I used to be huge into the Neptunes. All while pumping out jams for Luda, Jay-Z, CNN, and Snoop, they brought their own artists like Slim Thug and The Clipse. When the first Clipse record came out i listened to it on repeat.

Due to issues with their label Jive, the next album Hell Hath No Fury, has been delayed for years. Now it’s coming out. I even got to meet the guys at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards and they talked about how excited they are to get the record out.

But that’s not what prompted me to post. Over at Stereogum, i caught this quote from the Clipse about their label:

“I hate Jive. I hate them motherfuckers. With all my heart and all the passion and my soul I hate these bitches. It’s about the lynching of every staff member up in this motherfucker. … You could ask anyone in here to give you a marketing plan on Clipse and they could never do it. It’s like damn, ‘What do you understand about hip-hop? You ain’t had nobody since Spice 1! You don’t know the fucking formula. Everybody in here’s like 50 years old! Just drop us. Leave us the fuck alone so we can go where there’s plenty of people like Clipse.”

oof!
