"Crutches, Crosses, Caskets" and Jill Scott's appearance on "Sunshine" = A+

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?
― 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.

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.

yeah it's really solid, i like the lean & mean approach. too bad the first track is such a clunker tho
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Friday, 25 May 2018 15:25 (six years ago) link
i guess it starts awkward but then once the real beat kicked in i liked itbut yeah the 7 songs approach is good

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

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
― tsrobodo, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 12:43 (six years ago) link
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.
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 13:10 (six years ago) link
It's magnitudes worse if the bar about him using the line reveal to go public about his son has any truth to 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

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'"— demi adejuyigbe (@electrolemon) May 30, 2018

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.

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
