Pusha T was pissed off. With the fury of
having Hell Hath No Fury delayed, the rapper went at his label like
this during a Rolling Stone interview:
“I hate Jive with
all my heart and all the passion and my soul.”
Now, he has gone on to explain just why he was that mad.
“We do street rap where we feel that everything is
dictated from the streets. And the hype and the buzz that you garner is
something that can’t be taken away from you. The record label, all they have to
go by is what reads on paper. So it’s like, as far as the Rolling Stone issue
goes, it was a situation where it was a rough day. And I feel like my core
audience — the people who kept us relevant for all these years and the time on
hiatus — is waiting. So, you know, for them to say that sh– was pushed back, I
was upset and I spazzed out,” he told MTV recently.
But Pusha understands the business.
“In all fairness, it has to be hard to put millions
of dollars into a situation and to just go off what the streets is saying
without any type of real gauge…But at the end of the day, record-label people
are not in the streets like that…It turns into a trust thing. You have to
trust the artists sometimes,” he adds.
Pusha’s clearly on a mission now.
“I ain’t trying to start no campaign [for our
release]…All I’m trying to do is get this music out and make my fans happy.
We want to carve our path in this industry. We’re the best hip-hop duo in the
game. I don’t want to talk to record labels anymore, I just want to compete. I
want to let people know what hip-hop is really supposed to be about. That’s all
I’m trying to do. That’s it. Once we get on the court, we’re gonna win,”
he explained.
The long awaited album Hell Hath No Fury may
finally see a finalized release date in early December.
