Pusha T got probably one of the best run of hip-hop: Lord Willin, Hell Hath No Fury, Fear of God 2, My Name Is My Name, King Push, Daytona and now, It’s Almost Dry. Flawless. Dangerous. Amazing. Love his personnality. Low key but still accessible.
and its not even debatable. rappers arent supposed to be here. let alone at an elite level still. 2022. iRemember that moment when justin timberlake debut that at the vmas. idk who won, performed, ans was even in the building that is making anything today that iWould want to hear or what it would sound like.... let that *SYNC in
This is the level of Grown Man that the game needs to celebrate. No need to speak on what he has no NEED to speak on. Thoughts and points are clear. Hyper self aware. Lives in his own lane. No gimmicks and games to garner likes or fame. #Respect Push
"Thoughts and points are clear Hyper self aware In his own lane No gimmicks or games to garner likes or fame." BARS! Dunno why I read it in Pusha's voice lol 😄
💯I feel he on this type of time because he was saying after that it was shit that he wasn’t gone speak on. After that Adidon Drake must’ve done a lot of sucka shit behind the scenes for real.
Push is definitely the most level headed rapper in the game right now, he knows what he's good at and he's not in a competition with anyone. Pure class.
Been a Push fan since HS , that grindin beat was a staple in every hood cafeteria. One of the most consistent Lyricists in the game. Give this man his flowers! 🥂
Hell yea facts we all thought we made the grinding beat back then and busta rymes do you really wanna party with me those two beats are most legendary in hip hop
I literally watched this interview w a notebook and paused it to look up everything he was talking about. From the rap beefs to the old manager. I even played the album AGAIN as they went thru the track list to hear the songs w the background info in mind. Pusha is an underrated favorite that a lot of lyricism junkies don’t realize are one of their favorites. He’s been in my top 6 all time. Hands down. Best interview for any true hip hop fan to get into 🔥🔥
Facts 👏 👏 👏 I consider myself very well rounded as it relates to music and my favorite genre of music is east coast rap. Admittedly, I cannot recall what I know about Pusha however, I WILL be binging ALL Pusha T on my 2023 Thanksgiving drive of 7.5-8 hr drive fo sho...while I am a bass head (if my rear view ain't trembling, I at happy) I love lyrics. I love words PERIODT!!! * I've been doing the same as you during this interview (fact checking) * thanks for your input 😉
@@laricewilcox5344 listen…GREAT lyricism w a bassy backdrop is the gift that keeps on giving! He definitely has a recurring theme but he’s lyrical nostalgia for the 90s hip hop heads. Idk if i would tell you to do an 8hr binge (due to repetitive content) I’d suggest breaking it up w some classic Hov, Nas or BlackStarr to balance Pusha’s drug talk with a lil consciousnesses. Trust me, it WILL get repetitive esp if you’re a lyrics junkie like me. But again he’s STILL one of my top 5 “adult contemporary hip hop” lyricists
Romans 12:19 (KJV) 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Holding onto hate is like holding a piece of hot coal with the intent to burn someone else. In the end you’re the one who gets burned. Can’t remember where that’s from but it’s true. Save your energy let that bull go.
I agree that Pusha is a bar lord but not all bar masters make good albums. Just take battle rappers for example, they usually don't make good albums. 🤔
"Missy over Everybody" ... I stand behind tht line 1,000 percent! I'm from the crib too, but even if I wasn't born and raised in VA tht shit STILL would stand! 💪🏾💪🏾
Open air is THEEE HARDEST song on the album. The homage to the Biggie cadence in the second verse is IMMACULATE. Both Pusha & Pharrell got in they bag on this beat. BANANAS.
This new album is fantastic. Pusha has been grinding for so long, classics. I've listened to 'It's almost dry', all the way through once a day since it rolled out.
This Push album is insane! When he said the purest blow we selling white privileged, designer drugs will turn niggas limitless! I stopped my car like shiiiiiii this dude is snapping 😂
I was riding on first listen too, I heard that shit & was like wtf he just say, nasty bars balled up face. Played the whole song back to make sure I heard that shit right 💯🔥🔥
It’s refreshing to see a rapper so focused and clean. A hour in and he hasn’t even had a drink or smoke. There’s a reason why he stays sharp. #soberchamps
Saw pusha T in my trip to Las Vegas back in 2018 when he was promoting his Daytona album at one of the clubs in Vegas strip dude a real and genuine person finished singing then just went and speak to his fans like he was regular dude after his show always had respect for him and his bro when I was young
@@darenanderson7930 😂 it took me a couple days to realize it was him as well. I always just play straight through so I never look at the tracklist AND them mfs sound damn near identical lol
The perfect example of Nore’s loyalty vs respect question was the situation with Pharrell and Justin Timberlake. While Pharrell may have respected Justin, his loyalty was with the Clipse. Since the Clipse wasn’t being let out of their deal, Pharrell made the decision not to produce any other artists music on Jive. Big difference between respect and loyalty. They’re not the same.
