No Malice wants to see Clipse soar to new heights, and he could see that including collaborations with the likes of Coldplay and The Killers.
No Malice and Pusha T recently sat down for an interview with GOAT Mag, published on Monday (December 4). Talking to their manager Steven Victor, both Malice and Pusha T spoke on who they’d like to work with in the future — and who they wouldn’t.

“As far as Hip Hop goes, the highwater mark is always collaborating with JAY-Z, so I would like that,” Malice began. “Outside of Hip Hp, I would like to see Clipse with artists like Coldplay and The Killers, with big arena records, festivals, something that moves globally.”
But Push feels a bit differently.

“Man. I don’t know. I’m collab’d out,” he said. “I don’t even care about collaborations if it’s not among a great body of work. I’m into cohesive, great bodies of work. I feel like, in these times, with everybody feeling so fly-by-night, that’s the only thing that’s keeping this genre alive.”
Clipse have accomplished a whole lot in their two decades as a duo, but Pusha T and No Malice recently received what may be their biggest honor yet — their own day in the nation’s capital.

Pusha posted a recap on Instagram on Saturday, November 25 of the group’s big Washington, D.C. trip, which happened earlier that month.
The two-day stint began with a live interview for the media company Idea Generation. The sit-down was conducted by Hip Hop media veteran Noah Callahan-Bever, who shared on social media that his first interview with the brothers happened more than 20 years earlier in June of 2002.

The following day, Clipse performed at D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The show was part of Kennedy Center Hip Hop’s ‘Hometown Heroes, Global Icons’ series celebrating artists from the DMV region. The show was billed as “A Survivors Celebration.”
On Saturday, Pusha looked back at the whole experience. He pointed out one more major highlight: the day of their Kennedy Center performance turned into “Pusha T & The Clipse Day” in the city.
“11/16 – 11/17, WASHINGTON DC,” he captioned the photos. “IDEA GENERATION SIT-DOWN, CLIPSE AT THE KENNEDY CENTER, ROSEBAR AFTERPARTY. ‘A SURVIVORS CELEBRATION…’
“From starting the weekend with @n_c_b and the good people @ideageneration to gracing the stage of the world famous @kennedycenter, thank you Washington DC for embracing us as your own.
“Special thanx to @themarcbarnesdc and @theparkat14th, @mrtonylewisjr and Tony Lewis Sr. for the heartfelt show intro, and @mayor_bowser for naming Nov. 17th ‘Clipse Day’ in the nations capital.”
