tag right right there, right, look at look at my tag.
See what it says. It's a coked up review. Okay,
all like the last however, how it since last night

(03:08):
into the gym while I was working, So I've been
doing Okay. So if you haven't, guests already looked at
the name of this episode, you looked at the cover art. Uh,
this is a review of the Clips fifth album. I
believe this will be the.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Lord.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
There's hell no fury.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right, there's to the casket drop, to the casket drop.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
So that's so. This is for joint. Okay, and they've
had mixtapes you know. Yeah, we have gaged and all
of that. We got it for cheap. But this is
a review of that album. If you watch this podcast,
you know what we do. What the criteria is. Uh,
it's for me, it's straight up. The first listen is

(03:59):
just about impressions. I'm throwing it on. I'm in hip
hop mode. I'm just listening, you know, enjoying whatever's happening
or not enjoying whatever it may be. Second listen is
more me listening more intent, you know, listening to the bars,
like really trying to catch some of the punchlines, themes, concepts, everything,

(04:21):
And the third listen is really just to confirm my thoughts. Now.
The thing about that is I've listened more than three times,
so you already know how I might feel about it.
But let's just get started right off the back, just
so those who don't know this being the Clips fourth album,

(04:46):
now that's coming back to the rap game in the
way we knew them with Clips. It is thirteen tracks.
Well the name of the album is let God Sort
Them Out, but it's thirteen tracks, forty one minutes in length,
and some monster features including Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar

(05:11):
Nas The Dream obviously, Pharrell Williams, Stove God Cooks, amongst others.
I think John.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Right, Lava Man Alva Man right right. We gotta get it.
We're gonna get into.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
That, right, but in general, and I just want to
say this one thing before we get right into it.
But you know, the Clips did a number of interviews
leading up to this album. Some I watched, something I didn't.
But one thing, one clip that was notable to me
heading into this album was the fact that PUSHA T said, like, yo,

(05:55):
we when it comes to features only spinners, legends, up
and comings. That's that's all we deal with when it
comes to clips albums and by the names we you
know we mentioned they kind of fit those categories as
far as uh, you know, status, whether you heard of
them or not. But I let's go right before this

(06:21):
album as far as anticipation and then like a your
general feeling of the album. So, when when you started
hearing singles off of this project, where was your anticipation
and do you feel it was met with this album?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Great question, man, so, and I'm trying to think back
to what the first My first the first thing that
I heard was that the.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
I got it, I got the trumpets.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
The dad won't listen wasn't trumpet. It was.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
The changing whips. It was the preview at the fashion
walk and these dudes is marching with the LOUISV outfits
Like that was the first initial exposure. You know, this
didn't there was no Kendrick versus anticipation, none of that.

(07:24):
It was Okay, these dudes are on at the fashion
they got the LOUISV outfits and they walk into.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
This crazy.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yo that I just thought crazy, like yo, this is crazy,
like whatever this is like it made me stop just yo, dag.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
What's that? You know what I'm saying? It made me
do that.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
And then I'm looking at like how these dudes is
walking and they got the straight nobody's smiling, and they
just got the crazy LOUISV And I'm like, all these
dudes is coming back. That was my initial response, like Okay,
they coming back. I didn't know what they was gonna
bring with them, but you know, I'm a I'm a fan.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well I remember that song and I didn't realize it
until now. Uh, that's to push your tea verse. That
was addressing Jim Jones. Jim Jones, Yeah, yeah, you know
we in the room and you the elephant.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, and if we and if we want to get
to that, I mean, yeah, let's let's talk to that
real quick, yo, man. Even with that that whole Jim Jones,
push your t back and forth, Like when I seen that,
it's like, what do we I don't want to talk

(08:48):
about this no more? You know what I mean not
to say that you and I don't talk about it,
but the buzz or that, oh you know, Jim Jones said,
and then when I seen that, I'm like, why is this?
Why is this a conversation? So that just totally just
was wiped from my mind. It just became Okay, they're

(09:11):
coming back with the new album.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I want to hear what they had to say.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Now. What that was going to sound like, who knows,
but just the serious face from both of them and
that march and that crazy how crazy the song was
sounding on the runway, I'm like, yeah, these dudes, they've
always been serious, but I'm like, they serious, like what?
And I think whatever they come back with is going

(09:38):
to be serious now in comparison to actually what I
heard last night, you know, and the anticipation and waiting
for this to drop and and actually engaging with it,
what like twelve at twelve am, Yes.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
And it lived up to the expectation.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
And I just got two words, maybe it's three words,
the exquisite street raps. That's what I heard. That's what
we're getting too, exquisite street raps. And if that matches
what I seen on that runway, And I was feeling
like that's what I got after pressing play and then

(10:21):
hearing the whole album after three times, because I did
three last night too, like which is crazy like you
three times one night I went to bed with like
two thirty in the morning because I ran it back
and then there was songs in it that I kept
running back. So definitely enjoyed what I heard. And yeah,

(10:49):
exquisite street raps. That's when I walk away. That's one
if I if I could summarize which is street raps?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, how about you, man?

Speaker 3 (10:59):
What what was your what was your initial what did
you head first?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I did, so I heard what you heard, but I
think at the time I didn't put too much stock
into it because it was a snippet. It was a
response to Jim Jones. I was like you once Jim
Jones like was in front of garbage cans. With his
response to that, I'm like, dog, you we know you

(11:26):
don't live in a hood. We know that. Why are
you going back to be in front of clothes, bodega's
and garbage cans to respond to this man? And he
looked like he not on the same planet. When you
go watch that video, you know what I'm saying, Oh,
he's not even overhead, he not even here, like you

(11:47):
know what I'm saying, just just doing, just doing rich stuff,
but or wealthy stuff. There's a difference. But you know,
when I heard that, it was dope. But like I
kind of hate snippets because I can't really absorb with
it what it is. But when I heard ace trumpets
and ballerinas and snow glows, I was like, this mean,

(12:11):
like this, what they doing right here is me. And
I just want to say this so everybody knows, and
go back and check the tape, whether it's hair on
Hip Hop Now podcast or on Apartment five B. I
told y'all, malice is nothing to play with. Like told
y'all that was the thing back in the days when

(12:32):
with Lord Willing. When I was listening, I was like, yo,
he might be my favorite, like he he gotta And
this is the difference, y'all. Right, Obviously, Push your Tea
is not whacked by far right, but older brother got
a little bit more sauce on his version of what
they both do. You know what I'm saying, there's just

(12:53):
a little bit more sauce on his more slick talk.
You know what I'm saying, Push Your Tea's more technician right,
the way he the way he flows, the way he
spits his stuff, the way he puts the words together.
Alice is doing the same thing, but there's just something
more old school slick.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Like I was gonna say from from from this album,
it's like it's slick, but it's like blunt. Yeah, yeah,
you know what I'm saying, because it is you know,
as far as that's one of the notes that I took,
as far as like being witty or you know, from
where we're from, we say slick, slick talk, you know,

(13:38):
like yes, absolutely, but it's like it's it's blunt. Like
he has his nuance. It's like he builds with the
nuance and then he'll hit you with a with something
that's blunt and you're just like, oh.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
You like right right yeah. When he said you'll die
at the Oscars, I was like, yo, I don't have
to say, Will Smith, I don't have to say. I
don't have to say nothing about what happened. You know
what I'm talking about. But in the Ace, Trump is joint.

