    Clipse: The Comeback, The Grammys, The Rollout, The Purpose

    From Virginia Beach to a global stage, Pusha T and Malice sit down with Phil Thornton for a masterclass on artistry, brotherhood, and why Clipse still set the bar. They unpack what made this chapter different, why “Let God Sort Them Out” fits the group’s purpose so perfectly, and how recording inside Louis Vuitton HQ in Paris sharpened the focus and raised the standard. The conversation gets personal as they break down the emotion behind “Birds Don’t Sing,” grief, and why so many listeners say the music feels healing. Plus, they address the Kendrick Lamar situation, what it revealed about integrity and ownership, and why they refused to compromise. If you love real rap conversations with real substance, this one’s for you! Subscribe to We Sound Crazy on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you get your favorite podcast.

We get the behind the scenes story on how the first season was funded by KevOnStage and his wife Melissa, leading to them handling everything from wardrobe to continuity. For the second season, they got a full production budget and crew, allowing them to expand the show's scope and make it funnier and more authentic, with new storylines for every character. Kev and Mark highlight how the show is a workplace comedy for all audiences, even non-churchgoers, with humor that's universally relatable while still containing inside jokes for "church kids" like themselves. This episode is definitely loaded with many crazy stories and also industry insights. Mark JP Hood recalls his first time fully activating his talents when he tap-danced to Kirk Franklin in his church on a dry-erase board. KevOnStage shares the show's humble beginnings on the KevOnStage Studios app (Shout out to the GOAT), and how a mutual friend led to a bidding war for the series, with BET having the winning offer. They explain that the fame and attention can be jarring, but his slow, organic rise helped him adapt. Kev also talks about his intentionality in hiring Black women, a lesson he learned from a pivotal job interview early in his career. Lastly, listen and watch to find out who Kev and Mark's dream cameos would be for the next season of Churcy.  This is truly an episode that you don't want to miss.  So with that said, go ahead and press that play button now!!
