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

    31 DE JAN.

    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.
