Pusha T - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude (Discussion Thread)

[NoHalfWay]

I wonder if he's gonna rap like that from now on. I hope it's a temporary thing.

It can't be helped... unless he gets a lung replacement

I for one think his verse on Keep Dealing is disgusting. Delivery and all, his low pitch matched the mood of the track. You can still hear the hunger in his voice...

Some of you have awful fukking taste. This shyt is fukking flames. Pusha blessed us again.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Yeah I am loving this--so this isn't the actual actual album though??? Damn I wonder what heat he saving for that if this is this damn good

 

[head shots101]

weird seeing all the negative comments in here. this shyt was fire to me on first listen

makes sense though because i felt like Pusha's previous projects were kinda weak and everybody else seemed to like those.

This might be AOTY for me

1. Downloaded the album via torrent.
2. Went to Amazon.com.
3. Searched for the album.
4. Previewed 6 or 7 songs.
5. Closed my browser.
6. Deleted the album from my downloads folder.

Pusha T doesn't know how to pick dope beats, he's on a budget or he's simply giving too many people hook ups on the production.

I need to put new speakers in my whip just to properly enjoy this. First and last song are my favorites so far.

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY. im sure the wordplay and pen is strong but i cant get past the beats. the Intro is fire plus the one with beanie. But cant get past the beats. Maybe next time.

That's exactly how I feel about Beanie's verse. His new flow with 1 lung is kind of slower and more deliberate, but on this track it was perfect. It probably wouldn't make sense on some lively Just Blaze/Jahlil Beats production.

As far as the entire album, could not have asked for more other than that awful "Got Em Covered" track. That beat is embarrassing and Timbaland should be ashamed, especially after giving Pusha T such a dope beat (Untouchable) on the same album. Pusha's coke raps make me feel like I can make coke from a napkin and a rubber band.

Not sure where people are getting "" as far as the production goes. Other than Got Em Covered, it's A1 from start to finish.

I cant stop playing F.I.F.A

This is flames, I liked that he stayed away from that r&b shyt and rapped straight up. Wish Retribution was only him and not with khelani but that song isn't bad either.

 

[Demonic Jenkins]

This one of the better rap releases in recent memory. Right next to TPAB for best rap album of 2015.

Pusha is a master lyricist, an all time great talent in prime form. The contrast between this and all of these new gen tryhards is ridiculous. Push is effortless and classic on the mic.

I got to give this 5 mics. Pusha has certainly learned a lot from working with The Neptunes. His beat selection is impeccable.