Missy definitely needs to be on here and share her story…Push is definitely a level headed person in the game so calm stay in his lane, not competing against anyone in the game and just bring his self throughout it all
I could listen to Push talk all day man you can tell how real he is and how much loyalty means to him. The fact he’s been in the game so long and consistently puts out top tier albums is some crazy shit
Looking forward to seeing Missy Elliott on Drink Champs soon. She too has worked with Pharrell. It would be a WTF moment if she doesn't appear on Drink Champs. She deserves her flowers too.
Hearing Push talk about how important it is to balance the scale of production and rapping is so cool to me. As someone who goes in listening for the sonics first, his albums are always on point. My ears and brain hears beat first, and the fact that he always picks great beats is AMAZING. And I love how his rapping never ever gets drowned out by the production. His cadence is so pure, it’s easier on the ears and it’s easier to pick apart the lyricism. Another masterpiece by Pusha T!
And some of us Day 1's just appreciate the artists who haven't had to switch up on who they are or their flow. Pusha's flow itself stood the test of time, and many of us day 1's knew then that it would!
I completely agree with Push, no need to be fake cool with ppl for the sake of appearances. Kanye and Drake seem to really need that, but when you're not equally yoked with someone, there's no need to force it.
I think the levels you wanna reach have everything to do with your collaborations. Pusha feels it within himself he don’t need those but honestly he played his position but I feel like he played it small. He’s a strong contender in todays hip hop as a lyricist. But I like his lane
@@Thisguyecm I think he looks at himself like a niche artist. Like a small boutique store with specialized items as opposed to a department store with everything for everybody, and that's what he wants. That particular kind of success doesn't require him to collaborate with people he has no chemistry with or fondness for.
Can not express how much I love Pusha T. This King is Classy. His voice, lyricism, taste and aura is different. 💎 This episode I enjoyed truly. Thank you King Push, Legend. Drink Champs this was amazing. Thank you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤❤✨✨✨✨
This entire interview is why I’ve been a loyal Pusha T fan for 20 years. He’s banned from Canada and he still doesn’t give a fuck!!!! No making up, no industry bullshit … he’s a REAL one 💯
Drake is Canadas “coolest” moment in history and they can’t have this guy selling out shows in Canada embarrassing, basically, “Canada” especially when the “goons” tried to attack him and got fucked up and stabbed in their own country.
This guy has 3 classics under his belt and the new album sounds great today so only time will tell. He deserves to be in the conversation as one of the best to ever rap.
Pusha T is a legend. He‘s in the perfect position unlike any other artist in history. He has brotherly relationships with two of arguably the best producers in music history being Pharrell and Kanye. What many of artists pay millions of dollars for he‘s gifted because of respect and admiration. 🏆
A legend. I been a fan of this dude every since I heard Grindin. This man and his brother just brought the cleanest but grimiest energy into hip hop and left a young impressionable youth stunned. I would never not like this guys raps or persona. He’s knows what he does and is meticulous w it. Shout out to King Push!
Looking forward to seeing this interview, especially being from the DMV. I will never forget seeing him in local 7/11 a few years back and him speaking w/an admirer of his. She asked him if she can rap for him. He actually allowed her to bring it as he looks on with enthusiasm and delight. I looked on in appreciation of this young man taking that time to do that. Masterful.
This was one of the best solo Drink Champs interviews ever. Pusha T and his infinity to Mobb Deep was everything plus he’s the first rapper I heard mention the Mid Atlantic region which starts in NC and going north into Virginia.
This is really the time where the culture has to understand that next to hiphop being super commercial, pop and youth driven it has also reached the level that jazz has and pusha is really tappin into that and opening up that part of the culture which is the most important in my opinion
You said a lot here and I would agree if Pusha were commercially successful. He's not. He isn't bridging gaps because his music doesn't sell to a cross section of the public.
