It’s something of a tragedy that
The Clipse are still, generally, largely remembered for their 2002 hit "Grindin’". Whether it's to do with their never ending label sagas or the unapologetic drug-fueled raps which limit their daytime radio spins,
Pusha T and
Malice are far from the many one-hit wonders which have graced (or disgraced) the Hip Hop world. Reigning supreme on the mixtape circuit, releasing two heralded albums with
The Neptunes producing a majority of their work, can their third offering finally bring them back into the cipher of rap’s leaders?
Since placing his signature on a GOOD Music contract in 2010 the stock has indeed risen for the Clipse's Pusha T, in addition to the 'interest' garnered from particular rappers. If maintaining his online buzz with throwaway dopeness plus (bizarrely) featuring on a track with UK pop singer Pixie Lott, the VA juggernaut has also taken aim at Hip Hop's golden boy Drake on several occasions. If all of the above fail to impress those who doubt the rapper's musical merits, his Fear of God freebie which was released earlier this year garnered much praise for its raw, diamond in the dirt potential. Returning to audio pulpit, Fear of God II hopes to push the Clipse member up to the levels of a main player in the GOOD Music familia.
