Clipse’s Comeback and the Politics Behind Their Grammy Run

Clipse came back after a long break. Their new record, Let God Sort Em Out, arrived almost sixteen years after Til the Casket Drops. The duo didn’t treat this as a nostalgic throwback. Instead they jumped straight into the conversation for big awards.

Before the Grammy list was even out, Pusha T felt the album was strong enough to earn a trophy. He said the group needed to bring something home. His words showed they were aiming for a win, not just participation.

Malice saw things differently. He believed the brothers had already proved their skill with past work. He thought they were ready to take that proven artistry into the Grammy arena.

When the awards night arrived, Kendrick Lamar took the Best Rap Song prize, beating Clipse. Pusha T later commented that politics played a role in the outcome. He suggested the win wasn’t purely about music.
