Clipse At The Pyramid Cabaret Winnipeg March 5 2010

February 4, 2010, Posted by Admin at 6:43 PM

Here’s a huge announcement for Winnipeg’s Hip Hop community. Clipse is an extremely talented rap duo that has collaborated with the biggest in the game and being on the top of the charts multiple times. I personally think both Pusha T and Malice have incredible flow and despite how much success they have had, I do believe they are two of the most underestimated rappers ever. Check out the videos below and I am sure you will agree.

As proven many times before The Pyramid Cabaret is an awesome venue for a smaller hip hop show like this one. In late 2009 Swollen Members put on an incredible show at the same venue (tons of crowd surfing, stage diving and freestyling) and Raekwon of The Wu Tang Clan is set to do the same thing next week. One of Winnipeg’s biggest DJ’s, DJ Co-op, will be opening the show along with a couple other local hosts and DJ’s who I am not familiar with.

This show will sell out no question. Make sure to grab your tickets as soon as possible from The Urban Bakery or Urban Boutique. Ticket prices are extremely reasonable which confirms to me once again that we are incredibly spoiled in Winnipeg with the level of talent we get to see for the price we pay and size of our city.

Hailing from Virginia, Clipse — brothers Pusha T and Malice — were one of the first artists to associate with the Neptunes. The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams first met the duo in the early ’90s, was very impressed by their talents. Williams and partner Chad Hugo stepped behind the boards and produced Lord Willin’, Clipse’s 2002 full-length debut, released through Star Trak/Arista. On the strength of “Grindin’,” the album hit the Top Ten of the R&B/Hip-Hop and Billboard 200 charts and eventually went gold. The Sony-BMG merger threw the follow-up into limbo and sparked a long bout of legal snags between Clipse and their new parent label, Jive. While the delay was going on, Clipse issued a series of mixtapes and set up their Re-Up label. The label disputes were eventually cleared up, and Hell Hath No Fury — a lean, mean album, featuring the Neptunes and the MC’ing duo at the top of their game — was finally released on November 28, 2006. Almost unanimously hailed by critics, it also reached number 14 on the Billboard 200. Clipse later signed with Columbia for Til the Casket Drops which just released in November 2009. The album’s list of collaborators included the Neptunes, Rick Rubin, the Hitmen, Kanye West, Cam’ron and Keri Hilson. Combining an even mix of maturity and playfulness, the Clipse’s future remains as prosperous as ever. With Til the Casket Drops serving as a return to grace, there’s proof positive that Pusha T and Malice still have much to live for.
