The album received strong reviews from both mainstream and rap publications, who praised both the inventiveness of Clipse's lyrics and the exotic elements of The Neptunes' production. The album was ranked first on Prefix Magazine's list of the best albums of 2006,^[3] number nine on Blender Magazine's list of the 50 best albums of 2006,^[4] and number seven on Pitchfork Media's list; the song "Trill" was ranked at number six on Pitchfork's list of the top 100 songs of 2006. The album was the sixth in the history of XXL Magazine to receive an "XXL" rating. The Sunday Times, which ranked it fourth on the list of the best pop/rock records of 2007, called it a "claustrophobically edgy account of drug-dealing and paranoia, whipped up by the Neptunes into a storm of sonic inventiveness no other hip-hop release in 2007 came close to matching."^[5]

Hell Hath No Fury is the oft-delayed second album from the Virginia hip hop duo Clipse, released on November 28, 2006. Like the group's debut album, Hell Hath No Fury is produced solely by The Neptunes. The album's guest appearances are limited to members of the Star Trak roster and Clipse's own Re-Up Gang. The album spawned two singles: "Mr. Me Too" (featuring Pharrell Williams) and "Wamp Wamp (What It Do)" (featuring Slim Thug).

The material on Hell Hath No Fury is of a much darker tone than Clipse's debut album, due to the group's problematic relationship with Jive Records. From an interview with AllHipHop.com, in July 2006:

Clipse originally began recording material for Hell Hath No Fury in late 2003. However, further work on the album was halted in 2004, when Arista Records—their label at the time—was dissolved into its sister label Jive Records, as part of a larger merger between Sony Music Entertainment and BMG. Because of contractual issues, the group was forced to stay with Jive. While Clipse resumed work on the album, its release was delayed by Jive throughout the rest of 2004 and much of 2005. Additional delays resulted when Clipse sued Jive after the label refused to grant the group a release from its contract. These legal issues would not be resolved until May 2006.^[2] Further delays pushed the August 29 release date to October 31 and then November 28.
