Verse of the Day: Malice - "Wamp Wamp"

"Malice found religion..."

After the break, you'll find the verse, and literally not a single sentence about Wendy's new unlimited Frosty offer.



Mirror mirror, who's the fairest?
Tricked a buck fifty on that horse and carriage,
Must admit, nothing like these carats,
Them hoes holla back just like they parrots,
Down to the watches, alligator strap,
Six different time zones, I don't set her back.
17 a brick, yeah, go and tell 'em that
I got the wamp wamp, when I move it it's still damp
Mildew-ish when I heat it, it turn bluish
It cools to a tight wad, the Pyrex is Jewish
I get paper, it seems I get foolish
Take it to Jacob and play "Which hues the bluest?"
We ain't browsing, luxurious housing
Pull up so mean with the Angel bowing
Or with the emblem bearing the stallion,
European custom, the leathers Italian.

I have two confessions. Hell Hath No Fury is the only Clipse album I've heard. And two, I often have a tough time differentiating between Pusha and Malice. Which is why I thought this was Pusha when I was listening today. Silly, silly me.

Like most verses, it's better heard than read. And once you've heard it, you can't unhear it. Malice sounds good, with a lilting flow and emphasized vowels that tie the whole thing together. Get me that next Clipse album. This is no-conscience coke rap at its finest, complete with a trill Slim Thug chorus. However, as unfair as it is, I'm going to use this opportunity to discuss the other Thornton brother. Pusha Ton.

The GOOD Music compilation is real, complete with rumors about the first single, apparently featuring Yeezy (obviously), Pusha and Big Sean. Ross proved how helpful the crew album can be for your label, so it'll be interesting to see if all the publicity and attention can give Pusha a chance at becoming a viable, solo mainstream act. Fear of God was excellent, and definitely stays in rotation. But can he find a happy medium, that thin line between keeping the quality in the art while still appealing to the masses?  All we can do is wait and see.

Listen. You need to.
