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

[Soymuscle Mike]

i'm gonna have to accept the consensus, but i think think that Pusha and Gene are pretty much equals lyrically

I don't think the difference is AS BIG as some make it out to be, but I do think Malice is a breath of fresh air which makes it seem like he's doing something completely different from Push - who's been consistently dropping over the last decade.

I also think they intentionally shined more of a light on Malice, he gets the closing verse on damn near all the songs.

They’re both equals, it’s just a frequently said narrative that there’s some big gap in skill when it’s not. Same as Big Boi and Dre, but at least with Clipse, both members actually have solo albums (even if Malice just has 1, that’s still more than 3K).

EDIT: apparently Malice has TWO solos

 

[M4T]

was thinking about this too

amongst all the 'Malice > Push' talk, I feel Push's hook game is taken for granted

Malice has some good hooks on his solo albums, hes more willing to use his vocal range than push . They should of gave him a few hooks on this album

Vinyl secured.

Does it have the original so be it?

These bruhs rapping

The grass is greener on each side
I done been both Mason Betha's
I done been at both intersections
I done pulled Ocean 11's
Even when the well ran dry
I done raised quotes in the desert
Tried to hide the dope in the message
Like we did the coke in the Lexus
Same hands I used to whip work
See me turn 'em both into blessings

 

[Curufinwe]

I didn't listen to Malice before. But my god is delivery is hard and clean.

Who's uses that flow pusha uses on P.O.V.? Been bugging me sounds like consequence/ye

 

[CrimsonTider]

Two parent household drug dealers
Phenomenal album though

Wait?

You really believe these nikkas were d boys?

Guru, Push originally wanted to scrap the song because he didn’t feel he nailed it. Malice had to fight to keep the song on the album which is crazy, because that song is so dope.

This was the conversation I was having about sales earlier.

I'm happy these dudes sold what they sold because it promotes this style of rap.

And you may see rollouts like this one come back. Labels will try mimic..

 

[HoldThisL]

I have not listened to a Hip Hop album this good since GNX. Most of the songs are 8-10/10

 

[Cladyclad]

amazing 1st week sales for them and they didn't rely on trickery like Travis does with his numbers.

They did exactly what travis do though lol

 

[African_brehda]

Remember when this leaked and some goofies were in here saying it’s trash?

 

[Pete Wrigley]

100k for a Clipse album in 2025 is insane.

It's been said so much but the rollout for this has been crazy and I hope it inspires other rappers to take the "classic" rollout approach. I might be forgetting an album, but this might be the first traditional album rollout that some people have ever experienced....mainly the crowd that started listening to music after streaming started dominating. We used to get this type of excitement regularly

Question for you and everyone. Do you think this album would've did these numbers if it was a surprise drop?
