Clipse- Hell Hath No Fury (2006 Soundtrack to The Streets)

Clipse 2006 album, “Hell Hath No Fury” made an impact and a soundtrack to complete my summer.

Pusha T & No Malice (Formerly known as No Malice) have been apart of the rap scene, starting off in the Virginia scene. The scene was filled with Timbaland, Missy Elliot, & their mentor, Pharrell Williams. Being apart of the Virgina scene was not all bounce and club music. There is more too it than others think. Coke rap been a buzz and the best ways to tell Coke raps in the 2000’s was Shyne Po & Clipse. Millennial’s, remember going in the lunch room and hearing 2002 hit, “Grinding” beat on your lunch table and those around you started freestyling? Besides the classic, “Lord Willin”, they also dropped street classics such as 2004’s “We Got it 4 Cheap” series. Clipse kept it so street, even the Justin Timberlake 2002 song, “Like I love you” made it seem like a song you can still slang too. After their final effort, 2010’s “Till The Casket Drop” tells there fans through subliminal’s that no one can remain in the dope game forever. This made sense because Pusha T been dropping solo verses, even guest starred on the hottest remix of 2006, “Chevy’s Riding High” Feat. Dre, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Dirtbag, & The Game. Pusha T signed a deal with GOOD Music owned by Kanye West and managed to hold it down as a top tier lyricist. No Malice has gotten closer to God. Things happened in his personal life where he felt that he had to change or he was going to end up dead or in jail. Despite the Christian reference in his music, No Malice has still kept his grimey cadence to deliver the word to the streets. Honestly, if you listen to his music, you wouldn’t tell that he changed at all.

Pusha T & Malice AKA The Clipse has created the illest dope boy rhymes for us millennial’s to ride too.

Commemorating one of best rap’s best soundtracks to 2006 as it (Hell Hath No Fury) has turned 15 years old. I will dig track by track and tell you about the vibe this CD gave me in the summer of 2006. This album was a classic and a great reminder because it made me think about everything I did that summer, good or bad. I also remember meeting up with this girl I was in love with at the time and remember how them tracks played and I end up having flashback’s of me riding my bike to her house while this was playing on my Sony MP3 player I had back then. When I had Myspace, Mr. Me Too was the song played on my profile which got me hyped every time I would check my page for messages. What also made this happen was the production was handled by The Neptunes and the album was handled by none other than Pharrell himself .Here is an in dept description of how each track went.

1. We Got It 4 Cheap (Intro)-They finally made it known that these two brothers got it 4 cheap. They letting the rap world know they are the plugs you need in the rap game to help tell tale’s of the dope game and how they managed to deliver a fine class luxury bars. This is a intro for all the Dope Boy’s all across the world.
2. Momma I’m So Sorry- There is no shamed in feeling sorry that you put your mom through pain. The duo tells a memoir about how sinful they were moving that poison but also feeling a little sympathetic towards the pain and worries they put their mothers through. Above it all, the beat and song reminds me of being over sea’s in the Bahama’s smoking a Cuban yelling out Momma I made It. Momma I’m So Sorry is also a braggadocios song about being on top in the Dope Game.
3. Mr. Me Too Feat. Pharrell- Pharrell has started the song off right and with Pusha T dissing Cash Money Records in their subliminals and mocking them in the music video, This was looked as a club song but there were disses surfacing in this track.
4. Wamp Wamp (What It Do) Feat. Slim Thug- The street anthem that connects the Star Trak record label’s two hardest artist, Clipse & Slim Thug. The beat they flowed over is a grimey Neptunes beat that makes both verses from each brother sound haunting and brings the chills to your spine when you hear it.
5. Riding Around Shining- I can picture Dope Boy’s in 2006 playing this track on repeat. This song is a track that you should ride to on repeat and think about flossing on the scene as you cruise. Re-Up Gang Records has came onto the track and destroyed this beat.
6. Dirty Money- This song reminds me of a Mase inspired song that makes you think about spoiling your girl while she looking bad and boujee. Since Mase went back to sinning in 2005–06, I think he should of dropped a remix verse on this.
7. Hello New World- The new world is filled with hustler’s, ballers, & money makers all across the world. Pusha T spitting pain on here about the past life dealing drugs while No Malice rebuttal’s of it and makes it a complete song.
8. Keys Open Doors- This is the best track of this CD because of how it drops and the energy it drops. This song been played on repeat multiple times on my radio, especially when I woke up in the morning to start off my day. Pusha told y’all in 2006, You hear the “YECK” in any music, it is him.
9. Ain’t Cha Feat Re-Up Gang- The Re-Up Gang has tackled on this beat like the NWO beating up on Sting in WCW. It is rare that you see groups come off each other’s mind’s to create a song. Re-Up Gang has proved to hold their own in 2006 and remained one of the most underrated groups in underground Hip Hop.
10. Trill- If I were 21 at the time, when this song came out, I would went out to them crazy clubs where people party hard with the bright lights flashing and college kids fist pumping, I pay the DJ $20 to play this song. The beat is a great techno, space age, experimental single that could shake the club. The song also makes the term “Trill” sound classy.
11. Chinese New Year- Pusha T hook on this is nice!!! I felt this song should be used in the next karate flick that comes into America because I can picture fight scenes and this song does create fights in the club with the hard pounding synthesizer get played with aggressive hi-hat’s and drums.
12. Nightmares feat. Bilal & Pharrell- The ending track with Bilal singing with soul on this harmonious instrumental. Nightmares also talks about the scares and nightmares that No Malice & Pusha T have monarched their name into the Coke Rap hall of fame if they had one. Outside of the luxurious rhymes that come with Coke Rap’s, they are also talking about the dangers and consequences of being involved such activity. This to me was the 2006 “Mind Playin Tricks” for those who know this song.

Overall

The 12 track album is a soundtrack to those who want to come up quick. If not that, this whole LP is the soundtrack of 2006 and reminds those of how Coke Rap had took over. If you were around in 2006 and heard this classic, you probably felt that this is a monumental album because of how well it was put together. Clipse has made a mark in the rap game before this album and when Hell Hath No Fury dropped in 2006, this is a album people can look up 20 years from now and study how to create substance in their craft. Great music for all inspiring musicians.
