That has nothing at all to do with the megastar in sunglasses appearing in the video

couldn't be that its a good song or he has a following, no never that :mjlol:

Pusha has a bunch of solo songs with millions of views.

THATS NOT A SONG.

HES NOT EVEN RAPPING
OVER AN ORIGINAL TRACK.

BACK TO BACK FROM DRAKE
WAS AN ACTUAL SONG.
:devil:
:evil:



The top 20 rappers are the ones with the hit songs. After that it’s the guys that have bars and songs that are limited like pusha.

so whats the litmus test for relevancy here :dead:

1.4 million views, over 7.5 months. can not have a feature with a artist who sells more than them...sells out 48% of their concerts in the continental us...


like I said I know how this coli shyt works, its rare anyone concedes anything they'll just keep adding on bullshyt so they can be "right"

when this is completely opinion no matter what stance you take.

It's misleading because he wasn't consistently making an impact for much of those 20 years though. A lot of Push's success is recent.

Twista built a name for himself in the 90's, but when he teamed with Kanye, his career went through the roof. That's not even an argument.

Common peaked with Like Water For Chocolate, but people wrote him off after Electric Circus. Then when he linked with Kanye for BE, it was both a critical and commercial comeback for Common.

"Consistently making an impact" =/= "thriving". We aren't talking about the same thing.

Most rappers aren't getting a #1 20 years into their career no matter the circumstances.

And I'm kinda confused what you mean with Twista's career going threw the roof.

"Adrenaline Rush" went plat, "Kamikaze" went plat....he had one gold album after that then that's it.

Same with Com. "Be" sold the same as "Finding Forever".

So nah, I can't say Kanye took these cats to the next level. They had a brief pop in popularity associating with him, that's it. Same with Push and "Daytona", which had the biggest first week of his career. Which brings me to my next point....


ITS DISINGENUOUS TO MENTION
#1 ON BILLBOARD WHEN 55K
CAN GET YOU A NUMBER 1 SPOT
NOWADAYS DEPENDING WHAT TIME
YOU DROPPED.

DUDE HAS DIE HARDS
WHO HAVE SUPPORTED HIM
FOR YRS.

ITS NOT LIKE HE GAINED
A BUNCH OF NEW FANS.

HIS "#1 ALBUM" ACTUALLY
SOLD 22K LESS THAN DAYTONA

:devil:
:evil:


"55k can get you a #1 spot" applies to everyone but most rappers aren't getting that 20 years into their career. If at all these days. A lot of these rappers drop and do 20k. And ain't 2 decades deep.

Take Jim out the equation because he's a loser riding dikk for a feature....

Someone could easily show me a list of 50 rappers without Pusha and I'd be fine with it. And someone could show me a list of 50 rappers with Pusha and I'd be fine with that too. Point being to me the real question is who HAS to be on the list, and whose lack of presence wouldn't bother you at all. Kool G Rap has to be on the list. Common has to be on the list. Big Boi has to be on the list. Am I gonna immediately notice or object if Fab isn't on that list? What about OC, an undeniably dope rapper. If he's not on there am I gonna freak out? Hell what if Inspecta Deck isn't on the list, would I personally throw a red flag? No.

50 isn't a lot of people. It's one rapper per year hip hop has existed. And by the time you add pioneers and must-have rappers you aren't left with too many open spots.

This is basically how I feel.
