Clipse is an American hip-hop duo formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 1992, consisting of brothers Gene "No Malice" Thornton and Terrence "Pusha T" Thornton. They gained significant attention for their unique lyrical style and production, largely crafted by The Neptunes, with their major breakthrough album, *Lord Willin'*, in 2002. Known for their sharp wordplay and vivid narratives about street life, Clipse cultivated a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim over the years. After releasing a series of influential albums, the duo went on hiatus in 2010 to pursue individual projects, with Pusha T notably achieving solo success while No Malice focused on more spiritually conscious music. Despite their hiatus, the Clipse legacy continues to impact the hip-hop scene with their innovative approach to storytelling and production.
