It’s Almost Dry is Pusha’s masterpiece, not Daytona

[Braman]

Going back to listen to both

IAD is damn near flawless. It’s the album that finally sounds like a rapper who has Kanye and Pharrell as his go-to producers.

Storytelling- Brambleton
Classic ‘wtf is that beat ’ street anthem- Diet Coke
Classic Jay feature- Neck & Wrist
Indy off kilter cult favorite type shyt- Rock n Roll
Grimy street shyt- Call My Bluff
Powerful track- clipse reunion Pray for You

Daytona is great but…it’s 7 songs It just can’t compete. Depending on your tastes you probably dont like all 7 songs. To me only IYKYK, Santeria, and What would meek do are elite classic level songs. The rest are just ‘nice’ …7 ‘nice’ songs is not a classic. Peope forced that. We got IAD now no need to force Daytona. IAD is the masterpiece

 

[nahnah]

Nope.

And Darkest Before Dawn shyts on Its Almost Dry

 

[re'up]

None are flawless, but all good albums. Don't think he has got it exactly right yet, Daytona, just due to it's length is probably closest.

Brambelton was fire. Smokers Shine The Coops is raw.

 

[Timbs]

If it didn't start with Brambleton I'd agree, it works better as a track 2 than an opener

 

[boskey]

No way. It's Always Dry isn't even better than that Darkest Before Dawn like @nahnah said

 

[HiiiPower]

Naw

Daytona and darkest Before Dawn are better

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Absolutely loved Daytona when it came out but IAD has more overall replayability IMO

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Daytona is harmed by being so short imo

This feels like more of a complete project. If the former had like 3 more quality songs on it though…

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

All of his albums IMO are close to classic, not quite there but he comes awfully close. The thing for me has been his consistency.

Say what you will about the content, but as far as his lane goes he’s the best at it.

I hope the album he made with Madlib sees the light of day because if so, it could potentially top everything we’ve heard from him so far.

What i don’t understand is everyone so quick to throw the classic label on every above average album these days but Pusha’s last like 4 albums been way above average and don’t get that label.

shyt on, no but I do think it’s close

 

[ECA]

Daytona is about the length of some hardcore albums. I don't have an issue running short albums byke

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Daytona

 

[elizjon]

I agree OP. I truly think Push might be the only rapper who outdoes himself with every project nh (if we’re not counting Clipse albums).

IAD > Daytona > DBD >>> MNIMN >> FoG 1 & 2

 

[GollyImGully]

im not mad at this take Its Almost Dry is fire all straight through to me

I forgot how hard darkest before dawn hit. But that was missing cohesion to me
