Clipse Suggest Travis Scott “Cheated” By Competing With Their Album Release

Clipse have had one other banner yr regardless of going inactive for about 16 years. They proved that hip-hop will not be a younger man’s recreation within the slightest, dropping considered one of greatest albums of the last decade and arguably this century. They returned with Let God Type Em Out, a grand reintroduction for anybody forgot simply how particular the Virginia duo was within the 2000s.

However on high of the excellent music, Clipse, primarily Pusha T, determined to specific how he is felt about a few of the rappers that dominate this period. All through the press run for LGSEO, he largely took goal at one Travis Scott. As soon as G.O.O.D. Music brethren, they’re now something however.

In latest previous discussions concerning the album’s creation, King Push sounded off on La Flame, whereas revealing how he interrupted Clipse’s and Pharrell‘s studio periods. He pointed to at least one occasion the place Scott performed a few of UTOPIA, together with “MELTDOWN” with out Drake‘s diss-heavy verse for P and Pusha.

It actually caught in his craw then, however he selected to speak about it with the album on the way in which on the time. Notably, he known as Travis a “whore” for the shady maneuver. People have been questioning if and the way Travis would reply, particularly contemplating that he is probably not one to interact in rap beefs.

However the extra pronounced retort got here with Travis not-so-sneakily dropping his challenge, JACKBOYS 2, on the identical weekend as LGSEO. Within the Houston native’s thoughts, he probably thinks he took the W in opposition to Pusha, outselling his album by over 100,000 models.

The brothers have been requested concerning the rollout throughout their particular interview for GQ‘s Males of the 12 months 30 situation.

Malice was a bit extra open to Scott’s problem including, “Hear, everyone has a proper to do what they do. No matter you have got the ability to do, no matter instruments it’s important to make the most of. That goes for everyone, even us. Let’s simply play and see what it’s. We embrace all of it and find it irresistible all. Ain’t no sitting round moping and wishing—nah, let’s rock.”

It is value noting that neither the interviewer nor Clipse immediately mentions Travis. However given their responses, it is nonetheless fairly clearly about their Southern rap foe.
