Pusha T has scored himself a little win over longtime rival, Lil Wayne, with the debut of the new Clipse album, Let God Sort Em Out.
The reunion album between the two brothers premiered on the Billboard 200 at number four but managed to move 118,000 equivalent units in its first week on sale.
Despite the music of the Clipse being less mainstream, this figure is more than what Lil Wayne sold with his latest album, Tha Carter VI, last month.
Debuting at number two, Tha Carter VI sold only 108,000 units in its first week, almost a fifth of what Tha Carter V sold in 2018 and a far cry from the million plus Tha Carter III shifted back in 2008.
However, the Clipse did debut behind another of Pusha’s rivals in Travis Scott, who’s compilation album, Jackboys 2, comfortably topped the charts despite having a shorter sales week than all other new releases.
The long-delayed project sold 232,000 equivalent units in less than a week, far ahead of Justin Bieber’s surprise new album SWAG.
Pusha T has been vocal in his distaste for former GOOD Music labelmate Scott in recent weeks.
Pusha recently eviscerated Scott on the Clipse single “So Be It”, spitting: “You cried in front of me, you died in front of me / Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me / Her utopia had moved right up the street / And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat.”
In an interview with GQ, Pusha then explained that his reasons for dissing Scott were a result of him shading Pharrell Williams on “Meltdown” which features a Drake verse with lines aimed at the legendary producer.
He said: “The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He came to [Pharrell’s] studio. He interrupted a session,”
“He sees me and Malice there. He’s like, ‘Oh, man, everybody’s here,’ he’s smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his fucking monkey dance. We weren’t into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]. And then a week later you hear Meltdown, which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”
What a stretch. If this was 20 years ago and he was comparing himself to Carter 1/Carter 2 this would’ve been impressive. Now instead in 2025 he’s getting dissed by Justin Bieber. xD
Bieber is gay tho. He got poked by The Diddler as a teenager repeatedly.
So are Drake and Young Thug and people still love them
Lil Wayne is Big Washed.
Wayne actually would have sound great on that new fire Clipse album. Clipse have hip hop album of the year hands down!!! Stove God Cooks needs full bars on a remix to FICO!
Good idea. Then maybe we won’t have to hear Stove on any more WSG albums.
This new format wack as fuck please fix it repeating stories no updates daily please fix this.
