CLPPNG is the debut studio album by American hip hop group clipping. It was released on June 10, 2014, through Sub Pop as the follow-up to their debut mixtape Midcity.[1] The album has guest appearances from Gangsta Boo, King T, Cocc Pistol Cree, Guce, Mariel Jacoda and Tom Erbe.
Composition
Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! writes that the album sees the group continue their combination of musique concrète and gangsta rap, while deeming it more accessible than their earlier work.[14] Fred Thomas of AllMusic deems it a harsh album that fuses "noise frequencies, brutally dark beats, and MC Daveed Diggs' unhinged, often ugly lyrical flow."[15] "Intro" features rapping over a beatless backdrop of feedback reminiscent of Merzbow.[15] "Dream" features a "ringing bell, white noise and tape hiss",[14] while the next track "Get Up" is built solely around the sound of an alarm clock.[14][15] The album also features a performance of John Cage's Williams Mix (1951–1953), recorded with Tom Erbe.[14]
