There ain’t been enough people listening to Bleek since he got in the game that's had to tell him to rap about something else. No one cares about Bleek that much to even listen to his rhymes if it ain’t attached to Jay. I’ll just blame the massive amount of alcohol and/or weed consumed on Nore’s little show for this absurd statement.

I’m indifferent to the coke references but Push’s approach to creating songs feels less juvenile than his peers

Here’s a good example:


That “flew yo bytch to Cuba for the thrill of it…but I ain’t go just to show you what you shoulda did” :wow:

One of the hardest and equally hilarious lines ever recorded :mjlol::heh:

Dude tells his life story, and stays in a pretty reasonable wide lane. He talks about his struggles in the rap game, he brags on straight up skill, he talks about his own life, his brothers, Geezy, he tells stories, he raps in first person about selling coke, present day, when we know it's just music. It's not that different from a lot of guys.

It's certainly not different at all from Jeezy, from Bleek, from Jim Jones, even Drake. It's just Drake not a hustler. Drake never sold drugs, so he can't go that route,. But's he certainly beat everything else to death, and that's fine, you have to tell YOUR story.

The whole subject matter conversation is a weird one. He does his thing but he always ups the quality every time. Not saying Jay should have done the same, but there's whole albums where we would have rather heard Jay get in his hustler lane, rather than talk about button up shirts and beach chairs.

I like Bleek too, but he's just drunk and having fun, that's the whole point of the podcast. Barbershop/cook out convo.

One of my favorite ice breakers with people is to ask, if you had to do a 30 minute presentation or even give a speech on something with zero prep, what would it be?

For Push, I feel it would genuinely be manufacturing & distributing cocaine. Its not just a part of rap persona (like Ross, Cheezy, & Bleek), that mans identity is tied behind that. To me thats why he gets the "pass." He gon make his passion vivid, & different every time he rap about it no matter how far removed he is from it.

Edit: Solid production aint gon hurt either..
Why he not an advocate for ending the war on drugs then :beli:

Wack ass Memphis talkin bout any MC is comedy. How many garbage bag albums did he have on Rockafella? Just Blaze, Kanye beats and Jay Z raps could not save this bum.
