At Paris Fashion Week, a surprising revelation was made by No Malice from Clipse. He declared that Kendrick Lamar’s fiery track “Not Like Us,” aimed at Drake, is currently his favorite song. Given the history between his brother, Pusha T, and Drake, this choice raised few eyebrows.
No Malice’s candid admission about his music preference came during an encounter at the Louis Vuitton fashion show. While discussing fashion, the conversation took a musical turn, leading to the revelation of his current favorite song. The chosen track, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” isn’t just any song; it’s a diss track that’s been making waves on the charts.
Interestingly, Nigel Cooper, a TikToker, hints at another layer to the Kendrick-Clipse collaboration saga. According to Cooper, Kendrick might be featured on Clipse’s upcoming album, ‘Let God Sort Em Out.’ This speculation arises from a video Cooper made concerning Pusha T’s feud with Jim Jones in 2023. The video included diss tracks from both sides, one being the unreleased “Chains & Whips,” which made its debut at a Louis Vuitton fashion show in 2023. Cooper claims TikTok muted his video following a copyright strike by UMG, alleging Kendrick’s involvement in “Chains & Whips.”
Neither Kendrick nor Clipse has commented on these stirring rumors. However, collaborations between these two are not unheard of. Kendrick previously joined forces with Pusha T for the track “Nosetalgia” from the 2013 album ‘My Name Is My Name.’
In an exciting buildup, Pusha T unveiled more about the long-awaited Clipse album in various interviews. During the Ghetto Runways podcast, he expressed his anticipation, stating that the album is ready, save for one last feature. Pusha T assured that fans could expect nothing short of greatness, emphasizing the album’s potential to showcase matured street hip-hop vibes. This project marks the duo’s return after a 15-year hiatus since ‘Til the Casket Drops.’
This anticipated album, ‘Let God Sort Em Out,’ is also significant as Clipse’s first release under Def Jam. Pusha T, speaking with Ari Melber, teased fans, stating that though the process has been lengthy, the wait would be worthwhile.
The revelation by No Malice about his musical preference has sparked curiosity and anticipation surrounding Clipse and Kendrick Lamar’s potential collaboration. Fans are eager to see how this could shape the hip-hop scene. As Clipse prepares to drop their awaited album, the excitement only continues to build.
