Hold Me High

When anyone in their right mind thinks about the best duo in the rap game, Clipse has to be near the top of the list. Pusha T and Malice have been blessing music fans with the hardest of rhymes for the better part of the last decade, and their upcoming album "Til the Casket Drops" (scheduled release October '09) has the hip hop world buzzing. Like many others, Clipse hit my radar in 2002 with their hit single "Grindin'" off the album "Lord Willin'," which became an instant classic. What many people might not know is that Clipse actually dropped their first album in 1999. Titled "Exclusive Audio Footage," it was never released. However, one song off that album did manage to make its way to the public. I used to see the video for this song on TV, but I never knew the history behind it. Anyway, the song is hot fire and the video is absurd and awesome, just like most of the shit Clipse drops. Til the Casket Drops in October, I leave you with "The Funeral." And if you haven't yet copped the mixtape Road to Til the Casket Drops which dropped last winter, I highly recommend checking that out too.
