“Real Hip-Hop Is Back” as Clipse Prepares to Drop Highly Anticipated Album Let God Sort Em Out

Fans of authentic rap are buzzing online, chanting “real hip-hop is back” thanks to the impending release of Clipse’s comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out. The duo—Pusha T and Malice—have reignited excitement in the hip-hop community with a series of powerful singles that showcase their signature lyricism and sharp storytelling.

The latest single, “So Be It,” dropped yesterday on Clipse’s official YouTube channel and has already set the internet ablaze. Produced by Pharrell Williams, the track features a masterful beat that perfectly complements Pusha T and Malice’s verses. But it’s Pusha’s blistering takedown of Travis Scott that has fans losing their minds.

In the song, Pusha T spits lines like,
“You cried in front of me, you died in front of me / Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me / Heard Utopia had moved right up the street / And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat.”

He finishes with a gut-punching verse:
“The ‘net gon’ call it the way that they see it / But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it / They wouldn’t believe it, but I can’t unsee it / Lucky I ain’t TMZ it, so be it, so be it.”

This searing diss has dominated conversations online, underscoring the fierce energy Clipse is bringing back to the rap scene.

However, “So Be It” is just one part of the comeback narrative. The album’s lead single, “Ace Trumpets,” also earned critical acclaim for Pusha’s direct lyrical shots at another former GOOD Music label mate, Kanye West. That track stirred up a lot of buzz and praise for its boldness and craftsmanship.

Yet, not everyone is vibing with Clipse’s resurgence. New York rapper Jim Jones expressed skepticism about the hype surrounding “Ace Trumpets.” In a backstage clip at the BET Awards captured by big_business_ on X, Jones gave props to Pusha T and Malice but questioned the track’s impact.

“Shout outs to Pusha, shout outs to the Clipse. Congratulations on whatever they got goin’ on,” Jones said. However, when pressed about the single, he added,
“What’s so great about it? It’s good in what? The nostalgic value of it? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe them.”

Jones went further to explain that he’s never been a fan of their music and couldn’t recall many of their songs. His criticism hints at a deeper, ongoing tension.

It’s important to note that Jones and Pusha T have had a public beef since 2023, sparked by Jones disputing Pusha’s ranking on Billboard and Vibe’s top 50 rappers of all time. Jones questioned Pusha’s credentials beyond rapping about drug dealing, saying,
“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time? Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself. He could rap his ass off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing.”

This exchange fueled a back-and-forth of disses, and Pusha reportedly responded on a track called “Chains & Whips,” expected to be on Let God Sort Em Out. Fans eagerly await the full album release on July 11 to hear how the feud and other themes unfold.

As Clipse gears up for their official comeback, the energy is palpable. Whether embraced by longtime fans or questioned by critics like Jim Jones, one thing is clear: Let God Sort Em Out is bringing sharp lyricism and bold narratives back to the forefront of hip-hop culture.

Stay tuned for the full album drop and more moments that promise to shape rap’s landscape in 2025.
