Though Pusha-T’s solo career has been positively received, the circumstances that enabled it – the breakup of the Clipse due to internal differences – has been met with opposition. Confronting this opposition, No Malice contextualizes his turn away from the Clipse, emphasizing that the things they rapped about were not just empty words. Each bar referencing a brick was actually coated in the guttural memories of having to sell those bricks to survive. For No Malice, the pain behind those words doesn’t reconcile with the spiritual growth he’s undergone to heal that pain. Accordingly, those words have to be buried.
The funereal instrumental and imagery imply that No Malice is disavowing the Clipse, but that’s not quite the case. No Malice acknowledges his brother’s abilities and celebrates their run, but he wants to uphold that legacy by starting anew, forging his own, more righteous path. Watch the video below.
Side Note: That Outkast reference is dynamite.
