Pusha brother nice too. You can’t be mad at dude wanting to better himself as a person.

Before they were “Grindin'” Malice and Pusha were painting vivid pictures of the highs and lows in the crack game. Over horns and the unmistakable hi-hats provided by a young Neptunes duo, The Brothers Thorton project a grim picture of the reality of the drug dealer persona that so many champion. This was over 15 years ago, to say The Clipse were ahead of their time is a gross understatement. The world was not ready for Exclusive Audio Footage, luckily in the digital age the project eventually saw the light of day. Peace to Skipp who got me reminiscing on “Funeral” the other night.
No Malice drops visuals for his retrospective and informative track “Bury That”. From his debut album Here Ye Him which dropped earlier this year, he sheds light regarding his relationship with his brother Pusha T. As a Christian, maybe I’m a little more sympathetic to the plight of No Malice. This industry is meant to be your God, period. It is increasingly difficult to be a successful musician and a Christian. But art intimidates life I guess, we live in a society where living as a Christian seems to be almost impossible. Pressure attacks you from all angles; stress, pride and envy are but a few tools which can be used to throw someone off their paths. And once you are on the right path, people are quick to throw stones and put everything in your live under a microscope. I suppose being a Christian means being perfect to some. Lord, knows I am certainly not that. I applaud No Malice for maintaining his faith and being in the open about it. Embrace your past and use it to build. Through our mishaps we can teach those behind us to not make the same mistakes. We can build instead of destroy.
Pusha T & Malice were on top of the world at one point in time, they had a HUGE single, a clothing sponsorship with BAPE and BBC, signed to the record label of the hottest producer in the game Pharrell. When the Neptunes dropped their Clones compilation, they took one of the underrated tracks from the Clipse Lord Willin’ album and remixed it. The result was a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Easily one of my favorite hip hop, “Posse” cuts. As a bonus below check out the Bilal assisted “Nightmares” track from Hell Hath no Fury.
