Pusha T gave a lecture at Harvard University School of Business on Thursday (March 31) at the Harvard Yard & Yenching Library addressing an array of topics followed by a 45-minute discussion with students.
“It was an amazing experience hearing a Harvard professor recite my lyrics at this lecture thanks for having me @Harvard,” King Push captioned on an Instagram video of a professor reciting the lyrics to his “Momma I’m So Sorry” verse off Clipse’s 2006 album Hell Hath No Fury.
Since Push was appointed President of G.O.O.D Music November of last year one student asked him how he plans on using his new position to elevate the rap game.
“I feel like it’s my job and my duty, as well, to help uplift the new creatives coming in,” the “Retribution” rapper said.
Elsewhere in his lecture, Pusha T touched on other matters such as the glorification of drug dealing versus the reality, issues concerning the Black community and the importance of using music for not only redemption but for social justice among other points.

My nigga Pusha T is doing it big. He’s at Harvard educating students about business and showing that it’s okay to have cornrows in your thirties.
I’m sorry but Pusha-T is trash. Coke rap but you’ve been removed from all that for like, 15 years? President of a Label. Gtfoh. New creatives. Man; you’ve dropped like 200 bars and still haven’t said ANYTHING.
America, you need a miracle
Beyond spiritual
I need a realer view
I hold a mirror to it
These ain’t new problems, they just old ways
I see one time turn sunshine into Freddie Gray
Just another nigga dead, just another nigga dead
Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs
Not guilty, still I’m filthy
In FOX eyes, we the dark side
So they tell you lies
Through a TV, C-N-B-C
C-N-N, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
In order to be me
You gotta see what Chief Keef see
Brenda’s baby next door to the candy lady
Same project as Candy Man where they still doing hand-in-hands
Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day
Grandma praying someday
But God can’t hear it over gun play
Woo! Still a target, but the badge is the new noose
Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain’t enough proof
So we still lose
How can you hate on this? Great success story. Selling drugs in VA to speaking at Harvard. A lot of dudes would have failed when a rap duo like the clipse broke up and he was somewhat forced to go solo. My man Pusha persevered has put out some classic music, became pres of GM, and is now lecturing at Harvard. Harvard wouldn’t have asked him to come speak if he didn’t have some real shit to say.
