Pusha T Says “Cruel Winter” Is A “Q-Tip/Kanye Thing”

    Kanye West is reportedly at work on the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer, tentatively titled Cruel Winter. While Q-Tip was the first to break the news, Pusha T recently spoke with Semtex about the possibility of the album, saying that the LP is being decided by Tip and ‘Ye and that he would contribute more verses if they asked.

    Cruel Winter, man, I don’t know. I know there are other records. I don’t personally know about Cruel Winter,” he said. “That’s a Q-Tip/Kanye thing. Q-Tip and Kanye, they have conversations, I’m not made privy to those conversations. I come in, do my verses and I’m out. They have the collective sit-downs, war of the minds shit like that. He asked me to talk on it. I’m not sure. I don’t know. If ‘Ye decides to do something like that, then I’m sure he has material and if he needs more, he knows one phone he can call and we can do that. But I’m not sure.”

    He also said that he initially recorded 20 verses for Cruel Summer but that some didn’t make the final cut because they didn’t fit the aesthetic. Pusha also noted that he had a song called “Trash Bags” with Common and Big Sean that was left on the cutting room floor.

    “I know that I myself recorded 20 verses. So that means… I don’t know how many songs are on Cruel Summer now, but just understand… There are so many records you guys haven’t heard yet. I’ve got records where Common – and this is just the energy of the whole thing – me and Sean will be working on a record called ‘Trash Bags’ about some strip club shit, and Common, he’ll come into the session like, ‘That’s hot! I want to get on that!’ Totally not Common’s vein normally, but he was adamant about getting on it. He gets on the track, murks it, doesn’t make Cruel Summer. Just the theme, content, whatever it was.”

    1. Kanye West is reportedly at work on the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation “Cruel Summer”, tentatively titled Cruel Winter

    2. No release date for Pusha T’s solo album yet. No mixtaple planned release date either. No indsutry buzz. No buzz in the streets. Pusha T is washed up. He doesn’t even write any lyrics…Malice writes for him.

      1. ur full of shit.. u were probably 6 years old back when Clipse emerge & don’t know shit about ‘im… Push & Malice said a long time ago that they write four bars, compare, then write another four bars.. that’s their process.. kill urself

    3. While Cruel Summer was disappointing, it wasn’t bad by any means, but it still could have been so much better than what it was. Given all the info on how much they recorded, and how much stuff was cut for the album, it should have had more than 12 songs, especially since 5 of them were singles. I can still get excited for this though, hopefully it’s what Cruel Summer should have been.

    4. Mr dicksweat as made a rather remarkable recovery from his affliction to teach the little people of the world something….

    5. Must make Pusha feel like less than a man when Kanye puts Crusty Tip on most of the songs, as well as conduct secret sit-downs where Pusha isn’t invited. Be your own man Pusha. Take your career in the direction you want it too. Don’t wait for Kanye to pull the strings.

    6. See pusha t you have to understand it’s not a Q-tip/Kanye thing its a dick/tip thing…
