Hell Hath No Fury The Clipse Zip
With the long-delayed, viciously imagined Hell Hath No Fury, Clipse- hip-hop's meanest, smartest duo- have done what a gathering collection of internet seekers, record-store goers, and street corner mixtape shoppers hoped they might: release a classic. With musical partners the Neptunes, Clipse have crafted 12 unrelenting tales of desperation and distribution, glamour and gloating. Lyrically, the album is spare and incisive- wordplay abounds but the punches are quick and devastating- and musically, Malice and Pusha T have arguably snatched the best dozen Neptunes tracks in years. Together, the quartet has crafted an album that's sonically deep, dark, and one of 2006's finest.An unforgivable mean streak powers this album, which is no surprise considering the endlessly documented label drama Clipse have endured, and the ascetic rage that courses through their music. Push and Mal spent much of their lauded 2005 mixtape, We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 2, elucidating both their ethical and financial dealings: They were cold-blooded, joyous, and morally complex all at once. But the subject matter remained mostly street talk- deals, slang, stunting- with dabs of glitz tossed in.
This album isn't about cocaine per se; it's the aftershock of a coke sale-infused existence. The results spray everywhere, from the vacant spending spree of 'Dirty Money' to the terrifyingly earned braggadocio of 'Trill'. This is lifestyle assertion, not something as negligible and confined as drug music.The two men in the middle of it all are brilliant at nearly every turn. The younger Thornton brother, Pusha, remains star and stylist, brazenly dishing on minor details like his sunglasses ('Louis V Millionaires to kill the glare') while injecting a malevolent, almost maniacal intensity to his verses.
His elder brother, Malice, is the vulnerable antecedent, not without floss but more leaning on family and fraternity: 'Grandma, look at me, I'm turnin' the other cheek,' he laments on 'We Got It For Cheap (Intro)'. Their rhyme patterns aren't overwhelmingly technical; Pusha rhymes straightforward syllables without tangling his syntax into a jumbled hush-mutter.
(Jay-Z, take note: Sometimes directness is a blessing.)And, as if the sniping slow burn of lead single 'Mr. Me Too' wasn't enough notice, Clipse are self-contained entities, seemingly uninfluenced by their contemporaries. Occasionally they recall duos of the past- EPMD's playfulness, Outkast's willingness to attempt the unconventional, Mobb Deep's unerring rancor- but they're true only to their sound, a simmering executioner's song. Rarely explicitly violent, their blistering conviction feels like carnage on 'What It Do (Wamp Wamp)'- Malice even compares himself to the genocidal Hutu tribe on the track. It confirms their unjustifiable relishing of moral decay, and while it's impossible to comprehend or condone, the energy and flair is undeniable.All that said, the Neptunes' mystifying, irregular sonics further elevate the record. When the drum sounds are light and chimey, the surrounding melodies sound sinister and serpentine.
Otherwise that formula is completely flipped, as doorknocker snares often accompany spacious arrangements. It's an interesting juxtaposition- fitting the furious and odd against bubbly and blissful- but this is what the Neptunes have always done best (think Noreaga's 'Superthug' or Kelis' 'Milkshake').
Accordions, steel pan drums, harps, distorted synths, cowbell- Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo throw everything at Clipse. (One assumes Hugo, whose work has leaned toward the dark and spare in the past, had a large hand in this album.) 'Trill' and 'Ride Around Shining' in particular are monstrous, freakishly beautiful constructions. 'Trill' surrounds you with its blown-out bass sound while the tense harp plucks of 'Ride', posed against clipped groans and a single straining high note, are both fractured and gorgeous.But what's perhaps most important here is that Hell Hath No Fury is uncompromising music: Delayed more than three years and pushed into some unclear anticipation vortex, Clipse still refused to make concessions. The one ballad, 'Nightmares', featuring Bilal, is long and morose and ragged, while the frothiest ditty is about spending drug money on expensive shoes. Clipse make street music, so the more unlikely members of their fanbase- hipsters, bloggers, students- might seem perplexing. Of course, their wit and verve, always touched by a hint of self-loathing, connects with most anyone who's done any wrong in their life.

Living with yourself can be a tricky thing, and for Clipse, that's now truer than ever.
Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned: True Stories of Women Who Kill by Wensley ClarksonThe characters and backgrounds of the women in this book are as diverse as they are deadly, and their crimes are every bit as gruesome as those carried out by their male counterparts. But what drives a woman to kill? Is there a common theme? Is it desperation, as in the case of the beautiful Diana Perry who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband before taking matters into her own hands?
Or could it be pure evil, as in the case of Bobby, a woman whose interest in blood led her to lead a sect of like-minded women into one of the most horrific seduction killings ever seen? This book looks at the gripping tales of women who kill. Two men tell sometimes nasty or over the top stories to each other about wronged women who went for revenge. The stories are about a man whose latest one night stand may be his last, a girl who may or may not have murdered her brother, a strange suicide investigation, a man who goes back in time to warn himself not to cheat on his girlfriend, and a nurse who takes gruesome revenge on her attacker. But whereas the predecessors give us wraparound tales featuring Blondie preparing to cannibalize a Lawrence kid, or a boy ordering a voodoo doll to torture his mean father, Hell Hath No Fury gives us an awkward and forced conversation in a coffee shop between a guy waiting for his mean girlfriend and a cowboy. All together, the movie fits seven short stories by four different directors into its one hundred thirteen minute running time. The first couple are very short and are introduced amidst other foretelling shots before the wraparound story officially begins.The long-suffering Pusha and Malice finally issue their troublesome sophomore album- a record packed with a dozen unrelenting tales of desperation and distribution, glamour and gloating that features bleak, spare Neptunes beats.

Production was handled by The Neptunes. Following the release of their debut studio album, Lord Willin', The Clipse began working on the album in late, but were forced to delay development when several artists signed to Arista were dissolved into sister label Jive, as part of a larger merger between Sony and BMG. This resulted in Star Trak moving to Interscope, signing a new distribution deal.