@@devindobson7064 yeah thats what i meant by "the culture has to understand" which implies the audience,the sales and ultimately perception of hiphop and what it can still become...there has to be another level of cultivation and consumption. But actually i believe his numbers are doing quite well so that might just be happening
Definitely a fan of both Drake and Push, but I appreciate Push’ sincerity and realness. If he’s not rocking with someone, he’s not rocking with them, period. There’s obviously something that happened behind the scenes, where he felt extremely disrespected & the public is just going to have to respect his judgement and trust the fact that he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. Reasons why he’s gotten so far in his career 🙌🏼 Definitely a quality I can respect and appreciate 💯 Hoping they can come to some type of mutual respect one day 🙏🏼
Pusha T carries himself very well in this interview. I can see why he's successful besides being nice on the mic. I always wondered why Malice doesn't rap as often as he once did but now I know. DRINK CHAMPS MAKE SOME NOISE!
Its good to see that im not the only one who thinks pusha isnt the artist hes portrayed to be by fans online. Numbers dont lie man. Rapping and being a great artist are two different things. Even his own man pharrell checks him at 13 mins of this video. I love the honesty.
Ion know who wake up here is from Va…but I’m from Emporia…small town but not far from the 757 or the 804….it’s just dope to here Pusha up here speaking about our state…it’s dope to hear about NYC…LA…NO…ATL…and so on and so forth….it’s a different pride being from Va and hearing the areas you are familiar with get talked about. Salute💪🏾
Exactly NORE! At first I couldn’t tell who was who on “Pray for you”. Had to listen more than once. Blew my mind how they’re styles, voices and flows are almost mirrored. 🔥🔥🔥 This album has been on repeat for me. Phenomenal job King Push!
Yo best new albums in years. Definitely an instant classic. Now in my top 5 albums of ALL TIME. I listened to it for the first time from front to back then listened to the whole album again. I mean it is spectacular.
Push done pushed himself into top 5 territory with this album and with this interview. He's a chess player. I personally went from hating his music, to envying his persona and talents.
As a professional chef and lover of Hip Hop I don't think people realize when he says " Jean-Georges reservations, I'm dyin' to eat " _ open air _ reference a 2012 interview from to Die For in Vancouver in which the chef speaks openly about many things one of which is the death of a fellow Chef that committed suicide because he didn't get his second Michelin star. Also the phrase "It's to die for" is often used when speaking of food on the Michelin star level. Another fun fact is that it's also one of pushers favorite restaurants he in particularly likes the seafood. I just think it's cool that he's a real foodie and throws these things in there. Just like on Daytona the song infrared he says "we don't do vegetables we welcome the beef and hit you with flat irons"
Great interview. Push is a top tier lyricist. This is one of the better interviews. I like Nore doing the interview without being drunk. My man be losing his chain of thought and asking the same question 15 times when he on that yak. .
Pusha T is one of the few rappers from the Golden Era of Hip Hop that has reinvented his self. Maybe only him Fat Joe Snoop Dogg Nas Jay Z and few others Old school Hip Hop icons.
King Push is one of the few Drink Champs I’ll watch the full 3+ hours. He’s so self aware and speaks with such clarity. Not that daddy issue Drake bullshit
Push giving drake ammunition for album right before the summer. Push is dope, but drake is calculated and I enjoy the the back and forth musically between the two.
Pusha is the only person I know that I messed with lyrically since I was a kid & now I’m a grown man & he is still doing it, maybe even on a higher level. he only gets better
“Playa looks here I’m great in da kitchen like mournin cookware. Uncle Jemima, with my braids wrapped and 3 minute recipes for cookin flap jacks.” 🔥🔥🔥Puuusshh!

Pusha T got probably one of the best run of hip-hop: Lord Willin, Hell Hath No Fury, Fear of God 2, My Name Is My Name, King Push, Daytona and now, It’s Almost Dry. Flawless. Dangerous. Amazing.
Love his personnality. Low key but still accessible.
We Got it for cheap 1, 2, & 3. Classic mixtape series too.
Pusha had two peak runs: Clipse (02 - 09) & his solo career (13 - now).
Fear of God 1 & 2
#classic 🏆
and its not even debatable. rappers arent supposed to be here. let alone at an elite level still. 2022.

idk who won, performed, ans was even in the building that is making anything today that iWould want to hear or what it would sound like....

Push is the man, such an incredible rapper. Love how real he kept it, “I don’t care. There is no ‘too far.’ That’s why you don’t play with me.”

