Finally. After shifting gears to focus on spiritual matters rather than music, Pusha T’s big brother Malice appears ready to dive back into the Hip-Hop pool. That’s right, folks, the Clipse are back together and will reunite for a new Re-Up Gang mixtape titled Long Live The Cain. The project will feature Push and Mal (and the less-heralded Ab-Liva) together for the first time since 2009′s ‘Till The Casket Drops.
Pusha discusses the mixtape in a candid interview with Fuse, stating that “Long Live The Cain is going to to go back to something you guys know as the Re-Up Gang.” Judging by the title of the mixtape and the history preceding it, expect a lot of cocaine-laced lyrics. Nothing too ignorant; consider it a thinking man’s trap-rap. The real story, of course, is how Malice sounds after such an extended hiatus. What made The Clipse work so well was his introspection blended with Pusha’s hubris. The two complemented each other perfectly. Despite the long absence, my money is on a banger since the Thornton brothers have continually shown they know a thing or two about Hip-Hop. As a reminder of what we’re in for, we’ll throw in “Roll With Da Winners,” one of my favorite WGI4C tracks, for reference purposes.


“What made The Clipse work so well was his introspection blended with Pusha’s hubris.”
I kind of hate when people divide them up that way. Both were good at both. It’s not as one-sided as people make out.
Sheeeit, lol.
Meh. Agree to disagree. Not to say that Malice didn’t have swag, but Pusha always talked cash shit at the beginning and ending of every track.
Yeah, listen to “Nightmares” from HHNF and both display that introspection very well.
I’ve been on a Clipse binge lately so I’m not mad at this news.
Mal was always more grounded while Pusha brought a lot of flamboyancy.
Again, I’m not necessarily disagreeing with that. That being said there are plenty of groups where each member has a clearly defined purpose/identity/nice that they don’t necessarily have the skills to break out of. The dichotomy of the Clipse was never so cut and dry.
I had no idea that Malice was 40, I am psyched for this though but I think I’ll miss Sandman’s CANNOOOOOOOOOOOOONS on records.
Yeah! Sandman is dope!
Maybe DJ Clue can get Sandman to come back to the Re-up Gang.
yeah, what’s the story with that? was unsure why he wasn’t a part of this.
@AJ
Sandman was unhappy with the results of the Re-up Gang’s retail album, so he left. I don’t think there’s any bad blood from either side. I was just making a shitty Money Team joke.
Man Somebody get Fam-Lay and Roscoe P Coldchain
Pretty sure Roscoe’s in prison.
Yeah, Roscoe’s in prison.
Mal definitely talked about fly shit and dropping bodies as well though. I imagine there will be SOME difference, but not in quality. I mean, last I remember, Malice was in the process of changing his name too. I don’t know if he decided against that or not, but yeah.
