:ohhh:

Usually I don't listen to DJ Akademiks as a source, but if this true I wonder why Universal execs want Aubrey's head. The only thing I could think of is taking his label to a rival company (Warner).

Thoughts?

Why else would a 41 year old rapper with limited success previous to all of this get a proverbial rocket strapped to his back ... in a era where 9/10/11/12 year old... basically pre-teen acts are getting record deals and social media promotion.

Pusha has always been known and respected. Yall act like he's been some underground rapper his whole career. I doubt UMG is taking his side but its not surprising industry people showing him more love than Meek got. Clipse always got love and were respected.

Drake has been backed by the machine since day one.

But let's not get it twisted on Pusha's part..

I dont see ASAP ROCKY getting a placement on any late night shows performing joints off his new album released during the same week like Pusha did on Jimmy Kimmel last night:manny:

Not that this is accurate, but I do feel label execs feel some type of way about the dominance of hip hop right now. They can’t really control it or the narrative.

Drake is like Swiss Army knife of music and is able to do so much musically. He’s also helping and one of the main reasons hip hop is so dominant right now. He’s pretty much helping a lot of rappers eat cause everything he touches turns to gold.

What better way to stop the dominance of hip hop than to take out the main dude who’s controlling so much in music.
