Pusha T said, "I think it's about time for us to really focus on the music-business side of the game, I think we been doing a lot of street-oriented, underground catering. I think now the people wanna see the Clipse in a different light. Not even in a different light ... but people who champion and scream for the Clipse, they always scream, 'I think the Clipse is better than such and such.' But then they would be comparing mixtapes to people's commercial albums. It's like, 'Yo, it's time to put both on the same plane.' "
Malice backed up his brother by continuing, "It's time to be exposed to a wider audience, We do what we do and always stay true. That's just the chemistry of the Clipse: stay true to what we are."
Their upcoming album Til The Casket Drops is expected to have a wide range of producers involved, including Timbaland, Danjahandz, Kanye West, Just Blaze and Swizz Beatz. The Neptunes, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Sean C. and LV, DJ Khalil, the Runners, Dame Grease and Reefa have already turned in beats.

do what you do to get that paper, CREAM
"That's just the chemistry of the Clipse: stay true to what we are." if they do that the album should be a banger
i always felt like they had the big name producers... didnt they come out with the neptunes... but idk their mixtapes are firrre but no so much the album
@Nu JeRzY DeViL
r u kiddin me their last album was hot, only bad thing was there weren't enough tracks considering the wait for it
i meant to direct that comment to Saigiddy
good...they need to get back in the spotlite...album should be hot
o and go cop that re-up gang too...that shit is crazy
til the casket drops is gonna be classic. clipse soo underrated. they always come with fyahh.
they need this, they are TOO underrated
Man they deserve a successful album to sell just like Allen Iverson deserves a championship
Why the fuck does Iverson deserve a ring? He has yet to show me that he is worthy of a championship title. He better hope he gets traded to a team with a legitimate chance because he's not a player to make his teammates better.
You can't say "always", because Lord Willin' was a hot ass album FULL of hot songs. I am still debating if it's a classic, and if it is not, than it is damn close. PEACE Come check me out Friday mornings 11-1 EST on The Livin' Large Morning Show at www.clubmegamix.com Show some love. Listening to "Put On" Instrumental by Young Jeezy
Clipse album gon hot, drop that shit already whats it been like 3 years since Hell Hath No Fury...that was one solid album if they can drop another on the same level of quality ill be sure to cop it
I'mma support my boys from VA no matter what style they bring, because you know its gonna be hot.
This shit will probably be the best-produced album of the year, judging by the names in that article.
@ Nu Jersey
You don't know shit about basketball..Iverson put it all out there anytime he steps on the court..I can't say the same for Lebron, McGrady, Carter or Nash..If you put his heart in Shaq he'd be the best basketball player ever..It ain't all about talent it's about heart and none of those are Iverson calibur..Those other players with the exception of Nash show up for every game..You gotta be 12 or some shit..
Aside from that the Clipse came straight out the gate with commercial singles..Their first two cd's were full of radio friendly tracks..When did the Clipse ever made grimy underground music..They do their thing no doubt but underground, i think not..Remember, "Grindin", "Ma I don't love her", "When the last time", "Mr. Me too"..Who do they think they fooling with that bullshit they talking..You can't get more commercial than Pharrell..He makes pop records..
You are right about Iverson the only reason they don't say he is the best player in the game because he is to short and he don't have a championship people forget that years ago when he took the phony seventy-sixers to the championship and single handling beat them in the first game. At the end of the day the lakers a had to many players for Iverson to beat. But Virginia rappers and sports players are all underated. Mick Vick, Allen Iverson, The Clipse, Mad Skillz and etc... The list goes on. But Virginia has some good talent
don't forget Plaxico Burress, Alonzo Mourning, The Barber Brothers, JJ Reddick, Sweet Pea Whitaker, Ronald Curry, Moses Malone, Ralph Sampson, Bruce Smith, Fran Tarkenton, Lawrence Taylor,Curtis Snead,Ricky Rudd,Arthur Ashe, Herman Moore, Darren Sharper, Julius Jones, and Deangelo Hall. Not to mention, two of the best production camps, Timbaland and the Neptunes. Big ups to Missy, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, D'angelo and Teddy Riley also. VA represent!
Da best rap duo since Outkast...hands down, they album gon be sweet...Learn it.
ReDef.
^cosign wit D123940 VA all day!!! We da best known unknown idk wuts in da water down hea, but I done gotta sip of it too!!! VA is da checkpoint of the eastcoast, to get to da south you gotta come through us, to get to da north you gotta come through us,...Learn it.
ReDef.
Bottom of the North top of the South!
I agree with all the underrated talent from Va with the exception of Vick..I think he's very physically gifted but he's not that great of a quarterback..To be quite honest he looked horrible at times and spectacular at others..As a matter of fact both Iverson and Vick are great individual talents but not great team players..However, Iverson has matured more in that regard the last few years..The Nuggets need a real coach and I wish they would've traded Melo for someone that actually wants to show up for work everyday..He's like a black version of the European players..No defense and if his offense ain't on he's kind of useless..He displayed more of his talent and heart in that one year in college than all his years in the NBA..
I agree with you on Carmelo when he was in college I thought he was gone be the shit in the nba
it dont even really matter cause albums aint selling no more unless u got a really really big buzz, and the clipse been quiet for a minute far as that goes so hopefully they will just make the best music they can and put it out.
Clipse going platinum first week period.
allow to re-iterate my-self they're going multi-platinum...
