Clipse discusses receiving five Grammy nominations for the album Let God Sort ‘Em Out, what inspired the duo’s comeback and return after a 15-year hiatus, and what’s coming next in conversation with Billboard‘s senior director of hip-hop and R&B, Carl Lamarre.
Carl Lamarre: Listen, I took my glasses off for this because these brothers out here, like they are demonstrating in real time. We were talking about longevity, excellence in the space. They have four albums that they put out, all classics, if we’re being honest. But this one right here was a master work, Let God Sort ‘Em out. Nominated for five Grammys, we’re taking something home tomorrow. I don’t think you heard me, we taking something home tomorrow. So without further ado, you know it is my honor and Billboard‘s honor to Bring out Pusha T, Malice, Clipse.
Malice: How y’all feeling?
I feel the trophy energy. I mean, before I like, I even, like, fully dive in, like we are literally 24 hours away from the Grammys. How are you guys feeling?
Pusha T: Lucky.
Malice?
Malice: I feel good. I feel blessed. You know, glad to be here.
When you guys think of the number five, knowing that you guys are putting 20 years in, like, how special is this moment for you guys at this stage of your career?
Pusha T: I mean, it’s extremely special. You know, I feel like this happening with Clipse, you know, me being with my brother is the only way it should be, honestly. And even, you know, just just doing this with Pharrell and us collectively — you know, just being together — it feels like, man, high school.
