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

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.

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.
