Rapper and author No Malice — brother of Pusha T and former other half of Clipse — recently spoke via Instagram video about his sibling’s highly praised new album, DAYTONA, and Drake’s internet-shaking response to “Infrared.”
“That’s what Hollywood does, right? That’s what Hollywood does,” he said to a fan who asked him what he thought about the album’s use of Whitney Houston’s drug-covered bathroom as the cover. “I wasn’t in any shock and awe when I seen it.”

”I didn’t even know what it was, telling you the truth. I [had to] read the comments … I still don’t know exactly what that was, but I know it’s affiliated with Whitney Houston. Ain’t nobody looking for righteousness in Hollywood. Right?”
He also admitted DAYTONA was the first King Push project he’s taken in since they split as a duo back in 2011. “This is the first [solo] album that I even listened to from Push,” he said. “It wasn’t because I was shunning it, you know, it’s just Hip Hop don’t feed me, you know what I’m saying?”
“I’m not dissing Hip Hop, I still love Hip Hop. Some people look to it, it inspires some people, you know, but I’m just not one of those people and ain’t nothing wrong with that,” he continued, hinting that the lack of authenticity seemed to lose him.
“That’s what made me love Hip Hop, that I could believe in the artist and the art. You know, what he says,” he added. “So yeah, the artistry of my brother’s work to me is amazing. It’s amazing. Of course, I don’t agree with everything he’s saying and all the messages, you know, but he didn’t make the album that leads people to the Lord, ” he said, before chatting briefly about his 2017 release Let The Dead Bury The Dead.
Near the end of his livestream, he was asked his thoughts on Drake getting at his brother. “I think it makes for good Hip Hop,” he said. “This is an exciting moment for Hip Hop, right?”

Man malice gonna have to come back and help his bro. Even tho his bro is already ruining drake
The first time I heard Clipse was when I was like 10 on a Now That’s What I Call Music installment. There was a Neptunes remix to a Backstreet Boys song that they were featured on (about a year before they debuted mainstream with “Grinding”), in fact I think it was only released on this compilation. This has nothing to do with the story, but it should be duly noted by all who read this that the Clipse are the GOATs because they did a collaboration with the Backstreet Boys.
They recorded a McDonald’s ad as well. They have been in the game for a long time
having a hard time believing that this is the first solo he listened to from his bro. Fair enough if hip-hop doesn’t really do it for you but if you were making music together and then went your separate ways would you not be curious as to how they’re now sounding? I’d be surprised if Andre 3000 never heard a Big Boi album too, stop lying man lol
Pusha T has sold his soul its sad to see the amount of disrespect to Ms,Houston he allowed that foolish Kanye to misguide him into
lol no one told whitney to start smoking crack that is 100% on her and that picture is provocative kanye is the last artist that has the balls to go against the grain – there will never be another
“That I could believe in the artist and the art” Ouch, I see no malice there haha. This album aint doing well numbers wise though
