[edit] Overview

Exclusive Audio Footage was meant to be the debut album of the Clipse, after they signed with Elektra Records. The album's first and only single was "The Funeral". Due to poor promotion from the label, it failed to catch on in any meaningful way despite the substantial buzz it generated with fans, and was quickly deemed a commercial failure. Elektra then decided to indefinitely shelve the album. The Clipse were released from their record contract not long afterward.

While the album has been shelved, most—if not all—of Exclusive Audio Footage has been leaked onto the Internet, and can be found quite easily. The Clipse often make it a point to mention this in interviews, if asked about the album and if it will ever see an official release.^[1]
