We already determined your version of a song isn't the same as mine... So I'll list actual songs and you'll call them mixtape songs and around we go...

Like I said, you don't like him, that's fine. I don't he's on a top 50 of all time list either... But I do think he's Eli Manning.. Nah you wouldn't put him in the hall based off Peyton and Brady and Joe and them... But he did smash the greatest twice and did enough to put him there (Top 5 albums, critical acclaim, group acclaim, longevity)

But who the hell was putting him up there with DMX and Hova and shyt?

HE HAS NO ALL TIME GREAT SONGS PERIOD.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH MY NOR YOUR OPINION
OF WHAT A SONG IS.

WHEN nikkaS MAKE A LIST
OF THE 500 GREATEST HIP HOP SONGS EVER YOU WONT SEE THE NAME
PUSHA T ON THE LIST.

I’ll see Addidon on there for sure as one of the top disses of all time. But you’ll say it’s not a song. So it does have to do with opinion

“A” As if there is some definitive list. Complex gonna release one and this is gonna be on it. Just like this list we debating right now got Push on it and I dont even know who made it

Again. This is all opinions fam. Yours ain’t more correct than anyone else’s.

SO WHERE ARE HIS ALL TIME GREAT SONGS?

EVERY LEGIT RAPPER ON THAT LIST HAS EM.

:devil:
:evil:


There could be group members on that list who don't have a "great" solo song. What great solo song does Andre 3k have? Personally I'd include The Love Below songs as solo tracks for Andre but brehs been disagreeing with me for years on that. Yet Andre would be on the list. Posdnuous could easily be on the list too despite him not having a great solo song. The Clipse have undeniable classic songs (Grindin, When The Last Night, Mr. Me Too). Add in Pusha's solo albums and diss track? He fits the criteria.

But like I said earlier, it's only 50 people and I'm not gonna feel like Push HAS to be on the list if push comes to shove. Like if we were all in a conference room debating this list, am I banging the table for Pusha? No. But would I bang the table for someone like Mos Def, who was also in a group/duo? Hell yea, I'm standing on top of the table for Mos to be on the list. But I'm sure there would be people who wouldn't mind at all if Mos wasn't on there either.

:mjlol: 1. WHY DO YOU nikkaS
KEEP COMPARING OUTKAST
TO THE CLIPSE AS IF THEYRE
A TOP 10 GROUP?

IF PUSHA T WAS A PART OF A GROUP
THAT HAD 5-6 ALL TIME GREAT SONGS
THIS WOULDNT BE A DEBATE
BUT HE DOESNT.

GRINDING IS THE ONLY
HIP HOP CLASSIC THEY HAVE.

2. DUDE HAS BEEN A SOLO ARTIST
FOR 10 DAMN YRS WHICH ALSO
MAKES THE GROUP COMPARISION STUPID.

HES HAD 10 YRS TO RELEASE AN
ALL TIME GREAT SONG FROM
ONE OF THESE MANY ALBUMS
HIS DIEHARDS CALL CLASSICS.

It doesn't go platinum until it is certified. Certifications are for units shipped. Since it was certified in 2019, then it wasn't platinum until that point. It could be platinum and still not have sound scanned 1 million units because platinum and what it actually sold are NOT the same. You don't know how many units were shipped prior to 2019, so it's rather trivial to bring up that point. FACT: IT WAS NOT CERTIFIED UNTIL 2019. Anything else is pure conjecture unless you can otherwise prove it. If not, it's irrelevant.

Nas is an independent artist who is 30+ years into a career. Nas is actually an artist who was thriving 20+ years into his career and beyond. Pusha T is on G.O.O.D Music distributed by Def Jam with production split between Kanye West and The Neptunes, had a single that featured Kanye West and another that featured Jay Z. He's supposed to be selling more than Nas.
Honestly this write up about certs can be a thread by itself.

Keep cooking breh, but "Mr. Me Too" isn't a classic to you?

I'd also argue that "If You Know You Know" could be argued as a classic song.

That said, even as a fan of Pusha T, I can understand how someone would say would struggle to place them in their top 50 all time.
