camlNov 25, 2008Ridiculous lyrics that really give you a ripe image of gangster glory in your mind. Pusha-T and Malice are, quite honestly, the most underrated MCs of our time. And the Neptunes' simple, dark and artistic beats provide the perfect backdrop for the themes of the album.

EvanVFeb 8, 2007clipse keeps it real, even tho most of what they reference to is drugs, they keep it light and only breach the surface of "deep" rap..something i think they would excel in
-
-
ShepM.May 17, 2007The Best Rap Album of 2006.... The beats are amazing and it is as spontaneus as Lord 'Willin. The crack/drug life of Clipse can get somewhat annoying, but they are the best writers out right now..VA! They are re-inventing hip hop

life247Nov 29, 2006this album is crazy!! i can't stop listening to it!! wow..clipse really brought the heat with this one

OuasMNov 30, 2006I kinda agree with Gary E, now this cd is good and it will be on some album of the year list but a 91 on the critic side come on now. I don't know what got into this critics they must of got paid to give this a good rating. Don't get me wrong I feel the clipse but I can't take this one over The Roots, Ghostface, Black Ice or Lupe Fiasco Man. F&F and I'm done.

JosephMJan 7, 2007So so solid Clipse come back hard. One of the tightest of 06 if you don't buy this CD there's something wrong with you.
-
-
TheKingJan 9, 2007Great lyrics but the beats aren't that good and pharells rapping on it
-
-
RobbyChasingHawkFeb 3, 2007This album IS a classic. With only twelve tracks, clocking in at forty-eight minutes, GREAT production, GREAT lyrics, and being cohesive, Clipse have easily made the best Hip-Hop CD of the year, in fact, the best Hip-Hop CD of the past two years, and have made on of the best CD's of 2006. Cop it now, so Clipse can get the money they deserve!
-
-
EricCMar 1, 2007Funny how this was being made at the same time Nas was rapping about the death of hip-hop. In a world of ridin' dirty and chains hanging low, it's great to finally have guys like Clipse, Nas, and Ghost Face to come back and remind us what hip-hop should really be. Don't underappreciate what's being done here. This is real music.

ryanmApr 6, 2007this is one of the best albums ive heard in a long time. and is probably one of the best produced rap albums of all time. the clipse really put it to another level with their lyrics. in my opinon they are definately head shoulders above most rest of the rappers right now and all the young ones
-
-
WarrenKMay 3, 2007Fire!!!!!! best Album of 2006. Also most slept on album of 2006 Its a shame the dint get much play. Clipse speak the truth in there verses
-
-
chadmAug 5, 2007Clipse is only getting started. "Hell Hath No Fury" was an improvement on the great "Lord Willin'" and their next album will be even better than this one. Get it? "Nightmares" and "Ride Around Shining" are hidden gems; while "Wamp Wamp" (with Slim Thug) and "Trill" (with Pharrell) are the star tracks.

NotPushaTNov 30, 2006I won't dog this album. Overall, I think it's pretty good. But I don't understand why all the critics are falling over themselves to heap praise on it. The wordplay is clever and very good. But the topics? Come on, aren't we tired of crack rap yet? I know I am. But mostly, I'm not crazy about the beats. That said, I think Chinese New Year is fantastic.

-
MikeCDec 14, 2006This is a good hip/hop album, not a classic, not the best of 06, Ghostface a Lupe's albums tear this one up, but it is worth the money. This is the most gangsta mainstream rap album realeased in a while, and I gotta give it props for that

B.CarterDec 17, 2006Holly Crap this is Good ! I'm not even a big hip-hop fan but jeeeez! "Famous Rappers" take note....

-
ReubenFDec 19, 2006With the Neptunes providing the laid back, grindin' grooves, the urban poetry of Malice and Pusha-T are centre stage where they belong. Thanks Neptunes for not making them into bubblegum pop.

