Clipse On Back Burner As Malice Pens Book, Pusha Goes Solo

11:40 a.m. · July 23, 2010 · by Andrew Winistorfer

In an interview with MTV, Malice of the Clipse confirmed that his little brother, Pusha T, was indeed going solo (which we all knew) and that Clipse is sort of on the back burner, since while Pusha is solo, Malice is working on a "behind the scenes" book about Clipse's career. 

The book is entitled 'Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked,' " Mal continued. "What I'm doing is, I'm showing you the things that the Clipse have been through in the record industry, things that have been going on with my family, things between me, Pharrell, my brother. Giving y'all a real in-depth look behind the scenes. I'm sure it's something everybody wanna know about, and it's good for anybody who's aspiring to be in this profession. It's crazy."

 

Malice said he's encouraged by his peers, such as 50 Cent, Styles P and the RZA, who have all been able to come out with literary projects.

 

"It's definitely inspirational to see them guys put out a book," Malice said. "I'm trying to follow in those footsteps. The music industry, you have to do some of everything and get into other channels. It's a lot of different avenues to get into. We're just trying to explore them all, as well as Play Cloths, the solo projects and Re-Up Gang records, Re-Up Gang films. We're just trying to put a cap on everything."

There's no word on when said book will be out. But as with most things Clipse-related, expect at least three dozen release dates and at least a year delay. [MTV]
