While at A3C, I ran into Malice, who was signing copies of his book Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind & Naked. As luck would have it, I had no cash on me to purchase it, but chopping it up with Mal was a memorable experience in its own. It’s always good to meet someone from Virginia who made it, but his newest vignette reveals not everyone feels the same sense of recognition. Read the rest of this entry »

Imagining Clipse not rapping about “‘caine and guns” seems hard to even consider but it looks like that’s the way things are headed, at least maybe for Malice. Read the rest of this entry »

When was the last time you heard or saw a rapper use the term “vignette”? Thought so. Mal’s one of the few trill and convincing enough to even attempt it.

G.O.O.D. Friday has been an epic occurrence in Hip-Hop lore. For the last few weeks, we’ve been exposed to classic records that have set the internet on fire every weekend. All but one of the tracks have come with a slew of guest appearances from artists that understand the importance of the music and have contributed some of the best verses of their careers.

Malice’s Vlogs have been pretty fascinating since their inception. You can tell by listening to his music that he lives or at least has lived what he raps about. These videos only accentuate the fact that Clipse have an innate ability to paint vivid and gripping pictures of the dope game. Read the rest of this entry »

Malice & Pusha sat down with XXL to discuss the advantageous situation of having first dibs on beatwork by Grade-A producers The Neptunes. It’s no different than having Michael Jordan for a dad or a chef for a spouse. Some of life’s little luxuries are yours for the taking and may even have you taking them for granted.

Record sales and industry accolades be damned. The blood-brotherly tandem of Gene “Malice” Thornton and Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton have maintained an admirable career on the basis of their consistency to bring lyrical prowess to the forefront in a genre which is slowly devaluing the occult. Unwilling to put even a raindrop to their creative flame, the Clipse exist in Hip-Hop as a dying breed–affirmed by their third studio album Til The Casket Drops. An album unique in its identity with all the wow factor (and drab moments) that best describe a Clipse excursion. Read the rest of this entry »

Another life lesson from Bro. Thorton. When I watch these, I can’t help but perceive them as veiled references towards that other thing.

Way too much going on in this clip. Maybe one of you Baby Einsteins can make me understand what the hell I just watched because I went from designer handbags to Read the rest of this entry »

Hmm…for a brief second, I thought I was taken away to the past & watching Bout It all over again against my will. But by the end of the clip, I got it. What started off as some confusing confessional, ended up leaving me impressed Read the rest of this entry »
