Clipse’s ‘Let God Sort Em Out’: All 13 Tracks Ranked

It may be hard to believe, but as Malice rapped on “Trill,” “It’s me ma, you ain’t dreaming.” After months of fashion shows, teasers, rumors, interviews and more, Clipse is really, truly, finally, back. The duo’s new album Let God Sort Em Out is its first project since 2009’s Til the Casket Drops, and it boasts plenty of coke-infused bars, subliminal digs, and a sleek array of beats courtesy of longtime artistic partner Pharrell to tie it all together.

Let’s back up: For the first half of the 2000s, Clipse was one of hip-hop’s biggest disruptors. Drug-honed lyrical content had been a mainstay in rap for years, but Pusha T and Malice shook up that thematic snow globe from the jump. What followed were bars about coke, guns and seedy street tales that carried the refined elegance of Jean-Claude Killy skiing his way to Olympic gold. From 2002’s “Grindin'” to 2006’s “Mr. Me Too” and beyond, the pair used their run — aided by The Neptunes, who relentlessly battered away at them with their MPCs — to leave an indelible mark on hip-hop, before disbanding in 2010.

So after more than a decade apart, how do two brothers reunite and take Clipse into the 2020s? They sprinkle in some rambunctious new talent, with guest verses from Stove God Cooks, Tyler, the Creator and Kendrick Lamar, but otherwise they keep it pushin’ in more ways than one. With 13 new songs, and plenty of slick news bars to unpack, Billboard has dove in and ranked all the songs on Let God Sort ‘Em Out. Check out our full ranking below.
