Lord Willin'

Lord Willin' is the major label debut and second studio album by the American hip hop duo Clipse.

The Neptunes would go on to handle the production on Lord Willin', with Pharrell Williams featuring on 6 different tracks, including the hit singles "Grindin'" and "When the Last Time".

Additional features include Ab Liva, Roscoe P. Goldchain, Faith Evans, Fabolous, Jadakiss and Styles P. The deluxe edition of the album contained 2 more tracks which were remixes of "Grindin'".

With help from Williams' production duo The Neptunes, Clipse began recording material for their debut studio album Exclusive Audio Footage.

They released their first single "The Funeral", which helped gain fan interest but failed to make a significant commercial or chart impact.

"Ma, I Don't Love Her" was released on December 3, 2002 and was a modest hit, peaking at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

[22] Raymond Fiore of Entertainment Weekly stated "On Lord Willin’, brothers Malice and Pusha T seize the moment with hustlers’ tales culled from Virginia's mean streets, a raw complement to the music's artsy, unrepentant grime.

"[23] Los Angeles Times gave the album a 3 star out of 4 rating, stating that "The results are blissful, as the body-rocking, futuristic beats mesh magically with the clever, straightforward rapping of the two MCs, who inject sly humor and hard-core boasting into nearly every lyric."
