Clipse - Doorman
Artist: Clipse
Producer: The Neptunes
Album: TIll the Casket Drops
Label: Re-Up/Columbia
First I’m Good, then Popular Demand (Popeyes) and now Doorman. I’m beginning to think the Clipse’s new swagger-esque sound is more than just a trend, it may just be the dominant sound of their new album. The latest leak of their highly anticipated, even more highly delayed album Till the Casket Drops, the centerpiece of Doorman is really the Neptunes’ electronically dense production, a beat that stutters across the track with a strange but dope combination of hard-laced horns and Spanish style horns. Lyrically Pusha T and Malice take a more South Beach approach to their lyrics, largely trading in their trademark criminally minded flow for some more diamonds and cash oriented verses (don’t worry, there’s still plenty of coke talk). There’s nothing to complain about here, I’m just not sure I like their new approach as much as their harder old school material. Will Till the Casket Drops deliver hardcore Clipse fans the grit they demand? We’ll have to wait until the album drops on December 8. Let the countdown begin.

I do prefer the older, grittier Clipse sound, but this is worth a few spins. The production is really the main course and focus here, but Malice still gives the track a bit of grit. It isn't my favorite side of the Clipse, but it is still in rotation.

Not a bad song but not that good. Song was kind of repetative and not that exciting. Clipse isn't that bad though, I like most of his songs but this song doesn't really pop out

I think this is DOPE! I mean yea, its not their usual style...but nevertheless this IS legit. The lyrics still came hard and the The Neptunes hold you the entire time and MAKE you listen (at least they had me in check). I like how the CD is coming together so far.

As you can tell from the intro, I'm king of torn on this one. As mmcoolman2000 said, Hell Hath No Fury is a classic album, that's the Clipse I know and love, and that's not the Clipse we get here. Still, I'm loving the production on this, and Pusha and Malice do kill the mic here, though not in their usual style. Honestly it's gonna take listening to the whole album for me to make up my mind.

As a song, this one goes hard. Hard as me in a strip club. Let go of the past, embrace the new. That clipse you like so much sold 12 albums, even your favorite rappers gotta eat.

damnn im not really feelin this new ish from the brothers thorton...it jus seems like the dark side of im good.. Is it jus me or did clipse lose its luster after malice made those vids about how modest their lives were. It just made me feel that the image they conveyed was fake...oh and to homie mmcoolman2000...hell hath fury was the sophmore album...lord willin' was the first 1..

Got to agree with Z on this. Beat hits hard right off the bat. Don't get me wrong this is not a bad song. But! Pusha can go so much harder(Ex. Everybody nose remix). A little disappointed but can't hate to much, its in my rotation.

What's up with Neptunes' obsession with vibrating Mariachi trumpets/horns lately??? They all starting to sound the same.
Not their best lyrical joint ever but the knocking bassline should give your speakers a good workout. I'm scared that this one will disappoint, but I'm still looking forward to it. |

Sounded like FAMU stormed into the recording booth. Props to The Neptunes for that beat.
I couldn't really find any flaws with The Clipse's new sound, except for the fact that it was unable to capture my attention or at least pull it back from that beat. |

Peraps i have unrealistic expectations for clipse, but given the beat, this is a major dissapointment.

Damn Nathan...once again, I am right there with you. I like Clipse's old approach better than their new one. They are super talented but this track doesn't show me their capabilities. This is just OK to me. I won't put it into rotation because I won't ever listen to it again.