KyleMDec 4, 2006Some of the Neptunes' beats get stale, but Pusha T shines on one of the best hip-hop albums of the year. Big ups to Virgina Beach.
-
-
ZeddDec 5, 2006Fantastic, even with all the hype and anticipation.
-
-
PaulDec 7, 2006Not a single bad track here. Just one tight beat after another... If you know how the Neptunes produce, you know what you're getting here: A very high quality hip-hop album.
-
-
MundiaCDec 7, 2006this album is another slept on banger, it reminds me of Common's Be, lyrics and beats meshed perfectly to create a hip hop classic

BobNFeb 14, 2007This kid's an idiot (below me), it deserves more than a 1 out of 10. Really? The album has only earned ten percent? This is why you are not a music critic. Sure, it wasn't a great album, but it's much better than a 1.
-

mathK.Feb 26, 2007best rap album i have heard in a looooong time. brilliant beats and seething rhymes. great, great stuff. just buy it.
-
-
KennyMMar 26, 2007great rap album....but, sorry, the guys of clipse are no aesop rock, atmosphere, black thought, or el-p....and pharrel is no blockhead.
-
-
dariusmMar 6, 2007like pharrell said *classic* all u guys giving the album bad reviews, of course you're entitled to an opinion but personally i think you should reassess you music library. if this album isn't a classic ion know what is
-
-
TexasBoyJul 16, 2007I love the clipse... but i really wished they rapped about something else other than Coke. Its always cocaine this cocaine that with Pusha. And malice is rapping about expensive products. They're like the salesmen rappers. Italian carpets, White Lambo, only 80 grand! And pusha's the illegal salesmen like "peruvian white only 20 grand a Kilo with a discount!"
-
-
JTNov 28, 2006Only Ghostface's Fishscale outshines this as the best rap album of the year... it's a classic.
-
-
AONov 28, 2006As someone who rarely listens to any hip hop, this thing is just unbelievable. I've never even liked the Neptunes before!

vagmastermcsackingtonNov 29, 2006ball keeps rolling after we got it 4 cheap
-
-
JohnDNov 29, 2006Best gangsta-rap album of the year. Easily the second-best album of 2006, behind "For Hero: For Fool". (But that's just me.)
-
-
PushaMalNov 30, 2006Is it possible for hip hop to get better than this? Pusha T might be the olny rapper than can make a beat sound sick just by where he places his words...it's called flow, and he's the Michael Jordan of it

djmDec 14, 2006This is good, probably even very good and is up with Fishscale for the best rap album of the year. However, to call either one of these albums "classic" means that they are approaching the level of 36 Chambers, Ready to Die, etc. Those albums deserve 10's. These albums deserve 8's.

SteveSJan 12, 2007The album's pretty good overall. I fall asleep for a few seconds here and there, and more often than not, the Clipse can be one-trick ponies, but it's a pretty solid effort. What I don't understand is people who "don't usually listen to rap music" thoroughly digging this record. Sounds like somebody can't make a decision without the critic's help.
-
-
NickFFeb 24, 2007Seeds13 is a friggin moron. No clue whatsoever. No Limit got TERRIBLE reviews, he has no clue what he's talking about. Not everything great about an album lies on the surface...you might actually have to dig a little deeper pal!

JustinFeb 27, 2007A stellar album, with the freshest, most claustrophobic beats in years and simultaneously sexy and grimy lyrics.

SamENov 28, 2006Quite frankly, I have never heard a better, smarter, more tolerable, or more enjoyable rap album in my entire life. Pure bliss.
-

B.MichaelPNov 28, 2006Clipse's latest album is the Fishscale of 2006's back-end.

RobANov 28, 2006"The news called it crack, i called it Diet Coke. Oh!" Wise words Pusha, wise words.

JDillaDec 19, 2006ONE of the best of 06, not the best though. If you want some really special beats, flows, lyrical content, and an overall great CD, buy it. All the haters must like country, this is undeniably a great album.

Oct 12, 2013Amazing album. The Neptune's production on this thing is fun and incredibly well done. It has a particular sounds to it that has certified it's classification as a classic.
-
Jan 30, 2014Why is it okay for african-americans to be racist and say "Only white people like this album"? If a white person said "only black people can;t understand this music", it would be racist. So, please, drop the double standards and racism. Good music is good music. Kanye and Earl are both big fans of this albums so it doesn't hold up to scrutiny either. But maybe they're not "black enough"...

May 8, 2014The first standout are the quirky, junique beats. Then its Pusha T all over em, killin it. No Malice is solid, as they compliment each other well. No filler found. Each song is different, and yet it doesn't clash or seem scrambled.

Feb 7, 2021Some of the smoothest, cleanest rhymes I've heard. Eloquent, forceful, perfectly captures a tone. Not a single weak link in the entire album, and both Malice and Pusha have incredible moments. Truly classic

The best hip-hop album of 2006.

There's a cold efficiency in how the Clipse delivers songs built on street-corner cockiness and billfold bluster. It's all shamelessly amoral, but the Clipse wouldn't be such savvy hustlers if they didn't know how to sling with style.
