Reception

Supreme Blientele received positive reviews from critics. Riley Wallace of Exclaim! rated it a 9/10, saying "Westside Gunn's storytelling game is on point, and with his unique cadence, he provides yet another piece of hip-hop artwork".[8] Mike Madden of Pitchfork rated it a 7.1/10, saying "Gunn fades too much into the background of his own album, but the collaborations also result in some of the best songs here [...] this crowdedness prevents Supreme Blientele from feeling like a definitive statement from Gunn as a rapper, the album can still function".[9] Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone rated the album 3/5 stars, saying "Gunn himself has a sharp, high-pitched voice and breaks verses down into micro-fragments; he’s not as lyrically deft as some of his thug rap peers, but he's punchy and effective".[10]
