Clipse - Champion

Review by Chrisa Hickey

Champion is the third studio album by American hip hop duo Clipse. Released in 2006, the album showcases the group's signature sound of hard-hitting beats and clever wordplay.

The album kicks off with the title track "We Got It for Cheap (Intro)," a high-energy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The production throughout the album is top-notch, with beats that are both intricate and catchy.

The standout tracks on the album include "Ride Around Shining," "Hello New World," and "Keys Open Doors." The lyrics on these tracks are clever and thought-provoking, with the duo's trademark flow and wordplay.

While the album is undeniably strong, there are a few missteps. The track "Chinese New Year" feels out of place with its off-kilter beat and lackluster lyrics. Additionally, the album's final track, "Nightmares," doesn't quite live up to the rest of the album's high standards.

Summary by Chrisa Hickey

Champion is a strong album from Clipse that showcases the duo's talents as both rappers and producers. While it's not without its flaws, the album is a must-listen for fans of classic hip hop.
