Clipse & Re-Up Gang - We Got It 4 Cheap Mixtape Vol. 2 - AWESOME!

I lost my credit card in L.A. and can't order this for another week!

I like that Mizell in the Stranger calls it "bananas fucking flambé."

"Best writer since Hov wit it/It's like Nirvana, Dave Grohl wit it"

The fucking "Muah Magnifique!" line that P-Fork quotez is so awesome....

This I must hear!

More than three years after Clipse released their Neptunes-produced, chart-storming debut album, the Virginia rap duo — brothers Pusha T and Malice — are finally set to drop a follow-up, Hell Hath No Fury, in 2006.

knitting factory?!

slate?!

Then he goes silent. It's probably the most haunting moment on the album.

looool

haha i was really excited about that

i should listen to this again to see if i still like it as much.

ghostface'd

i don't feel bad for liking stuff

definition of a roller was pretty good

this holds up pretty good...i actually still like this better than either of the real albums...everyone says they are a perfect match for neptunes stuff, but i kinda like them better over the reused east coast beats on this....makes me excited for when they get dropped and fall out with pharell and do an album on the cheap for koch or something.

An album that all sounded like "I'm Serious" would be great.

i think at the end of the day that new clipse album sort of wore me out due to the mastering, not to get all destructiv use of dynamic range compression commandoh, but it's a really harsh fucking album...all the ssss and things are so hissy...wears out my ears.

I was considering reviving that Hell Hath No Fury thread a couple days ago and laughing about how quickly after the album release it just turns into a discussion about writing on the ass/crotch of BAPE and a couple of other companies.

For such a (ahem) 'seminal' album it was a pretty interesting turn.

"in a post-Ride Around Shining world"

that ain'tcha or whatever song is the most annoying hook.

i still like it though, it's just the mixtape i think aged better than the album for me.

I still like the album, but

all the ssss and things are so hissy...wears out my ears.

is definitely on point.

The brothers didn’t hesitate to remind us that no matter what anyone said or how many records they sold, that Hell Hath No Fury was the record of the year in 2006. I’ve never disagreed with them, and Saturday’s performance proves them as an equally impressive live presence, drawing an enormous crowd to their feet and singing along with the often mightily catchy choruses. I think when Malice and Pusha led us through the chorus of “Chinese New Year,” with who knows how many kids unleashing the “Rat-tat-tat-tat” sound of vocalized gunfire out over a peaceful Chicago afternoon, that the question of where the Clipse fans were at was duly answered.

mightily catchy

drawing an enormous crowd to their feet

was this a seated "an evening with the clipse..." type show??

More likely a Clipse Pops in the Park type show.

someone should take these pictures at every clipse show and then publish a where's waldo book, but instead of waldo it would be black people.

The brothers

i wonder if the author considered the double meaning here.

Whenever this gets bumped I vainly hope that it's because they've released something new.

and the award for 2006's best much-anticipated, long-delayed by label drama album from mean siblings on harsh beats goes to... JUGGAKNOTS

i was kinda down on that, still love breezly but ... joint was just 'ok'

for real

Clipse did it again!

Will these things described in a Billoard 2007 article happen:

By then, the Clipse was in talks with a variety of labels about a new deal, eventually settling on a five-year, 50/50 profit-sharing arrangement with Columbia for Re-Up Gang Records.

The Clipse will own the masters for its Re-Up Gang artists, Ab Liva and Sandman. Next year, the Clipse will issue a Re-Up Gang album as well as a new studio disc, but for the first time, the latter will not be produced solely by the Neptunes. Instead, the brothers are anticipating working with Timbaland, Danjahandz and Dame Grease.

"I can honestly say that we were all friends before the music and will be friends to the end," Malice says of his relationship with the Neptunes. "Everything is business. If we had our way, we would always be on Star Trak. But it's what's working for you and what's not. We just want good energy, and Columbia has both the urgency and the muscle."

"The Clipse will own the masters for its Re-Up Gang artists, Ab Liva and Sandman"

lot of money to be made there.

double up on birds like noah at the flood

^^

sorta like avon and marlo when you set it off.....so i haven't been listening to that much new hip hop over the past few years, but are there any other good lines/rhymes (by anyone) that reference The Wire??

sean price had one like "never show you bozos love, omar from the wire, youse a homo thug"

via wikipedia
"Their follow up to Hell Hath No Fury will also feature production from Sean "Diddy" Combs' production team, The Hitmen"

didn't know where else to post this but this could be a VERY VERY good thing

considering that basically every beat on hell hath is garbage i'd say it can't help but be an improvement

Ha ha, white people enjoy hip hop

forksclovestfu

*rolling my damn eyes* @ you mostly though

yeah i'm excited for them to reach beyond the neptunes for beats on their real albums.

they better not take a million years with this album

ha ha "J0rdan S" has poor taste

dude its 2008 and you're still using lolquotes?

what are the cool kids using these days, BIG HOOS aka the steendriver?

sorry: "BIG HOOS aka the steendriver"

recognize

Yeah, people who don't like Neptunes beats from 2006 have shitty taste. You tell 'em Forks!

