Clipse "Hell Hath No Fury" Clipse are officially back, and time hasn't beaten them down or fattened them up, it's just honed their meticulous craft, broadened their vision and pissed them off. They're better - and angrier- than ever. This album features the singles "Mr. Me Too," featuring Pharrell and "Wamp Wamp (What It Do)," featuring Slum Thug. Hell Hath No Fury strikes a brilliant balance between futurism and nostalgia. It's an album of lyrics-driven hip-hop in the spirit of east coast rap's early '90s heyday, but it's also powered by the noisiest, meanest, most space-age production the Neptunes have ever served up. Review: Timeless Classic - Can’t believe these are finally in stock again and for $24 Review: Grimey Hip Hop At It's Best - The Clipse have delivered a classic follow up to their first album Lord Willin with Hell Hath No Fury. In the past the brothers have done some commerical songs like Ma I Don't Love Her but the CD is GRIMEY, straight street hip hop with tales of death and cocaine. The two lead singles Mr. Me Too and Wamp Wamp What It Do are still blowing up clubs worldwide. These are some of the sparsest, most off-kilter Neptunes beats. They prod, hiss, dart, and thump -- ideal backdrops to Pusha T's and Malice's blunt-force, if occasionally knotty, rhymes. "Ride Around Shining" is baroque boom-bap, nothing more than a neck-snapping beat, Richard Pryor-sounding grunts, and cascading harp filigrees. "Trill" grinds and slides under a swarm of hungry cyborg mosquitoes. Lyrically, coke dealing dominates the subject matter more on this set than on the debut. Clipse survey their operation and reap its rewards, from easy-to-understand quips like "Pyrex stirrers turned into Cavalli furs" to the relatively mind-bending "If you're looking for a couple roosters in the duffle, keep the 'hood screaming 'Cock-a-doodle-doo,' motherf*ckers." Apart from specific elements of the "Mind Playing Tricks on Me"-quoting "Nightmares," as well as a couple other brief instances, the rhymes are guardedly self-congratulatory, like the MCs are wiping the gains in the haters' faces, albeit with the nagging sense that it could all blow up in an instant. The whole thing, including the club-oriented tracks, is magnetically grim but that's fine with me.

Grimey Hip Hop At It's Best
The Clipse have delivered a classic follow up to their first album Lord Willin with Hell Hath No Fury.

"Okay, everybody meet Mr. Me Too."
I've heard this album a couple times, although I haven't gotten around to writing about it until now. Clipse's strong suit would definitely have to be their inventive lyrics, although the beats aren't bad either. Obviously I'm no expert on rap, but I have a pretty good time listening to this and I trust those more informed who speak for its quality. There's a similar theme running through a lot of the songs, as the two members talk about their apparent past dealing drugs on the streets and how now they're big rappers making money. The latter isn't a terribly original topic, but the honesty of the former is pretty interesting. The two guys sound similar but are distinguishable, and they rhyme about everything from Scarface to Sesame Street. I get that pop culture references are nothing new to hip-hop, but Clipse makes them pretty natural and well-integrated without getting off topic. There are a few guests on various tracks, some doing some singing in the chorus and others doing their own verses, like one track featuring the whole crew of the Re-Up Gang which Clipse is part of (I'd like to thank The Wire for improving my street vocabulary so dramatically). The album seems to get stronger as it goes on, at least musically. "Hello New World", "Keys Open Doors", and "Trill" seem to have the strongest beats backing them, at least to my ears that like original, bass-heavy sounds and odd vocal samples. And the closing song, "Nightmares", is easily the most distinct on the album, with an old R&B feel and nice groove. There's quality throughout the album though, starting with "We Got It for Cheap" as it introduces exactly what to expect and ends with a famous sound clip from Pulp Fiction. I've vaguely wanted to listen to a bit more rap than I have traditionally for some time now, because at least it's more interesting than some other popular genres, and Clipse seems like it was a good place to start.

I enjoyed the Clipse, wished they could’ve stayed together, however, despite being twins, each person must choose their own path. Mine brought me back to this album...to reminisce over the Clipse. This was a duo like a good 1-2 combo, like Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp...Hard to leave alone. I enjoyed the first album better, nevertheless, this one got purchased to bring me back. Go Clipse.

もうここまでかっこいいと言葉にできないよね、ここまで実験的かつヒットの要因のバランスが最高だと。 Mr. Me Tooはほぼドラムマシーンだけでここまでポップな作品って凄すぎ。でもそれって80年代のヒップホップへのオマージュとも言える。 次作はネプチューンズ以外のプロデューサー達が参加するのでとっ散らかった印象なので、とりあえずこのアルバムを聴けばネプチューンズの凄さがわかる。 Pusha Tのラップはこの頃から最高だったし。 正にヒップホップクラシック!

A very professional way of handling the order, the quality is as stated, overall excellent

4 Jahre nach "Grindin. 4 Jahre nach ihrem großen Durchbruch. 4 Jahre verschwunden in Fusionen und Zusammenlegen von Plattenfirmen und Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Welcher Künstler hätte hier nicht längst sein Feuer verloren und der Musikindustrie den Rücken gekehrt? Die meisten, aber nicht die beiden Brüder Pusha T und Malice aka The Clipse aus Virginia, USA. Mehr Hass, mehr Wut, mehr Eloquenz, mehr Arroganz und weniger Schema F-Rap. Lyrisch wird kein neuer Boden betreten, aber ein neuer Blickwinkel eröffnet. Und das auch musikalisch: Kein Beat von Pharrell und Chad aka The Neptunes war den beiden hart genug, kein schon gehörter, chartgeprüfter Sound innovativ genug. Auf 12 Tracks hat man dem Produzententeam alles an Kreativität abverlangt, was sie zu geben hatten - das nicht umsonst. Hell Hath No Fury ist ein prägnantes, kurzweiliges und direktes HipHop-Meisterwerk der Neuzeit. 4 Jahre waren es wert zu warten. Clipse & The Re-Up Gang still got it for cheap...