Vince Staples is a level headed humble dude as well
I mean he’s 44
Aht what's the guy name who made hustle hard is especially how dj Khaled played him he humble in spiritual now
He not rapping for fame bro that’s a difference he rap for the culture of real rap
Dang right.....

When I hear rappers that fuel their emotions and experiences with thought, I see the hip-hop culture will continue.
Push doesn’t get the respect he’s due. Definitely got AOTY.

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Nore, never change! And Pusha is a living legend. We need a “I DONT CARE” campaign 🤣❤️🔥

1. comedy

Yo they said he just as nice as pusha 🤔🤔🤔 you tell me‼️‼️ th-cam.com/video/eDX3DFM0lj8/w-d-xo.html
exactly the same man, glad its not just me lmao. Reason I love pusha so much cause once the beat gets me then i listen to the lyrics
And some of us Day 1's just appreciate the artists who haven't had to switch up on who they are or their flow. Pusha's flow itself stood the test of time, and many of us day 1's knew then that it would!
I completely agree with Push, no need to be fake cool with ppl for the sake of appearances. Kanye and Drake seem to really need that, but when you're not equally yoked with someone, there's no need to force it.
I think the levels you wanna reach have everything to do with your collaborations. Pusha feels it within himself he don’t need those but honestly he played his position but I feel like he played it small. He’s a strong contender in todays hip hop as a lyricist. But I like his lane
@@Thisguyecm I think he looks at himself like a niche artist. Like a small boutique store with specialized items as opposed to a department store with everything for everybody, and that's what he wants. That particular kind of success doesn't require him to collaborate with people he has no chemistry with or fondness for.
Can not express how much I love Pusha T. This King is Classy. His voice, lyricism, taste and aura is different. 💎 This episode I enjoyed truly. Thank you King Push, Legend. Drink Champs this was amazing. Thank you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤❤✨✨✨✨

The breakdown of “Call My Bluff” was so damn dope. My favorite song by far. Push is a whole ass legend. Praying for a Clipse album 🙏🏾
This entire interview is why I’ve been a loyal Pusha T fan for 20 years. He’s banned from Canada and he still doesn’t give a fuck!!!! No making up, no industry bullshit … he’s a REAL one 💯
Why’s he banned from Canada? Hardly over Drake is it?
@@barry4649 I’m not sure. It was mentioned in this interview. But if he is, he totally DOES NOT CARE. I love to see his attitude towards it!
Damn he really banned from Canada?
@@phatboyjpbj8164 It was mentioned im the interview but im not sure
Drake is Canadas “coolest” moment in history and they can’t have this guy selling out shows in Canada embarrassing, basically, “Canada” especially when the “goons” tried to attack him and got fucked up and stabbed in their own country.
This guy has 3 classics under his belt and the new album sounds great today so only time will tell. He deserves to be in the conversation as one of the best to ever rap.
I’m new to Pusha, It’s Almost Dry, Daytona, and what’s the other classic I need to listen to
@@slimxshady6111 first two Clipse Albums

Pusha is really one of the most authentic personalities in hip hop… I’m tryn kick it w bro seem cool ash 😂😂
RIP Sean Price
Pusha T is a legend. He‘s in the perfect position unlike any other artist in history. He has brotherly relationships with two of arguably the best producers in music history being Pharrell and Kanye. What many of artists pay millions of dollars for he‘s gifted because of respect and admiration. 🏆
That nigga overrated and know pays him attention unless he talking bout drake or wayne
Well said ....
No artist in history?Hov had Kanye, Just Blaze, Pharrell & Timbaland in his back pocket lol
More than any artist in history? Pump the brakes and do some research
he not a legend. yall be getting way too excited
Pusha T a Living Legend .. give this man his flowers today
Always will and have supported this dude... knew his brother before all the fame as well as Pharrel and Chad...LEGENDS of the 757
Neck and Wrist, Rock n Roll and I pray for you....I listen to those tracks everyday...The Album is Haaaaattt
He’s So VA and I love everything about it.
Pusha has brotherly relationships with jay z, Kanye and Pharrell the most influential people in the Hip hop game
I don't know about Jay-Z, but with Kanye and Pharrell is accurate.
This show just makes me smile. Love our culture, our people. 👑
This the one 💯
Same feeling. I love it.
