Virginia Beach native Pusha T is known for his descriptive rap, particularly about situations involving cocaine and other narcotics.
During an interview with Sway Calloway and Shade 45, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper described the first time he was caught by his parents involved in the type of situation he storyboards. Pusha said it was a fight in front of his folks’ house that brought his parents’ attention to his illegal activities.
“As I got older, I just ventured off into that world,” Pusha said when asked about particular lyrics in his songs. “And one time, somebody had owed me some money. We got into a scuffle–me and the person got into a scuffle. Me and a couple guys got into a scuffle. And the guy came back and shot in front of my parent’s home.”
He also described the shock that set in after the situation was over.
“My mother wasn’t home, so when she came home and she hears about all this, she’s like, ‘What you mean somebody owes you money?'” he said. “It was very disappointing…My dad, he was blown away, and it was one of those things where I could never make them feel that way again.”
Pusha also said it was his brother, Malice (now going by the name “No Malice“) that was caught first selling drugs. This would subsequently lead to him getting kicked out of the house.
“My brother stepped out early,” Pusha says. “He’s been the head of a household for years on his own.”
Pusha T recently released his solo debut studio album, My Name Is My Name. During the interview, he also talked about the lyrics of the album, leading him to also speak on the affect his parents splitting up had on him.
Watch Sway’s full interview with Pusha T below:
pusha t had both his parents in his house…he sold drugs cause he thought it was cool…he is a lame
Not lame just misinformed and lacking in knowledge of self.
Selling drugs is the easiest profession in the hood because sadly poor people seek escapism by getting high ro take their minds off their condition so there’s always somebody selling a mind altering substance or a liquor store on the corner.
Oddly people that are not from our enviornment think drug-dealing is some kind of elite occupation only reserved for the most vicious and cunning individuals in the community but the truth is that grandmothers, bus-drivers, kids, and females be dealing in some degree or the other.
It’s good Pusha T corrected his life and found something respectable to do with his life to make his parents proud….not everybody is blessed to have both parents in the home. He owes them
hes been sayin that since lord willin
Anon 2, real talk
Pusha reminds me of the privileged white kids I went to high school went that would sell weed out the bathroom for no reason, then go around bragging like their the shit afterward.
Pusha tvwas selling kilos while still signed! ” mix drug and show money biggs burke on tour”
Pusha t sold dope because ain’t shit to do in VA but cook !!
That was a dope song but the nigga grew up in Virgina beach, there’s tons of shit to do there.
Pusha T has real street crendentials unlike ross…
Ross was boosting cars and making alot more than Pusha selling dime bags to college students.
Never heard nothing about Ross boosting cars LOL get real
Ross was cuffing niggas and snitching when they tried to sneak extra noodles
Pusha T is presently using his street credentials to make music and videos with Ross as they hustle together and laugh together on their way to the bank while pimply caucasoids debate which Black dude has more street credentials. LOL, it’s funny.
^ Caucasoids? I’m black u fuck ass boy …
^ I’m only Black when I log on.
WITH BOTH PARENTS AT HOME, THIS PUNK ASS CLOWN SOLD DRUGS TO TRY TO BE “SO CALLED” COOL.
FUCKING FOOL ASS PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah just because you have both parents at home automatically means they can easily afford to put food on the table
50Cent had two grandparents in the home and a nice house but he started selling crack because he wanted fancy shoes and clothes.
trust me that house 50 lived in wasnt nice. it was a house right next to the projects lol
Drug Dealing Brothers… On the next Dr. Phil.
LMAO!
niggas wanna bring up being a real nigga. Niggas wanna talk about the streets freee the general of real niggas free gucci mane.
Guci Mane realest rapper outthere:
– this nigga throws bitches out his car
– shoot niggas dead
– beat niggas up.
Gucci aint no fantasy nigga like:
– mobb deep,
– nas escobar lol nigga only had a ticket for parking his car wrong
– 2pac never gangbanged
– rick ross
This aint something to glorify, but 2Pac shot a COP (or was it 2 of them?).. they were off duty in plain clothes harrassing a black motorist.. a stranger to Pac.. and he risked his freedom and life to help dude.. and not for some rap shit or “street cred” either. Now that’s real to me
yep, fuck gucci. nicca in jail for what again? oh yeah being a crazy
They need to do something with the excessive trolling and spaming on the site.
only studio gangsters work with Rick Ross
Only closet homosexuals actually give a fuck
Only true faggots comment without a handle
yeah cause if I would have typed something like Miller in that box it would have made a big difference
I cant believe he still talking about selling a few dimes of coke 20 years ago
Its a proven formula of his ro get people like you to comment and breathe energy into his words
@ first anon.. bitch boy pusha was selling dope while still signed to ! “Mix drug and show money biggs burke on tour “
shorty probably right around 20 yrs old talking about the price then on the streets, smhxlol
Another dime bag hustler thinking he is top dog bet this cunt didn’t even break even leave the dealing to us whiteys
Dont matter how much he dealt or how long, all that matters is he found a more lucrative hustle in music and know bums like you can add on to his hype.
whitey here moving weight and talking about dime bags of coke? lol what dealer would waste their time bagging up so little granules to sell at that price?
your credibility has been shot goofball
a dealer who was never as big as he claimed to be
not everyones moving kilos in from Miami on speed boats to Rick Ross and friends LOL
some of you really sound stupid. because you have 2 parents your life is great? i knew kids with both parents who were crackheads. parents with jobs that still couldn’t make ends meet. that’s like saying someone that went to the best college and went to the nba doesn’t deserve it because he had it easy all his life. to each is own because everyone’s experience is different.
no it’s like saying this nigga is from va beach and didn’t need to sell drugs. va beach is affluent as fuck and full of oppurtunity. maybe if he was from richmond…..but no….sounds like he did it for the same reason college kids start sellin weed…
to make money? isnt that always the point?
selling weed doesnt destroy your communities and people
If you idiots actually listened to the interview you’d have heard him say that the local news did a piece on “7 bad spots in va beach” where they took their camera crew and filmed drug activity.
I dont care how ‘affluent’ you say a city is, no city is completely the same through out the whole area. And va beach is huge a f8ck, get a map. You can drive 45 minutes+ from end to end, and still be in it.
Wrong, stfu
his a liar and if you from there you should know. thats why they have always been on their own and never go back.
Dime bags of coke? You just told the world you ain’t been nowhere close to the hustle, lol
Damn what a loser!!! I mean he doesn’t know any drug dealers or junkies thats so lame!!!! If he was near the hustle he would have been poisoning his community like all the real niggas!
his drug raps are going to be boring soon
they’ve been boring for the last 4-5 years
Daytona Bitch you were wrong. This is 5 years now lol
Daytona Bitch you were wrong. This is 5 years now lol
he needs to grow up
Both parents at home but some of you are missing it. There is no sob story here like other rappers making excuses for hustling. He’s being real when he says this album shows his mentality. Morally corrupt and greedy. That’s what drove him to hustle. Devil’s playground is boredom…check 40 Acres again.
Ayo this nigga a lame B. My momma found my crack platter she hit me so I took out my Louieville like McGuire for that matter. Killa
Damn they just gon pan Primo into the shot like nothing huh? haha
this nigga lame af
