August 7, 2003 - Pusha T has forgotten his mother's birthday and is reminded of it only because she is calling his cell phone now and he sees her number on the user ID. It is 11:00pm and he had planned on speaking with her earlier but he is tired now. He lets the phone ring and does not pick up.

thanks for responding FC.marlo's nihilistic because american society has basically told him and everyone he knows to die in the gutter/prison. his world is really grim! he keeps relentlessly and joylessly gobbling up power because he can't help himself. it's a personality type that is rewarded here.
i basically imagine the 1% wealthiest people IRL to be as sociopathic and single-minded about power as marlo is, i mean how else could they live with themselves? i don't imagine they're any happier than marlo is, either. just read that article about mitt romney moping around the house after he lost the election.
marlo's basically a test case for what happens when capitalism is completely unregulated...you get some scary ppl running things.

"you want it to be one way, but it's the other way"-the security guard is pleading with marlo for a small measure of dignity and respect for his fellow human being. marlo is saying no, that's not how society works. and i have more money and power than you do, so i'm right.

X: Is it weird that you see coke Rap becoming a type of popular mainstream thing?
Pusha T: Yeah. I was just talking to CNN about coke Rap. And I was like, “Man, that’s so funny, because I know who made that term up.” The person who made that term up was like a blogger who loves Pusha T and Malice for articulate Rap and metaphors and things like that. But to coin it “coke Rap”—to love me for what you love me for and coin it that—is annoying. But it is what it is. They make these subcultures and genres. They didn’t call it coke Rap when Melle Mel was rhyming about the streets and so on and so forth. So it’s whatever.
DX: Well the idea of cocaine went from moving weight to something people stuff in their makeup compact at dance parties…
Pusha T: Yeah, that’s reality. It’s not called, “coke EDM” either. They don’t do that at all.

"King Push" is still an amazing beat, "New Slaves" on steroids

new album is pretty good. kehlani does one of the hooks! beanie sigel shows up!

beanie's voice has become so weird :(
the only song i like is 'got em covered' with ab-liva and an incredible timbaland beat.

i dig this
yeah beanie i didn't recognize at first, i think he's had a hard decade
it is funny though, like if you ghostwrite for someone for so long you sort of unconsciously pick up their verbal mannerisms which i hear a bit on this album -- pusha delivering lines just like kanye would deliver them
i like "f.i.f.a" beat a lot

man the Timbaland beats on this are his best in forever. 'Untouchable' is so good.

"Crutches, Crosses, Caskets" and Jill Scott's appearance on "Sunshine" = A+
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 02:52 (eight years ago) link
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.
― nova, Wednesday, 13 January 2016 16:49 (eight years ago) link
this is pretty good - is every track going to be on "king push" proper?
― the late great, Friday, 15 January 2016 07:00 (eight years ago) link
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.
― StillAdvance, Monday, 18 January 2016 12:37 (eight years ago) link
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...
― StillAdvance, Monday, 18 January 2016 12:51 (eight years ago) link
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.
― dylannn, Monday, 18 January 2016 16:39 (eight years ago) link
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.
