  • Clipse Debate: Pusha T’s Role on ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’

    The internet is buzzing, and this time it’s all about the legendary hip-hop duo Clipse. A recent tweet has ignited a passionate debate among fans, questioning the distribution of credit between Pusha T and Malice, particularly concerning their album ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’.

    The Viral Tweet That Sparked the Debate

    The conversation kicked off when a Twitter/X user declared that Pusha T doesn’t get enough recognition for his contributions to ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out.’ The tweet specifically pointed out that Malice didn’t deliver any hooks on the album, leading the user to question the demand for a solo Malice album, suggesting he lacks the broad appeal for ‘casuals’.

    This bold statement quickly went viral, drawing a flood of responses from fans with deeply held opinions. It’s clear that the artistry and roles within Clipse are subjects many listeners feel strongly about.

    Fans Weigh In: Mixed Reactions

    The reactions have been anything but one-sided. Some fans agreed with the original poster, acknowledging Pusha T’s significant role, especially in crafting hooks, a pattern they noted has been consistent throughout Clipse’s career. They believe Pusha deserves more credit for carrying the weight on certain tracks.

    However, many others fiercely defended Malice, arguing that his strength lies in his verses, not necessarily hooks. They believe his lyrical prowess and relevance are undeniable to true Clipse fans, and that focusing solely on hooks misses the broader picture of his artistry. Some responses were quite blunt, with one user simply stating, ‘Man shut the f*ck up.’

    A History of Lyrical Prowess

    This debate comes at an interesting time, following Clipse’s recent Grammy win for their collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on “Chains & Whips.” It highlights the enduring impact and legacy of the duo, even as discussions about their individual contributions continue.

    It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the only recent viral debate involving Pusha T. Another online discussion pitted him against Jadakiss in a battle for rap supremacy, proving that Pusha T’s lyrical impact continues to be a major talking point in the hip-hop community.

Clipse will always remain Clipse. It’s who we are when we come together and it’s who the fans know it to be,” he shared.

    This commitment to the authentic Clipse identity is evident in their current tour celebrating ‘Let God Sort Em Out.’ The duo has several remaining shows in December and festival appearances scheduled for next year, giving fans plenty of opportunities to experience their powerful comeback live.
