Starting point is 00:00:04 We was back and forth, down streamline. Moving weight was like lipo. The rest of y'all stuck in a rut. People double crossing talking behind your back. See, that's where the knife go. I guess they wasn't messing with us. Some people get the luck of the draw for others. Life is a dice roll.
Starting point is 00:00:29 And waiting on faith ain't for us. And you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you one thing. When it comes to those type of bars, it is layered all over this project because usually I do not give reviews for albums. I usually let people hear my coverage of the analytics success on the billboards and things
Starting point is 00:00:55 of that nature because I usually gauge consumption compared to the superstars in the industry. But this is a full-blown review because I'll. like this project that much as far as rap is one of my favorite projects i will say russ and his album wild is still my favorite rap project in 2025 but pushy tea and malice what they did as a group as far as clips and this album let god sort them out is beyond phenomenal and especially this being the first clips album in 15 years and having legends like size seven i mean kentrick lamar having legends like naz having legends like john legend pun intended tyler the creator the dream getting the dream to give you vocals
Starting point is 00:01:47 i think biance has him locked away and not a dungeon you know the thing that she you know how to talk people talk about the ovo sweat shop and how drake has ghost riders in the in the basement whatever whatever Beyonce has the dream locked up let's just say is more upscale than a basement she has them locked away in a five-star mansion writing all the hits possible for Beyonce right so I think the dream's pin is maybe the best pin in the music industry and I've always grew up like I didn't grow up on a dream because you know he's older but as far as listening to his music I always really respected the dream's music and then he just stopped and it come to realize he's been writing for biance since then so ultimately some people like fame some people
Starting point is 00:02:37 would take the money without the fame i'm definitely one of those people if there's some way where somebody else could be talking i could be behind the scenes like the dream and making money that would be the the perfect scenario because really fame is overrated it's all about the fetichini and safety as far as for that the dream has both because best believe writing for bianca brings in a lot of dollars for him and all he has to do is sit behind the scene and write phenomenal lyrics for biances so anyways getting back into other phenomenal writers what the what push it to your malice did on this album is beyond phenomenal i mean when it comes to the album is not even that long it's 13 tracks 40 minutes in length straight bars and filled with some of the best hip-hop beats you've heard in your life and i say that
Starting point is 00:03:28 with all sincerity because when it comes to recency bias you could probably be thinking well this album just came out Friday why would you give it some time after listening to chains and whips after listening to Fico after listening to POV especially the beat flip when malice hops on the beat you come to realize that Feral was beyond in his Louie when he made this album This man was ultimately lacing the clips with some of the greatest hip-hop beats of all time. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:04:07 And then some of my favorite hard-hitting tracks from this project is definitely FICO, which I already read off the lyrics at the beginning of this segment. The second one would probably be POV. I really like that track. And then the third is hard because I really like replayability. From a quality standpoint, I think the birds don't sing. as top two but from a replayable standpoint it's probably it's probably the least replayable it's because you know it's such a hard-hitting message so you know if you're in the car riding i would
Starting point is 00:04:39 definitely throw on fico if you're in the car writing i definitely would not throw on the birds don't sing because the chorus is phenomenal shout out to john legend for that but when it comes to the message and then realizing that mal isn't push it to your brothers right sometimes that gets lost in translation you probably think of like man push the tea really has different vocal inflection throughout this entire project and then you come to realize malice is his brother so they say they sound similar there's a reason why sometimes you can't tell when the other is rapping because they sound exactly the same because they're brothers so now when they make a song about their parents
Starting point is 00:05:15 passing away with a with a short um interlude between I guess interlude is definitely an sense of this wrong word but as far as a short time span between each other passing away that is very impactful on not only pusher but also malice because once again they're brothers that just so happened to be able to put words together at a mat on a master class level as far as lyrical content so another thing i wanted to say Sean carter was invited for this album apparently push a t sent him chains and whips and i think that was only track he he sent him chains and whips and there was another track he sent him i think it was the the acronym track the mtbtf i forget what that stands for him but uh he sent both of those tracks to j z j z did not show up now i don't think
Starting point is 00:06:05 it was like oh forget these guys it was basically probably um maybe j z was busy right or you know now i get my messy brain right pause you know what i'm saying you guys but at the end of the day i do believe j z heard some of the lyrical vitriol that was being spey all over this album and he probably said to himself I know that ain't who I think it is Pharrell Williams push a T and who I know that ain't who I think it is all going crazy on every single one of these tracks
