Pusha T, who released his new album My Name Is My Name yesterday (October 8), recently said that Kanye West asked him to avoid “radio records.”
“You weren’t allowed to use that type of terminology in the studio,” Pusha T says in an interview at New York radio station 105.1’s The Breakfast Club. “Anybody who came in, and you know, we let anybody come in and hear the music we was making, and that was for Yeezus and for My Name Is My Name. Totally against radio records, man. We was just going to do what we wanted to do.”
Pusha T said that Kanye West told him that Yeezus was better than My Name Is My Name.
“[Kanye] actually did tell me that,” Pusha said, before adding that West told him, “Well, uh, I actually think my album is better.”
