Toward the end of Clipse’s hour-long set on the Outdoor Theatre stage at Coachella, the duo broke into “The Birds Don’t Sing,” a standout track from their Grammy-nominated album Let God Sort Em Out.The song is about the deaths of rapper Malice’s parents; it’s heartfelt, warm, and loving, with lyrics like “You told me that you loved me/It was all in your tone/“I love my two sons” was the code to your phone/Now you’re gone.” There’s no apologies or cynicism or irony: this is earnest, heartfelt hip-hop, here abetted and made even more emotional via family portraits. At the end of the song, Malice and his partner-in-rhyme Pusha T looked back in silence at the final photo, paying homage to the family love and support that allowed them to pursue their dreams.

It’s a far cry from “Grindin’,” the Neptunes-produced cocaine-slanging smash that put them on the map in the 2000s, and it’s proof positive of their longevity: They’ve matured expertly without losing their edge along the way. The story of Clipse is also the story of one of hip-hop’s most unlikely reunions: Let God… is their first album in 15 years, and many fans never thought they’d see the duo perform together again.

Tory Lanez has reportedly been rushed to the hospital after being stabbed while out on the prison yard.

According to TMZ, the incident happened on Monday morning (May 12) at California Correctional Institution. While the motivation for the attack is unclear, the report states that another inmate was the culprit and the singer was immediately transported to a nearby hospital.

Thankfully, the injury is said to be non-life-threatening.

Tory is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. And according to a court filing last month, Megan’s lawyers recently visited him in prison to obtain his deposition ahead of the upcoming civil trial for Meg’s defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz.

The Game is being forced to sell his Calabasas mansion after a judge approved the sale of his property to help fund the $7 million judgement against him.

The Compton rapper was accused by a woman named Priscilla Rainey of sexual assault during the production of his dating show She’s Got Game.

Game refused to appear in court regarding the suit and in 2016 a default judgement was issued against him with the rapper ordered to pay Rainey a little over $7 million.

Rainey had previously requested that the court sell The Game’s mansion to cover the debt as the rapper has refused to pay the sum awarded by the court.

The Game had attempted to avoid the ruling by claiming that he house is actually owned by JTT Holdings, which he also has equity in. However, the court ruled that JTT Holdings was a shell company and that it can be forcibly sold.

The mansion is currently on the market for $4 million, a figure still significantly short of the $7 million judgement. The Game has yet to comment on the ruling.
