Speaking during his performance at the Budweiser Made In America festival Sunday (September 3), Pusha T let fans know that Kanye West’s relentless pursuit of perfection is what’s behind the delays of his long-anticipated album, King Push.
“I’m gonna go ahead and let y’all know,” he said. “I’ve done this album like three times, right. He comes in, he pick all the beats and shit. Then he hears the beats and he scraps them and says ‘I can do better.’ He’s done that shit like three times.”
“These last two months we just been locking in, day for day, night for night, getting it perfect for y’all,” he told the crowd, throwing in a little boast, saying, “When you on your rap superhero shit, you get the luxury of taking your time.”
Kanye’s perfectionism has caused issues with albums before, with the “Famous” rapper continuing to make edits to The Life Of Pablo even after it was available to stream.
Fans have been waiting for Pusha’s full follow-up to My Name Is My Name since 2013. Pusha released a 33-minute “prelude” record all the way back in 2015, which should give fans an idea about just how effective Kanye is at holding up a record when he feels like things aren’t perfect.
In a 2014 interview with Acclaim, Pusha talked about how his G.O.O.D. Music label boss had improved his debut solo studio album.
“With [My Name Is My Name] I went out and did everything I wanted to do and brought it [to Kanye],” he says. “And from there he took that from me and made it even better.”
As of right now, there still isn’t a release date in site for the album.
Def the wrong guy to work with. Kanye perfectionism? More like confused. Huge pusha t supporter, but will be suprised if the lp will be good and by good i mean above 7.5/10
MNIMN nor TLOP weren’t very good albums at all, and the “perfectionist” claim is pure bullshit. Interest in this album is gonna fuck around and fade off much like Jay Elec’s did. You can bet Kanye/Cudi’s new joint and Kanye’s next solo album hit the streets before King Push.
“at no time during your incoherent rambling did you come close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having listened to you. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul”
Mnimn: nosetalgia and s.n.i.t.c.h alone make it better than most albums in the past 5 years.
TLOP: good songs all around, a cpl I don’t like but overall a solid album with lots of replay value.
Bruh, did you really just say MNIMN is one of the better albums of the past 5 years?? Yet you hit ME with the Billy Madison quotable?
Not sure if you’ve been listening but music the past 5 years has been trash. So the bar is not high. Didn’t say it was the best, not top 5, just one of the better ones. If you can’t see it you’re blind and that’s totally fine. You fully deserve the quote because those are 2 good albums and even the saltiest haters can agree.
Oddisee puts out some real good music. Wish he got more shine.
the albums aren’t great cause pusha t isn’t great. he’s a mid-tier rapper at best with a really predictable flow. you could put him on the greatest beat of all time and he would drag it right back to the middle. he’s not interesting, either; his whole persona is just cocaine and drug references like some tired jay z parody.
Pusha never been a boss kanye treats him like what he is a worker
I’m a boss bitch I making money moves, CEO blood money big boss!!
Kanye has all these joints with people (Push,Drake,Chance,and possibly Cudi) that wont come out anytime soon. I would like for all of them to drop but i only see that Kid Cudi collab being the only one that might see the light. I just wish he would lock in with No I.D. Again and give us a common and john legend projects. I think those are the artist that will get him focused again.
As an accountant for YMCMB, I can personally confirm that Lil Wayne is a real boss who can release albums at will. Meanwhile, Pussy T is not in control of his own destiny.
Ctfu u a whole fraud nobody believe you
i remember you from like 5 years ago. pls grow up. are u 12 every year?
Carter 5?
damn….well i’m sure this is gonna be fire…kanye is that dude when it comes to producing jack…king push is that dude too…FIRE
there has never been a hip hop album in history that has lived up to the hype generated by the wait, especially when it’s from the artists themselves.
Late registration & Graduation… Mic drop
perfect crap that gonna be good for a month if lucky….pusha name dont mean weight..his albums is average at best
IF PUSHA WAS A BOSS AFTER RAPPING FOR 20 YEARS HE COULD MAKE BOSS DECISIONS. BUT HE’S A WORKER
Real talk
smh @ taking any of Kanye’s input at this point.. Ye gonna mess this album up too
