0:00.0	Hey there, if you're listening to this and you support us on Patreon week we have Valerie June performing live at the Goose Island Salt Shed Pub.
0:31.4	I'm Jim D. Regattis.
0:33.0	And I'm Greg Cott. But first, Jim and I will review the new album by hip-hop veterans Clips.
0:39.0	Sound Opinions is supported by Goose Island since 1988. Goose Island's been brewing beers in the
0:45.0	spirit of Chicago. You can find 312 weed ale, big juicy beer hug, and so many other limited
0:51.9	releases at either of Goose's locations in Chicago, Goose Island
0:56.6	Beer Company, Chicago's Beer.
0:59.2	How could you and me be ever seen as peers can't compare you just CC?
1:04.5	Don't you know these clears in my ears only VVs?

1:58.3	Farrell said, you guys could make a great hip-hop duo.
2:00.5	I'll help you get a record deal. He did, in fact, sign them to his label, produced three albums with the Neptunes, with Chad Hugo. And this is an important point. We're going to bring it up later. Farrell and Chad Hugo making those records when they were the hottest production team in the world, it seemed like, making hit record after hit record, working with Clips.
2:19.2	Clips did pretty well with the first record. Lord Will and went gold. The next two records were
2:24.5	probably even better in some ways. I think Hell Hath No Fury in 2006 is one of the great
2:29.8	hip-hop albums of the last quarter century until the casket drops in 2009, but not as commercially
