Why did clipse split up

Music president speaks on his life and career, but goes into great detail about how the Clipse broke up. Pusha T detailed how his brother No Malice's mindset changed and how it eventually led to the Clipse being no more. I was like, 'Wow ok. Now you wrote a book. You know I can't write no book. You're just trying to stunt on me once again or do something you know I can't do. And he was like, 'Yo, this is what I'm about to dial into and this is what I wanna do.

Once they hit the sandy shores, life turned into Snowfall. A few streets over from their middle-class neighborhood in Bridle Creek, kids their age would have candy-painted cars, inspiring them to start pushing ivory white. He started rapping solo and made a group named Jarvis. Malice did a brief stint in the army and once he came home, the two christened themselves The Clipse, eager to show the world what cocaine dealers that grew up in Virginia sound like. They spent the better part of three years working on an album, Exclusive Audio Footage , from a blueprint that would become central to their music: autobiographical raps about the beauty and horrors of cocaine set to the burnt disco sounds of The Neptunes.

Clipse was back to square one. Luckily, failure gets erased eventually with enough success. The world was finally tuned in, eager to see what was coming next. Only, it would take four long, cold years for it to finally arrive. But before they could finish it up, shit hit the fan. The pieces began moving. Star Trak Entertainment was moved to Interscope Records and, because of contractual obligations, Clipse were forced to remain with Jive.

Sure, like everyone else in America, I pounded out the "Grindin" beat on any available surface. This was the gospel of street music, coke rap on a spiritual level. Feel free to tell me " Keys Open Doors " isn't one of the most perfect rap songs ever created if you're looking for a fight.

Three years passed before their next album because of well-documented label problems, and then just when I was hoping for a resurgence, Clipse broke up. Well, maybe not "broke up," but retired as a duo. I assumed it was for the usual reasons.

Being in a duo is tough even when the other guy is your brother, especially when one brother is finding religion, but this new HipHopDX interview reveals Malice now No Malice left Clipse for a much more intimidating reason. The world finally catches up with alternative artist Johnny Drille.

But you may try to say that, but certain things start to stick. You might start seeing, you talk about dope on record, you might start seeing an indictment or something like that. I guess it's that age old question, 'Does art imitate life or is life imitating art? I absolutely know that there is nothing malice about me, or who I'm supposed to be.
