“People tried to crucify Meek, but he didn’t lie” – This was the basis of newly appointed president of GOOD Music, Pusha T’s, feelings in regards to the Drake and Meek Mill feud.
“I just have to say that you don’t crucify people who didn’t lie to you” the former The Clipse rapper said of Meek Mill. You may remember the infamous moment that Meek took to Twitter to let the world know that Drake “doesn’t write his own raps,” back in the summer. Pusha T, who admitted to listening to both Meek and Drake, went on to discuss the idea of originality and authenticity no longer being important to the rap game. “I just feel like the principles of 2002 aren’t the principles of 2015,” he explained. “I just watched how people handled it… I think this is an example of where people are in the world, who the critics are, and so on and so forth.” When asked about the state of the rap game and it’s current sound, Pusha didn’t sound too impressed. “Me, personally, I have sort of… given up hope in regards to my—well, I don’t wanna say I’ve given up hope. I’m gonna say that I don’t put my rap principles on everybody.”
In reference to Future, Pusha says that he was “too early” when it came to the Dirty Sprite rapper. “When I think of turn up music, I go back to 2012 when I did a record with Future called “Pain.” And I put it out, and I got panned because people were like—why are you dealing with Future, what is wrong with you, Pusha T, are you crazy?! They were going crazy. Fast forward, every backpacker, every hipster, every critic has his cup of lean. And they understand every word Future says, verbatim. That is the curse of being early.” he stated.
King Push also discussed his upcoming album, Darkest Before Dawn. The rapper says that the album, which is a prelude to King Push, features songs from a long list of some pretty well-know producers– like Timbaland, Diddy, Kanye, and Q-Tip kind of “well known.” He went on to explain that he felt he got the “darkest moments” out of these producers who are mostly know for their club-driven hit records.
