this was the first sorta dud from clipse. didn't have that uniquely weird production and while performances were fine, none blew me away.
this one had some decent tracks, but was definitely the weakest album so far full length wise. some songs were just boring.
clipse once again proving to be one of the best rap duo's to ever exist. neptunes once again back in the producer chair, doing better than on the last album. had more great performances from push and malice too.
extremely strong start to clipse's discography. fully produced by the neptunes, who provided a wide range of sound, and pusha and malice shwoing off strong performances.
my 2025 rap album of the year. what a masterpiece from pusha and malice. the production from pharrell was phenomenal, and the performances were so grimy and hard. potential for top rap album of the decade even.
