A REVIEW. 5 THINGS ABOUT CLIPSE "LET GOD SORT EM OUT"

You too late, It’s Benny and here are my thoughts on Clipse latest album “Let God Sort Em Out.” I could’ve been like one of those writing ass niggas that carry tiny notebooks with them everywhere they go who eat pastrami sandwiches and have goofy looking mustaches when I wrote this but I gotta go to the barbershop and then drive around in a fresh white tee and grace society with my handsomness. I don’t have time to write a long ass novel so I’ll try to make this as quick, random and painless as possible. You’re welcome. 

I left a pyrex out on my stove for Crack Claus and the Clipse delivered with this album. I’m from a family of former drug dealers. This Clipse album is like Christmas for real niggas. To some of you it’s just music. To me this is recollection. My dad bought me “Lord Willin” the first day it dropped. Took me to best buy and I will never forget that day. I remember seeing the “When the last time” music video on BET (When BET was owned by niggas) and the snippet of the song “Virginia” that played at the end of the music video and I got up and attempted to sell cocaine at that very moment. I prayed to God to not only let me get the Clipse debut album but I asked the lord to let me find a plug to front me some work. Seeing the Clipse deliver art like this 23 years later gets my blood pumping. I’m looking at my digital scale as I type this. 

Malice just had one of the greatest performances on an album I’ve ever seen in my fucking life. Seeing this nigga that gave his life to Jesus leave earth on every fucking song on this album is making me want to go to church 7 days a week. Nigga I’m bout to go to the goodwill right now and get me a deacon looking ass suit, go pray for all these fuck niggas and then go straight to the studio. Malice has inspired me so much with his performance on this album. The Mason Betha line, His flow on the beat switch up on the track “P.O.V.” “Came back for the money that’s the devil in me, had to hide it from the church that’s the Jekyll in me.” DO YALL HEAR THIS NIGGA???? He really showed that he’s the big brother. Pusha did his thing too but Malice was on some Brother Mouzone from The Wire shit on this album. He caught more bodies than a Chinese cemetery. Malice is 52 years old rapping like this. Hip-Hop is to the death. Don’t let any of these dorks on the internet tell you different. 

All of the features delivered on this album. Kendrick was Kendrick. I think the most impressive thing about Kendrick to me is that he still gives a fuck. I don’t listen to Kendrick as much as I used to but to see him treat every feature verse or project with care is dope. Some artists get success and praise and then start to slack off and phone it in. Dot is in legend territory and he could really take it easy. Dot hasn’t done that and I feel that’s his best quality. He’s still hungry. I love the therapy line he had on this album cause I truly don’t give a fuck either. Tyler’s feature verse was interesting. I wasn’t expecting that from him. I don’t know who he was talking about (Kanye, Drake, maybe) but Tyler was rapping like he had this verse specifically for a Clipse album if it ever came to fruition. Stove God Cooks was the perfect puzzle piece on “F.I.C.O” Hearing Ab-Liva rapping on this album made me dust off my “We Got It 4 Cheap” mixtapes. The real niggas know bout that era. Nas showing us why he’s a hall of famer and deserves to be in every top 3 all time hip-hop list on Chandeliers. Every feature fit and wasn’t forced. 

In the same voice and energy of Will Smith in Bad Boys, NOW THAT’S HOW YOU PRODUCE!! FROM NOW ON PHARRELL THAT’S HOW YOU PRODUCE!! This nigga Pharrell was really producing like “YOU THINK I’M PUSSY?” and proceeded to bring out drums that he ain’t used since Kanye used to be a black man. He saw the “This nigga Pharrell needs Chad Hugo” talk and really produced with a point to prove. People forgot that Pharrell produced all of “Hell Hath No Fury” by himself and that in my opinion is Clipse best album. Pharrell was on those piano keys on LGSEO like Duck in Five Heartbeats when Eddie King Jr had that bitch in the front row wetter than a jheri curl in the 80’s. Pharrell is in my DNA as a creative. He taught me how to create. “In My Mind” is my bible. N.E.R.D albums opened my eyes to different genres. Pharrell is the greatest rapping producer to me. He is the only human on earth that I’d probably be speechless with when I meet him. The rest of you niggas it’s whatever cause yall just niggas to me but Skateboard P is the reason why I do every fabric of creativity I do. He was really producing out his mind on this latest Clipse album while niggas was in that office sewing Cherry Monogram bags regular niggas can’t afford. 

I like how Pusha-T hates weakness. Not weakness in the sense of sick people or vulnerability but weakness in the sense of “Why did you choose to be a bitch ass nigga when you had all these options?” He looks at people with access to so many resources the common human don’t have and people who are blessed with gifts and is disappointed that despite using their blessings for good they chose to be a hoe ass pussy ass lame ass nigga. I never knew I related to Pusha this much. I’ve been listening to him for 23 years and I’m now realizing this. I too look at niggas and bitches doing their monkey dance on the internet as behavior that is beneath me and disgust me. Pusha raps with that mindset all of LGSEO and I love that nigga for it. 

This album is expensive taste. It makes me wanna indulge in sniffing blow off a chocolate woman booty cheeks and then go on a shopping spree geeked outta my mind and order my weight in garlic bread from the most expensive restaurant I can find. I would never do coke but this album is so fucking great I might put cocaine activities on my bucket list. I will be at the LGSEO tour in a 3XL Re-Up Gang Tee and evisu jeans yelling every verse for every song. Thank you Clipse for not only a great album but a great consistent career. It is an honor to be a fan since the beginning beating on lunch tables.

Love, Benny
