Clipse Makes It Snow in July With Menacing Tiny Desk Concert: Watch


The Clipse's discography is highlighted on their Tiny Desk Concert.

Draped in all-black threads and backed by a live band, Pusha T and Malice brought the nostalgia, pain and ferocity to Tiny Desk, giving listeners the full spectrum of emotions with a run through the Clipse’s decorated discography spanning three different decades. The Clipse gave those on hand an early taste of Let God Sort Em Out while running through the hard-hitting “Chains & Whips” sans Kendrick Lamar and the poignant “The Birds Don’t Sing,” which finds the duo grieving the loss of their parents. It wouldn’t be a grand finale for Clipse without “Grindin’.” Drummer Daru Jones, who was part of The LOX’s Tiny Desk, perfectly delivered a live remake of the thumping drums heard on the 2002 track, mirroring The Neptunes’ shrewd production from over two decades ago.
