Clipse Drop New ‘Let God Sort Them Out' Album, Hip-Hop Fans Rejoice On X
Let God Sort Them Out , the fourth album from the Brothers Thorton, is more of the pair's usual technical flair and clear diction, with the requisite brick talk that serves as a metaphor more than anything. With longtime producer and collaborator Pharrell Williams handling the entire bulk of production, the clear-eyed vision of Push and Malice never wavers.
The album opens with 'The Birds Don't Sing,' featuring John Legend and Voices of Fire. Pusha T opens up with a moving verse depicting the passing of his mother, mentioning his young son, while also referring to his brother by his given first name. Malice continues the autobiographical bent with his verse centering on their father.
An early crowd favorite follows in 'Chains & Whips,' which was previously heard last year when the brothers teased the track during a Louis Vuitton fashion show last year. However, the surprise appearance of Kendrick Lamar solidified the excitement, and K-Dot delivers a sinister verse that may or may not be directed toward a certain Canadian superstar.
According to X, other highlights include 'P.O.V.' featuring a blistering verse from Tyler, The Creator, the previously-released 'Ace Trumpets,' and 'Inglorious Bastards' featuring their longtime partner, Ab-Liva. Nas also shows up on the track 'Chandeliers,' which appears on the tail end of the strong album title cut. Stove God Cooks, who works alongside Westside Gunn and the sprawling Griselda collective, shows up for 'F.I.C.O.,' as he's one of the top 'coke rap' stars in the game now.
We've got reactions from X to Clipse dropping their new Let God Sort Them Out project below.

What to do in Chicago: Blackpink, Phish and the Renegade Craft Fair
Our picks for events in and around Chicago this weekend. Blackpink in your area … specifically Soldier Field. The K-pop phenomenon — Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo — roll into town on the heels of the release of their latest single, 'Jump.' It's been out for about a week and has been streamed about 40 million times on Spotify. Get ready to considered heirs of the Grateful Dead more than 40 years after the band's Vermont founding, Phish has become its own thing. Jam with them this weekend during their three-night stand at the United Center. Can't make it, but still a die-hard fan? Watch their webcasts — but is it really the same?Dance on the beach to Claptone, Hayden James and more EDM at Volleywood. It's a 21+ party promising 'pure summer chaos in the heart of the city' along with a silent back at the Hideout this weekend with Chicago-based Brittney Carter and two Louisville artists, Horace Gaither and Otez. Groove to their personal blends of rap and mellow wraps up a seven-week run on July 19 with Teatro ZinZanni's ongoing latest production of 'Love, Chaos, and Dinner.' Perhaps best known from 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' BenDeLaCreme got her start in Chicago while a student at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Expect circus arts, comedy, live music and comedian Louis Katz delivers his rapid-fire style of stand-up at Zanies this weekend. In an era when stand-up comedy can veer into confessional storytelling, Katz is a bit of a throwback. In his act, it's all about the you could go to a club show without going to a club? Go to West Fest: Empty Bottle programs its two stages. In addition to the usual summer festival fixings — food, music, craft vendors and kids activities — swing by for Pet Fest. Your pup can try out an obstacle course, paw painting and sniff around for other pet demos and for Renegade Craft Fair in Logan Square this weekend, its latest marketplace. More than 250 artists and artisans will offer their wares, from felted mushrooms and handcrafted leather footwear to tattoo art and maybe you prefer the thrill of the hunt. Head to Andersonville for its Vintage Market, featuring a lot of old stuff, from vintage kitsch to antique treasures. This is also a good option if you want to browse an outdoor market but the prospect of Renegade overwhelms. The Vintage Market features a manageable 30-some weekend doesn't really end on Sunday in the summertime, right? Stretch it into Tuesday or Wednesday with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Karen O and the rest of the gang will play the Chicago Theatre — and chances are, they'll play 'Maps,' their decades-old song that went viral last fall on social media.

Rakim Responds to Kendrick Lamar's ‘Chains & Whips' Name-Drop: ‘I Salute You, King'
Rap's professor emeritus Rakim responded to Kendrick Lamar name-dropping him on his 'Chains & Whips' guest verse from the Clipse's new album Let God Sort Em Out. In the verse, Lamar suggested he might consider splitting his riches with the rapper thanks to his influence over the modern rap scene. 'The things I've seen under my eyelids/ Kaleidoscope dreams, murder, and sirens,' Lamar rapped. 'Let's be clear, hip-hop died again/ Half of my profits may go to Rakim.' More from Billboard aespa Blast Baddies in Video For 'Dark Arts' Single Collab with KRAFTON's PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Battle Royale Game Joyner Lucas Replies to Skepta With Fiery 'Nobody Cares' Diss Track: 'We Don't Play Your S-t in the States' Watch a Tween Justin Bieber Predict His Pivot to R&B in 2008 Interview Rakim took to his Instagram over the weekend to post a video of Lamar driving his Porsche with his verse playing and expressed his appreciation for the acknowledgement. 'I salute you king,' he wrote. 'Thanks for the illest shout I heard in a long time, and keep up the incredible work my brother, you ain't no joke!!!! Peace and blessings to you and yours.' This isn't the first time the rap legend saluted Kendrick. During an interview with Billboard last year, he was asked about Lamar's battle with Drake and showed love to both of them for stepping into the ring and keeping it hip-hop. 'You know, a lot of people in that position won't accept no challenge, because they got too much to lose,' he said. 'So, it was dope that these brothers put the mainstream success down and said, 'Yeah, let's do it.'' Rakim continued, adding that the battle helped define the difference between 'real hip-hop' and more modern, popular versions of the artform. 'Younger artists now know that there's a difference. A lot of them didn't even understand that,' he said. 'They just listened to the majority, not knowing that a lot of people don't categorize what they were hearing as real hip-hop. The battle was very needed for the genre. I tip my hat to them brothers. Let's just hope that it stays to the music.' In related Drake and Kendrick news, the former just finished headlining London's Wireless festival for three days, while the latter is in the midst of the European leg of his Grand National Tour with SZA.
