Sometimes it feels like Clip Art (Pusha t and Malice) and Malice think that Paris exists in different dimensions, where WiFi, smartphones and stubborn raps don’t exist. I’m kidding (mainly) but please listen to me.
On Monday (June 23), Kendrick Lamar leaked the track online, and we just said…it didn’t last long. I’m on it. I listened. Then POOF-the original post disappeared. Who made that fly could be hit by an angry phone call or DM. They fell it down, but it was just the beginning.
You already know how this game works. Once the toothpaste sticks out of the test tube, it won’t go back. Despite canceling the toothpaste, the track started to bubble up on Reddit, Twitter and encrypted fan forums. The next thing you know – everywhere.

Now? We finally heard that verse. The big and bad poetry Universal Music Group allegedly wanted to be buried. This is a man who is malicious and launches a deal. The industry whispered that some lines (or possibly the entire feature) were an executive problem. UMG filed a lawsuit on behalf of Kendrick Lamr and Drake, who filed a lawsuit accusing them of supporting Kendrick’s “Diss Tracks” that the tag appears to be scrambling their “###”.
But, now that the leak already exists in the wild – what do you think? Kendrick is obvious. Maliciousness and pushing didn’t miss a step. This is 2025, and these two sounds are clearer and colder than most crops that currently block your algorithm.
Clip art may be exactly what hip-hop needs right now – a cultural reset. The game becomes so lost in gossip, antics and bait that we forget what music should mean. The clipping that appears now feels like the big brothers pulling up hip-hop with the young bucks.
Let me know what you think in the comments or community section. Are you doing a full clip art here in 2025? Or is it too culture to be unable to retreat?
