Clipse think that Tyler, the Creator is their biggest fan.
The group — who has merch supporting their upcoming album, Let God Sort Em Out, in the Complex Shop — sat down with Ebro Darden for Apple Music and conversed about their fans. “
“As a fan of the discography, Tyler is the number one Clipster,” Pusha T said. “He can tell me things about albums and the time periods and everything, from production to raps, when it comes to Clipse albums.”
On July 11, Tyler and other Clipsters can rejoice when the group’s long-awaited return album drops. The LP, fully produced by Pharrell Williams, was announced back in May with a lead single, “Ace Trumpets.”
In an interview with Popcast, No Malice and Pusha T reflected on their relationship with Chad Hugo, who was one half of the legendary Neptunes production duo, amidst his rumored fallout with Skateboard P.
“Absolutely miss Chad. As far as, you know, being on the album,” said No Malice. “But I’ll see Chad in the airport, in the street, at Buffalo Wild Wings, you know, in VA. Whatever they got going on, just hope for the best for that […] Whenever we see each other, it’s always still love. Always.”
Pusha T also chimed in candidly about Hugo’s impact on his group’s creative process.
“Everybody knows my favorite album is Hell Hath No Fury. Pharrell did that alone. That’s it […] Pharrell’s my guy, love Chad, too. We’re brothers, we came up together,” Pusha said. “But, you know, when you say missing in the music, there is no missing in the music when it comes to the Clipse. And if it’s just P, it don’t matter—we find what we find.”
This fall, Clipse will be going on tour in support of their new LP. Their trek will start in Boston on Aug. 3 and wrap up in Detroit on Sept. 10.
