Free Music Notes for Lord Willin

Free Music Review: They from Virginia, where aint [nothing] to do but cook!
Hit: 5 Stars

And to be honest, everyone here is talking about the beats but in actuality Clipse outshine the beats. The beats are not as great as many claim they are but they are still tight. The only problem I have is that some of the beats are too poppy for a group like Clipse such as Famlay Freestyle and Ego. However They can mesh well over a commercial Neptunes beat such as `Ma I Don't Love her". It's a classic mix of styles. Malice & Pusha T get all up in this track, and the chorus is butter for yo breakfast toast. And like other said, Faith Evans is good on the track but it sounds like something Kelis should have sung. The Intro, Young Boy and Cot Damn are all very well done songs and are where the Neptunes shine the most. They also shine on the previous hit "Let's Talk About It' which appeared on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Remix Album. Now that beat right there is phenomenal and it is also a great song. Clipse even get down with Jadakiss & Styles on one of the album's many standouts; I'm Not You. Virginia has the best beat on the whole album ( second to grindin ) and both Malice & Pusha T just rip rip rip rip this thang to shreds.

The album isn't all cookies and cream though. First off, Grindin appears three times. An original version and two remixes. The remixes pale in comparison to the original and should have been completely left off. Plus Malice and Pusha T sound alike. They must be brothers or cousins or something. But those are minor grievances in an excellent debut. A couple more albums and experience in the rap business along with polishing of style and subjects; Clipse could turn into one of the great groups to come through Hip hop. Recommended.