Nah he nice frfr💯 th-cam.com/video/eDX3DFM0lj8/w-d-xo.html
A legend. I been a fan of this dude every since I heard Grindin. This man and his brother just brought the cleanest but grimiest energy into hip hop and left a young impressionable youth stunned. I would never not like this guys raps or persona. He’s knows what he does and is meticulous w it. Shout out to King Push!
After finally finishing this episode. It is most definitely one I can call my favorite. Push is one of the realest.
Dis the most chilled out drink champs. Speaks of the man
Looking forward to seeing this interview, especially being from the DMV. I will never forget seeing him in local 7/11 a few years back and him speaking w/an admirer of his. She asked him if she can rap for him. He actually allowed her to bring it as he looks on with enthusiasm and delight. I looked on in appreciation of this young man taking that time to do that. Masterful.
Pusha new album is flawless. Open Air, Call my Bluff - “we only in this game to be LeBrons”…I felt that
Let The Smokers Shine is tough....and the way Malice closed out the album was perfect
Open air is tough
Just that good ol’ 757 vibe. Salute to the home team #VA
This was one of the best solo Drink Champs interviews ever. Pusha T and his infinity to Mobb Deep was everything plus he’s the first rapper I heard mention the Mid Atlantic region which starts in NC and going north into Virginia.
I just seen Pusha T in concert this weekend. He deserves all his flowers.
This is really the time where the culture has to understand that next to hiphop being super commercial, pop and youth driven it has also reached the level that jazz has and pusha is really tappin into that and opening up that part of the culture which is the most important in my opinion
BIG FACTS!
You said a lot here and I would agree if Pusha were commercially successful. He's not. He isn't bridging gaps because his music doesn't sell to a cross section of the public.
@@devindobson7064 yeah thats what i meant by "the culture has to understand" which implies the audience,the sales and ultimately perception of hiphop and what it can still become...there has to be another level of cultivation and consumption. But actually i believe his numbers are doing quite well so that might just be happening
@@brooklynmedina7676 Ok, you got it.
@@brooklynmedina7676 you're 1000. This lil exchange just introduced me to Bisa Butler...letsgetit
Drug Dealer’s Anonymous is arguably one of his top 5 verses EVER. If not the best verse. My opinion don’t kill me
Push ain’t tell one lie!! He dropped back to back classics🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dat part same shit
I’ve been rocking with Pusha T since forever. He’s such a humble guy.
Peace and big ups to Push. That Grinding video was one of the first if not the first video of Norfolk VA hoods. Legendary!!!
The history of Tim DJing for Malice before Push was rapping etc is so fascinating
AS A HIP HOP HEAD MYSELF I ALWAYS RESPECTED PUSHA! HE NEVER CHANGED!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Definitely a fan of both Drake and Push, but I appreciate Push’ sincerity and realness. If he’s not rocking with someone, he’s not rocking with them, period. There’s obviously something that happened behind the scenes, where he felt extremely disrespected & the public is just going to have to respect his judgement and trust the fact that he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. Reasons why he’s gotten so far in his career 🙌🏼 Definitely a quality I can respect and appreciate 💯 Hoping they can come to some type of mutual respect one day 🙏🏼
also as a Drake fan, Pushas album way better than Drakes CLB
Facts! The “I pray for you” song & Malice’s verse had me 😮😳🔥💥🙏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
DATS WACK u can't be a fan of both
@@fmcdomer too bad 🤷♂️
That something that happened goes way back to birdman and lil Wayne
Pusha T is so Norfolk, VA. He is slept on just like the city.
Thanks Push for holding it down.
Pusha T carries himself very well in this interview. I can see why he's successful besides being nice on the mic. I always wondered why Malice doesn't rap as often as he once did but now I know. DRINK CHAMPS MAKE SOME NOISE!
@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him 🙏🏻
@@KD_SWAGGERclipse bck now
Thoroughly enjoyed this! I don’t listen to Pusha much but I am always blown away when he opens his mouth, he’s a great thinker and a real one. Period!
Yes. Even Push agrees that call my bluff is the hardest record. Song of the year so far to me. 🔥💯
He also said the joint with malice was the best one
The slick Rick flow call my bluff he killed it hands down
Cut from the golden BIGGIE and LOX flow and refined it to pure perfection
Accentuated efforts
Its good to see that im not the only one who thinks pusha isnt the artist hes portrayed to be by fans online. Numbers dont lie man. Rapping and being a great artist are two different things. Even his own man pharrell checks him at 13 mins of this video. I love the honesty.
