"Til The Casket Drops" sees the return of the Kings Of Coke Rap in The Clipse for their long-awaited third album. The Clipse claim that this album is "Hip-Hop on Steriods" aka every song will have you juiced and like always the Clipse don't disappoint. From the beginnning to the end, this album is filled with unbelievable next-level production along with realest street tales on how the life of drugs, money, girls, and material things can affects one's psyche. The album begins with "Freedom" which see The Clipse contemplate how the rap/crack game has affected their family and the mistakes they have as they ask for freedom. The very next track is the instant head-nodder in back by "Popular Demand" which everyone loves and Malice (bald-head one) kills the last verse with lines such as "Money and hoes, it’s deeper than that/Fight the temptation, but it keep comin’ back/Money stack to the ceiling just as quick as it dispense/
Who knew those commas meant you could lose your common sense?/Before it’s too late, all I can tell ‘em is repent." "Kinda Like A Big Deal", "I'm Good" and "Showing Out" are all huge ego boost songs that make you feel good about your day and living the life of stunting on people. Which leads us to "Door Man" which is another dope boy & baller anthem which should be played at very high volumes with the windows down especially come summer time. "Champion" which is an anthem for life to live by for success and is a song that will be on repeat for a very long time and Pusha T (the one with braids) spits money to blow lyrics such as "Hold up that rose', pourin half the bottle out/If you from where I'm from, you know where I'm flowin out/Overcame the odds, so we overdue them cars/We done balled around the world, now we reaching for the stars." As the album ends, "Footsteps" is the cautionary tale track where The Clipse tell you why following in their footsteps might not be the way to go because it's not as sweet as it looks as they beg all who hear it to listen before choosing the streets. Overall, this album is a slight departure from the normal punchline heavy Clipse you expect but their rhymes still give you food for thought and the features from suspect rhymers such as Camron & Yo Gotti are on point like wait a sec, did Cam & Gotti come off as tight, yes they did. The dynamic duo plan on doing this "Til The Casket Drops" which is another banger of an album added to The Clipse resume with superb production, tracks that can be soundtracks to your life, and great introspective lyrics from the best duo in rap....Clipse have another hit, Barry Bonds!!!
Overall: **** out of 5
