If the clipping. team ever committed to a full-blown stage production I would be there opening night (or, more realistically given the Hamilton association, several months later at the earliest).

https://clppng.bandcamp.com/track/chapter-319Back for obvious reasons w/ the first official release of 2014 track “Knees On The Ground” + a searing new one since the relevant people clearly didn’t get the message the first time around. If you thought being the only homicide detective on this train might’ve softened Diggs’ edge then, well, no, it certainly hasn’t.

He's great. It was about 18 months or two years ago when it all came together for me to realize that the Clipping dude, the guy from Hamilton and Rainbow's goofy brother on Black-ish were all the same guy.

listening independently from the lyric video was key

I know it's not considered The Point of Clipping but "Body and Blood" is an all-time workout classic

I find the reliance on white-noise-as-percussion in the earlier releases a little one-dimensional at times but I still like them a lot, and of course the rapping is fucking ridiculous
― unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Monday, 14 September 2020 16:39 (three years ago) link
As a vocalist, Diggs has the charisma of a metronome and the expressive range of a sock puppet. Performing in a stiff monotone, he exclusively raps fast or faster, enunciating words with crisp diction but never relishing them or giving them life. “And there may even be some meaning gleaming in the streets that they built/On top of dead bodies in the olden days when the pen was a quill,” he raps on “Intro.” “The best menage is a death menage, agree?/ Chest massage with electric rods for three,” he says on “The Show.” You can appreciate the internal rhymes and inversions, but his flow is so robotic it rarely feels like he appreciates them.

I admit I thought this revive was going to be about their cover of "Tipsy" (really -- it's from the Save Stereogum compilation that came out last week, I think).

Watching Clipping palling around on Twitter with Backxwash has been a joy recently. If you've not heard the Backxwash mini-album yet, btw, you absolutely have to: https://backxwash.bandcamp.com/album/god-has-nothing-to-do-with-this-leave-him-out-of-it

It's possible that a capable MC might have balanced CLPPNG's deficiencies, but Diggs is far from capable. His backpacker-y flow sounds shopworn compared to the radically out-there beats, and his lyricism is lacking overall; hip-hop may be a massively self-referential genre, but the fact that nearly every track has at least one reference to an older Top 40 rap song seems like a grab for borrowed interest. Considering clipping.'s left-of-center style, he’s not particularly weird, and the persona that he projects—smart and misanthropic—is muddled at best. Overall, CLPPNG is chock full of ideas, and if its failure is due to overambitiousness, well, there are worse ways to fail.

Like I said, I'm still reeling. I suppose this means P4k reviews have retained the potential to offend me in 2020.