This album is a masterpiece. Pusha is a legend. And I like the calm cool honest he always speaks with. Always entertaining. 💯
Man I love pushas energy.. the fact he stands behind why he says is what real men do.. VA in the building 🙌🏽
Norfolk here
7️⃣🖐🏾 Shit!!!
Newport News but fuck with all of the 7 cities
804 Richmond Va
Portsmouth, VA 🙏✌️💯
Ion know who wake up here is from Va…but I’m from Emporia…small town but not far from the 757 or the 804….it’s just dope to here Pusha up here speaking about our state…it’s dope to hear about NYC…LA…NO…ATL…and so on and so forth….it’s a different pride being from Va and hearing the areas you are familiar with get talked about. Salute💪🏾
I love how NORE moved along after PUSH praised MOBB!!!! WHAT A BREAD
Exactly NORE! At first I couldn’t tell who was who on “Pray for you”. Had to listen more than once. Blew my mind how they’re styles, voices and flows are almost mirrored. 🔥🔥🔥 This album has been on repeat for me. Phenomenal job King Push!
Same! I had to run it back the first time!
Yo best new albums in years. Definitely an instant classic. Now in my top 5 albums of ALL TIME. I listened to it for the first time from front to back then listened to the whole album again. I mean it is spectacular.
Pusha don't drink or smoke that's why he so precise with his judgements its not clouded from being intoxicated
Push is definitely one of the illest to ever do it a living legend 🤔🐐👑🥶😤🤫🎶🔥💪🏾💯
Push done pushed himself into top 5 territory with this album and with this interview. He's a chess player. I personally went from hating his music, to envying his persona and talents.
As a professional chef and lover of Hip Hop I don't think people realize when he says " Jean-Georges reservations, I'm dyin' to eat " _ open air _
reference a 2012 interview from to Die For in Vancouver in which the chef speaks openly about many things one of which is the death of a fellow Chef that committed suicide because he didn't get his second Michelin star. Also the phrase "It's to die for" is often used when speaking of food on the Michelin star level. Another fun fact is that it's also one of pushers favorite restaurants he in particularly likes the seafood. I just think it's cool that he's a real foodie and throws these things in there.
Just like on Daytona the song infrared he says "we don't do vegetables we welcome the beef and hit you with flat irons"
Great interview. Push is a top tier lyricist. This is one of the better interviews. I like Nore doing the interview without being drunk. My man be losing his chain of thought and asking the same question 15 times when he on that yak. .
Best Hip Hop podcast! All my favorite artists! Can't wait for new Clipse music 🎤🎶🎧
Push looks good! Relaxed and refreshed, unbothered. Def knows his lane, stays in it and dominates
so many gems man, king push really is that guy
I love Push for being a real dude man.
I love Pusha T interviews always RAW and UNCUT. Shoutout to his Manicurist always on point 💅🤗
This Is Legit The Longest I’ve Seen An Episode Go Without A Drink From Anyone 😂
Pusha T is one of the few rappers from the Golden Era of Hip Hop that has reinvented his self. Maybe only him Fat Joe Snoop Dogg Nas Jay Z and few others Old school Hip Hop icons.
Can’t forget about fat joe
Fab
@@timillion8711 I said fat Joe
@@princekhalil201 that's a fact and I forgot Jim Jones
Please don’t put that bean eater in the same class as push
King Push is one of the few Drink Champs I’ll watch the full 3+ hours. He’s so self aware and speaks with such clarity. Not that daddy issue Drake bullshit
the project is really good might be the album of the year for me its still the best album release to date
Push giving drake ammunition for album right before the summer. Push is dope, but drake is calculated and I enjoy the the back and forth musically between the two.
Pusha is the only person I know that I messed with lyrically since I was a kid & now I’m a grown man & he is still doing it, maybe even on a higher level. he only gets better
You ain’t lyin
This album is classic and will definitely be up for nomination for album of the year.
Really
1:12:00 “U Already Know” by 112 “JUST SO YOU REMEMBER” by Pusha T
“Playa looks here I’m great in da kitchen like mournin cookware. Uncle Jemima, with my braids wrapped and 3 minute recipes for cookin flap jacks.” 🔥🔥🔥Puuusshh!
His newest album is absolutely brilliant! Dreaming in the past best song of this year! Top of his game! It helps having ye and pharell on board also 🙏
Daytona and Almost Dry been on repeat 🔁 ever since