(14:15):
You know, obviously the whole joint is dope, like the
base to beat everything. And you know, I was just
enjoying the bars and when Melice said drugs killed my
teen spirit, Welcome to Nirvana, I was.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Like, yeah, he's back. Yeah, that's what I mean. It's right,
he has the nuance and anything. It's like, right, yo,
it's come on man, it's the boosy mean.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Like y'all right, And when you know, you know the
whole story of the clips of why he left rap
for a second, Deadline hits extra hard because you you're
hearing it and you like, drugs kill my teen Spirit? Okay,
well why would he say that? Okay, well that's why

(15:04):
he left, right, He felt like he didn't want to
promote that lifestyle and stuff like that. You could tell
it affected him deeply at that point in time. But
like you said, with the hard hits, welcome to Nirvana.
It's like teen Spirit, y'all know Nirvana the group, right,
the song probably the most recognizable song that most people

(15:26):
mm hmm. And then to kill because it's too much.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's a lot there, it's a lot with just that shark,
like that shark short.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Jack right right, short punches that you don't see. But
to your point, when when the album like finally dropped,
we're gonna talk about that part. I just loved everything
about it, Like you said, man, exquisite street raps, right,

(16:02):
it felt like what I always say that, like jay
Z fans no matter when you came into the jay
Z catalog or whatever, a reasonable doubt. It's like drug
dealer talk on a different level. It's string a bell.
It's not the box stairs. You know what I'm saying.
It's like, hey, I'm classy with this. I may be

(16:27):
pushing the same weight you pushing, but you around the
corner with the hoodie on and having shootouts to stuff
like that. I'm in business meetings like it feels like
that the way they delivered it, and obviously jay Z's
jay Z, but it's a very unique way to talk

(16:48):
about a subject you've been talking about for over a
decade at this point. Yea, you know what I'm saying,
And it doesn't sound dated.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
No, no, can we can? We can we take it?
There can we can? We I'll let you, but yeah,
we got to put them on Sonically. You know how
this album sounds like you said the subject matter, Yes,
it's it's what they've been talking about.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
But it's like and they have a song point POV.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's like their perspective right now, and it's not like
it's not like okay, yeah, you know I got it
in the trunk right now we get it's not that,
it's more so and it's figurative like the raps, is
that the rap the wrap in our approach to music
represents that what you know, the street stuff that they

(17:51):
were involved in back then, this is now represented by
our music and the business that we're conducting. We're taking
that same mentality from the street stuff and making it
applicable to you know, what we do in the music business.
And yes, that's been there, but now we get to

(18:13):
hear again, what is their stance right now? Five?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, without it feeling like you have to focus on that,
you know what I mean. It's like it's there. They're
painting the pictures. They're reflecting off of everything you know,
they've been through, especially their father. And we'll talk about
you know that will break down like songs and stuff

(18:40):
like that. But yeah, you kind of walk away with
something that's mature enough for people who feel like they
don't want to hear immature rap anymore because they're older. Yeah,
but it still has the energy from grinding and guide
it for cheap and like all the records you remember,

(19:02):
but they just feel more like bigger bosses at this point,
and even from just a rapping standpoint, like everything is refined.
Nothing feels like they put some throwaways in there, like.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
No, no, absolutely, absolutely not. That was one of the
notes that I had when I, you know, to expand
on exquisite.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
There wasn't a bar wasted. No, no, there was.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
There wasn't a bar ladies and gentlemen. There wasn't a
bar wasted. Now. I don't know that that type those
types of things excite you, but that you know, that
should be commended. You know, there wasn't a bar wasted.
Everything was sharp about what they were bringing to this.

(19:57):
Everything sharp.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah. So let's let's talk real quick about midnight when
this album dropped, because everybody was anticipating a shout out
to Kill Apartment five B. We were talking about it
as we were recorded, and you know, like Kill was like, Yo,

(20:20):
I made sure my headphones was charged up. I was
charging things that I probably wasn't even going to use,
Like I was just trying to be ready to consume
nothing but this. But at midnight, if you were using
that for music, what was your experience?

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yo? Man? So at midnight, so I had uh what
pre ordered? You know, I pre ordered because I wanted
to be able.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
To to.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Have that. So I think, you know, maybe eleven fifty five.
I went over and I was looking for it. I'm like, okay,
it's not not here. So then they dropped, and yeah,
I listened to the I listened to the entire album.
And this is real talk, real, real quick criticism. I

(21:13):
listened to what I thought was the entire album, and
so I got to the end and like the song
the last song cut off, and then I looked at
the time. I was like, damn, this joint thirty three
thirty three minutes. Damn. I'm like, damn, y'all. I liked it,

(21:37):
but this is kind of short, like damn, and then
the last song just cut off like that, what's that?
You know? And then I went over to YouTube, and
then then I dawned on me.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I realized, I'm like, well, hold up, what the hell
was a trumpets? Like I didn't hear age trump It's like,
what's going on head?

Speaker 3 (21:58):
So then I went over to YouTube and I looked
at the list on YouTube, and then I compared, I'm like, yo,
hold on, I got I got shorted, like my bag
wasn't wasn't full, Like what is this?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
So I went and I looked.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I'm like, oh, like some of the songs wasn't included,
Like it was like I had to pay for like
three additional songs like the Ah Trumpets Mike Tyson Blowed
through the Face and uh and the last song by
the grace of God like it.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
It didn't it wasn't in my for what I for
what I bought from the pre order. Oh wow, Yeah,
so that wasn't That's why I said. That wasn't so
if I say one criticism and that's not, they don't
have nothing to do with the clips. That was some
Apple Music stuff. But yeah, So initially I was like, damn,

(22:56):
like I like it, but this was this was this
was like short and then what was up that last song?
Why you just cut off like that?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
And then I realized what it happened.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
So then I went back got the songs that I missed,
and then went back and listened to it again, and
I'm like, now this is now my.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Plate is full, the bag is full.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
When I got shorted, no, put that back, put that
back in the bag.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Okay to be good.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Now Like now now I'm good. Like I went back
and bought everything, but I listened to it on YouTube
and so the crazy part about it is I went
it was the opposite. I went to Apple because I'm like, yo,
I don't want to go to YouTube and listen to
it out of order, so I want to make sure

(23:47):
that it was an order. And I still, you know,
so it was still janky. So I ended up listening
to it on YouTube to get the full effect, and
I'm like, yeah, now this is this is this is it?

Speaker 2 (24:00):
This is so that good?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Forty one minutes yes, yeah, forty one minutes a potency
because I'll start thinking like what wait, minute, tru Is
ain't even on here.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Like I have to look again.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
And so right now in my Apple Music, right now
as we speak, it's like almost like an EP, like
the three songs that yeah, the three songs that I
didn't get, and then the rest of the album and
now it's like an EP, like I'm gonna have to
make a playlist to put everything in its order.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, something something's off because there's a way to combine them, Okay,
instead of making a playlist, something's off and how they're listed,
like title could be slightly different or artists, But if
you combine them by just correcting all of that, it'll
put them all back in the same pas. Well what's

(25:00):
crazy is that wasn't my experience. I went on streaming joint.
So I went to Apple Music first because of the
lossless audio, and I wanted to use, you know, the headphones.
I was going to just zone out. So I'm playing,
I'm go press play on the first track and I'm

(25:22):
hearing chains and whips. But I'm like, that's not the
first track. So I kind of like looked and all
of it was like available. It wasn't like Great outa
or anything like that. So I did it again and
it went to the second track. So I'm like, well,
what the hell's going on now. I've noticed in the
past with streaming services, mostly Apple, they'll have a pre

(25:47):
like pre load pre lock in for your streaming service
version of an album, and as singles are released, titles
are revealed, but the other ones will say track one,
track two or whatever. That great out that's what I
saved months ago. That wasn't the album that was released.

(26:09):
So I had to delete that, go back to that
new page, and like re added to my library to
get the whole thing. But guess what, When I did that,
Mike Tyson punched to the face was grayed out, so
I'm like, well, wait a minute, this is sample something
like yeah, yeah, that's what the first thing.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
I thought, like that right.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
But then miraculously it was available, So I think somebody
was trying to replace what was there before the album
dropped with something that was different about what his new
joint was, and everybody was pressing play on what they
had saved, yes, which happened to k He said the

(26:56):
same thing every time my press play goes to chains
and whips. So I was like, yo, just delete that joint,
look on you know, look on Apple Music, and just
re download it. So then you know, everything worked out.
But the other thing I did, because I was starting
to get a little frustrated, I was like, I have Spotify.
I went over to Spotify one album, all songs there

(27:20):
to be played, high quality sound and all that shit.
So I was just like, I'm just going to Spotify
for now.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Because I saw.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
People posting, I'm like, wait, are they listening? And I
was like, oh, some people got Spotify. So it was
interesting to have that experience when again, when we talk
about our anticipation and how far back it went to
be honest, which was like what a year or two
when we first heard chains and Whips or whatever. So

(27:53):
that was the experience. But let's get into these songs,
which I think, you know what people really want to
hear about. Man, when you heard the first track, because
this came to mind as a question for you, the
first track being the Birds Don't Sing. Now, given the
fact that you've heard snippets and other singles leading up

(28:13):
to it and it was all coked out, how did
you feel when you heard that as the very first record?

