Why clipse split

He had other things going on that he had to answer for. He was so into his convictions and where he stood that when he told me no after I gave him all the breakdowns and specs about everything, there was nothing I could say.

Filed Under: Clipse , Pusha T. Categories: News. Back To Top. The world was finally tuned in, eager to see what was coming next. Only, it would take four long, cold years for it to finally arrive. But before they could finish it up, shit hit the fan. The pieces began moving. Star Trak Entertainment was moved to Interscope Records and, because of contractual obligations, Clipse were forced to remain with Jive. Unwavered by all of the moving pieces, Clipse kept working on the album, but when they were finally ready to release it, they got hit with pushback from the label.

Then They eventually sued Jive to get out of their contract and grasp any lasting piece of momentum that had endured through the thousands of rap years that ran over the span of four. Finally, in May , their dreams became a reality. They were out. Not just out, but ready —the first single for their long-awaited second studio album, Hell Hath No Fury , dropped that same month. It is an album powered by anger and what feels like a quota of necessary flexes, but has much more to say about the ideologies of drug dealers, former drug dealers and brothers.

They come together to chastise rappers for copying them, but their ultimate feelings on the institution of cocaine are drastically different. Malice looks away from the stove that they cook cocaine on, seemingly in disgust.

Pusha T grips it and strikes a pose, worshipping it, defined by it, dedicated to it. As religious as the brothers are, devout Christians, Hell Hath No Fury leaves the church outside of its doors.

The pressure was enormous, and one day it became too much for Malice. They were picking up all of our friends at different times. I had a friend, he just had a baby. They were coming for everybody.

There was a whole bunch of stuff happening. They were kicking in doors and making mommas and wives get on the floor. It was just crazy. We were never late. I knew about some of their troubles with the law, but it took this story to even begin to truly understand what Malice and Pusha T were going through at the time.

The pressure must have been extraordinary.
