Erick Sermon<\/a> is giving Clipse their flowers while acknowledging hip-hop\u2019s complicated relationship with ageism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The legendary producer recently spoke on the reunited Virginia<\/a> duo\u2019s return, saying their comeback proved that rap veterans can still move the culture forward. Sermon\u2019s praise joins many of today\u2019s biggest stars appreciating the new album, Let God Sort Em Out.<\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2019all have to thank the Clipse,\u201d Sermon said at the beginning of the clip. \u201cThe Clipse came at the right time for Raekwon to come, for Ghostface to come we needed the Clipse to do what they did at 52 and 48 years old it doesn’t matter the age if you make great material\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

For him, Clipse stepping back into the spotlight after years apart showed that sharp bars and cultural weight don\u2019t disappear. The duo reminded<\/a> fans that being in your forties or fifties doesn\u2019t disqualify you from delivering elite music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their impact, Sermon argued, helped clear the path for icons like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah<\/a>, and Nas. All who\u2019ve released new albums through Mass Appeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Erick Sermon Praise Clipse<\/p>\n

Sermon framed Clipse\u2019s resurgence as more than a reunion. He called it a cultural reset that forced the industry to reconsider how it measures longevity and artistry. While rock and pop stars like Madonna<\/a>, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, and Cher continue to release music without the \u201cold school\u201d label attached, hip-hop has often sidelined its elders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cWe’re the only genre to talk about age, they don’t say old school Madonna, old school Paul Mccartney, old school Barbra Streisand or old school Cher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Released in July, Clipse\u2019s Let God Sort Em Out<\/a> received acclaim as it made an undeniable impact in pop culture. The reunion album was admired for its traditional rollout.<\/p>\n

Pusha T<\/a> and No Malice were hailed for their\u00a0 \u201clyrical versatility\u201d and \u201cinspired\u201d production. They balance classic grit with newfound maturity.<\/p>\n

The new album marked 16 years since their last album in Til The Casket Drops. The album was produced solely by long-time friend and producer Pharrell<\/a> Williams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. It earned Clipse their second top-10 album, and topped Billboard\u2019s Independent Albums chart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Erick Sermon is giving Clipse their flowers while acknowledging hip-hop\u2019s complicated relationship with ageism.\u00a0 The legendary producer recently…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[21963,2774,70607,88,70608,483,2771,216,3],"class_list":["post-106744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ageism","tag-clipse","tag-empmd","tag-entertainment","tag-erick-sermon","tag-hip-hop","tag-let-god-sort-em-out","tag-music","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
