I think "Chains & Whips" is out and that's it.

At least that's what social media is saying.

EDIT:

Where the f*ck is the video they announced like 4 days ago?

The song should've been out like a year ago.

EDIT:

Also Pusha T was at one of them Kendrick shows last month.

Yeah I know they've had the song for a long time so they could've been sitting on this video..

But if Kendrick actually broke out while he's on tour to shoot a video that's super solid of him

He has popped up in various spots since the tour started. I know you probably seen the video of him jogging with some random kid.

Eh....

I see what you're trying to say and I agree with certain parts. But others....nah.

You can't really say he's a social climber when "Grindin'" put them on the map and here we are 20 years later with the same producer.

Grindin’ put them on the map - that was 20 years ago and outside of LW, all the Clipse albums have been commercial failures. HHNF did 80k in 2006 when people were going platinum left, right and centre and TTCD did 39k first week in 2009, way before streaming was even regarded a thought. First album was shelved before LW came out 3 years after….in normal circumstances, he would’ve been dropped and left to fend for himself on the indie circuit. Slim Thug’s album on Star Trak did 130k first week which is more than any Pusha album, solo or group and he was dropped with the quickness.

Lot of focus on numbers but the point is that he has the relationship with the same producer for 20 years because they’ve been friends since childhood, not because of the commercial success he’s delivered him. Pusha T is not walking the Louis V runway in Paris or attending the Met Gala because he’s a superstar rapper lool

Yes Ye gave him a new life but that's ignoring he also ghostwrote for Ye. People (not you, saying in general) act as if it was a completely altruistic situation on Kanye's part.

In regards to Kanye, yep he ghost wrote for him but everyone ghost wrote for Kanye - even his biggest opp ghost wrote for him loool. Ghostwriting for Kanye is like ghostwriting for Dre - you’d be more pressed to find someone didn’t ghost write for him. In this context though I’m talking about Pusha as an artist in his own regard and with 4 albums under GOOD music, he’s never cracked 100k first week - I don’t even think he’s gone gold. So in spite of him being an artist that’s never put up crazy numbers (case could be made that he’s consistently underperformed on Soundscan), he still managed to get to the position of CEO. He may shown some other ‘transferable’ skills that Kanye saw as beneficial for the position but outside looking in, it was most likely that he was the artist in GOOD that was most tight with Kanye. How you go from the below (which was just 3 years ago) to ‘I never respected him as a leader and a man for the 12 years I worked with him’ is kind of mind boggling:



This is what I’m talking about when I say social climber - his alignment with Kanye served its use to him until it didn’t…

Lastly, he beheaded Drake at the height of his popularity. I don't understand what level of hip-hop he thinks he's at, vs where he actually is. All the rapper's rappers (Nas, Jay, Kendrick, etc.) consider him a peer. Despite obviously not selling like that.

If I was him I'd be far more obnoxious than he is. I'd be talking crazy sh*t.

Fred.

Objectively speaking, he’s not a peer to Jay, Nas or Kendrick - he’s not on their level in terms of status or what they’ve achieved in their career, he just isn’t. He’s a great rapper - I literally said he’s in my top five but he’s not in the same sphere as those you mentioned and I listen to him way more than I do them. And if anything, these rappers are examples of the social climbing he does because it was through his relationships with Kanye and Pharell that he was able to get relationships with Jay (Ye), Nas, (Ye) and Kendrick (Pharell). Jay-Z didn’t give a fukk about Pusha when he was doing 16s with Ab Liva and Sandman on the Re-up Gang tapes. In fact he told Pharrell that they were one dimensional cause all they rap about is coke lol

As someone said in another thread, Pusha’s brand is Coke, High Fashion and hating on rappers that are bigger than him which is why it’s gone from beef with Wayne to Aubrey to now Travis. He hates that these rappers are more successful than him - he’ll always just find the narrative to justify the hate. But he’s an elite rapper so he does it well lol
