Though Virginia's most well known hip-hop exports may have been Timbaland and Missy Elliot, the release of Clipse's debut album introduces a pair of new players to that hegemony. In fact, brothers Gene and Terrence Thornton (Malice and Pusha T, respectively) were born in that cradle of hip-hop the Bronx, but they spent their formative years on the streets of Virginia. LORD WILLIN' is the duo's second try at a debut album, as their previous effort for another label was indefinitely shelved. Turns out it was worth the wait. Produced by none other than the super-hot Neptunes, every track here pulsates with a crisp, funky energy that fully matches the sharply honed rhymes of the Thornton brothers, most spectacularly of all on the autobiographical "Young Boy," which is powered by one of the hardest-hitting grooves in recent memory.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...Their verses roll out with an infectious strut, but it's the Neptunes beats backing them up that elevate this to radio-hit heights...
Rolling Stone (09/05/2002)
...LORD WILLIN' is a funky juxtaposition of gritty haze slingin' tales....thankfully, Clipse pushes rhymes like it pushes weight...
CMJ (09/16/2002)
...The Clipse seize the moment with hustlers' tales culled from Virginia's mean streets, a raw compliment to the Neptune's artsy, unrepentant grime... - Rating: B+
