Will the new Clipse album flop ( sales wise ) ?

I think that the 4 years gap since their first release, is too long a layoff for them to be relevant to this current crop of rap music buyers.whats your thoughts?

    unless they release another single that actually gets play before it drops, it will not do well

    With the phrase "slept-on classic."

    did the first album do well? maybe off the strength of "grindin." but "mr me too" is hot as is "wamp wamp...." besides, sales wise, most good albums flippety flop.

    Rather well, I would think--fanboys like it when a favorite artist can remain their little secret.

    "wamp wamp...."

    Isn't that Fiend's catch phrase? did he give them permission to use it.

    Clipse's "wamp wamp" is pronounced with a hard "a". rhymes with ramp. Fiend's is more of a "womp".

    still kinda suspect.

    Didn't Fiend pronounce it "whomp-whomp" instead of with a short A sound?

    Totally different. Fiend song is great, though.

    How clever of you to point out the existence of a thread that AI is currently posting in to him.
    Do you have a answer to my question? if not move along.

    I'm gonna take a wild guess
    is it the one throwing up the gang signs?

    Probably my eyesight is bad but it looks to me like only one of them is throwing up gang signs.
    Yet still i've haven't got any confirmation on my guess thus far .

    hows this a crap thread? I think its an interesting question.

    Yeah so do I. I thought that maybe Magnetic's general admitted dislike of Clipse might taint the question though. At least that's how I read it, promting me to call it a "crap thread." Pardon me Mag, if it's really not a loaded question though. My bad if I got that one wrong.

    And honestly I don't know anything about the situation so I don't even know if they have a record coming out soon or not. When is the release date? What label are they on? Is "Wamp Wamp" the official single? I didn't think it was that good, nor did I think the same about "Mr. Me Too" (which I actually heard IN ROTATION[/b] on Hot 97 the other day, Sunday afternoon.

    But yeah, unless they come out with a really hot banger right now it probably will brick.

    But other than that there's still a lot a crap threads today. At least DOR's 90s R&B thread has got me open on some throwback shit.

    I get them confused all the time. They're both really good but out of the two. I'm usually thinking that Malice is the better one most of the time, but when Push kills it he REALLY KILLS.

    I heard them say on mtv sometime in October.


    What label are they on?

    Re-Up Gang Records/Star Trak/Zomba.

    The first album had like 3-4 really huge singles... it went plat at least once?

    Mr Me Too seemed to be growing for a while, I was never that into it... Wamp Wamp is my shit but I'm not sure if they're even gonna get to put it out

    But yeah, in this day and age NOBODY is selling unless you're talking TI or Kanye so total media saturation seems to be the only way

    magnetic- you dis the Clipse and you dis yourself

    All of Magnetic's opinions on rap should be taken with a grain of salt--he recently proclaimed Ray Cash's album to be better than T.I.'s and is known to jock even the lowliest of G-Unit weed carriers. And he doesn't like Jay-Z.







    I know deej is about to get at me for my "tyrannical conformity" here.

    As long as the Clipse album is as at least as good as We Got it 4 Cheap 2, I will be happy.
