    The 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

    So 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.

    This 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!

    this 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

    Clipse 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.

    this album is another slept on banger, it reminds me of Common's Be, lyrics and beats meshed perfectly to create a hip hop classic

    As someone who rarely listens to any hip hop, this thing is just unbelievable. I've never even liked the Neptunes before!

    Is 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

    The beats were what grabbed me immediately, and for the first few spins, i didnt even bother with the lyrical content yet. But then i noticed that the beats were so hard and spare that they DID start getting stale . . . until i turned my full attention to the words. The flows are excellent (Pusha T's is a bit better), but the WORDS they flow are what makes the album a 10.

Sure, it's one of many drug rap albums, but the lyrics are just heads and shoulders cleverer and deeper. I can listen to this album over and over again, if only for the words. And the beats go with the lyrics pretty well, so the words in turn make the beats great. Expand

    It's ghetto viciousness as literary exercise--an episode of The Wire with a better soundtrack. [Nov 2006, p.142]
  2. The best hip-hop album of 2006.
  3. 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.
