The Clipse is an American hip hop duo. Formed in Virginia in 1992, the group
is made up of brothers Gene "Malice" Thornton and Terrence "Pusha T"
Thornton.
The Clipse met record producer Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes during the
early part of the 1990s, and Williams helped them secure a deal through
Elektra Records. The group's debut single flopped, and Williams resuscitated
their careers in the early 2000s, signing them to Arista Records through his
Star Trak imprint. Star Trak/Arista released The Clipse's debut album, Lord
Willin', on August 20, 2002; the album includes their top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop
single "Grindin'".

Hailing from Virginia, the duo known as Clipse were actually one of the rare
first artists to work with the Neptunes. Meeting Pharrell Williams in the
early '90s, he was very impressed by their talents and decided to help them
get a gig. Hooking them up with East/West Records, an early single flopped
and the group seemed done with. Williams was not discouraged, and continued
to hype the group until Star Trak/Arista picked up the group in 2001. The
Neptunes stepped behind the boards and the end result was Lord Willin',
their 2002 full-length debut. |
