   What the Clipse "Album Of The Year" Has To Do With Black Women (and why we HAVE to talk about it)

   Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don’t have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em’ Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

Your Preference Is Prolly Problematic... with Kaila Yu

Published 10 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And I... I'm like a verbal validation, love language person. And I wanted to be told that I was beautiful and like great. And, you know, whatever dads tell their little girls, my dad just didn't tell me that. Then I always want to try to say like, oh, my childhood wasn't that bad. Like there are so many bad childhoods out there. And my therapist has to say like, it's still a valid experience. Yeah, it's definitely a valid experience. And when you talked about your dad in the book, it made me wonder, my grandparents on my dad's side are Jamaican immigrants. […]
