Staff Web Pick of the Week:
The Clipse’s Road to Til the Casket Drops mixtape
The last album the Clipse (pictured, right) recorded was infamously tied up in industry limbo for ages before finally hitting shelves in 2006. Fingers crossed, now: All signs suggest the duo’s follow-up LP, Til the Casket Drops, will arrive on schedule in 2009. In the meantime, the Thornton brothers are keeping rap fans happy with another brand-new mixtape, laced with the venomous poetry that’s kept them on top of critics’ lists for the better part of a decade.
