Pusha T confirmed what we knew. For the longest, Clipse kept talking about waiting for the last verse they needed. I knew it was Jay! I knew it was Jay! But, then this Kendrick thing popped up and I just assumed my rumor was wrong. But lo-and-behold, they revealed JAY-Z was “invited” to be on the project.
Jay never responded with a verse.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Pusha T told Charlamagne tha God that JAY-Z was sent multiple tracks for potential inclusion on the project, which dropped July 11.
“He was sent ‘Chains & Whips,’ ‘Mike Tyson Blow To The Face’..whole that album…it was all for him to.. whatever he wanted to do,” Pusha explained. It was an open invitation to join in on any track he chose.
When Charlamagne asked, “And nothing moved his spirit?” Pusha only said, “I don’t know.” Dag. I wish we could have had gotten that. I do no think anybody would have washed Jay, even though people are joking Malice would have. But, Clipse let all their features shine.
The Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out already boasts a stacked lineup of elite collaborators. Kendrick Lamar, Nas, John Legend, Pharrell Williams, Tyler, The Creator, Voices of Fire, The-Dream, Stove God Cooks and Ab-Liva. JAY-Z was not missed, but he would have added so much. But what was the hold up? Nobody knows.
Jay has not yet addressed the matter publicly.
But he has worked with Push in the past. His collaborations like “Drug Dealers Anonymous” and “Neck & Wrist” are classics. We are hoping for a re-up, gang! Let’s come through on a deluxe version!
They are already on Roc Nation, so there is hope!
What’s clear is that Pusha T put it out there. Maybe Jay is just fashionably late.
Jay-Z was actually supposed to be on the new Clipse album but he never sent a verse back 🚨
