HipHoOfficial brings us part 2 of their interview with the Clipse detailing their dealings with Kanye, the upcoming album and the spirit of competition within the Re-Up Gang
The Clipse talk to HipHopOfficial about the usuals: Their Style, their wordplay and modestly tip toe around why they are so much better than everyone else.
Globe trotting Ferris Buellermanages to catch Pusha T in a contemplative mood during the “I’m Good” Video shoot. As he rests between shots, you can catch Pusha waxing poetic about discretionary spending in a less than robust economy. The vid is sandwiched between nonsensical banter between Ferris and Steven Victor about their twitter conversations. We wouldn’t usually advise you to skip to the good parts of a video, but we don’t think you’re interested in their internet catfight.
Clipse have been hitting stages across America in preparation for the onslaught of the upcoming album. Just recently the headlined at The Nokia Theater in Los Angeles gracing the stage with upstart west coaster Diz Gibran and Skata ternt Rappa, Terry Kennedy. Myspace managed to catch up with all the evening’s participants for short interviews.
How many Clipse interviews can you fit on one blog? I’m shooting for world record status.
In this world of viral video its kind of hard to pay much credence to a radio interview. The radio is starting to become an archaic way of gaining access to information akin to getting your news from a toaster oven. Listen closely to your radios tho and you can find a few gems, like this Pusha T interview with Bootleg Kev on Idaho’s 101.1. They delve into issues that you rarely hear Pusha tackle, like the Re-Up Gang album and Sandman’s departure.

With all the self aggrandizing and social tap dancing that we at Play Cloths and the Clipse respectively have to to do to keep our brands prominent, the realization that friends, family and fans are the reason that we exist at all is never to far from our minds.
Ferris Bueller has been a friend of the Clipse and PC since day zero. Check out his site where he displays the best of fashion, culture and things that i can’t afford or may have stolen and sold on ebay in weeks past.
Also check out the above clip where the Clipse put him on blast for not wearing his Play Cloths and he subsequently puts me on blast for not giving him any.
The next video will be of me jump kicking Ferris Bueller in the neck.
The brothers Thornton are about to start the grueling procees of making the rounds promoting the new album. A select group of internet saavy fans were able find their way to an invite only showing by the Clipse at NYC’s Webster Hall. Streetlevel.com caught up with the guys and shot off a few questions about Play Cloths and the new album before they hit the stage.
Y’all debuted Play Cloths at Magic in ‘08. How have you been refining it since then?
P: We just been trying to get on calendar with the s***. This is our third season out and this is our first season on calendar with summer. We’ve already sold it. It’s great. People love it. The first two seasons were just as good too. It looked really good in the stores and everybody liked it so [we're] just pushing forward and creating more and preparing for the future.
Check out the rest of the interview here.
During the Clipse’s stop at the Canadian Play Cloths outpost Livestock , Vice magazine sent Shaggy from Scooby Doo, or a close faximilie (kidding Patrick), for a pretty comprehensive interview covering everything from the status of the album to the infamous Pitchfork Response.
Well Done
