Album Review: CLIPSE - Till the Casket Drops | Album Release Party Thurs Dec 10th | Lotus DC
Clipse are back in the saddle with their first studio album since Hell Hath No Fury in 2006. I haven't been this excited about a Clipse record since the first time I ripped the packaging off of Lord Willing back in 2002. Clipse changed the Hip Hop game not only by being two of the dopest lyricist in the game, with their pioneered "Coke Rap", but they've also incorporated their own Virginia Beach swagger without jumping on the East Coast and Down South chart bandwagon.
This album shows versatility in the Clipse new sound by their tracks selection. Although a high percentage of the records were zapped by the Neptunes, there are other tracks by Hitmen producers Sean C & LV, and Super Producer DJ Khalil. This project promises appearances by Keri Hilson, Yo Gotti, The "BOSS" Rick Ross, Pharrell, Ab-Liva, and Harlem World's native son Cam'ron.
When asked about diverting away from their pioneered "Coke Rap", in Hell Hath no Fury, Malice responds, "We were angry that's why that album was so dark". "Til the Casket drops is an actual depiction of where the Clipse are in our lives". Malice speaks a lot about lost friends, love ones, and the vulnerable subject of "fatherhood" in the new Album.
Some of the splashiest records on the project are "Popeyes" which features Cam'ron and my Summertime top back jawn, "I'm Good" featuring Pharrell. Get ready to press repeat on "Kinda Like a Big Deal" produced by DJ Khalil featuring Kanye West. This is the type of club banger that will get constant request at LOVE. "All Eyes on Me" featuring Keri Hilson may be a Gentlemen's Club banger, so fellas get your stacks ready.
