GeoReview: Clipse, Hell Hath No Fury

By Clayton Ruley
 

After the critical success of their first album Lord Willin' The Clipse have returned to the scene and it's the same grindin' music.

This 12 track LP has a heavy Neptunes flavor to it and both Pusha T and Malice still talk that money, cash and honeys talk. The Clipse haven't been in the big lights due to label & team battles but have kept their names in streets due to the mixtapes scene that blew up in the new south of U.S.A. especially their We Got It For Cheap series and the formation of The Re-Up Gang. The Re-Up Gang (peep them on "Aint Cha" was formed and consists of The Clipse, Sandman, Ab-Liva both of Philadelphia PA.

This music isn't for the kids but if you mature and you know that these are artist paid to tell stories about their life present and especially past you can ride to this. The beats are nice. Songs like "Mr. Me Too" and "Wamp Wamp (featuring Slim Thug)" have definite commercial while "Momma I'm Sorry", "Keys Open Doors", "Ride Around" "Shinning (featuring Liva and Rosco)" and "Chinese New Year" do the streets right. "Nightmares" is very calm for the Clipse but it's tight due in part to Bilal's sound on this guest appearance.


Overall a OK album but something is missing. Maybe it's the time lost over the label fracas and the dependance on the Neptunes for all the beats.

I would like to hear the Clipse on some different producers tracks and also wanna see them show some of the same in-depth lyrics we heard on I'm Not You or Virginia on a consistent basis.

They do what they do well but it could be a longer more diverse album with those type of tracks. I'll give it 3 GeoGlobes.
