Pusha T is ready to close the chapter on diss tracks for good. The Virginia rapper, known for his razor-sharp bars and historic rap feuds, says he’s no longer interested in being part of lyrical back-and-forths.
“I’ve kind of been through that chapter and I’m over it,” he told Consequence. “I’m somewhere right now where I don’t even want to make music with other people, nevertheless [have] anybody else in my music or be the focus of my music.”
Right now, Pusha is focused on his work with Clipse, which he says is creatively on another level.
“What we’re doing right here [with Clipse] is, to me, so next level. I feel like the taste level is above everything else. Even being caught up in the world of it, I don’t like even the world of the people, of the back and forth, if I don’t see eye to eye with you, there’s probably things I don’t want to be there about, you know what I’m saying?”
As for the whole diss track culture, he feels it’s lost its meaning.
“It’s kind of dead to me. It’s the ransom of what a diss track used to bring: There was a clear winner. Somebody would really bow out and then that’s it; the last man standing. Now it’s just a whole bunch of noise. Even after we find winners, it’s still noise. And it’s like, man, then what’s it for?”
