Clipse' "Lord Willin" Was Released 13 Years Ago Today

The two man duo that Pharrell brought us, Clipse (Malice and Pusha T) released their debut album, Lord Willin 13 years ago. That 'Grindin' song was something to fuck with back in the day. This album seemed to be a cult classic among guys currently in their mid-late twenties. Pusha T is still doing his thing big time; his last album, My Name Is My Name was my second favorite album of 2013.

No Malice Gives Update on Clipse Album

Clipse (Malice and Pusha T) were a hot duo on the rap scene in the early/mid 2000s, but around 2010/2011 Malice found Jesus and disappeared off the scene for a while. Now, people are asking for a new Clipse album, but Malice is now No Malice, and can't rap about drug dealing again. In this recent interview with MTV, he said he would like to do a Clipse with his younger brother, but he has to do him (Gospel rap), and he wouldn't want to Pusha T to compromise his raps for hims, so he doesn't know how they would go around that.

"I know it can happen. But if people are looking for the dope-dealing music that I used to give ...I would love to be able to be beside Pusha-T and rap together. That's my brother, that's my blood. But right now it just seems like we're just on two different paths. I respect where he's at, I support my brother. But that's not what I do. I don't comprise what I do, just like I don't expect him to compromise what he do." (MTV)












So what's gonna happen? This is a very tight situation right here...oil and water don't mix. This is similar to Mase's situation...he is trying to make a comeback, but he is hanging around people that still rap about guns, cars, and girls, so he doesn't know how to fuse his new style of rap with their's, without the church questioning his actions.

A LOOK AT THE BILLBOARD CHART.

Hello people? I have not done this in a while, as a matter of fact, i have been off my blog for a while now, and i know i have lost a lot of readers, but i'm back and better, and ready to continue serving you with only the best gist in hip hip/rap, and my take on them.

On the billboard chart, there are not really any new rap albums doing good, it's still same ol JAY-Z, EMINEM...

The YOUNG MONEY album "we are young money" did 21k this week, bringing it to a total of 232k after about a month. I am not looking at gold for this album, but i wish them luck.

Eminem re-released his RELAPSE album around the end of last year, and it gave the album a boost. I guess he is trying to get the album over 2 million copies sold in the u.s. This week, the album sold 17k, bringing the total to 1,777,000. I think it is still going to have a big problem going double platinum, because people hardly ever talk about the album anymore.

Jay-z on the other hand has a lot going for him; dropping two singles off his latest album in the last 4 weeks, which are getting heavy rotation on radio, and the videos also being played constantly on t.v. I think if he keeps on pushing, he might just make it to double platinum. This week, his 11th album, blueprint 3, sold 15k, bringing the total to 1,549,000.

The biggest disappointment to rap right now, 50 CENT sold just 7,300 of his 4th album this week, bringing the total to 365,000. I can't believe that an artist that was known for selling millions, and even once selling 1.1million in his first week, is finding it hard to go gold after just 4 albums in. I think people are just tired of the same old tactics that 50 cent uses to promote his albums; starting a beef with a well standing rapper, just before he drops his album.

the clipse are still on the charts, although they are not doing high numbers, but they have never been known to sell platinum, but they have always dished out quality rap music. Their new album, "til the casket drops" sold 2,900 copies this week, bringing the over all total to 62,000.