Speaker 3 (28:21):
I man, there there's mixed emotions with that. Like again,
like I think it goes back to my initial impression
of them, you know, on that runway with the with
the you know, nobody smiling.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
It's like, Yo, these dudes are serious.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
But you know, I was looking at it in a
in a more fun way then, But then when I
press played and.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Started to hear the subject matter of this, of this.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Song, that these dudes are serious, like, and it's like,
we're gonna show you how serious we are, you know,
And so yeah, man, I mean that that's the most
vulnerable song I've heard from from the clips I think

(29:12):
overall on this album, it's the most vulnerable i've heard
push a T.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Now let's for the audience. Let's make this clear.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
It's vulnerable in their way, you know what I'm saying,
It's vulnerable in their way. So even in their way,
they're looking at this like with the most the best
raps that you can get, even while being vulnerable. So yeah, man,

(29:45):
like it's it's it's a great song. It's a vulnerable,
a vulnerable song. But my you know, initial impression from
hearing it is, Yeah, these dudes are serial and they're
kicking off the album in a serious, a serious way,

(30:05):
in a serious way. And then quite frankly, I know
we're talking about this song in particular, but having the
whole experience. Now, if they're hearing the first song and
thinking back on it, it's like that first song dedicated
to their parents, and now that everything after is like,

(30:28):
we're gonna we're gonna make them proud the way that
we know is the most exquisitive street you could ever get.
It's like, it's that's dedicated to our parents, and you know,
it's a very vulnerable subject. And now that we set

(30:51):
the tone with that, let God sort them out. We
are here to give and just give the business on
these beats and in these bars and these rounds. Like
that's like what I got from it overall. Just thinking

(31:11):
about thinking back on that first song.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
That first song, Yeah I'm with you, I it kind
of caught me off guard because it was the you know,
it was the first track, and I think, you know,
there was a lot of malice not only in this song,
but influence, no malice influence throughout this album because of
the you know, being vulnerable because he was obviously not

(31:38):
afraid to be that and leaving hip hop at one point.
But to your point, what I what I think I
like about it as far as setting the tone, it
says that these are real human beings, right like we
know we talk about the coke rat and be coked
up and float the coke and how many ways they

(31:59):
could talk about coat in the street. But this is
the reality also, right like, this is who they are.
This is this is Terrence right like talking about and
referring to himself and other people where we got to
learn the family. You know what I'm saying, This is tea,

(32:21):
not push your tea, nothing like that. So like all
of that kind of stuck with me because I always
feel like rappers who are able to do that, especially
doing it in a great way lyrically, they they bring
themselves closer to their fans because they can relate to that.
So when by the time you get the joints like

(32:45):
chains and whips, you know them, Oh that's the homie.
You know what I'm saying. His mother and father left
over here and work double shifts and blah blah blah,
and he was on the block and all of that,
And it just was a great launch your pad to
say that this album is full of substance, whether that's

(33:05):
just like what's being talked about or the potency of
the ball work. Like you just this isn't your average
coke rap album where I'm just gonna try to say
all the flies things I can say about, you know,
the drug trade in the street. So I think I

(33:26):
appreciated that, and I'm gonna afterward kind of done with
some of the songs. I'm going to talk about some
of the things that were happening happening that led to
me's asking the question, it's the Clips album over hyped
and it plays into all of what's we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Watch okay, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Can we talk about Kendrick. I'm not trying to be
a bye. But at first I was like, okay, Kendrick
getting busy, but then I was like, okay, he goes.
He got out of heads getting out of head now,
Like when you finally got the chance to hit a

(34:13):
full song, what was your impressions of that song in
Kendrick's feature.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, again, it's like following up after the first track
and we get into this it's it's I don't know
that set like a whole other tone like and yeah, man,

(34:46):
it's a great, great feature. Kendrick of course did did
his thing, did his thing, man bodied it and it's
just a respect like you know that there's a respect there.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
You know.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
It just sounds like when you know they asked him
to get on that song, he was like, of course,
and you know, you know, well, I guess it's back
to control, like I'm gonna try to kill both of
y'all on you.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
On your track.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
But it's it's respectful, like you know he did that
because of how much he respects right malice and pusher
you know, and so and don't get me wrong, like everybody,
everybody everybody did their numbers on air, but of course
Kendrick took it another gear though he had to take it.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
He had to take it another gear. So yeah, man, great,
great song, crazy you know.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Summer summer song card, turn it up, you know what
I mean? I get a bit of like, uh, Church
in the Wild vibes from Washing the Throne has got
that kind of that that that that that that rhythm
to it. But yeah, man, yeah, another gear with Kendrick,

(36:18):
another gear, another gear. But the thing is with the
clips as far as album wise, as you're.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Listening through, they went to different gears.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
So that was just the second song and one of
their features taking it to another gear.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
But overall with Pusher and.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Malice, yeah, we gotta talk about their gears throughout this whole.
It's again tone tone setting.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, like you said, it's exquisite street raps, right, And
I'm glad you said that because we're gonna we're gonna
separate the difference based off of what I teased. But
I feel the same way, like you know, Kendrick Verse
was dope. It added to what Pusher and Malice was
doing on that track, and it's always do when you

(37:17):
have an album highly anticipated, and the expectations are bars
and your features come to play right like they they're like, okay,
I know what this is. I know, I know what
it's gonna be. Let me show up, you know, let
me not dillar in the next song. Low key kind

(37:41):
of becoming one of my favorites because you talk about
a feature coming in there like I get busy too.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Tyler the creator with the clips again, the clips do
they thing like ox set step it up. Tyler is
just and he's worked with with a song was crazy too.
He worked with Pushing TV for what was it Trouble
on My Mind? Yeah, that was crazy when it This

(38:15):
is another one, and what I like about it is
Kendrick was Kendrick like typical, like the Gemini, like he
going kind of crazy, y'all talk about Ginger reveals and
you my son and all that, and then Tyler coming
in and I forget the bar. But it was like
stunthing like death Dumb and Blind or or Blind and

(38:40):
Death Chicks.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Trying to yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Was, you know, kind of the humor. But so when
you heard p o V and the Tyler the creative feature,
what was your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Enough enough gear like?

Speaker 3 (39:03):
And then with with Tyler, it's like, Okay, Tyler's doing
his best if it feels like it's best pusher or
his best clips impersonation, but you know it's it's paying
homage like some of his caterence to some of his deliveries. Definitely,

(39:26):
you know, paying homage to to the clips, to the clips.
So body body that body that that verse with them
malice man, he.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Got me with one of those.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
He got me with one of the.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
One of them short you know, one of them short jabs.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
You know what I mean. He say, Yo, I'm watching
New Ninjas rap just the O d I had to stop,
like I'm listening to violent, Yo, this is dope. And
then he hit me with that. I was like, I
had to stop in the middle of the vibe oh ship,
like right right, you know, like and when you think

(40:08):
of it in context of the whole song, it's pov
is point of view. So he and then he tell
you that, like, Yo, I didn't you know, I didn't.
I didn't did my thing. I rap about doing my thing.
And now yo, I'm just sitting back watching these new
dudes rap just to fill out of the game, you know,

(40:29):
like but the again the delivery and the timing, which
is like damn.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, I think I think you summarized it because I
think people forgot what his kind of like what his
purpose was within the group, like we know, push your teams,
the ultimate coke rap. Me can come up with so
many different ways to talk about it, But now it's

(40:59):
remind you that like almost like he's the muscle of
the group, right, Like he's already made a decision on
you and he's gonna tell you like he's he's probably
like the Street version, Street version of like inspected that
when they used to describe him like he's gonna sit back,
watch you and all of that and didn't gonna take

(41:21):
you to court. Like now it's not even taking you
to court. He's already decided who you are and who
you're not. And it's just the way he sounds when
he says it, like he says these things with conviction.
What's we're gonna talk about? Also, because I don't know
how these cats keep saying, yeah, we don't believe him,
and I'm like I don't believe you.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
I mean, yo, man.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Leading up to this album, and I don't know, maybe
it was part of the algorithm, but something just popped
up in my YouTube where the dude that they was
doing a thing.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
What he was telling everything like yeah, you know bricks.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
But I'm like, damn, like, well, you know they obviously
I would think they're not doing it now. They don't
have anything to do with it now. But whoever this
dude was, he would sit down in front of front
of this white dude and he was telling everything.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
He was like, yeah, you know Kingpins and I'm.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Like, damn like and it just makes me think because
you know, he can't rap, so this is the way
that he tells the story, you know, and.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Shout out to that dude.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
I'm not It's just shocking because of the nature of
what they're talking about, and it's not from that interview.
There's no coding, there's no oh you know that could
just be figured in language. They ain't really t ain't
really do nothing what they say. No, this dude was
like no, it was this blunt like yeah, these dudes

