Who is on your playlist making better music in 2022? Of course you probably don’t understand it depending on who you’re listening to.Pusha T raps like a poster on a Jay-Z messageboard writing fan fiction rap. I'll never get the late career resurgence of this nikka with the same raps, same braids, same faux Camp Lo voice, and same stupid face that can't sell any of the mid-lyrics of his coke ducktales.
Everyone on my playlist
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA @ Pusha T albums being difficult to comprehend
Bless't
Living the dream
We need a new Clipse album.
Brambelton is so hard, Im might watch the Vlad interview 
KillerB88
Superstar
Ye is listed as the sole producer for DotP. You’re thinking of Diet Coke… and Push didn’t even like the beat until Ye reworked it. Then it ended up as the lead single
Street Messiah

I don't care what you think about a single thing, you dork.
The guy is a caricature of himself. He's a mediocre Jay-Z impersonator in lyrical form. The irony is all these cats talkin this laughable "Push makes music for street nikkas" ignore that his resurgence is tied directly to the same hiphop blog CACs they selectively dismiss when one of them pens a review they don't like. White boys loved the Clipse and the Dips - both had significant cache among the hipster doofus set. And if you like Push, cool - like the nikka and his music. Some loser negged me talking about me being a drake stan when I've never listened to a drake album on purpose in my life. Which is the most fascinating aspect of all this: social media and online communities gradually transformed the way we discuss music. People latch onto rappers like brands, and discuss their albums like one would do the latest iPhone - they start from the assumption that, just as the artists claims, the album is a classic. Any attempt to discuss things about it that might not be so good is dismissed as hating or "CAC and c00n" opinions. Or if you're critical it must be because you like another rival rapper. None of these nikkas are interesting enough to support to that tribal extent. It's hilarious to observe but ultimately warped.
Personally, Pusha T kills me because he fails to hit any of the kind of notes I like from rap. There's swagged out, Black Super Hero rap - music that just makes you feel cool because of the sheer arrogance and attitude of the MC. There's thoughtful rap, that delves into day-to-day issues and such. And there's introspective street nikka rap, full of intricate details and reflections and insights into hood lifestyles. Push does none of that. He sells coke in repetitive "clever" bars and is very disgusted by snitches. He is really into watches and name brands and offended when you don't have an adequate grasp of the finest of those things. He has the swagger of RG III if Griffin had a couple hood adjacent friends who sold dope. He sounds like the lost member of Camp Lo. He tried to go pop and it didn't work. He penned corny McDonalds and Arby's commercials. He raps about cocaine in a fukking Arby's commercial. He's a caricature of himself. Like the Henny Youngman or Milton Berle of cocaine rap. I just flew in from Mexico with the bricks, and boy are my arms tired. Take my coke, please! He called himself Cocaine's Dr. Seuss, but he's more Daffy Duck, just tapdancing on wax, spiitin bar after bar about cocaine trafficking while the CACs beam in delight, as if he's performing cocaine c00nery.
The idea of having to be from the street to really get Push is also hilarious. The nikka looks like half a herb and he's the right hand to a legit c00n. And his fanbase is a bunch of CACs and suburban nikkas. Who are yall kidding with this nonsense. The internet done really convinced yall you from the street? That you understand the ins and out of dope distributing? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
To his credit Pusha T has done one thing exceedingly well: kept his feet in room with industry influencers. So even though hardly anyone cares about his mid ass music, it's always be well reviewed and promoted due to his associations and connections, and he'll be able to land shyt like a Jimmy Fallon performance (and good lord was that a swaggerless performance). But the dude is boring as can be and has very little presence on top of his woeful lack of substance.
This opinion really shouldn't upset you. There are 100 other fanboys in the thread to comfort you if you love this lame nikka. Just keep listening to the album and calling it a classic. You'll be okay.
As much as I love Push and this album I’ve always found it weird that nobody really talked about how he and his bro are “inspired” by Vol.3 era HovPusha T raps like a poster on a Jay-Z messageboard writing fan fiction rap.
