My Brother MEans No Malice

When listening to Pusha T’s new album It’s Almost Dry. It’s undeniable that the album is a classic. It’s Pusha T at his best. It’s Pharell and Kanye at their best. I know that I’ve said in the past that Pusha T is stuck in this cocaine era . Read our article A Dope Boy’s Prison and you’ll see what I mean. The numbers are all in there. There’s charts. There’s analysis. But what should you expect? He proclaimed hismelf as “Cocaine’s Dr. Seuss” on the track “Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes” produced by legendary producer Pharell. This is him. I’ve grown into expecting that this is his lane. And this is the way he chooses to play the game. A game that fellow Clipse member and brother Malice chose to leave. But when you listen to the album you realize, the joker had a trick up his sleeve that was tucked away on the track “Pray For You”. 
Tell me what I missed
New designer drugs and emotions I don't get

I don't Hellcat, still paddle when I shift

Vietnam flashbacks, I get triggered by a sniff

Today's top fives only strengthenin' my myth

Belong on Rushmore just from chiselin' a brick

You saw that right Malice is back. But are the Clipse back? What’s interesting about Malice is that I always saw him as the front runner of the group. So it was surprising when he announced his departure from the game. Well, not a true departure. More of a rebranding as he changed his name to No Malice, he chose to leave the dope bars alone, and since being saved he wanted to focus more on praising God. But with the track “Pray For You” it was interesting to see that the featured artist listed his old name Malice. But isn’t that human? There’s both Good and bad in a person. Depending on the circumstances no one knows who will show up. Malice represents going back to his old ways. Bravado and drug dealing narration over church trap instruments. The drug dealers' gospel. 

As far as the verse. It’s just bars. From beginning to end. It’s so easy for him to spit these drug fueled lines that's so pure that hearing the first line is like a smokers reminisce on their first line. The way he just seems to float on the track. It’s muscle memory to him. I feel like one of the reasons he moved to more Christian rap is because it got to easy spit these cocaine bars. But maybe No Malice is also the evolution of an artist, as seen with Jay-Z becoming Jay Z. But I ain’t complaining. The bars speak for them self. Here's another one of those lines for your ears to sniff, “When I was in the mix, opened up your nose like I'm cuttin' it with Vicks.”. As you can see, the bars, the wordplay, the bravado that made him Malice. It’s all still there.

What brought Malice back? Why now? Why use his old name? No one knows. But for the fans. This is exactly what we need. And just maybe there might be a new Clipse album in the works.... Go listen to the track and let us know what you think of the track.