(43:02):
was Kingfin and we had this connect from here from
EAT and I'm like, yo, So then you listen to
this album and then you hear malice, Like yo, I
stepped back because you know, dudes is getting indicted and
whoo whoo.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
You know, he made a smart, smart decision, you know.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
And I don't know what their relationship is with that dude,
whoever that was, that popped up on my timeline. I
know PUSH's last album. He was disappointed, and maybe that
was the same guy. I'm not keeping up with their
lore like that, but maybe that was the same guy.
No pushing expression disappointment with somebody in another interview saying

(43:44):
stuff on the last album. He's just like, you know,
expressing his disappointment in that. So but yeah, man, the
whole notion of these dudes, what they talking about that?
And of course everybody's human, right, you know, but you

(44:05):
got people that's documenting and going on YouTube and saying
yes they they are what they were rapping about, or
are yeah, they what they're rapping about.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
It's authentic. Let's just put it that way.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
It happened, yeah, you know what, Like and again we're
gonna we're gonna talk about that difference in rappers who
came from the street. But I kind of could see,
like it's it's a social media thing, so let me
not get into it just yet because I'm trying to

(44:42):
find a way around saying it early. But yeah, because
I want to get your tape also, so so be it.
We we know, y'all know the vibes, so be it
Ace trumpets perfect placement if you ask me, because I'm

(45:02):
already reeling off of the things I'm hearing for the
first time in those first three tracks. And then here
comes the joints. I've heard a lot and already confirmed
they're crazy. So now I'm halfway through the album, Like, yo,
if you can't get no worse, like it's impossible considering

(45:23):
what we have left. And if I skip a joint,
you got a note on let me know, go over that.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Well, I got I just got one note. I got
one note. So be It Part two? Yeah, I prefer
part one.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
I got a theory on that. To me, personally, I
think everybody does, like, so be It Part two is fine?

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
I think maybe there was some two things either, maybe
there was some sample situation with that one and hints
part two. But also I get the feeling we're going
to get a deluxe version of this album that will

(46:19):
include not only other songs that weren't a part of
the album, but a record like that, and maybe Mike
Tyson Puns to the Face does have my jay Z
on it, like because that's the only thing really well
for one, That's a thing that happens now with a
lot of these albums. Even Jim Jones did it when

(46:41):
he did his Deluxe. It was like a whole nother album,
you know what I'm saying, which wasn't good. The original
was better, right, like get the mother songs off ahead?
What are you doing? But it's a trend these last
couple of years to do that, because, for example, Freddi

(47:01):
Gibbs did that. He released all these singles leading up
to his last album, and when they dropped, I was like, damn,
it's big Rabbit, Like I really liked that joint. And
then they dropped the Deluxe, and all them joints leading
up to was on there towards the tail end. So
I could see that happening with this. Maybe they need
a little bit time, Maybe they're gonna throw Nori on

(47:23):
so be it. Who knows, but I agree with you.
It kind of caught me on guard because I was like,
it's not the beat I remember, Like yeah, yeah, it's
not the same thing, so I agree. I didn't hear

(47:44):
Mike Tyson punch to the face like this. Listen to
this album was the first time I heard it. Songs crazy.
I kept hearing everybody say that. I was like, Yo,
that's a dope ass title. I wish I had that,
but I hadn't heard it until this. So I'm in

(48:05):
my headphones, I'm like, oh, here go the song everybody
talking about, and I'm like, Yo, it's I'm glad this
is here, Like you know what I'm saying. You told
me about it also, you know, I know you was
happy that it was dead, but you know what were
you thinking when it when it started within the flow
of the album.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
It hit. Yeah, that was it was what it was,
what it was what I needed.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Do I have it correct now? I don't know that
it's not correct now. I had to look on on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
But on the album it's the seventh track between All
Things Considered at six and uh E B I T
B A at eight.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
It was what I needed because All Things Considered.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Moved it out, We smoothed it out, and that was
another vulnerable.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Another vulnerable track man for pushing tee.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Well, he has a vulnerable line in you know what
I'm saying, he's talking about his wife miscarried. I had
to run it back like did he say what I think?
And it's like, yeah, he actually he actually talking about that.
That's Man's that's heavy to talk about, man to put that.

(49:29):
But you know it's again the exquisite raps. You do
that in such a way where you could keep listening
to the song and enjoy the song. Right then when
you really taking what they're saying, it's like, like you said,
the humanity of it being vulnerable, it's there. And then
when we get back to the aggressive the Mike Tyson

(49:51):
blowed to the face.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It just it worked like that sequence. It just worked.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
And then I never I had heard Pushes verse. I
never heard Malice's verse, you know what I mean. So
I'm just like this it just just works, man, Just
this works.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
And we we the overall sound.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Man. I don't know if we wanted to save this
to the end, but now I just feel like I
gotta get my bars off.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Man.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah for real, man, what we what we doing?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Man?

Speaker 2 (50:26):
What we're doing with Pharrell? Man? What we're doing?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yo?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Man?

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Like, well, right, so when you say that just because
I want I wanted this to kind of be a
part of what you're about to say, just because you
have your own thoughts. But I did see one or
two people who felt like they wanted better beats for
some songs. Okay, So with knowing with what you about

(50:55):
to say, you know, what do you think about that?
And you know, do you even agree with that?

Speaker 3 (51:01):
I mean, that's that's fair. You know, that's their opinion.
With so bi It Part two, I prefer so be
It Part one, and I think it was a sample
clearance thing and it felt like it like I can't
go back now after hearing so be It Part one

(51:21):
and how crazy that was. And then the beat isn't
bad for part two, but it's not part one. And
then when you put part one and the sequence of everything,
the cohesive the album is cohesive, like and so sonically,
what I wanted to say is like, yo, it's like

(51:43):
it's bright and aggressive at the same time. Right, you know,
when I think about like pushing T in his last
his albums, he goes dark.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
That's what he that's what he does.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
He goes dark, our body dark, kind of obscure. But
with this unapologetically clips like bright but yet aggressive, like
it wasn't trying to be commercial. It wasn't trying to
be commercial. Where it was it was just that upbeat,

(52:29):
bright sound that you know of the clips, but this
was the most like aggressive. This was even more aggressive
than Hell Have No Fury. I think Hell Have No
Fury was more raw, but it had playful joints on it,
like mister me too. I'll say that's more like playful. Again.

(52:52):
They wasn't playing on this, but they had bright, bright
music like it was bright and again man, exquisite.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
It's so when I say what we're doing with.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Pharrell, and you know, folks may have the criticism of
better beats, I mean that that's cool. That's cool, but
just overall the body of work, if I look at
it overall, man, this was this was beast move man.
This was beMore, a cohesive, cohesive sound.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Clips, unapologetically clip.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
I guess my point or what I could add to
that maybe bright, aggressive and boutique.

Speaker 5 (53:45):
You can't get it from nowhere else.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
You can't get that from no else. It's it's you
know what, I've said this a couple of times, just
based off of being a Clips fan, and when you
go back and listen to the album, the president is
already set. This is Pharrell's all of these albums, all

(54:08):
four albums. This is Pharrell's brand of boom Back. It's
not boom back tweaked a little bit, but you can
recognize it. It's like, no, this is Pharrell's version of
boom back. It has that hard edge that boom Bab has,
but it's not predictable and it's clean, you know what

(54:30):
I'm saying. Like you said, boutique is it? You like
almost want to go there right when you first hear it,
if you like, especially if you're hip hop snile, you
want to go there and be like, oh here he
come with these moist sass beats. But when you hear
something like Ace trumpets that is unapologetically boom back, but upgraded,

(54:55):
like dressed up like you ever seen somebody like in
the hood, Like this dude is man ugly. No clothes
can ever change the way this nigga look nothing like
you can put anything on him. But then he go
get a cut, get that bed lined up. You know
what I'm saying. The close is clean. And then because