Starting point is 00:06:35 on this project you know what let me just bow bow out because guess what I think of Jay Z would have hopped on this track I'm not saying that he's rusty or anything because he did give us the phenomenal verse on God did but push it to your malice I think would have gave Jay-Z such a run for his money
Starting point is 00:06:56 that maybe, just maybe, Jay-Z felt like his verse wouldn't have been up to snuff when compared to Pusha T and Malice. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? Now, ultimately, that's a hot take, right? But at the end of the day, that's how I truly feel.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Jay-Z, Push-a-T has always been close. I don't think he has any animosity towards these people. I think he probably just heard the project. heard the tracks that they sent him, especially chains and whips. Like you heard that Kendra came on, like, pause. I mean, come on now. You guys. See, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But you heard how Kendrick approached the beat, let's just say it like that. And basically took a lot of inspiration on how malice and pushes he approached the beat as far as the very interesting tone that they went with, very maniacal and villain-like. It's like if the Joker and the Riddler started rapping. happening as far as Kendrick he had to really replicate that type of villain energy on chains and whips and i'm not saying that jZ didn't have it in him i'm just saying that maybe just maybe he's a little afraid of the competition now of course that's just me being funny but at the end the day um i could see that being a reason why he didn't send in his sin in his verse in time
Starting point is 00:08:12 because he probably was trying to punch up his verse um jzy does one takes i don't know but you know as far as him being out of the game and giving a verse every other year, he probably wanted to punch up his verse a little bit to make it up to snuff. Because here, push a tee and malice is like basically combating one another over the entire project. And people who are not lyricists don't understand that when you have another lyricist in the room, it's way harder to make a verse. Because now if you hear their verse and your verse is straight inferior to theirs, like not even close, then you got to redo your verse. So I'm not saying that Jay-Z ran into that problem. I'm just saying that he was probably trying to punch up his verse to a certain quality level that he felt was deserving to be on this project. And that's how I would put it, because this is one of the best rap projects that I've heard in a minute.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And Push-A-T has the cheat code in hip-hop. This is the last thing I'm going to say, because it's not an in-depth review. I don't even do reviews of albums anymore. So me just straight talking about my personal listening session of this album is not common. So when his album came out, it made me realize it's almost dry had Pharrell Williams and Kanye West production. Daytona had Kanye West production, no matter what people say about how trash it was, still had Kanye West production all over it. So from 2018 to 2025, you're telling me you had Kanye West and Farrell Williams producing your beats? Ladies gentlemen, that's the greatest cheat code in hip-hop history.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Do y'all not know that a beat, a phenomenal beat, is half the battle. Not to sound like G.I. Joe, but literally, if you don't have a phenomenal beat, you've already lost half the battle. And there's an uphill battle from there. If you're working with some of the worst beats known the man, that Little Wayne, y'all know that the verses on that elephant beat was fire. And don't let nobody else tell you differently, because Little Wayne was spitting straight heat on that entire album. But when it comes to the elephant beat, everybody killed it. Why?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Because that's half the battle. And so since you lost that, it's already an uphill battle. And even Little Wayne couldn't overcome the setback of the elephant beat. So now, if you have Kanye West, if you have Ferrell Williams type production, safe to say, that's the biggest cheat code and hip hop. But Pusha Tea and Malice, well, specifically Pushy Tea, consistently gets these types of type of production level, these high level beats because he can rap. So when the beat happens and it's phenomenal because Ferrell Williams or Kanye West, Pusherty is such a phenomenal lyricist that he consistently gets them to cook up live to give
Starting point is 00:11:04 them these type of beats because the respect they have for his pin is unmatched. It's almost like the dream pin, but in the rap game. That's how Pushy T is perceived as far as his lyrical content. I mean, just look how he did my favorite artist. You know what I'm saying? The story of Adadon to this day is one of those PTSD-type memories that World War II veterans have when they wake up at the middle of the night in a cold sweat, right? We just think story of Adidon and we automatically start thinking, oh, my goodness,
Starting point is 00:11:35 I can't believe Pusha T that did that to my favorite artist. Like, it's really crazy. You know, there's no comparison to what Side 7 did. but you know of course that's why he showed up on this project he's like hey i just did what i just did to him what you did hey we should you know what i'm saying and that's how it basically happened but obviously not exactly how it happened but i think they took joy in that both of them completely mutilated you know the canadian verbally so with that being said the chains of whips track is one of the standouts already said fico uh p ov is some of my favorites off of the project
Starting point is 00:12:07 fico about i'm not going to say by far the entire project is super fired definitely one of my favorite projects of the year as far as a deep dive i would probably be here for an hour just breaking this down so i just definitely want to give my personal uh review of it and as y'all well first click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you all think of the push a tea album let well the clips album let god sort them out and if you've listened to the project what is your favorite track off of let god sort them out
