The Clipse leave Jive

by FULLMETAL

WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 2007

After years of public label frustrations, album push-backs, and just bad blood in general with Jive Records, The Clipse seem to have had enough. Pusha T told Rolling Stone last year his feelings about Jive, saying: “I hate Jive with all my heart and all the passion and my soul.”

It seems that nothing much has changed, as Malice spoke to the Toronto Eye Weekly, delivering shocking news: “Right now Clipse are free agents,” group member Malice said during the interview.“There are a few labels that are interested.”

Not much has been mentioned since, and a Jive representative refused to comment, leaving the situation up in the air. It has not yet been confirmed as to whether as their contract has officially been ended, but we will keep you posted as the story develops.

The Clipse are free agents huh? Interscope and Def Jam would be a good fit but isnt this what the group had to say about the business and they want to stay?

I don’t like hip-hop no more and I don’t like the music business,” says Pusha T. “No ethics, no code, no morals. It’s worse than drug dealing. No one works on principles. “At least in the crack trade, there’s a code of honor. The music business is the worst. You turn into a number as soon as you sign the papers.”

The Clipse are a decent, but why does every rapper blame their record label when shit don't go right? It's kinda funny how some rappers talk about all the "illegal" shit they did before they started rappin, but when their album don't sale they cryin about money. Now I haven't heard EVERY Clipse song or mixtape, but don't they just talk about Coke? If rappers started rappin bout real shit that most people can somewhat relate to, then the music would payoff.

Well it's not like Jive actually lost some talented. Who cares if they're not with their label anymore. They had one hit in my eyes, and that was "Grindin". N that was like a century ago.