(55:17):
he looked good, he kind of projecting a way, and
it's like, yeah, I think I was wrong because.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
With the women, the women that they right.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
There, the women that was like ignoring him, are now
looking at him. And it feels like that's what Pharrell
does with the production. He he looks at he knows
what it is because he's listening to these rats and
he's like, yo, this the block, the street that's coke
and all of that. But like you said, it's it's
a difference between Scarface and Freedom Town. The Scarface who

(55:54):
already got rid of Frank and all of the mother cats,
and now he on top. He carries himself alo little
bit different. So I think I think you're right man.
And again you know, obviously it's all subjective as far
as you're I but I think if you've heard clips albums,
this production should be no surprise. Not to me.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean the only surprise is damn how
how good it is, Like because you would think like
you would think, oh, well, I could get monotonous, and
it's like no, like he's finding ways to take it

(56:39):
to another level or to flip it this way or
the Like you said, it's not predictable. You can't the pattern.
The pattern is clips, but you can't get into Okay,
here's my slow song, here's my song for the ladies,
here's my ultra hardcore barred up some No, it's not

(57:03):
it's not that right, not that. And listening to some
of the interviews were pusher. Pusher was saying like, Yo,
we're going for a.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Feeling and damn it.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Yeah yeah, yes, yes, and we're gonna get to you
know it's later, it's later in the album, but yes,
I was in my feelings. I got into some some feelings.
I know it's we're gonna get there. I'm not going
we want it like number eight. We only on number eight.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
We're only on number eighth. But we don't necessarily have
to go through all of them. I just wanted to
point out some some notable stuff that you know, through
the tracks that we noticed. For me, I was waiting
for this. I understand why it happened the way it
did because I think it has less to do with

(57:56):
wanting him to have a verse versus can he legally
have one on this project at least? And that stove
God cooks, yeah, stove God man, like his situation is
so bad. He's been relegated to doing a ton of hooks,
which I think they're being smart because they say they're hooks,

(58:18):
but they kind of give them a verse. You know
what I'm saying right now. If you don't know Stove
God cooks, you're talking about Coke raps. This dude praised
at the altar of a stove, and at first I
thought it was silly, but I love it. I love

(58:38):
it every time it gets ridiculous over stove, like I'm
looking at a stove, like, damn, listen, I got a
stove pendit like. So he was perfect for the song
he's on Fight Go Again. I wanted a longer verse,
but I just think, you know, listening to uh west

(58:59):
Side Guns projects that he puts them on and all that,
it's like it's a lot of hooks that do sound
like versus and it sounds like he's doing the same
thing here. Oh, any thoughts on that.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Track, Well, I gotta hear here your your thoughts, like
not only stove God, yes, but can we can we
for a moment just talk about the technicality of that
fightcoh the raps.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Let's let's let's.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Talk about raps like rapping ability, like I got I
got my take, but I want to I want.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
To know what you thought about Pusher.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
And and and Malss versus on it.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Man.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Look, man, I it's it's to the point where listening
to this album as an is inspiring. It makes you
want to write. If you're a writer like that, right,
if you are a recycler, you'll never you'll never understand
what I'm saying at this point. But if you're a

(01:00:15):
writer and you hear the fact that they could sound
like they're talking about the same things, but they're not,
and they're never talking about them in the same ways.
And to have stove Gud's like brand of rap where
he's more like sing songy sometimes but he's more sing songie,

(01:00:38):
but he's in that same technical realm as Analyson and
push a t. It was just like this could have
been really we even if we didn't have an album,
this was released as a single, I'd be going crazy
because their bars are just they just draw you in

(01:01:01):
with their attention to detail, you know what I'm saying. Like,
even if you're not a rapper, right, let's just say
you're a hip hop head and you listen to every
single thing about especially An artist who was capable about
a verse or song this is this is the type

(01:01:22):
of stuff you want happening today. And that's how I
feel about this track in the album and Push your
T and Malane's performance is that they set it up
so much that I'm already drawn in to what they
have to say, and I'm already reeling off of what
Push your T said, And I'm like, damn, stove God
didn't even get his hook verse in Malice didn't even.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Go yet, Like Yo, I ain't mean to cut you
off none. Yeah, you know. I was like, for that
FIGHTO you had with what stove God did, with with
what he brought to the table, his flow and that
bridge hook bringing it together. But Yo, these dudes rhyme stanzas,

(01:02:12):
the stanzas rhyme and then at the end of the
stanza the punchline and the word right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
And both of them did that like flawless. I was like, Yo,
what is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Yo?

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
When I say that? Shifting the gears? I was like yo,
And I'm sorry, Yo. I got it with the next joint.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Man, Let's let's get to it, man, because this is
one of them tracks I was. I had to look
down at the title like what one is this? You know?

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Yo? And glorious Bassis Yo is why I couldn't. I
couldn't that That's what kept me up. The album was
already hot right that came on. I was like, I ain't,
I can't. I'm not going to sleep like and this
was after the first that first listen and I was

(01:03:19):
only thinking it was thirty three minutes, you know, even
on that first when that, like you said, I had
to look like what's yo?

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
That that beat?

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Clue?

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I was like, yo, okay, now they're talking to my
soul now now like that's why you know, It's like
what's that?

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
That that mean?

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
With Magic Johnson and he's eating the popcorn Like I
was already enjoying myself and blocked in yo that I
didn't go to sleep after that, And.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Then I got to courte what he said? He said, Yo,
he said seats white. But the sixth blacke and umah,
I was like, yo, what is that? What is going on?

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Like I ain't going to sleep after that and then
that of course the whole album want to run back.
But after that, I was like I gotta sit with this,
like I'm not I'm not asleep. So if you know,
y'all y'all listening or y'all watching and glorious Bass's that's
my favorite favorite track of the whole the whole album,

(01:04:37):
the whole album. Like that, Yo, that beat yo so crazy.
Malade started cursing he hurts, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
I had to do it. I'm like, yo, he hurts.
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
It was yo, Like seriously, you're you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
When that joint hit, I had to running back because
at first, I'm like, all right, let me you know
next record. You know, I like the fight Oh Joe.
I'm a big Stove Guy fan, so it's like I
like what they did together, and I didn't. I was
just in unbelievable territory because I'm like, nah, this next
record can't be this crazy considering what we've already heard.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
Like that's why I can't go to sleep at like
that is not like it can't be.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
This is getting better as we're going along.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
That's the first thing I thought, like, Yo, they they
doing this like so they I guess the like, but
it's not a front load. It's it's like, Okay, no,
we're not. We're not gonna fall off. You thought we
was it's not about to happen, but go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
And not that we're you know, condoning any of this,
but it's kind of like a slow high slowly like
oh yeah, I'm nice. Oh wait a minute, you know,
oh wait a minute, colda hospital corder ambland like it
felt like that because I was starting to settle in

(01:06:15):
after a while, like all right, let me see how
they finished, and you hear the clue. I was like,
so we got a mixtape that, then we got mixtape
joints and they didn't use it once, y'all if you
haven't heard the record, they didn't use it once, which

(01:06:37):
which was just crazy because I think, you know, this
is just one of them albums where I think I'm
gonna get to the point of my favorite just changes.
Because there's some records I kind of leaned into because
I just initially like them so much. But even when

(01:06:57):
I heard so far, hey, I was like, damn, this
is potent. Like not that anything else wasn't right, but
this could have let off the album like it was.
It was one of those things where everything's so good
you don't have like, oh the sequencing and blah blah blah.

(01:07:18):
It just felt like the hits keep coming, man, like
I don't. I don't know, man, Like you said, it's
the production. It's the attention to detail and the lyrics
and the delivery. And you know, we had what three
songs left, and I'm like, man, where is the whack record?

(01:07:42):
Look now I'm looking for it. I did have one criticism,
but I don't dislike the song. He passed it. It's
called All Things Considered. I liked the song. I just
didn't like the hook, you know what I'm saying. And
it was more so too much phar realisms for me,

(01:08:02):
Like I like the way he appears and everything else
he's on m This one was more so like this
sounds like it would be on your album, you know
what I'm saying, Like featuring the clips because he was
more prominent, like you know, like how Swiss beats tends
to be, like if he's on it, he really on

(01:08:23):
the track. But once I got to like a second listen,
I didn't care. I care so, but I so. NAS
is at the end of this album and clips in
NAS title track basically mixed with a joint called Chandelier.

