June Vinyl Challenge: An artist you hope to see live one day

This is high art. Lord Willin’ is one of those albums that quietly changed the sound of mainstream hip-hop. Released in 2002, it was the debut studio album from Clipse— Pusha T and No Malice (then known as Malice)—and it’s inseparable from the production of The Neptunes.

What makes it special isn’t just that it’s a “coke rap” album. Plenty of artists have rapped about drug dealing. Clipse approached it with a level of detail, wit, and internal rhyme that made the writing feel almost literary. Pusha especially had an uncanny ability to make product measurements, luxury goods, and street economics. This is the emerald green translucent variant from VMP.
