The review discusses Clipse's album 'Let God Sort Em Out,' highlighting the production's nostalgic Neptunes style, the duo's authentic rap skills, and Pharrell's shift towards a more polished, less emotionally invested sound, ultimately emphasizing that Clipse's strength lies in their lyrical prowess and brotherhood rather than current trends or production flair.
The album 'Let God Sort Em Out' by Clipse showcases the duo's depth beyond their traditional coke rap, exploring themes of faith, loss, and authenticity, with emotionally charged lyrics and Pharrell Williams' diverse production, marking their return after a period of hiatus and personal struggles.
Clipse, featuring Pusha T and No Malice, announced their first full North American tour since 2010, supporting their upcoming album 'Let God Sort Em Out' set for release on July 11, with EarthGang as opening acts, spanning from August to September across major U.S. cities.
Jim Jones has responded to Pusha T's Louis Vuitton diss by dropping bars and possibly shooting a video. He references Pusha's collaboration with McDonald's and slams his last album, while also accusing Pusha's brother, Malice, of being a drug user. The beef started in April when Jim said Pusha shouldn't be considered a Top 50 rapper of all time. Pusha's bars at Pharrell's LV men's line were considered aimed at Jim, and it seems like Jim wants all the smoke.
