As the first group to be released on the Neptunes' Star Trak imprint, Virginia-based rhyme duo and brothers Malice and Pusha T have at their disposal the most clever producers in music today. And they literally exhaust this fine privilege. There are so many legitimate danceable club hits on their debut that you're pretty much forced to ignore the CD's lyrical shortcomings. The album blasts off with "Grindin'," the street-buzz single of the 2002 summer, with its heavy, old-school Run DMC-style drum claps. Similarly, "I'm Not You" flaunts an infectious calypso-pan loop, which makes you pay no heed to the dozens of street-drug verses. The hedonism continues on "Let's Talk About It," with the braggadocio of Jermaine Dupri, and the catchy, hook-driven "Young Boy." Overall, the beats are ridiculously good, but the emcees are quite average. Sorry, no instrumental version available at this time. --Dalton HigginsCustomer Reviews:

"Lord Willin'" - Neptunes Please, The Clipse Disappoint, Pharrell's Omnipresent & Guests Are Heavy.......2006-12-25
If there's anything that makes "Lord Willin'" stand out from other average Hip-Hop albums, it's The Neptunes, who produce the album in its entirety. The beats are harder and far more thrilling and invigorating than the majority of their more recent efforts, especially on the minimalist-beat-driven hustler's anthem "Grindin'" & "Young Boy", a lyrically reflective club jam driven by Pharrell William's lively hook and bombastic Funk-inflected horns strangely -if not ironically- reminiscent of Beyonce's R&B/Funk club jam "Work It Out", another Neptunes concoction.
Unfortunately, one of the album's problems lies with Clipse themselves. There's no denying the fact that the two are strong rappers -their vocal delivery is cold, harsh, strong, fearless and emotionless- but it's hard to tell Malice & Pusha T apart due to their similar flows and vocals. That doesn't mean that they can't write good lyrics - songs like the aforementioned "Grindin'", the gloomy, anthemic "Virginia" and the straightforward album standout "Cot Damn" (feat. Pharrell Williams as hook singer and everyone else -Ab-Liva & Roscoe P Coldchain- as rappers) prove otherwise, while many of the other album's tracks display their knack for clever and inventive wordplay.
It is at this point, however, that we realise the album's second fundamental flaw - its lack of substance. Songs like the admittedly addictive "When The Last Time" -featuring Pharrell Williams as hook rapper & Kelis as severely underused R&B songstress, who is restricted to a simple vocal refrain on the song's bridge over The Neptunes' heavy synths and faint guitar loop- & the self-explanatory "Ego" resort to the ways of misogyny, commercialism and materialism that has rapidly deteriorated modern-day Hip-Hop, while other songs like "Ma, I Don't Love Her" (feat. another underutilised R&B singer, Faith Evans) & "Gangsta Lean" (feat. Pharrell as -you guessed it!- hook singer) are virtually devoid of true emotion or sentiment.
The final problem I have with this album is the excess guest appearances. Not only do Clipse lack emotion or passion in their delivery, but they also lack any form of personality or individuality that could've otherwise separated them apart from not only each other, but the album's other truckload of guest artists. Whether or not Pharrell Williams is credited as an official guest artist is of little concern, since he drops a lively contribution (mainly a hook) on almost all of the tracks on the album. While that may be good for the memorability factor or the quality of the actual tracks, it also highlights the Clipse's inability to consistently craft solid, infectious hooks. Other guests include all of the aforementioned artists (Ab-Liva, Roscoe P Coldchain, Kelis, Pharrell Williams, Faith Evans), Famlay ("Famlay Freestyle"), Fabolous ("Comedy Central", where is style is easily more recognizable), Jermaine Dupri ("Lets Talk About It") and Jadakiss & Styles P of the Lox ("I'm Not You"). The two remixes of "Grindin'" also feature NO.R.E., Baby & Lil' Wayne on the first remix, while Sean Paul, Kardinal Offishall & Bless appear on the latter.
As a whole, this is a solid debut, but is too flawed to be deemed a classic. The Clipse should consider themselves lucky to have The Neptunes on their side because they, along with Kelis, tend to bring the best out of the production duo. 3 stars!

1 Day, 2 YOUNG BOYS named Pusha T & Malice, who lived in VIRGINA, happened to start GRINDIN'. 1 Day, Pusha cheated on his COT D**N girl, when she asked "what happened?", he said MA, I DON'T LOVE HER! After cutting a FAMLAY FREESTYLE, pusha asked malice, WHEN THE LAST TIME you heard a song like this? malice thought pusha was EGO trippin' and needed to watch COMEDY CENTRAL to learn better material. after entering rehab, the nureses told pusha LET'S TALK ABOUT IT, u know, ur GANGSTA LEAN. well, pusha said, I'M NOT U!
