Score for The Clipse.
The Virginia boys are making the rounds for their new set ’Til the Casket Drops, and got a major coup with a supremely creative Complex mag cover. The most interesting thing about the cover story is when they go after less talented artist who blow up the web weekly with new mix-tapes.
Check out their words below.
Complex: In this new age of the industry, where you have artists getting signed off one single, there are rappers just putting more and more music out. There are people on Nah Right that drop like 13 songs a week. You guys seem more…
Malice: Because we care about it, man. We can do everything they’re doing now. I mean, we can put out an album in a week. We can do that. But I wouldn’t be happy with it. I think our songs, our albums, singles, even the mixtapes, everything is handcrafted.
Pusha: Yeah, I think that stuff sucks too.
Malice: [Laughs.]
Pusha: All of that music I’m seeing every fucking day…all these 50,000 mixtapes. With not one gem on it.
Complex: Yeah, it makes it very disposable.
Pusha: Come on…You’re ruining it. You’re pissing me off.Malice: Then making 50 songs, and throwing away 30 that don’t make the album. It’s like, What were you thinking when you were writing those?
Pusha: Stupid! Hey, stupid!
Malice: When we make a track, we loved it from the beginning.
