pathetic pusha t moments

Album is solid but I don't think it has real standouts, except "Keep Dealing." As far as Timbaland goes, "Untouchable" is good not great, poorly integrated chorus though. "Got Em Covered" is nails on chalkboard.

Idk any big negative reason to single dude out. He's a rapper that gets overpraised by a certain kind of fan and...that's mostly it.

this is pretty good - is every track going to be on "king push" proper?

this seems quite good, and enjoyably surprising - the track with beanie (who sounds bizarre) sounds like it could have been produced by el-p (did he use this sample for someone else?). so i give him props for trying something a bit artier, but im not sure it really gels, and i dunno if i really want to hear pusha going arty. as a rapper, i think hes at the bottom of his barrel at this point and has nothing new to say, or no new way of repeating his usual content in a way we havent heard already.

actually, its more a split between more trad stuff (MPA sounds like something from kanye's dark twisted fantasy) and the slightly outre stuff isnt it...

beans might have had part of his lung removed cut him some slack. voice is still there but not the power. he sounded like this whenever he popped up in 2015.

love the way he can sound conversational, quickfire lock a bunch of lines together with just the tempo or some internal rhyme or hitting the assonance riding the beat and closing with a couplet quotable. never get tired of coke dealing similes, monocle magazine eye for meaningful luxury reference.

FIFA is a jam!

the new song is good, even the jay verse doesn't fuck it up

sorry about the huge link. i was posting from iphone and didn't realize

anyways ... pusha t wrote the mcdonald's jingle "i'm lovin it"

just heard this for the first time, it's p good yet a little depressing somehow

oh guess it was mentioned a bit upthread

http://genius.com/8171721 -- he annotates his own lyrics

Digging Daytona so far!

yeah it's really solid, i like the lean & mean approach. too bad the first track is such a clunker tho

i guess it starts awkward but then once the real beat kicked in i liked it
but yeah the 7 songs approach is good

It's good but he's the Paul McCartney of cocaine.

i think you mean that as a diss but being the paul mccartney of cocaine sounds pretty awesome

also i dig kanye's beats on this more than lots of stuff on tlop or yeezus

I didn't! I should've followed the advice I give students and use semicolons as often as possible.

pusha seems pretty likeable to me, and i'm happy he's getting his moment. he deserves a thread with a better name than this one!

i repeat: Pusha deserves a thread with a better name.

this is still true!

The verse is one thing but the fact that he unearthed this in the process is just... wow
http://hypb.imgix.net/image/2018/05/origin-of-pusha-t-drake-blackface-photo-the-story-of-adidon-1.jpg

been enjoying the "nardwuar helped" jokes on twitter, though of course he would never strike against a fellow canuck

Yeah a lot of that shit was personal but not "Nardwuar" random and obscure personal

lost in the madness is the fact that "Adidon" is a terrible name for a shoe line and even worse coming from someone who supposedly uses wordplay for a living.

It's magnitudes worse if the bar about him using the line reveal to go public about his son has any truth to it.

I'm all in for this ridiculous moment except for dissing a dude for having multiple sclerosis, but maybe my priorities are fucked up

No I believe it's a healthy reaction, multiple sclerosis sucks.

yeah that was below the belt. leave producers out of it!

Is it problematic to post a black face out of context just to draw the ire of someone?

I got the impression that the photos that Drake apparently commissioned himself (!) in blackface never had a very good context to begin with so they're fair game

receipts

So um I have no idea how Drake will respond to this one

the only thing drake can do now is drop a track to make pusha feel bad about hurting his feelings. "you found my blackface pics, man that really scars / i guess the T in Pusha T stands for 'took it too far'"

awesome interview, whiney. particularly loled at this part:

What was Wyoming like for you?
I didn't know what to expect, but I knew we were going to work and we were going to get all the work done. Absolutely, positively nothing but focus in a place like that. Totally not a outdoors person, I'm not into it. I'm not into wildlife. I'm not into moose. I'm not into mountain lions. I'm not into foxes, coyotes. I'm not into birds with long wingspans, snakes, hate it all. Hate it all.

Hiking?
Hate it. Not my thing.

How many times have you been camping in your lifetime?
Never. Never camping, never going. What you do is you camp out in these amazing mountain mansions.

pusha sounds like he's got Stockholm Syndrome in all these interviews. i'm kinda surprised Daytona is as good as it is.

“I’m not into birds with long wing spans” killed me lmfao

post very much in display name

Would love to hear the previous version of the album tbh.

^This

I do quite like "The Games We Play," though.

yeah i would love to have whatever King Push looked like 6 months ag AND Daytona

Recent events throw this analysis into very positive light

who's the best PR contact for Push

Is the sample on "What Would Meek Do?" from "Heart of the Sunrise"?

Just listened and yes, definitely! From the very beginning, in the little break following the introduction of the main bass riff.

saw push tonight, not bad live!

we’ve got to save him from this good music executive role, though, because there were too many musical montages of his guest spots in the middle of the show instead of full tracks of his own material. at the least his dj could have done more interpolation, maybe lyrics over diff beats

lol

The new Pusha T single with Lauryn Hill and production from Kanye West is such a great track !
(this thread's title is not really appropriate for my post but I didn't find another one about Pusha T...).
