Pusha T and (No) Malice have proven that there’s no aging out of making a rap classic as their new album Let God Sort Em Out has hip hop fans giving them a standing ovation.

After a delay caused by tensions with Def Jam—hence the changing of their moniker from “The Clipse” to simply “Clipse”—the Brothers Thornton have reunited for their first offering in 16 years as a group. The pair took a traditional route to their album release by doing an actual rollout, including visuals, merchandise, an album signing, and interviews with several publications, culminating in a Tiny Desk concert where they performed some of their biggest hits.

At 48 and 52 years old, respectively, Pusha and Malice are shutting down any ideas of rap being solely a young man’s game, and we’re here for it. Their lyrical prowess, though seasoned, is still as lethal as ever, and their caviar dope-dealing bars are just as IG-ready as their younger hip hop peers. Plus, they tapped their fellow Virginia-native Pharrell Williams for nostalgia’s sake, making the album’s sonic footprint the dream of millennial music fans everywhere.

Describing the album as “sophisticated urgency,” Pusha T has leaned into the irony of two of the genre’s elder statesmen being able to deliver one of the most anticipated and positively reviewed projects in recent years.

“A perspective on life and how we view it,” he explained in an interview with Jerry Lorenzo for Spotify. “A perspective of the game, music, and how we feel about it. Also, just the idea of what hip hop means to us and the sense of like, this is a competitive game and we actually live it. We always try to showcase that being fundamentalist, with the word and showing that this is timeless. What we do is timeless.”

Clipse Confronts Losing Their Parents On Their Opening Track, “Birds Don’t Sing”

Let God Sort Em Out also showcases featured verses from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator, Nas, and Stove God, along with an appearance by John Legend, whose vocals are on display on the emotional opening track of the album. “The Birds Don’t Sing” chronicles the brothers’ feelings following the deaths of their parents less than 4 months apart, and sets the tone for the project’s transparency.

“We had to get that out of the way because it just had to be done,” Malice said of the track during a sit-down on the Joe Budden Podcast. “You always think, as far as death, it’s going to happen to somebody else, it’s going to happen at some far off abstract time, not in your family or whatever. With my parents passing within four months of each other, it wasn’t just like once. Once it happens once, you think it’s going to be another long time [before it happens again] but it was like back to back.”

Pusha T Doesn’t Hold Back On Kanye, Who Says He Misses Their Friendship

Pusha T has relished in the opportunity to be doing all things music with his brother again after going at it solo, primarily with Kanye West‘s Good Music. As always, he’s never one to mince words when talking about his experiences or feelings about fellow artists, including his former friend and collaborator, West.

“I feel like me and Ye, we don’t gel,” he said. “Where I am right now in my life, I’m not with anybody who ain’t on my team — especially when I’ve been on your team. He champions and stands next to anybody and everybody who don’t f**k with me. And I don’t get that. I don’t understand that.”

He gave more insight into why the two parted ways in a GQ interview saying,

“He’s a genius. But that’s why me and him don’t get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don’t think he’s a man. He’s shown me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.”

Pusha’s candor didn’t deter Kanye from taking to the internet to let people know that he “misses” their friendship, to which the “Ace Trumpets” rapper responded, “I don’t care about that at all. I’m sure, I would miss me too.”

Oop. Well, we will be busy listening to the Clipse’s new album on repeat for the foreseeable future.

Music icon Janet Jackson might have a new man—and the internet is eating it up. Over the weekend, cameras caught Janet, 59, stepping out with 52-year-old singer Maxwell in London—and they looked pretty cozy.

Janet and Maxwell were strolling hand in hand.

Do Janet Jackson & Maxwell Go Together Real Bad?

The pair was on their way to the 1,500th performance of Cabaret at the famed Kit Kat Club, and while they haven’t confirmed anything yet, the PDA was giving “soft launch.” And we are here for it.

Ms. Jackson (if you’re nasty) looked flawless alongside Maxwell. She donned a white Stella McCartney suit tailored to perfection. The suit featured high-waisted trousers with a clean, elongated silhouette, a crisp white collared shirt, and a matching blazer.

She styled her hair in a tight braided bun, highlighting her signature bold cheekbones. And, to that end, her makeup was glowing.

The “That’s the Way Love Goes” singer accessorized her look with silver statement hoops and subtle rings.

Next to her, Maxwell looked equally as iconic in a classic pinstripe suit and orange-tinted shades. The “Ascension” singer kept it cool, coordinated, and quietly confident.

Fans Are Ready—Are Janet Jackson & Maxwell Music’s Next Iconic Couple To Watch?

Janet, who has been married three times before, opened up in previous interviews about breaking cycles of coercive control in her past relationships. “I pray to God that I might have different lenses on these eyes than I did before,” she told The Guardian.

And Maxwell? He’s always kept a low profile when it comes to dating, but if this is a real connection, fans are beyond ready to root for it.

If this is just friendship, we love it. If this is romance, we love it even more. Either way, seeing two legends come together—stylishly and soulfully—is giving everything it needs to give.

Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors aren’t just one of Hollywood’s hottest couples; they’re now fitness and wellness moguls, too. The duo just launched Honor Culture, a new venture teased on Instagram on July 7.

One promo reads: “Honor Your Healing. Honor Your Story.” Another simply teases, “Something’s coming. Stay tuned.” With black-and-white shots that scream strength, style, and serious chemistry, fans can’t get enough of the soft launch.

Meagan Good & Jonathan Majors Launch Honor Culture

In the photos, Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are serving body, discipline, and pure Black love. The pair looks TF good and we love to see it.

Meagan’s arms? Sculpted. Her waist? Snatched. Her Curves? You already know.

Meanwhile, Jonathan is giving peak muscle motivation: shirtless with an intensity on 10. One shot even shows him carrying Meagan on his shoulders like it’s light work. Because it is.

The sporty but statement-worthy editorial shoot seems intentional. The couple is letting us know their bond is deeper than red carpets and headlines.
