I can’t trust a lot of you when it comes to music. Song-skipping people don’t feel that album vibe. I get it if it’s not for you, but don’t come talking about an album unless you fully listen to it!

Let God Sort Em Out
We all hear talk about chains and whips which is a amazing song, but we are going to jump into “P.O.V.", the third track from Clipse's 2025 album, Let God Sort Em Out, the duo collaborates with Tyler, The Creator to issue an ominous warning to hip-hop's clout-chasers.
Tyler's verse features a subtle diss, speculated to be aimed at Playboi Carti, who reportedly sent a cease-and-desist to Tyler for his feature on the Tyler's song, "Thought I Was Dead".
M.T.B.TTF. stands for "Mike Tyson Blow To The Face" and is the 7th track on Clipse's 2025 album "Let God Sort Em Out". The song "M.T.B.TT.F. (Mike Tyson Blow To The Face)" by Clipse explores street life, wealth, and the drug trade. Pusha T reflects on intense experiences, utilizing metaphors of aggression and luxury while highlighting harsh realities.
The chorus links a desire for wealth to the drug trade, with the "Mike Tyson blow" symbolizing impact. Malice addresses critics, asserting dominance and authenticity in their high-stakes world. The imagery of wealth underscores their journey, celebrating achievements while acknowledging darker undertones. Overall, the lyrics portray ambition and resilience in their unique perspective story telling at its best.
E.B.I.T.D.A. stands for "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization".
In "E.B.I.T.D.A.", Pharrell and Pusha T explore themes of wealth, success, and street life. Pharrell uses vivid imagery, referencing luxury and iconic landmarks, while expressing a desire for high-end experiences. Pusha T reflects on his experiences in the drug trade, emphasizing the consequences of his lifestyle and the weight of his success.
The chorus highlights a transformation from struggle to prosperity, asserting that the money speaks louder than words. Pusha T's verses details the challenges faced, alongside a mantra of resilience and ambition. Overall, the song captures the journey from hardship to wealth, marked by a relentless pursuit of success and authenticity in their lives.
“F.I.C.O.” is a hard-edged standout from Clipse's Album, produced by Pharrell and featuring Stove God Cooks. The title flips the credit score into a metaphor for trust in the drug game. Pusha T and Malice deliver sharp verses on loyalty, risk, and street codes, with Stove God's hook adding grit and soul.
Let God Sort Em Out/Chandeliers” is the penultimate song on “Let God Sort Em Out”, The Clipse's first album in 16 years.
The song features Nas, and marks the first collaboration between them. According to an interview, Nas was meant to be featured on “Hear Me Clearly” on Pusha T's 2022 album “It's Almost Dry”. He also details how Nas got featured on the 'Chandeliers' part:
“I was like this right here, this piece right here is made for Nas. As a matter of fact, we're not rapping on it, we gon' share this part, he gon' rap on this.”
( I personally am not a Pusha T Fan persay, but you cant deny his lyrical abilities )
We give this album a 4.7 flame Review (out of 5).

Album Review: Carter 6

Lil Wayne's sixth installment of the Carter series is also his fourteenth studio album (not including collaborative albums like *Like Father, Like Son* and *Welcome to Collegrove 1 & 2*). In *Carter 6*, Wayne hits us with a classic tone in "Welcome to the Carter," showcasing his hard-hitting lyrics and clever wordplay—so you can keep the sanitizer; only pure Ls come his way. This track flows directly into a mix of an LL Cool J classic song.

Wayne delivers with "Bells," which can be heard in "Rock the Bells." These tough bars from Wayne let you know his words hit harder than bells; such bragging is only right for this artist. We skip past the commercially loved songs to discuss "The Days," a track we could have had for *Carter V*. This impactful song reflects on the numerous seizures Wayne has experienced from his youth into adulthood, which have ultimately led to his hospitalization. The lyrics add a personal touch, reminiscent of nothing but trouble, featuring Charlie Puth.

"Peanuts 2 N Elephant" is an elite song on its own, with the beat produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, known primarily for his *Hamilton* musical. Wayne lets all generations of rappers know that compared to him, they are just peanuts, while he himself is the elephant. It seems these artists can’t help but be overshadowed by Wayne.

Wayne finishes off the studio album with "Written History," once again dubbing himself as the greatest alive—someone who has no one to compete with in his category. His versatility in this album showcases that Wayne is a tale artist, with punchlines, double entendres, and metaphors that will jar your mind. We give this album a solid 8.4.
