When did you realize Pusha T was embarassing

Im SWeating grinding this bytch

When the feds came down on their manager, Anthony Gonzalez, for REALLY being heavy in the drug game, and the clipse had all those interviews and youtube clips like "we didn't know nothing about that man, we were just rapping man, it's all just entertainment man"

At least Malice kept it 100 and quit doing the coke raps altogether...Pusha jumped right back into doing them after nothing came down on him...which is funny...cause Gonzalez was in to a ton of shyt so you know this dude Pusha had to be SQUEAKY fukkING CLEAN for the feds not to indict him on anything...dude probably doesn't have a parking ticket...then when Pusha jumped back into the coke rhymes he was like "they just metaphors for my life man"...exposing himself for not even knowing what a metaphor is...

He a nice rapper...but I find him so lame as a person that I can't really bump his music anymore...Just something lame about a dude that old still talking about selling drugs...with grey in his beards and cornrows...:gtfoneegah:

Well he obviously wasn't selling coke after he was a platinum-selling rapper. And his lyrics are obviously fantastical, comical levels of ("I'm touching the hands of the growers"...really?). But he was in the game before rap.

The thing about Clipse is they don't have the typical drug dealer turned rapper story. They didn't come up poor in the hood selling crack trying to survive. They come from a family that's generationally deep in the drug game dating back to when they lived in the Bronx. They're sort of like the dope dealer equivalent of spoiled rich kids whose inherit their dad's business.

Anyone from the 757 can tell you that they never had close to the groundswell of local support you would expect from a group that is the first to put your region's streets on the hip-hop map. People knew they were some suburban dudes from Kempsville. It didn't help that in their first video, Grindin' (we'll forget about The Funeral) they shot the video in some projects that they're never in. Norfolk dudes in particular were pissed about that and straight shytting on them.

They've always got a ton of local hate. I never understood it because they made dope music and they helped put the region on and that was good enough for me. It's always been about the music for me. I don't really care if the artist is kicking whether it's Clipse acting like they rub elbows with the Medellin cartel, Ross claiming Noreiaga owns him plenty favors, Raekwon's 20+ years of "pyrex visions," Mobb Deep murdering more people than the Israeli Defensive Force, or Jadakiss driving a bulletproof Bentley batmobile with a platinum ejector seat.

Thread is a perfect example of fans who over identify with men they don't know and let their opinion cloud their judgment on the artists music.


TS you're better than this. Push is one of the best mainstream MCs doing it period...

 

[VladTheImpaler]

Those faces he make are embarrassing and this is a classic thread!

Wow!

 

[TheDarceKnight]

his best solo track imo

That and this too. Nottz produced both I think,

 

[onelastdeath]

My Name Is My Name was average?

 

[Crakface]

Was it:​

• When you realized his age and that he dresses like a 14 year old female tomboy
• When you realized he literally has one subject in a decade+ of rhyme
• When Reup gang broke up and it dawned on you that he cant carry tracks by himself.
• When his album came out, and you tried so hard to like it...to realize...average is average
• When it dawned on you "wait...he really DOES think he's the best"
• When you realized he is Rick Ross without the charisma.
• When his brother abandoned rap and he doubled down on coke rhymes.
• When his cocaine ducktales got sillier as his career progressed.
• When you found out who is malice and who is pusha....and realized that malice was always better.
• BONUS: "when he refused to cut off those dusty ass braids"

• For me...it was this:

How are you still doing covers of 15 year old songs and ripping off 15 year old videos???

When this nikka was acting like he had all kind of money but still wearin wifebeaters and dressing like a garbage man.

At the start of this video....

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

That and this too. Nottz produced both I think,

Nottz and Push a combo was ill. Plus he left his usual coke comfort zone which was refreshing.

At this point we all know Pusha is talented but he ain't making a lot of music worth revisiting. I could care less for the drug raps

of course he's still at it. Daytona was critically acclaimed and beloved by the people for days. One of the best hip-hop projects of the 2010's.

The fukk else ya'll want him to do?
