His solo projects are fire
Yeah I agree, i dont really see Push as being as one dimensional as ppl portray him to be. I think theres way more nuance and layers than ppl give him credit for. And even here, first song out the gate we get a heartfelt, sentimental, vulnerable and introspective Pusha T. The hes just a coke rapper trope is played tbh.

Also dozens of other artists are fairly one dimensional and don’t get trashed for it to nearly the same degree

Highly anticipated :dead:
Ya boy in a mansion with some mid Croation pornstar with botched plastic surgery face and hes looking around and just sees a crew of opportunists who half of them been extorting him for a decade plus, a Chappelle show players ball character of a dad who only there for the money and a dopey faced son who's probably off in the corner staring at a spot on the wall blankly chewing on a crayon humming Euphoria talking bout "do doe dudda bout dahh, dadda done doe dudda bow dahh" and Drake hasn't felt so alone and out of place since he was 10 years old visiting his pops and his Memphis cousins were all crowded around him slapping the fukk out his stomach screaming "pink belly, pink belly, pink belly"

Dudes forget how gassed every Pusha verse was in The Re-Up Gang days and everyone begging for a solo. Then he went solo and suddenly Malice is better :dahell:I love The Clipse but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't always most looking forward to Pusha's verses. Either way, I'm here for the album.
That definitely was the general consensus but there was always a group of Clipse heads that gave the edge to Malice because of his verses having elements that you just felt more, it just sounded realer and hit you in the gut more, was more balanced and introspective.

Think of it like this, Mob Figaz, AP.9 was the better rapper from a technical standpoint right? On paper the lyrics were better from a structural standpoint, inside rhyme schemes, multi syllabics what have you but, Jacka rhymes you felt in your soul, Jacka hit you with that raw self reflective shyt, that I'm playing with my nose and dabbling in hop behind the homies backs cause my actions have left nightmares in my conscious.

And I use the comparison of Jacka to Malice because the common denominator which I think is why those who say Malice over Push or J.A. over AP.9 is the God/religion connection, they both had that reflective, repentant, my sins are weighing heavy on my soul aspect to their drug dealer raps.

For me this is what made me say Malice is on another level after the first spin of Lord Willin

Malice verse on "Im Not You"

It shames me to no end
to feed poison to those
who could very well be my kin
but where theres demand
someone will supply
so I feed them their needs
at the same time cry
yes it pains me to see them need this
all of them lost souls
and I'm their Jesus
deepest regret
and sympathy to the streets
I seen them pay for their fix
when their kids couldn't eat
and with this in mind
I still didn't quit
and that's how I know that I ain't shyt
my heart bleeds
but that's aside from the fact
I live for my kids, and theirs
and them youngins after that
:whew:

It's why I rate Styles over Jada too, but by no means do i not understand why ppl would view Pusha as the better rapper and i have no intention of slighting Push either, I never didn't enjoy a project from him and i view him as a top tier lyricist but, for me personally I put Malice in the same category as rappers like Jacka or Styles or Pac or Kendrick, the penned scrolls hit the soul.
