Clipse album produced by Pharrell LET GOD SORT EM OUT Discussion thread JULY 11TH

[TheDarceKnight]

“…I was fine getting rich under their noses…”

Such a simple yet effective double entendre

they really kill the simple raps. Saying a lot with a little. shyt's super understated and dope

While I massively respect putting Birds Don't Sing as track 1, realistically I'm going to skip it most times if I play the album in order. It's a good song but I'd play it way more as a closer. Which is weird because Streets Raised Me by Mobb Deep is another personal track, and that's one of my favorite openers ever.

I also have never been a big John Legend fan. he just sounds kinda corny to me.

Verses on here are so crazy. I love every bar on here. The 2 weak parts for me are really that some of the production gets a bit redundant (Ace Trumpets and So Far Ahead in particular). And man, I may just be indoctrinated to the new school indie drug rap with no choruses, but I think some of the hooks on here are just not that great and not needed.

All Things Considered is so dope, but did we really need another The Dream hook after the Pharrell hooks? Just feels a bit overcooked in some places IMO.

I feel like I'm saying a lot of negative things, but IMO there's not as much to say about the positives because they're just so fire. I do think that there are more interesting discussion points around the negatives. No much is needed to say. Push and Malice knocked this out of the park. My favorite rapping I've heard all year, easy.

I feel you

Pusha stated the difference between working with Pharrell and Ye is that Ye will let him just rap, whereas P wants to make sure nothing sounds like a mixtape.

You can see that with P here, and it has it's good and bad. Every verse has it's own flow and cadence, clearly written to fit within a song, but as you said some of the hooks were unnecessary.

 

[Paper Boi]

it is not HHNF but it is running laps around their last album. this is a much better way to go out.

the songs i like aren't even the most popular ones on here. i think it might grow on me.

This is just gas lighting atp

No doubt. It's interesting to me that P wants to make sure nothing sounds like a mixtape, when ironically hooks and song structure have never seemed less important, at least in the drug dealing/street talk sub genre. I've gotten super used to literally no hooks or maybe just a phrase or something that gets repeated for a few bars. Or even just one long ass verse. Hearing actual song structure in this type of sub genre feels super weird in 2025.

Agreed. If this is the last one, it's a good last one.

I really hope I hear more from them in the future, both together and separately, and with other producers too.

Never trust a black man with a fukked up hairline and no mustache

Eating a damn tuna melt from Subway. Ridiculous.

 

[H.J.Duck]

Outside of "All Things Considered" hook, this album flows so well. Really makes you appreciate hip hop as an art form and a genre.

FICO, Kendrick & Tyler songs and So Far Ahead are the highlights to me. Imho Pharrell hooks were needed and added a certain balance.

POV beat is nasty. Grimy sound without sounding dated.

Album of the year contender.

 

[Nick Street]

Malice should drop a solo album produced by Chad Hugo

Why?

 

[904]

Pusha has probably had the least amount of producers he's worked with of any 20 year plus rapper

P
Ye
DJ Khalil
88 Keys

That's pretty much it on his albums solo and Clipse

He said he prefers the weirder, different pocket style of beats, I hope we get that Madlib album, or even an EP one day.

 

[Hersh]

Last two lines hit me too
Like
Damn
I disappointed him

same shyt I feel.. even when I read it.. Im sorry pop.

The Clue adlibs on the title track are just

Malice verse on F.I.C.O sounded like he needed to get some shyt off his chest.

One of his best verses is over a Madlib beat, so that would be awesome
