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

[KravenMorehead™]

???

i thought the album was aight, playing it on the macbook, but i saw the vid where push was in i think NY or toronto or something, the vid in this thread and he was sticking out of the sunroof tossin CDs at fans and I imagined playin the album in that car and gettin a whole different vibe. Album is meant to be played in that kinda setting/mood so I'm judging it outta context. I classify albums like that as "Maybach music", as in you need to be in that kinda stratosphere/ look at it from the context to really feel where the artist was coming from sonically. Same with Magna Carta Holy Grail, and of course rick ross shyt. Alotta artists become millionaires and live a multimillionaire lifestyle so they begin to make music from that vantage point, and people aren't there themselves so they judge it in a different context than the artist meant...

Don't have Gibbs but will cop. Don't care about a Ballin Like I'm Kobe mixtape, but Lil Herb is cool. It's neck and neck with D2/D2.5 (which has 30 tracks and is obviously better), and TPAB isn't even better than GKMC, nor did Kendrick even drop the best album from California this year.

i hope he's saving the majority of the Neptunes production for this album. He said he was in the lab with BOTH P and Chad so its possible he saved all of that for April

i think King Push will be way more mainstream sounding w/ R&B features and shyt ... he's been saying this one was for the die-hards
