Hip-Hop Rumors: Malice Halts Clipse Reunion!

Wow. We have seen rappers come and go with their religious views. Most of them dip and dabble, but it seems ilke Malice is the genuine article. He’s basically refusing to do it, even though it almost guarantees him substantial wealth. Not that money is everything. But, this is what Pusha had to say to the BBC (the irony):

“My brother is really on his mission right now. Listen, listen to how real this is. Listen to how real it is though. We had the 10th anniversary of Lord Willin’. 30 dates, needless to say, high dollar. High dollar, already done. Two weeks before it was time to go, my brother was like, ‘Nah, I don’t want to do it. I’m off that, I’m on my mission right now.’ You know, it’s about [his album] Hear Ye Him, it’s abotu where he is spiritually and he was like, ‘Nah, I’m not going to do it. Just go ahead.’ I asked him, now I had to do Coachella, 70,000, right? I’m like, ‘Yo, I’d love to bring you out.’ And he was like, all right, what song do you want to do?’ You know me, I want to do, ‘Keys Open Doors’ — he’s like, ‘Nah, I don’t really, I’m not really feeling that.'”

We haven’t officially heard from No Malice, but even Kanye and Pharrell couldn’t get him out.

“On top of those scenarios I already gave you, you got Pharrell saying, ‘Hey, when y’all ready, let’s go.’ And I think we should just do a two-sided, you know, the tale of two stories. He was like, ‘You do what you do, he do what he do, and that’s what you do.’ Kanye’s like, ‘I want to executive produce this but if you want Pharrell to do the whole thing, that’s fine, if not, I’ll just be here too.’ And he’s like, ‘Not right now.’ [laughs] Mind you, this is the same person I talk to every other morning about my mom, nephews, nieces – you know, hey, where you at? … I don’t think it’s anything holding him back, he just put out Hear Ye Him, a gospel album. I just feel like that’s where he is. My brother, his spirituality right now is next level. … There’s things going on in life that are pushing him in that direction.”

Can’t fault him for this. I do think he could tweak it a bit so that he could get his message to the masses in a tricky way.

“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

Illseed, Out.
