Pusha T discusses how Kendrick Lamar first became engaged with Clipse’s “Let God Sort Em Out” and his desire to be featured twice.
Pusha T has been spearheading the charge to promote the Clipse’s first album in 16 years, Let God Sort Em Out. From his sharp bars for Kanye West and Travis Scott on teaser tracks to eye-popping declarations and confessions in interviews, the Virginia native has created a lot of buzz for what could be an AOTY finalist.

But, with barely a week and a half until showtime, King Push is making one final push (pun intended) to sell potential listeners on the record. In a Spotify interview with NFR Podcast, the Clipse rapper claimed that Kendrick Lamar was quite excited to have two placements on the album. Remember, he already has one feature locked up for the highly anticipated “Chains & Whips.”
It’s unclear how long ago this occurred, although the tape below suggests it was earlier in the recording process. Pusha T claims that it happened during a time when Lamar was “super busy.” Obviously, the Compton native has been everywhere for almost a year. Pusha T could be referring to the summer when K. Dot was in the midst of his dispute with Drake.
Regardless, Push’s “Nosetalgia” collaborator was not present to hear what the Virginia duo was up to in the studio. However, someone from Kendrick’s camp was.

“We let [Lamar’s] folks hear the album,” Pusha T told me, “and he called [Lamar] and was like listen ‘You need to get on this.'” After that, the “Infrared” MC sent over a few songs, which lead him to approach Kendrick directly.
“[Lamar] called back, laughing, like ‘Oh man.’ He was thinking, “Okay, I got to do it.” Do not worry about it… “I want to do two,” Pusha stated. He went on to note that the “right place, right time” and their ability to capture Lamar “up in the moment” were what made this collaboration possible.

Now, Pusha T did not explicitly deny or confirm whether they allowed Kendrick to contribute to another track. So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens on July 11. But fans in the comments are already guessing and hoping that Lamar may appear on “So Be It Pt. II.”
Given Pusha T’s poisonous energy on the tune, it’s not a remote possibility. There is no listed feature for the tune, thus the Clipse may be ensuring that this potential Lamar verse does not leak too early.
