Malice finally revealed what the look that he usually has on his face means when he hears Pusha T talking crazy.
The Clipse hopped on Reddit for an Ask Me Anything session where they responded to fans’ serious questions and more lighthearted inquiries for advice. One user questioned Malice about his thoughts on Pusha T’s abrasive talk, writing, “Malice what’s going through your mind when you hear Push talk smack in interviews or on tracks? I’ve noticed you have a particular look on your face.”
Malice responded with a simple, supportive answer. “I let my brother cook,” he wrote. “I’m just seeing the same person I have now my entire life, be himself.”
During the lead-up to the release of their return album Let God Sort Em Out, Clipse have done interviews and lyric breakdowns that have featured Pusha T, for lack of better words, talking his shit.
While he’s lashing out at the culture, and specific rappers, Malice can be seen in the background with a look on his face as if he’s about to laugh at Pusha T’s boldness — so his explanation is practically a cosign for his younger brother’s wilder tendencies.
Elsewhere in their recent AMA, the two opened up about some of their preferences. When asked what their favorite beats they’ve ever rapped on, Pusha T revealed his favorite to be “Let The Smokers Shine the Coupes” while Malice chose “Pussy.”
The two also revealed what they listen to outside of rap music: Pusha T listens to Sade while Malice listens to Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Killers.
Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out is out now. Ahead of its release, Complex spoke to Clipse and Pharrell (who produced the album) about its creation in a cover story. Skateboard P revealed that he was inspired by Martin Scorsese’s mob drama The Irishman while creating it.
“That shit changed me…I saw Scorsese… this guy doesn’t fucking miss, and he just gets better with time,” said Pharrell. “That doesn’t happen in rap.”
During the cover story interview, Malice also spoke about aging in the hip-hop world. “I think hip-hop has kind of jinxed itself into thinking there is such a thing as too old, and that it should never be accepted,” he said. “Either you got the talent or you don’t. You could be old. You could be young. If you ain’t got it, then you don’t have it. You don’t stay young forever, and if you try to stay young forever, you start looking funny.”
