Clipse revolutionize the East Coast game with this album. Bringing lyrical hip hop with a slight Dirty South flavor, this album takes you through twelve tracks filled with grimy beats (Keys Open Doors, Ride Around Shining) and expert punchlines (take Pusha T's line in Momma I'm So Sorry: "I philosophize about glocks and keys / Niggaz call me Young Black Socrates). One of my favorite hip hop albums ever made.

Clipse make a large return to form with Hell Hath No Fury, and so so with more vigor, skill, and production values than ever before. While you can vaguely tie them in with todays "gangsta-bitch" styling of rap, they do it much better than anyone else; envenomed flows, psuedo-experimental beats, and a sense of majesty T.I. wished he had.

I kind of feel bad about rating this so low because while this album takes a sound to its qualitative extreme, it's just not a sound I'm interested in. Every song here could've been a radio hit, and any of those songs would've been the best thing on your local hip hop station circa-'06, but that's exactly the problem: this album is a collection of great singles pressed into a slightly monotonous whole. The production is always banging (save the closer Nightmares, which provided some much-needed variation), there are clever bars throughout ("get all of her twisting like Dickens"), but it never quite transcends the "guns, drugs and money" stereotype until the last track, which by then is too late.

There are moments on this album, where I start to think "DAMN, how many different ways can you rap about coke?" Apparently enough to give this 4 stars out of 5, duh.

IMO one of the best Hip Hop releases in 2006 and possibly since. The material is hard edged but diverse enough to be interesting, and the guys definitely have the ability to delve beyond the basic brag and brawl raps that many in the hardcore hip hop scene seem to be unable to transcend. The production is sparse yet well done, props to Pharrell and co.

Clipse's debut displayed an MC duo that wasn't too remarkable, but displayed a lot of potential. What made it a remarkable record was that the producers (notably The Neptunes on the one-heard-never-forgetten "Grindin'") were willing to take risks. The same applies to the producers here - while you'd have to stretch to call it experimental, it's certainly an unusual record. What holds it back is that, for the first 9 tracks, the producers fail to provide a single hook. Clipse themselves make up for this by upping their game considerably and providing the hooks themselves through sheer ability. So far, so above average, but the final three tracks are all astounding. "Trill"'s beat is insane, "Chinese New Year" is even MORE out there, and "Nightmares" boasts a guest appearance from the fantastic Bilal. If there's a bigger talent in neo-soul, I'd love to hear it. It's this triple-whammy that makes this a worthy outside contendor for the rap album of the year, though it has, admittedly, been a weak year.
