After announcing their new album, Let God Sort Em Out, with “Ace Trumpets,” Clipse kick their promo into high gear with the opulent video for “So Be It,” their second single.
Over a stringent violin sample, the Thornton brothers unload a string of cavalier boasts and threats that reveal their intentions to bait “smoke,” and let the chips fall where they may. Of special note is the foreshortened third verse, which fans on social media are sure refers specifically to Kanye West, with whom Pusha had apparently fallen out after previously going to war with Drake on his behalf.
You cried in front of me, you died in front of meCalabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of meHeard Utopia had moved right up the streetAnd her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eatThe ‘net gon’ call it the way that they see itBut I got the video, I can share and A.E. itThey wouldn’t believe it, but I can’t unsee itLucky I ain’t TMZ it, so be it, so be it