Fucking haters trash my comments it's your job to hate, so how many can I collect from redundant listeners on a Clipse board!!!
i seen this cummin
they wasnt gone sell being hood all the time
you gotta have sum kind of radio play songs on the cd
cant take away from dudes talent
every rapper in the game has to do it
Not a hater but Clipse going plat in a week??!! I dunno, about this one. Oh and A.I. is good for scoring not winning thats why He must change his outlook on the game or he will never be a champion. Refer to the interview about the infamous "Practice" issue. A.I. says, "How the hell can I make my team mates better by practinin'?" If I recall the greatest player in the NBA made all team mates around him better, thats why the Bulls were a dynasty. Real Talk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI seefor your self
This can work, because with their lyrics and them commercial beats it equals fire.
Man That 5ome Bull5hid The5e Nigga5 I5 2 Of Tha Realie5t Rapper5 in Tha Game And Now They Gone 5witcKh Ova Man that5 5ome Whak 5hid...
they need to develope there own lane in the game, they can do it, as long as they dont get caught in that zone like, they feel they have to sell there soul to be on top like some of these other artist
the Clipse always kept it street and thats what i like, i got that re-up gang album and hell hath no fury and both are classics. but i'll support them if they gotta run commercial with it.
the clipse are most def. underrated as artist...
living out Va myself i remember when the broke out and filmed their video down the street from my neighborhood...been liking them ever since...
lyrically their always on point...i think some of their beats can be suspect at times though...but they the truth!..(too bad they didn't bury wayne :( lol....gotta admit "Don't make me turn daddy's little girl into an orphan/that means i'll have 2 kill baby like an abortion" is an hot ass line)
... Yea that Grindin video was bangin for VA
Then Quan rep bad newz on "Just a Moment"
...gotta fuck wit the local niggas
VA All Day
yall fagets on this site make me sick
then why are you here?...
you go sooo hard...
i mean how many people have the guts to talk about people over the computer?
now thats ganster!...
(hope you feel the sarcasim)...
ps...kill yoself lol
lol and check this guys myspacae page lol...
pics of other dudes and guns that you found on google images...
your 2 gangster for me buddy lol...
peep the pic where he claims he keeps it hood because he has a bed sheet in his "studio". lol this guy is a joke
AJ, you ain't have to expose money like that! LOL! Funny ish. You don't need those fake gunz in the studio pimpin, nor do we need another fake ass gangsta rapper, especially from Miami. What a lame.
THE CLIPSE IZ PROTEGE'Z OF WORLDWIDE KNOWN PRODUCER PHARELL!! IF THEZE NIGGA MAKE THE SWITCH THEY GONE BLOW EASY!!! THEY GOT THE LYR1C'Z,GOT BEATZ FROM ONE OF THE TOP PRODUCERZ(THEY DONT EVEN HAVE 2 FUCK WIT OTHER PROD. RIGHT NOW,JUST STAY N HOUSE), N MOST OF ALL THEY GONE DO IT!! WATCH..
BLACK WALLSTREET BITCH!!!
Actually The Clipse already left Pharell, not to say they don't get beats from him but they arnt getting em for free. They wanted to move on which im all for. We got it for cheap Vol.3 was fire and i have faith they'll stay on top of shit but i wasn't really feelin that Fast Life shit. If thats what they mean by getting commercial then PLEASE STOP. Nigga's get too wound up in selling records they forget about making good hip-hop. That's what i like about Wu-Tang, no matter how succesful they got they still kept true to the hardcore fan.
commercial route is smart, give the white suburban what they want and world wide etc.whatever it takes to keep out the streets the corners are saturated, everbody need to think of this money out here, u know what im talking bout,as long as they hold up in the mixtape thang and commercial they with make it
it cant be any worse than soulja boy lol
dang* i suc at typing
everybody find D123940's comment.
Commercial sucks.
If you have to change up your style then your fake, bad move for clipse hopefully this is a rumor.
Man I hate this "Underground/ Commercial" arguments....Making Money is always a good thing...It don't make you a sellout...No one is hate Outkast for Speakerboxx...Shoot it went Diamond and it ain't even Aquemini let alone Southernplayalisticmusik....
A lyrical artist without commercial appeal is like a great defense with no offense..Call that rapper a "Baltimore Raven".....Sometimes you got to score points
i think when they say they gonna go commercial, they gonna drop singles that arent gonna be censored...all their shit is on some hood, gutter lyrics, thats why they arent gettin the shine they deserve from the mainstream, but still, if it means they gonna get recognized for their talent AND make money at the same time, u cant even knock them for that choice
and as far as The Answer conversation that took place above...even if he NEVER wins a title, thats the best lil guy to play the game ever. better than isiah even. co-sign whoever was talkin bout that year he went to the finals! he carried that team on his back, even playin when he was injured, and he the only one to give it to the lakers and prevent them from sweeping the ENTIRE playoffs! i fell in love with bball when i saw lil homie step over tyronne lue after making him fall, real talk! yea he may say alota shit bout "practice" or his coaches and teammates, but actions speak louder than words, and last time i checked The Answer always left his heart on the floor, with injuries, offcourt bs, and etc. haters can hate, but u cant deny allen iverson's place in the game of basketball
100% agree
Good move for them. Very underated but to me they are tight! Should be a good move for them and all then best.
No doubt pharrell will be providing some fire beats for them!

Niether one of them niggas can ryhme
If not for Pharell.....where would these niggas really be?
Hope my niggas dont go 2 commercial. The Clipse is at the top of the rap game so they deserve shine tho. And that Hell Hath No Fury was near a classic
if they change sum shit up I hope its for the best cuz hell hath no fury was a classic and lord willin was a shade under...Clipse already made they only lane by pioneerin this coke rap and keepin it lyrical...the way I feel is if it aint broke dont fix it but only time will tell what direction these niccas headed in
