Malice visits the 700 Club to talk about his religious experiences

On Tuesday, I was blogging about the most ignorant music you can imagine, and Malice on the 700 Club is probably the polar opposite of that. Ignorant trap music one day, politics and Christianity the next. You never know what you're going to get on Tha Blog is Hot! Malice is still visiting various outlets to promote his book Wretched Pitiful Poor Blind and Naked, his personal story of spiritual salvation. I've already reviewed his book (Book review - Malice's Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind & Naked), and believe it or not, Malice was actually the first artist who I ever interviewed, in January of this year, and our main conversation points were about his book (interview with Malice). Crazy, huh? And then I sold his book with my homegirl Krystle while he and his brother performed at the UW. I luhh my life. Anyway, I didn't grow up in the church, so it was interesting experience to attend a Catholic university. Frankly, I was a little disappointed when all was said and done, and I had my piece of paper, that I didn't learn more about religion, more so from the literary standpoint because the Bible is such an influence in literature. We were required to take a course called Biblical Traditions, but the point of it was to write a research paper about a tiny excerpt of the Bible, not actually read it, which was strange to me. I still feel like religion in hiphop is a subject that just isn't talked about, and when I ...

Tha Blog is Hot presents…an exclusive interview with MALICE!

What happens when someone who loves books (ME) gets to interview one of their all-time favorite rappers (MALICE) about his book? Yeah, I'm talking about me having the wonderful opportunity to chat with Malice about his upcoming book Wretched, Pitiful, Pour, Blind, & Naked, among other things! Malice was so kind, so humble, and so passionate about this project. If possible, I finished the interview and felt even more excited about the book! Highlights include chatting about his book, me being corny (what else is new), how "Life Change" came to be, his vignettes and vblogs, and yes, I even asked him what his favorite book is. And what about the rest? What about Clipse! Well, dear reader, you'll just have to read on to see what we talked about! Of course, I have to thank Malice again for the interview! It is just crazy; I spent high school listening to Lord Willin' and In Search Of... (spoiler alert, Pharrell is mentioned in the interview as well) and it is more than a dream come true being able to talk to Malice, one of the people I can credit my love of hip hop to! I could keep rambling all day about how I felt (I will probably get overcome by emotion like Big Sean if I keep writing), so I'll leave it at that. Don't forget to preorder Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind & Naked here. It drops on Valentine's Day, sp you've got 2 weeks left to do so! And here's what you've been waiting for--click the link to read the entire interview!!! Malice: Julie! Julie: What's up? How are you? M: I’m good, man, I’m good. I’m doing really good. How you doin? J: I’m doing well, just really excited to be talking to you about your upcoming book! M: Well, I really appreciate it, ...

Don’t be scared, but this post is about a BOOK. Malice’s book, to be exact.

While Pusha has been working on his solo career, Malice has been working on his book. I haven't been following it much, but he has released some vlogs that you can view on his website.  I'm glad that his book wasn't pushed back like the last Clipse album. You can follow my lead and pre-order it.Here is his dust jacket description where you can pre-order it:I don't really know what to say about the book with the exception that the phenomenal chain of events occurred just as I say they have. I was trying to be a rapper, not an author. Never would I have ever imagined that I would have to share a story so personal and of such magnitude with the entire world. Wretched...tells of my highest highs and my lowest lows. It speaks of my childhood, family life, and life in the industry. Most importantly this book tells how my life was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, last night what I seen made my life change.Anyway, folks, it's ok to read. Books are not scary, and you won't be looked down upon if you pick one up.
