Clones

Limited double 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. On The Neptunes Present... Clones (2003), Chad Hugo and Pharell Williams (aka The Neptunes) snare an all-star cast of featured players, and they ably demonstrate how their skills can adapt to any conceivable personality. The album features four singles; 'Frontin' by Pharrell featuring. Jay-Z, 'Light Your Ass On Fire' by Busta Rhymes, 'Hot Damn' by Clipse and 'It Blows My Mind' by Snoop Dogg. Williams steps out with some help from Jay-Z on 'Frontin', one of the biggest Neptunes-related singles. The funky 'Light Your Ass on Fire' features Busta Rhymes' more sexually aggressive and explicit come-ons. Amidst whirling sirens, Dirt McGirt's turn, 'Pop Shit' boasts a comical Looney Tunes-worthy arrangement. 'Popular Thug' originally a track on Kelis' 'Wanderland', gets a deserved new look, with Pusha T's role bumped in favor of Nas. The album debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 Chart, and ultimately sold over half a million copies in the US, certifying Gold in the process.
