Key Takeaways

  • Pusha T ranks Let God Sort Em Out above Hell Hath No Fury, calling the newer album "a tutorial on the maturation of a rap group."
  • He says he could never recreate Hell Hath No Fury because its lyrics came from a bitter, fiercely competitive period when he felt compelled to prove himself.
  • The Clipse reunion album earned the brothers their first Grammy for the Kendrick Lamar-assisted "Chains & Whips."

Pusha T has shared his personal take on which Clipse album is better: Let God Sort Em Out or Hell Hath No Fury.

Pharrell Williams posed the question for King Push during a recent sit-down interview for Vogue. P executive produced both albums, with Hell Hath No Fury arriving in 2006, and Let God Sort Em Out dropping last July.

"That's a tough one. I'm gonna go with Let God Sort Em Out because Let God Sort Em Out, it's a tutorial on the maturation of a rap group and how a group is supposed to mature," Pusha told Williams around the 6:30 mark in the clip below.

"I was out of my mind in Hell Hath. You know what I've always said? I can never make Hell Hath No Fury again," he continued. "Things that I was saying in that album just came from a very... bitter place. It was from a very competitive place. I was proving points that I hope I never have to prove again in life."

Williams agreed with the sentiment and added: "Allegedly, you might have still had your hands a little dirty... during Hell Hath."

Hell Hath featured memorable Clipse tracks "Mr. Me Too" and "Wamp Wamp (What It Do)," and received high acclaim, along with debuting at No.14 on the Billboard 200.

Let God Sort Em Out would arguably be Clipse’s greater success, as it established the reunion between Pusha and his older brother, No Malice, and earned them their first Grammy in the Best Rap Performance for the Kendrick Lamar-assisted "Chains & Whips."

Filmed at Ludlow House in New York City, the Vogue conversation was tied to Williams and Pusha’s Lavazza collaboration, Grindin' Coffee, their line of Italian-roasted whole bean and ground coffees.
