Clipse Working On Next Album Instead Of Selling Crack

i wish the clipse would shut up and bring some type of solution to the table.
multiple albums about sellin crack in weak ass virginia is not helping.

the bad thing is, the clipse are actually ok. first cd was better but they still arent at an elite level. they jus ok.

i wouldnt go as far as saying va is weak. alot of music artists and producers came from va. look at the producers who is hot in the game right now…timbaland is def back on top, he is evolving the sounds, neptunes are still hot, trey songz is coming back out with another album, and it goes on. atleast va is keeping it real in the music industry and trying to keep it alive. and to say clipse keep having multiple albums, they only had two. alot of artists out now are rapping all about crack, and its not even good. clipse metaphors are good and they actually paint a picture and they take it to a whole nother level. but id have to disagree with you on saying va is weak.

im talking bout the landscape ala crime.
va has some strong artists.
but in clipse case, they setting for their “raps” doesnt hold up to their lyrics.

they rappin about crime in va, i lived in va for 2 years.
in hampton, below richmond and by norfolk and newport news (bad news).

everywhere has a hood but once i actually saw these hoods they rapped about, and watched the local news from their city, the clipse gangsta crime lyrics didnt appeal to me anymore.

it didnt change how they rapped, but how i perceived it changed.
i couldnt respect it anymore, cause those hoods would be like a regular city neighborhoods here in baltimore.

maybe since im from dirty ass baltimore i gotta different perspective on crime lol.

but thats jus my opinion on them
nothing against the guys.

nah its cool. i understand where you coming from, everyone has they own opinion, and i respect that. i lived in norfolk/va beach like all my life(moved to manhattan this past year), and i really respect and appreciate them as music artist. to me they are really underrated.

What I don’t get is y Jive is still holding on to dese niggas. Dat Hell Hath No Fury didn’t even do major numbers so whats da attraction? Don’t get me wrong da Clipse is in my top 5 and I believe dey just need some sort of different situation to get dey proper set off.

actually they was going to let them go,but they came into an agreement. they can have they own label,re-up gang,and some other stipulations.neptunes respected they decision,but said because of this they will not work with anyone on jive,preferably they big name stars (ie justin timberlake)

VA IS A COMMON WEALTYH STATE, AINT NOTHING GANGSTA ABOUT THAT!!!

Virginia, The Commonwealth state, is a very gangsta state. If you didnt know it is a “right to work” state meaning they can fire anyone at any point in time without a reason, and deny you unemployment. Last time I checked that shit is gangsta.

@ T Baby

I have to agree with T Baby on a few things, we dont have a crack epidemic down here, Baltimore is far worse but that has nothing to do with whether a nigga will beat your ass or not; all those other states can be all cracked out and shit that dont make cats hard T Baby if you want to see the real hoods in VA you need to go through P-Town; Norfolk and Bad News got places you don’t want to be caught up in after 3 pm and the Beach has one very troublesome area (thats right next to Norfolk) but the Clipse arent from that part. As far as their skillz, I think their above average so I support them

The Clipse is hot rappers and they are truly dedicated to the game no matter whether they choose to rap about crack they talk the truth they kno reality and they speak real life~Clipse is nice
