Will Pusha T, 45 years old, ever give up his cocaine gimmick?

[datnigDASTARDLY]

More cocaine raps. Rhyme from the perspective of a scale. You can never have enough rhymes about cocaine and Pusha is very skilled at rhyming about cocaine.

Y’all the type of nikkas to wanna hear Young Jeezy make a song about his childhood. If he ain’t talking bout selling dope in that childhood, I don’t wanna hear it. fukk outta here.

Nobody complain when 4’2 Dugg horse jockey sized body ass talk about selling heroin in every damn bar. More cocaine rhymes Push. fukk these nikkas.

Sounds to me like you don't understand the importance of "image". Seems like black men are the only group who doesn't care about their collective image as a group.

No other group of men are constantly having their image demonized and criminalized to the world like the black man. If you are a black man yourself, you should know this.

The black man's image has been reduced to gangbangers, thugs and drugdealers. That's damn near the DEFAULT SETTING of a black man in this society.

Your post suggests that I care about what others think. I don't. I barely interact with "other's" period. But that's my point .....I have a bigger picture. I think about us as a collective and I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE our collective image.

Sad that I seem to be in the minority.

These whiteboys and Asians who listen to rap don't have the same image problems as the average young black male.

I want you to take a look at this video:



It's a whiteboy prank video of him fukking with people at an ATM.

If a black male did this same prank the cops would be called or he would even be killed due to paranoia by the person he's doing the prank on. The whiteboy can get away with doing pranks like this because he's not viewed by society as a "savage".

Rap music has destroyed our collective image. Crazy that we as black people don't see this.

should probably take a look at real life before thinking its because of rap.

Rap is a reflection of our acceptance of and the dominance of hood culture within the AA community.

That white boy is not taken as seriously as a black man because guess who the majority of robbers in pretty much every American city are?
Before you neg or come at me sideways you can look up the numbers yourself

Push is good in his element.

I think lot of casual/mainstream fans here like to hate him because he’s in his 40’s and has maintained relevance by just being able to rap his ass off in a traditional emcee sense: wordplay, vocab, metaphors, symbolism, rhyme patterns, etc. with no melodies and trend-hopping. He’s the last one left really.

Everything about him on paper sounds like he should be just another washed 90’s coke rapper but he isn’t.

He’s relevant because he said bad things about Drake and he’s a Kanye lackey

No one has ever cared about His music

 

[L@CaT]

When you use the word Coke and Rap interchangeably you realize Pusha don’t ever have to change his style because Rapping about Coke is simply a Metaphor for Rap

He’s relevant because people have bought his records for 20 years.

He just debuted #1 20+ years into his career and you said he’s not relevant.

#1 with 50k sold

Push solo music or career has never had an impact on hip hop

 

[africngiant]

Future damn near 40 about to drop another album about strippers, drugs and designer clothes but same Coli posters complaining about Push hyped for that one

 

[imfromthesouthside]

Wrong

His peers would disagree but why are you always so obsessed with everything but the music? It seems your music taste is based off what everyone else like.

These dudes pick and choose. Depending in who it is, they'll turn a blind eye and nod their heads to it.

Hip-hop is a large reason why black men are largely viewed as child-like by society.

Just look at what the majority of rap music is about and then look at some of these older rappers and how they carry themselves:









Rap music keeps it's listeners and the image of the black man in a perpetual state of adolescence. Rap music is a large reason the WORLD looks at black men as the least responsible, least likely to be husband/ good father material, etc.

I disagree with people who say "if you grow out of hip-hop, you were never hip-hop in the first place".

That couldn't be more untrue. I'm 38 now and I've been obsessed with rap since I was 10 but now as I've grown as a person , more specifically a black man, I just can't sit and digest the majority of content in rap. Rap music is probably like 10% if my listening now.

I like Pusha for his lyricism / pen game but his content and most content in rap period doesn't sit right with my spirit any longer.

But am I a hypocrite tho? Because if Pusha was to switch up his style and go the Nelly route for example, I would be the first one to laugh, point my fingers at him and say "nah bruh, this ain't it. Go back to ya old style"

theres no other music thats pushed as a school to jail pipeline like rap music, you're not wrong as ive got older I look at it differntly too
