Their actual debut was in 1998/1999 with a couple of singles on East West ("Got Caught Dealin'", "The Funeral"), but their scheduled album Exclusive Audio Footage was shelved. I think I still remember articles and ads in The Source. Anyway, fast-forward a few years, and they're back with a vengeance. Still affiliated with the Neptunes, they finally drop "Grindin'", which leads to the release of Lord Willin'. Great single, great album. youtube.com/watch?v=JQ6SYuEWOTsPeaks: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: 10 Hot Rap Tracks: 8 Rhythmic Top 40: 37 Hot 100: 30 |

Classic! This one perfectly illustrates how much there is to percussion and what percussion is all about. It's inventive, creative, playful and full of attitude. A perfect example of just how good Clipse/Neptunes/hiphop in general can be.
Also, it stands out among the urban radio class of '02 compared to less than stellar material from the likes of Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Ashanti, Eminem and so on (but that's a very isolated opinion I guess).

The beat is ridiculous. Classic hip hop jam.

I forgot about this one. It's a good jam.

As already stated, this is an indisputable classic. Maybe the greatest Neptunes beat ever?

Amazing beat. Love Pharrell's work and Pusha and Malice did a good job too.