(01:08:46):
First of all, the beat for Let God Sort Them
Out had me like ready to like just let me
get on that, because but what do you think as
far as NASA's performance on here the song as a whole.
H But yeah, I'm not gonna say what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Yeah, yeah, I think again it's great, great music, great music.
But I have to say this, there's great and then
there's culturally inappropriate. You go between that on this on

(01:09:27):
this album.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
So I think it was a great song.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
I would have preferred a culturally inappropriate versus NAS, but
I see it was more of the okay, we're we're
we're gonna get together and we got NAS on head.
It's more of an upper echelon, bossed up type of

(01:09:52):
That was the feeling of it. I would have I
would have won it all cultural and a because after
the after the goddamn and glorious bastards, you know what
I mean. But no, I think I think it's a
great song. It wasn't culturally inappropriate, but I think it

(01:10:12):
was a great song. Like you know, and I remember
when when you and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
I were talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Leading up to this album, we were saying, like there
there would be comparisons like you know, clips in in
jay Z or Push It in jay Z and then
Nas and the clips like so I think that that's
great to go into that, into that lord you know

(01:10:41):
what I mean, like all right, well who you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Who?

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Who did they think? Who did it better? And now
I was I say Niles wasn't culturally inappropriate?

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
He was bossed up.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
He was.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
But if jay Z come back and he's culturally inappropriate,
it's like I not if we're comparing like all right, Na,
it's like and it's crazy and it's good that it's
fun to have those types of conversations like well, yeah,
Jay kind of got you on that in the in
the realm of clips curation. It's crazy how we're looking

(01:11:20):
at it like that. But I don't know that that
would actually happen. But if I think about neck and
Risks with Jay and Pusher, like that was jay Z
was talking talk he like like you said earlier, like yes,
I know what we came to do, like we we're

(01:11:43):
doing that. I'm with all of that talk, Whereas I
think NAS felt that way too, But it's more of
where Malice is going with it some of on some
of the verses like I gotta be the the straight.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Man and the bossed up and.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Introspective and looking back and look where we are now,
what we're doing now. But it wasn't culturally inappropriate though
it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Ab Liva was.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
That was Kendrick that was culturally inappropriate. And when I
say that, well, the whole album culturally inappropriate. But when
I say that, those versus they're not safe, right, And

(01:12:36):
I'm not saying Noah's versus whack. I'm not saying that.
But we know culturally inappropriate, like we know that when
we hear it, And yeah, Kendrick was culturally inappropriate. Ad Liva,
I mean, yo, man, the seats white but the sixth

(01:12:57):
black and the umar I was just like yo, I'm like,
oh no, now this is straight up nineties you criminal raps,
I don't know, like just street raps. But yeah, but
then you know, brother Nas, let God sort them out.

(01:13:20):
It started out hardcore, and then I would say Nas
brought it back to you know, Boston up.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
So that was my thoughts on it. But what did
you think?

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Yeah? I kind of felt the same like when I
heard it, especially the first time, it was like, all right,
so we're getting new Nas flow. And then also in
some way in that, and you mentioned that earlier. It
was a little bit more like the clips, like he

(01:13:52):
was trying to capture how their articulation, not that he's
not articulate. They were doing it in a way that
reminded me of how pushing t does it. So it
felt like he was trying to fit in. Now we
know it's Ninas, but he ain't got to try to
fit in. But it sound that way. And like you said,

(01:14:12):
everything he was saying was coming from a boss standpoint,
like you know, y'all little niggas talking or whatever. But
he just ain't get ignorant like that. He didn't he
didn't take it there on the ignorance like you said.
With jay Z, jay Z said, you know, I put
your mansion on my wall. You shitn't me like just
that alone, Like you don't have more money than me, dog,

(01:14:36):
your your home, your whole home is right there. That
total for me, just that right so to me, that's
what you you know, that's what you were saying. And
I felt like with Nas it was still dope. It
probably could have used a little chip tooth nons, a

(01:14:57):
little magic nons like you could have used a little
like Ethan Nas, like I know you ain't talking about you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Yeah, we even you gotta get caught. You gotta right inappropriate,
you know what I mean. He was cool, he was
you know what I mean, bossed up. He was like
pucking his cigar out, you know what I mean, being
the Elder Statesman kind of guy.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Yes, it was. It definitely was an elder Statesman type verse.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Which which honestly, when you think about the features and
that NAS is the last one you hear, it's kind
of appropriate to get towards the end of the album
to be like all right, ladies and gentlemen, Nas, like,
because we know on the internet you just say his name. Now,
even the kids on it like that, like what Jim Jones?

(01:15:50):
What you hear that? Like it's all true. But it
also was a good segue into the record, which to
me is almost like full circle with the first record,
which is called by the Grace of God. And at

(01:16:11):
first when I read it, I was like, oh no,
Malice was like, hey, I'm not back unless we get
one for the charge. But when I heard this, and
this is why I like that, dude, Lecrae, it was
way more relatable than preaching, and I think that's the

(01:16:33):
best way to reach anybody, right, you don't have to
convert people and stuff like that. And it's not really
even about that, but like you said earlier, it's another
space of being vulnerable and hearing the sincerity and both
of their verses. I just thought it was an excellent
way to end the album considering how you started the album.

(01:16:56):
So this is the final song when Crazy Coke Rats
all over the Damn Place features you hear this song,
what's your thoughts about.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
The end credits?

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
This was like the end credits to like Good Fellas
or something like that. Like it was just the end
credits for this, uh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
This cinematic.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
Album we just you know, listened to and I was
I was, you know, glad to hear it and it
because my first experience that it cut off, I was like,
what the hell is going on? Like I want to
hear the rest of it. I didn't even I didn't
get to push his verse.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Oh wow, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
What I'm saying. So I'm like, yo, what is not like?

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
So when I got to hear everything and the entire
album and then that that being the last track, yeah, man,
it just felt like the end credits. I got that
feeling before from to the Casket Drops and uh, I

(01:18:07):
think that was on on Hell Have No Fury the
last night I've seen something make my life, made my
life change, you know. So it's like, man again, production wise,
they the craftsman, the craftsmanship. They know how to close

(01:18:32):
out the hout like the beginning to close out like
this booking, you know, the same way that we entered.
We're gonna leave on that on that same note. Exquisite raps,
vulnerable and what they what they.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Stand for, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Yeah, man, Yeah, it's like they laid out their core
principles as men, right, Like, yeah, we about the coke
rap and stuff like that, but songs like this hit differently.
They take you out of that, you know, just enjoyment,

(01:19:10):
because honestly, it would be boring if it was just
about coke raps and street and over and over and
over again. But again, these are the songs that ther
first impression hits you from the first track and the
last song gives you. They make sure you leave with
that same impression in a lot of ways about them

(01:19:31):
as men. So yeah, I mean you're right, man, just
just a really dope album. Man likes one of the
best of the years so far.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
Hell yeah, yeah, see, I gotta lead that up to you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Brother, I don't even be on that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
Oh I could answer it's it's it's bumping something out
of my top five today. Now that doesn't mean what
ever gets bumped out isn't one of the best of
the year. But as far as the top five, and
we got a long way to go, it's a bunch

(01:20:12):
of things coming, like Ray Kwan is out next week,
so well see. But as far as this, everything we
name right about the production again, the attention to detail,
the specific, like I said it the best, like you
can only get this here. You're not gonna get somebody

(01:20:36):
else's album sounding like this because it was crafted. It
was tailored like a suit for the clips and what
they were talking about. And one last thing about that
last track, I think that's what I like the most
about it. They could have been saying something totally different
on that beat because the way that beat hits, it's

(01:20:59):
not like when I saw the title, I'm thinking like, Okay,
maybe it's gonna have a gospel tone to it, and
they get some singing and blah blah blah, and you know,
it was almost like I was trying to predict what
rappers typically do when they're taking this kind of route.
But then when I heard the beat, I'm like, you
could be spitting anything over that, Like this beat is

(01:21:22):
ahead and eye type joint. So it was just like,
you know, a dope record. But before we get out
of here, I just wanted to because I want your
thoughts on this. So a week or two ago, I
did an episode of my podcast hip Hop Now Podcasts

(01:21:44):
subscribe on YouTube and it's available in an audio form
where I asked the question is the Clips album over hyped? Now?
It was a question some of y'all on the internet.
You just you think everything is a debate. You think
everything is a statement and a thumbnail. So I had
to put out a clip so you would know what

(01:22:08):
I felt about, and obviously my answer was I don't
think it's overhyped. Well now I said, I thought it
was overhyped and I love it. Yeah, because of everything
we just explained, let overhype brings in new listeners because
they want to know what all the hype is about. Right.

