Reunion of The Clipse Ignited by Pharrell Williams' Spark
## Pharrell Williams' Impact on Clipse's Let God Sort Em Out
In 2006, Pharrell Williams demonstrated his versatile production skills with the release of Clipse's album, Let God Sort Em Out. Despite being produced at the Louis Vuitton offices where Williams was working as the Men's Creative Director, the album was imbued with a style reminiscent of Skateboard P, his signature sound that blends hip-hop, rock, and electronic elements.
The album, which features Malice, a member of the Clipse, essentially returning from a decade-plus sabbatical, is a three-way family affair and reunion for the group, with Pharrell as a key participant. Malice's lyrics on the new album, such as "n-ggas chains look like oppression to me," are particularly powerful and impactful.
Pharrell's music production on Let God Sort Em Out is exceptional, delivering some of his best hip-hop beats in years. One of Pusha's most underrated boasts in the new music is on "P.O.V.," where he flexes his longevity in rapping. The album sounds like it was made at Hovercraft Studios in Virginia Beach, despite being produced at Louis Vuitton offices, a testament to Pharrell's ability to maintain his unique sound despite the change in location.
Pharrell's presence on Let God Sort Em Out is significant as he is the chief architect of all three original Clipse studio albums. In a recent interview, Pharrell described himself as an "auditory Mario Puzo," indicating his high level of confidence in his music production. The real win for Pharrell in producing Let God Sort Em Out was that it sounds like the return of Skateboard P.