"Ride Around Shinin" and "Trill" are a couple of the dopest beats in a long time

"Momma I'm So Sorry"
"Mr. Me Too"
"Wamp Wamp"
"Keys Open Doors"

also all good

but the rest are kinda trash

New clipse mixtape.
fiya

shit I'm bad at formatting

IT'S LIKE NOBODY LIKES MIXTAPES ANYMORE

u new here?

is this the part where we show the new guy our memes

As a Clipse fan with waning interest in their musical output, I wanted to not invest much time or energy into thinking about this new mixtape. It was done for a magazine, in promotion for a clothing line and name drops Nah Right in a verse eight months after Mickey Factz or something probably did.

But seriously, when are we going to forever write off this rap group? They've released two generally garbage mixtapes this year, plus an "album" where half of the verses were directly lifted from a mixtape and placed over one Storch beat and a bunch of fake Storch beats and they asked you to pay them for it. For dudes who rhyme all day about 09 Benzes and Parada shades and Italy this strikes me as a supremely dick move. Where were you internet?

More importantly: do these guys have a fire anymore? Even in this era of trapper-not-rapper/got rich before rap, are they even trying? Yeah, they had great punchlines on both volumes of We Got It For Cheap; some of those verses are my favorite rap verses ever. But wasn't the most galvanizing part of those tapes the fact that here were two dudes rapping their asses off for their lives basically? Maybe they were or maybe they weren't. Maybe if those tapes never jumped off they'd have faded away forever to get rich off coke money. Or maybe they would've hung around spitting verses on N.E.R.D. records until Pharell finally got their album off. No one knows, but in 2005, when it felt like their careers— and lives— hung in the balance, it made for some really powerful rap music.

But the way they rap now, this is sloth rap. These are verses and ideas and styles and flows not just recycled, but back in your fridge again as another soda can. Say what you will about Wayne, but he's still worth following because he's still going places. Both him and The Clipse are arguably at the lowest creative points in their careers, but look back to December 2007. Wayne's notably deviated from that time, both with awful stuff like his dialysis-esque attachment to AutoTune and with great stuff like "A Milli" and "Dr. Carter". It's entirely possible, and maybe even likely, that Wayne is going to snap out of his funk and return to rapping like he was two years ago. Does anyone— stans included— think that The Clipse, as they stand now as these self-fulfilled gluttons, are going to return to the rappers they were on We Got It 4 Cheap? (NB: I'm not saying Hell Hath No Fury because I think that album is plagued by lots of the problems that I'm outlining here, a few songs excluded) Even more to the point: does anyone believe that Clipse want to return to the rappers they were on "Zen" or "Cot Damn"? Even if circumstances prevented them being able to mentally return to that point, does anyone get the feeling that these two guys strive to be more than they are right now. I see this desire in Jeezy. I see it in Kanye. I see it in Ludacris. I see it in Boosie and Webbie and Freeway and even Gorilla Zoe. Wayne had that fire back when no one believed him when he said he was the best rapper alive, and now that he's been validated, at least commercially, he hasn't showed even the slightest hint of slowing down. These guys, they see frontiers. The Clipse, they seem pretty comfortable giving us the same tired rhymes over other people's beats.

Anyone who has been with The Clipse since 2001, or even 2005, should resent them. If you're one of those people, you should resent this bullshit they're handing you. You should resent the fact that they're going to whine about their third LP, that they're going to suck you in, and that it's going to be exactly like the shit we got this year. I would demand more from them— from us— but think about The Clipse in 2008. Is there a point?

kinda agree. these last three releases have been the first stretch where they haven't really switched or stepped their game up AT ALL

yeah great blog post there - dude's otm

i totally never got the hype about HHNF and these last few mixtapes have cemented my opinions about where they are going

the clipse released an "album" recently?

not really

he's basically OTM but also i like this new one and i kinda don't care that they are pretty much stuck in a rut. most rappers end up getting stuck in a rut...but i basically like the rut...there's a certain grim precision about them that is their strength and weakness...

really like organ hook and the dancehall type hook....

yeah i dunno...i guess i never really thought the clipse was some brave new future for rappin or whatever....like they seemed like great craftsmen but very limited in what they do....

"Powder to the. Mother. Fucking. Ceiling"
Tell me that ain't hardco'

and it's not much to do with clipse, but the rising synths on Pop Champagne are defo smile creating

yeah like i'm digging this fine...but i think the main point is that new clipse isn't necessarily going to blow your mind or anything, it'll probably just be a relatively better or worse version of what they've done before...like a new scarface record or something (although they are nowhere near scarface overall)...or a new too short record or something

i like that they're 2 indistinguishable goons aren't all over it

their

thx for clarifying
