Which member of the Clipse had the higher verse on JID’s “Neighborhood”? In keeping with the East Atlanta rapper himself, it was Malice. On Tuesday (Sept. 23) night time, throughout a Q&A following Apple Music’s “One Night time Solely” live performance, JID was requested concerning the God Does Like Ugly collaboration.
“I can’t put brothers towards one another,” JID initially insisted. Nevertheless, when host Ebro Darden nudged him by asking what Pusha T would possibly say, he conceded, “We’re going to go [with] Malice, simply off of the Jesus Shuttlesworth-Nasir line.”
The road JID referenced was, “Some have been Jesus Shuttlesworth, a few of us have been Nasirs / As time goes by, it is a watch for a watch right here / My n**fuel mob deep, the fittest gon’ survive right here.” Watch the clip beneath.
Provided that it’s Clipse we’re speaking about, “Neighborhood” was simply one of the vital lyrical tracks on the LP. JID dropped bars about Tupac Shakur and Bob the Builder, whereas Pusha T painted photos of himself flipping “white” in his hood and later referenced “The Wire.”
Elsewhere within the dialog, JID spoke concerning the that means behind God Does Like Ugly. “This album was extra of an album for me. I needed to get it off of my chest,” he defined. “The entire God Does Like Ugly title is only a perspective of the world via every particular person’s eyes. One man’s trash [or] treasure, regardless of the case could also be.”
He continued, “It got here at an actual delicate time and an vital time as effectively. It simply looks like a great second to place out music.” Different options on the 15-song effort embrace Westside Gunn, Vince Staples, EARTHGANG, Ciara and Don Toliver, amongst others.
JID is gearing as much as hit the street for his “God Does Like Paradise Tour,” which begins on Oct. 15 in Virginia Seaside. He’ll be joined by Younger Nudy, Child Kia, Niko Brim and some different particular company alongside the best way.
