Hell Hath No Fury

This is a must buy! I really love this CD! This is another Dirty South Classic! All these songs on here are great! This is the tightest one's that The Clipse ever did! I had this on bootleg a while back, but I upgraded it! They represent Virginia to the fullest! This is their second classic CD! Thanks for this one right cha!Dee Smalls!Represent ​Decatur, GA!

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.

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.

This was cool I don't think it was better than their debut I think its more harder it sounds less radio friendly not saying that the debut was l,,but this one sounds more for the streets dope album a lot of replay value

The album sound great!

Just listen, you'll love it,

good album from good guys.....sad they aren't together as a group anymore though

Several hot tracks on this album: "We Got It For Cheap", "Mr. Me Too", "Momma I'm So Sorry", "Wamp Wamp"! High music energy with lyrical savvy!
