"Hell Hath No Fury" is the second album of Virginia hip hop duo Clipse, released on November 28, 2006. Like the group's debut album, "Hell Hath No Fury" is produced by The Neptunes. The guest appearances are limited to members of the Star Trak roster and Clipse's own Re-Up Gang. The album spawned two singles: "Mr. Me Too" (featuring Pharrell) and "Wamp Wamp (What It Do)" (featuring Slim Thug).

Overview

The material on "Hell Hath No Fury" is of a much darker tone than Clipse's debut album, due to the group's problematic relationship with Jive Records. From an interview with AllHipHop, in July 2006:

Clipse began recording the album in late 2003. Work on the album was halted in 2004, when Arista Records—their label at the time—was dissolved into its sister label Jive Records, as part of a larger merger between Sony Music Entertainment and BMG. Because of contractual issues, the group was forced to stay with Jive.

While Clipse resumed work on the album, its release was delayed by Jive throughout the rest of 2004 and much of 2005. Additional delays resulted when Clipse sued Jive after the label refused to grant the group a release from its contract. These legal issues would not be resolved until May 2006. [Lopez, Rodrigo (May 9, 2006). [http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2006/05/09/18131057.aspx Clipse Tour With Ice Cube; Album Release Date Set] . AllHipHop. Accessed June 9, 2008.] Further delays pushed the August 29 release date to October 31 and then November 28.

Reception

On Metacritic, the album received an aggregate score of 89/100 from twenty-nine reviews—indicating "universal acclaim". [ [http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/clipse/hellhathnofury Clipse: Hell Hath No Fury (2006): Reviews] . Metacritic. Accessed April 14, 2008.] Critics praised the inventiveness of Clipse's lyrics and the exotic elements of The Neptunes' production.

The album was ranked first on "Prefix" magazine's "Best Albums of 2006" [ [http://www.prefixmag.com/features/best-albums-of-2006/picks-10-to-1/12783 Best Albums of 2006: Picks 10 to 1] . "Prefix" magazine (December 13, 2006). Accessed June 9, 2008.] and number nine on "Blender" magazine's "The 50 Greatest CDs of 2006". [ [http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?ID=2372 The 50 Greatest CDs of 2006] . "Blender" magazine (January/February 2007). Accessed June 9, 2008.] Pitchfork Media ranked the song "Trill" at number six in "The Top 100 Tracks of 2006". [Dombal, Ryan (December 18, 2006). [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/40070-staff-list-the-top-100-tracks-of-2006/page_10 The Top 100 Tracks of 2006] . Pitchfork Media. Accessed June 9, 2008.] The album was the sixth in the history of "XXL" magazine to receive a "XXL" rating. "The Sunday Times", which ranked it fourth in its list of the best pop and rock records of 2007, called it a "claustrophobically edgy account of drug-dealing and paranoia, whipped up by The Neptunes into a storm of sonic inventiveness no other hip-hop release in 2007 came close to matching." [ [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article2961411.ece Records of the year] . "The Times" (December 2, 2007). Accessed June 9, 2008.]
