Watch Clipse Showcase Emotional Track ‘The Birds Don't Sing' on Fallon
Clipse stopped by The Tonight Show to perform their recent song 'The Birds Don't Sing.' The evocative track is the opening number on the rap group's latest LP, Let God Sort Em Out, which dropped July 11. The performance featured Pusha T stepping forward to intone the opening verses before a female singer took over John Legend's part from the recorded version. No Malice joined for the later verses as a series of childhood images played on the screen behind them.

Pusha T's verses are directed to his mother, while No Malice's verses are directed to his father. 'It's a beautiful song, but it's just out of so much pain and suffering,' No Malice explained of the new track. Let God Sort Em Out is the first Clipse album in 15 years, following 2009's Til the Casket Drops. 'I feel like I don't think we're ever in a rush to put out the music, because when it's ready and when the time is right, we know it's right,' Pusha T told Rolling Stone earlier this year. 'We didn't foresee these twists and turns, but I think it always works out for the best. One thing that we always know, is that the music is incredible. So we don't stress the back office stuff. We've always just gotten through off of the greatness of the music.' The album was produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams and includes collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, and Nas. Clipse will embark on a North American tour in support of Let God Sort Em Out next month. The trek kicks off Aug. 3 in Boston and wraps Sept. 10 in Detroit.

Jimmy Kimmel, Ben Stiller, Elizabeth Warren Question CBS' Decision to End ‘The Late Show'
CBS' decision to end The Late Show in 2026 has left both Hollywood and viewers in shock. On Thursday, the network announced that it will end its late-night talk show, hosted by Stephen Colbert over the last decade, in May 2026, amid financial issues at the network. Colbert himself responded during his monologue on last night's show, 'I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.' He added, 'I do want to say that the folks of CBS have been great partners,' he said amid boos from the live audience. More from Rolling Stone Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' Will End in 2026: 'Purely a Financial Decision' Watch Clipse Showcase Emotional Track 'The Birds Don't Sing' on Fallon Jordan Klepper Charts Trump's Long History With Jeffrey Epstein on 'The Daily Show' After thanking his crew of 200 people and the viewers, Colbert noted, 'Let me tell you, it is a fantastic job. I wish someone else was getting it. And it is a job I am looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months.' Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, shared Colbert's video on Instagram and added, 'Love you Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS.' Many of Colbert's regular guests shared their dismay. 'Sorry to hear @CBS is canceling one of the best shows they have,' Ben Stiller wrote on X. 'Wishing all the people who work so hard on that show all the best.' 'Love you Stephen. This is absolute bullshit, and I for one am looking forward to the next 10 months of shows. ✊😡💔,' Adam Scott wrote in response to Colbert's video. Judd Apatow added, 'My admiration and appreciation for you is bottomless. Excited to see what other brilliance you put into the world. ❤️.' Katie Couric shared her disbelief and asked for additional details. 'I am so upset about this,' she commented on the video. 'I need more information. We love you @stephenathome ❤️.' On Anderson Cooper 360, host Anderson Cooper paid tribute to The Late Show and Colbert's work. 'I just want to take a minute to say how shocked and truly saddened I am by the news that this show will be canceled,' Cooper said. 'Stephen Colbert is smart and he is funny and he has actual conversations with people on his program. Michael Ian Black noted on BlueSky, 'Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.' Andy Richter, a late-night veteran, wrote, 'Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.' He also shared a screenshot of a text conversation that blamed Trump for the move. Elizabeth Warren questioned the motives behind CBS' decision. 'CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery,' the senator wrote on X. 'America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.' Adam Schiff, who appeared as guest on The Late Show last night, also claimed the move may have been political. 'Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled,' Schitt tweeted. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.' In a statement, CBS claimed the cancelation was financial. 'This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,' the network said. 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' Colbert started hosting The Late Show, taking the baton from David Letterman, in 2015, after hosting the news satire show The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. As of July, Colbert has hosted the show for 10 seasons on CBS, filming at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City.

Clipse Drop New ‘Let God Sort Them Out' Album, Hip-Hop Fans Rejoice On X
Clipse, the duo of brothers Pusha T and Malice, last dropped an album in 2009 with Til The Casket Drops , giving way to King Push's strong solo career. With the duo reunited, the Clipse's new album, Let God Sort Them Out , is getting some early positive returns on X as Hip-Hop fans are joined in rejoicing. Let God Sort Them Out , the fourth album from the Brothers Thorton, is more of the pair's usual technical flair and clear diction, with the requisite brick talk that serves as a metaphor more than anything. With longtime producer and collaborator Pharrell Williams handling the entire bulk of production, the clear-eyed vision of Push and Malice never wavers. The album opens with 'The Birds Don't Sing,' featuring John Legend and Voices of Fire. Pusha T opens up with a moving verse depicting the passing of his mother, mentioning his young son, while also referring to his brother by his given first name. Malice continues the autobiographical bent with his verse centering on their father. An early crowd favorite follows in 'Chains & Whips,' which was previously heard last year when the brothers teased the track during a Louis Vuitton fashion show last year. However, the surprise appearance of Kendrick Lamar solidified the excitement, and K-Dot delivers a sinister verse that may or may not be directed toward a certain Canadian superstar. According to X, other highlights include 'P.O.V.' featuring a blistering verse from Tyler, The Creator, the previously-released 'Ace Trumpets,' and 'Inglorious Bastards' featuring their longtime partner, Ab-Liva. Nas also shows up on the track 'Chandeliers,' which appears on the tail end of the strong album title cut. Stove God Cooks, who works alongside Westside Gunn and the sprawling Griselda collective, shows up for 'F.I.C.O.,' as he's one of the top 'coke rap' stars in the game now. We've got reactions from X to Clipse dropping their new Let God Sort Them Out project below. Check out the album at your preferred DSPs below. — Photo: Getty Clipse Drop New 'Let God Sort Them Out' Album, Hip-Hop Fans Rejoice On X was originally published on
