These elements don't need to be mutually exclusive, but these days its rare to find an act that can please all sides of the discussion. Clipse are one of the few groups that successfully and consistently caters to both sides of raps splintered psyche, simultaneously serving the scene with upbeat bangers that get the club poppin \u0026amp; subwoofers rattlin while crafting clever quotable compositions deserving of repeated headphone submersions. Though their preceding official albums Lord Willin (2002) \u0026amp; Hell Hath No Fury (2006) made bigger splashes commercially, 2009s Til The Casket Drops is surely no slouch, a gem which deserves to be revisited with fresh ears.?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Til The Casket Drops was a departure from the duo of Malice \u0026amp; Pusha Ts previous works in that it was their first LP not completely produced by The Neptunes. However, the celebrated team who brought us Grinding \u0026amp; Mr. Me Too still helmed 8 of the albums 13 tracks, thus dominating the soundscapes and aesthetic of the album anyway. With the remaining beats handled by Hitmen Sean C \u0026amp; LV (Jay-Z, Big Pun, Ghostface) and Aftermaths DJ Khalil (Kendrick Lamar, Aloe Blacc, Eminem) clearly Clipse stock hadn't lowered in the game. While boasting notable vocal features from Kanye West, Pharrell, Camron, Keri Hilson, Yo Gotti \u0026amp; their Re-Up Gang affiliate Ab-Liva, Casket Drops leaves ample space for the core emcee duo of Pusha \u0026amp; Malice to shine in the spotlight, with verses revolving around each other succinctly in-synch and bonded by an exceptional creative rhythm only biological brothers could share.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Clipse have always delighted in dualities, juxtapositions and contradictions, unabashedly celebrating the capitalistic lifestyle and the grind as the kings of coke-rap, while taking hard looks at society's mores and those of their own individual journeys. We hear Malices eventual transition to No Malice taking form on this album as he found religion, warning others who might follow in his path on Footsteps: don't let my wrongs give you the right of way\/ to emulate my past escaping the laws grasp while refusing to be pinned down in one lane: it weights on my conscience and I hate conscious rap. Meanwhile, Pusha T continues his lyrical ascent into the King Push persona with bars like pompous motherfucker, look what them jewels made me\/ Im only finding comfort in knowing you can't replace me\/ What a thing to say, but what am I to do\/ I'm role-playing a conscious nigga and true is true\/ Cocaine aside, all of the bloggers behooved\/ My critics finally have a verse of mine to jerk off to decisively on album opener Freedom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOut of print on vinyl since 2017, Get On Down is reissuing the final Clipse album on Fruit Punch colored vinyl in a gatefold jacket with cover art by KAWS and a hand-numbered OBI limited to 2000 copies.?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Freedom\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Popular Demand (Popeyes) feat Cam'Ron \u0026amp; Pharrell\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Kinda Like A Big Deal feat Kanye West?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 Showing Out feat Yo Gotti?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 I'm Good feat Pharrell?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA6 There Was A Murder\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Door Man\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 Never Will It Stop feat Ab Liva\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 All Eyes On Me feat Keri Hilson?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Counseling feat Nicole Hurst?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 Champion\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB6 Footsteps\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB7 Life Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clipse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853243474263,"sku":"ZZ-GET51324C-LP","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/ClipseTilCasketMain.png?v=1782184890","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/til-the-casket-drops-colored-lp-w-obi","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