(01:22:28):
But that question that I didn't address in that episode
came from a lot of MC's that I have in
my top five like two Days Spinners that seemed like
they were hating. And it wasn't just Jim Jones. Jim
Jones was clearing man, Hey man, I'm trying to get engagement. Man, Yo,
jay Z you want this work. He not better than me,

(01:22:51):
so I don't pay him no attention. But there was
some subliminals and there was some noticeable MC from that
same group that didn't say anything that I think understand
on a much deeper level about the rap game and
the implications of what they may imply. And so those

(01:23:15):
artists were Benny the Butcher, thirty eight Special, and Ransom,
and it was the tone because they weren't being direct,
which I really don't respect, Boss, but the tone was
more like, I don't believe these rappers right in general. Now.

(01:23:38):
Jim Jones said it straight up, I don't believe them
when they rap talking about the clips. But then to
see Benny kind of allude to it in the tweet,
then Ransom say some stuff and he didn't say he
was talking about them, and he said he liked them
and all that, So I don't know, but it was
ironic that Benny, eight Special and Ransom were all alluding

(01:24:03):
to the same rappers who aren't believable. One other thing
I'll just throw in there before I get your point
about this Benny, who is one of my favorite rappers.
You gotta stop talking, dog, You gotta shut up, because

(01:24:26):
if we're just being real, thirty eight specs watched you
on that last shot and stab too, and I was
a little disappointed because you my guy. But when you
come to your defense of believing being believable, this man
ran down.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I was locked up until I had attempt and I
was now and then I was locked up for sixteen
reading off like it's degrees and certifications and one Twitter
follow us at at the best this man bragging about
getting caught, Yeah, which is disappointing to me because I

(01:25:08):
want to go to bat for him, like, nah, leave
him alone. What's disappointing is if you take your hat off,
you look like George Jefferson dogs, leaving these other rappers
some animal to get at you. Okay, So I gotta say,
but what do you think about even just a culture
of even though they didn't stand on it. And the

(01:25:31):
other thing I left out was Conway and Westside Gun
said nothing that says a lot for two guys, especially Conway,
who could match what push your t and well, not
to say that Ransom in them camp, but it was
it was clear that these guys were alluding to something

(01:25:53):
during the conversation that Jim Jones basically poached directly about
being able to believe these rappers and Malice I think
said something like that on the album about uh, you know,
being believable, saying how he rapped to lyrics to cats

(01:26:17):
he didn't believe.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
I think he was rapers with dudes. He did not,
he ain't believe. Yeah, he was on records with dudes.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
So what do you do you think about that? Because
obviously all these guys could spit, they all in that
same realm of street raps and stuff like that. Do
you see it as hating? And Ransom's in there loosely
because at least he kind of directly addressed what he
was saying. But do you do you feel like it's

(01:26:54):
some hating because of all the hype or is it
justified in their opinions? Is that their opinions?

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:27:05):
The justified part again A simple YouTube, sir. It popped
up in my algorithm. This dude was telling every everything
like yo, we got it from. It was the dude
was from Pama, Panama and he was telling everything. He
was like, yes, they were involved, we were doing it,

(01:27:30):
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
And so I mean, sure they might not know. I
ain't doing no YouTube. I ain't looking at no video.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
I don't care about none of that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
They ain't got no rap sheet like me. I don't
believe none.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Of that, you know. But it's like, yo, man, they
can they can have their opinion.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Uh, but it's like, yo, you you.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
Gotta make something that people are gonna get excited about.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
It's about for me, it's about the work. I don't
want to hear y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Yo. Just do your raps. Yo, do your raps. Yo,
do your raps. You get it to where you got
that much skin in the game. These dudes been they've
been here, they've been here, they've been curating.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
They can get.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
They Yo, you you should be working on that. You
should be working on that. And okay you don't believe
them all right, Well, we want to hear all of
your raps about how authentic you are over some great
music with some great flows.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
We want to we want to hear you do it. Okay,
you tell us, you tell us what it is. Then
over great over greatness, go be great.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Don't you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
Why Yo?

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
They great?

Speaker 3 (01:28:55):
Dona? I don't want to I don't want to hear
about nobody talking about I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
I don't want to hear it. I don't want to
hear it, especially not from though no other rapper.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
You know, fans, you know, you know, hip hop listeners,
people that are gonna comment. Okay, everybody's got an opinion.
But as far as competitive and competition, yo, man, I
just don't what you make you do work, You continue

(01:29:27):
to work, do your work. Like even if I think
about like Freddie Gibbs and what happened between Freddy Gibbs
and Butcher, you know, like Freddy Gibbs just kept working
despite that outcome that that definitely wasn't a good look.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
You got you got caught up, right, but.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Freddy just kept working, kept rapping.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
At the end of the day, I got these raps, right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:53):
I got the raps, you know I got I got
jumped like all right, I ain't superman, you know what
I mean, But yo, my rap, I can rap. I
got the raping ability and I make great music. That's
what y'all gotta That's what y'all gotta do. That's what
they gotta continue to do. And like Jones, I don't,
I don't know, you know what I mean, Like I don't.

(01:30:15):
There's no footage of Pusher t running running out from
no basketball court nowhere, like we we ain't seen that,
So I don't when we're talking about authenticity, I don't know, man,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Just just do just rap.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
Yo, everybody do they they raps and being competitive, Okay,
were poking fun, were doing jabs, all right, I guess,
but Yo, let's just do your raps and maybe maybe
they'll be inspired, maybe, because that was one thing from
this album that I was thinking about. And I don't
know how other folks want to take you right, but

(01:30:53):
for me, by the time I got to the end
of it, it's like, Yo, this is like giving me
like I, you know, enjoy hip hop in the first place,
Like I'm getting that feeling from it, like I listened
to it or enjoy it because of people taking it seriously,

(01:31:15):
because of the craftsman ship, because of the attention of
details with the flows and the beats and and locking in.
That's what that's why I listened to That's that's what
I want to listen to it for. Like I think
it was malice, it might have been malas what might
have been pushed, that might have been pushed your tea,

(01:31:35):
it was push your tee, like this whole thing about
you know about the tea, like spilling the tea, like
I don't you know, sure within your bars you can
get that, but that's not the sole reason for this.
And that's why I think this whole thing about cultural

(01:31:55):
being culturally inappropriate. This album was definitely anti anti everything
y'all talking about it reminds me of that that that
Nipsey Hustle line, Like, Yo, what you're talking about? I'm
talking about this, right, That's what That's what I got
from this album. Like, Yo, we talk about this, you know.

(01:32:19):
That's what I got from GNX man talking about this
right right. So that's what I would expect from Jones,
That's what I would expect from Benny okay talking about this.

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
Give me, give us that, give us that man.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
And it's weird because when you like, even as a
fan of the guys I name, especially Ransom and even
thirty eight special because I'm not the biggest fan, but
that has more to do with his voice for me
than his bars, Like his bar is nothing to mess

(01:32:58):
with at all, regardless of how I feel about you know,
his voice, he can't help that, and some people like
that about him. But their attention to detail is like
the clips when they're writing, and what I don't understand
and and you know obviously with Benny also, but what

(01:33:19):
I don't understand is like you said, you should be inspired,
but it feels like you don't like the amount of
attention that they're getting. That's why I was like, is
it overright? Because when Benny drops Conway, I don't he

(01:33:40):
doesn't even tweet like or I don't even think he's
on Twitter anymore the way he used to. But and
Westside Gun doesn't do this no more. But they always
had this like negative reaction to not getting enough from fans,
and not just fans, maybe Benny because he's only one

(01:34:00):
that talks bad about his fans sometimes, but more so
like content creators and people who could probably take them
to that next level by covering them. But I always
thought that attitude was a turnoff and it will take
away from lyrics, and I like the way Conway just

(01:34:20):
stepped back from it, Like, yeah, I feel the way
I feel. Maybe it's not the best thing to just
keep tweeting about it. That's not gonna make people like
me more exactly exactly, So that's what it feels like, like, well,
we just did this, you know, while we like Ransom
has one of my favorite top five for the year,

(01:34:44):
him and Davies, and it's it's Vinyl call is the
name of the joint ep and it's that same attention
and detail back and forth. But what they don't understand
is the clips. In the view of hip hop fans,
there's a nostalgia factor with this also, like.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
Just I think there's nostalgia, but I think that it's different. Man,
It's different, man. This product was different. The curation, it's different.
Like I get it if they had the technical prowless
and they can wrap to nobody's taking away from these

(01:35:29):
folks skilled their skill level. But again, you can't get
what they did. You can't get it from nowhere else.
That's why people are excited. You can't, you know. And
I think those brothers should work work on that, Like
what is it? What is it about that, like why

(01:35:52):
is it? Why is it working? Like why like and
hone in on that, like why is it? Why are
they getting that fan like that?

