Yea, we can give Pusha-T the artist hella props. We can give love for making an incredible album. We can applaud him for dismantling Drake. But what's being unsaid is how he managed the GOOD Music rollout, especially when Kanye damn near dismantled it all with his MAGA hat wearing, Trump supporting, free thinking bullshyt and the TMZ fiasco.

According to Push, he had Kanye to stay low-key, forced to handle the roll out of all of these albums to be silent until the week of, arguably used Infrared as not just bait for Drake, but to add hype into the situation, and then with Adidon, pretty much ruined all the hype for Drake's album roll over while all month it's been anticipation of each GOOD release.

And imagine how much return coming in and huge promo for the label. Yes, Kanye had the vision and did the production, but Pusha-T was the man behind the scene ensuring everything should go as planned.

I don't believe he orchestrated this to be in tune with his own and Ye's project. I believe Infrared was def bait and Drake fell for it and the rest is history but that was only as part of Push's own roll out. I don't think anyone knew for sure that Story of Adidon would blow up as much as it did.

In fact, I think Ye is actively trying to kill the hype of Push to get the attention back on himself. That's why I think Ye wanted to dead this. It was overshadowing his own shyt.

I don't think Pusha ever expected too much hype would be around him per'se, but he is still the President of the label and therefore is hands on behind the scenes ensure the roll out goes as it should. The only person he has to answer to is Ye himself. So for Kanye drawing attention was to be expected, but Pusha T said in several interviews that he had to keep Kanye low-key after the TMZ debacle because he already damaged the original intent for the roll out. So, he made adjustments to keep in order for that not to be derailed due to Kanye's antics.