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
I think I can answer that for Rea, It's for real.
Pharrell has a he has a hit making ability, but
he's not giving them the hits he's made for himself
and others that are clearly geared towards a larger audience
and radio and all of that. He's given them something

(01:36:24):
that's right in between. It's the boom back, but it's
the crispiness of this shit. How when you listening to
it right, like listening to it with them damn headphones
on and it got the Space Show audio, so you
turn your head. It feels like the music is like
in three D. It's the same thing that Me and

(01:36:45):
Kill always say about, like Doctor dres Compton and even
that Snoop album and the Marsha and Brosia album. They
just sound good. Like it's not even just the beats.
They just sound crip. They sound expensive. This whole album
sounds expensive. Oh you know what I'm saying. So and

(01:37:08):
again I like them. I'm there for everything they drop.
But there's a difference between what I described like we
in Paris, we on the runway. We look possessed by
the luxurious ass everything that's happening, and the nigga that
could buy all the color waves from Jordan's. There's a difference.

(01:37:30):
There's a difference, you know what I'm saying. Let me
get that wall, let me get that neighborhood. That's the difference.
So I like, I think again it's tired. It died
down some after that because I think people was honing
in on that, like, Yo, why y'all hating? But and

(01:37:53):
you know again, I think the way Ransom maybe is
just good. The way Ransom responds to that told me
he probably might have been talking in general. I mean,
for all we know, he could have been talking about Dannity.
They could have been talking about each other that we
don't know, you know what I'm saying, We don't know
the man making a lot of enemies, you know, just

(01:38:16):
talking too much. But it just felt like they you know,
you know what it is also, you know before we
end this, but I think the rollout has been perfect
for this album. Everything that could happen that should happen

(01:38:37):
is happening, from the features to the videos, the interviews,
the unique videos that kind of give ace trumpets and
so being you know, life, and we didn't even see
the chains in which video yet what should be dropping soon?
The Tiny Desk hitting they own the Breakfast Club right
in the morning. They are owning the conference station on

(01:39:00):
hip hop at least for the next three days. And
I think when these other guys drop, we get excited.
But Ransom not on Breakfast Club, Tiny Death's not calling them,
not that they shouldn't, but you know, maybe somebody there

(01:39:21):
don't know you know what I'm saying, or maybe he's
not making enough noise. So I think it's some of
those things that play into it that make these guys
and people who feel like them want to say, like
it's overrated, like the album. I know that's gonna come
with the album, but you know it's it's your opinion, and.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
Think the thing is like so when you think about
those those brothers like Ransom, Bennie thirty eight, like, okay,
you're not on Tiny Desk, but there's like other other
like what's the joint. I forget what it's called, but
this is the joint where they be on the front porch,
Like I've seen the locks on that joint, like when

(01:40:04):
they was on the on the front porch and they
they bring out the microphones and they be rhyming like.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
It's like, are y'all willing?

Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
Are y'all willing to do that? Is that something that
they want to do? You know?

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
Like because.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
Yes, they're not on on tiny desks and clips are,
but they have that pedigree to be there, you know,
and they're they're gonna be with that one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:40:34):
Are these other guys do they want to do they
want to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
Is it just?

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
Nah? My stuff is too hardcore, Like it's only for
the people that's out there pounding the pavement right now, Like,
ain't nothing with no that stuff is corny? I ain't
doing that, is it? You know? Because again it's it's
the music. It's it's the music business, and this is marketing.
This is promotion. So some somebody doing their job.

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
They're just doing their job. That's why it's everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:41:08):
And then they have the pedigree, they have the music
to back it up so that overhype. Man. I mean,
it's not just it's this isn't just marketing.

Speaker 2 (01:41:18):
It's marketing. Now if it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
Good right now we getting in the Okay, now we
getting in a different territory.

Speaker 2 (01:41:29):
But when you live up to what it is, so big,
so big, like what are we? What are we talking
about it?

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
They already answered your question two things. One, you may
want it, but then you get invited, because that's a
real thing. Like you may want it, they may not
be calling you, uh, which I don't know right because
I've seen some I've seen enough tiny death to know

(01:41:59):
they could get on them for sure if someone's looking
to put them on there. But also, and this is key,
when I went to look at clips merch vinyl everything
before this album came out, I was shocked at the
prices because signed pink vinyl, which was clearly exclusive, was

(01:42:27):
only twenty eight dollars. Now, anybody who's followed some of
these guys, particular on the Griselda side of things, no,
damn well, when they merch drop, it ain't no twenty
five dollars now. Granted, maybe that's opening the can of

(01:42:48):
worms where you know, most of these guys on especially
Ransom's kind of on some independent stuff, so you know
he is part of his hustle. And to see this
rollout merch that undercuts the market right, saying you ain't
got to pay all of that. We'll sign it for
you thirty dollars. You know, new Bennie. Oh I can

(01:43:14):
get this new Benny. Oh he got the green vinyl
for the new whatever album? Oh wait what one hundred?
Wait what? I don't even know?

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Are you sure you don't believe that they was really
out there right right? Because it looked like they're applying tactics.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
Are you sure?

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, that's how it works? Oh,
y'all got that over there. Y'all got read to oh
the meat right, let me go over there. Let me see.

Speaker 3 (01:43:50):
That's how y'all brothers, y'all know, that's how. So that's
I don't understand that, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Like, but and look to be clear that anybody watching
or listening, we can't confirm that they were talking about
the clips. I just felt the time that the timing
was I could see somebody thinking, well, Jim Jones said it,

(01:44:17):
here's my opportunity. I'm not gonna put all my chips
on it and say it directly like he did, And
I'm gonna just do a New York thing again. From Brooklyn,
New York. I like, I like these guys, but that's
Harlem and Bronx. Nah. I don't like the clips straight

(01:44:40):
to it not yo. I don't be believing these rappers,
but I'm not gonna tell you who they are say
their name.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (01:44:51):
I want to see that battle.

Speaker 3 (01:44:54):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:44:54):
I don't want to see Jim Jones. We know he
gonna lose. He know he gonna lose. We want see
y'all if that's how y'all feeling. So it was interesting.
I can't. I can't even think that this would be
an issue. Maybe it was a tactic to engage them
in some kind of way and get more looks off

(01:45:18):
of the strength of that. But thinking kind of backfired,
at least for Benny amongst his fans to start talking
about his headline and all kinds of stuff and talking
about he got to drop from Depth Jam. I didn't
hear that, but Possibility. I like that album. It's also
the album where he says bringing back the DMX feeling. Yeah,

(01:45:39):
the Feeling ninety eight. It's like, oh, so you're about
to draw two albums to go black them in the
same year. That did not happen.

Speaker 3 (01:45:46):
Y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:45:48):
So, what do y'all think about the new Clips album?
Let God sort him out? Do you like it? Do
you agree with our points? Are you a Clips fan?
You feel like this should have been better beats for
some records, it's not one way. We want to hear
your honest opinion about this album. Leave your comments in

(01:46:09):
the comments section below. I want to thank the homie
at as Usual coming through helping us break down this
album again. We're just gonna listen to it more. Maybe
opinions changed, maybe we hear things that we didn't hear before.
It's all about the discussion and hip hop, healthy discussion

(01:46:30):
in hip hop, and we appreciate everybody coming through. You
can follow me on social media at Vegas World I
n c H and check out all the things we're
doing here on the channel where can anybody follow? Follow you?
And again, if y'all don't know, kind of kind of
alluded to it the way he explained certain things, but

(01:46:52):
obviously he's a pope. There's also a filmmaker, so share
your info, share anything you want to preview.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
Also, oh at that's our I G. When I when
it's appropriate for me to post, then I'll put content
there so at at that's op on.

Speaker 1 (01:47:17):
I G all right, well, uh, as I always say,
just watch a review of this album. We're not critics,
fans feace
