Pusha T’s upcoming album, My Name is My Name, is slated to feature Kendrick Lamar.
“He’s on a record called ‘Nosetalgia,'” Pusha said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “We gave two perspectives [on the song]. [Kendrick Lamar] was giving more, looking from the inside of his home and how his family and his crusade through the drug epidemic affected him. I was giving you the junior high, high school start, showing you what it was and where I was at.”
Beyond detailing the thematic elements of his Kendrick Lamar collaboration, Pusha T also revealed that My Name is My Name, set to be released October 8, will showcase his more conscious perspective.
“I speak from the perspective of a conscious dopeboy,” Pusha T said. “At the end of the day, it’s sort of like giving people my perspective, letting them know my true thought process. I don’t really know if people look at me as a conscious person. I think they hear a lot of gratuitous raps, they hear a lot of braggin’, but I feel like this bein’ my solo project, I can honestly give you my full perspective.”
Pusha T Describes My Name Is My Name’s Song About Snitching
Another example of Pusha’s perspective comes in “Sorry Nigga, I’m Trying to Come Home,” a selection off My Name is My Name which Pusha says is likely its “most poignant.”
“I have a song produced by Pharrell called ‘Sorry Nigga, I’m Trying to Come Home,'” Pusha T Said. “The acronym for that is S.N.I.T.C.H. I personally don’t really want to hear anymore one-dimensional street raps. This is probably the most poignant record on my album. It’s the realest record. It just speaks from the perspective of knowing people who’ve turned over in the game. No rapper talks about that. Every rapper makes you feel like…they don’t know anybody [who has become a police informant] or [that] anybody in their crew hasn’t turned over…Everybody else gonna make you think that, ‘Yeah, we was doin’ this. We was doin’ that, and we got rich and there was no hiccups.’ And there’s been hiccups.”
In August, Pusha T told Esquire that he believed My Name is My Name would be the best album of the year.
“Well, I’ve heard a lot of them,” Pusha T said. “And mine is better. [Laughs]…I just know what I’m looking to bring to the music game, and it’s a certain level of energy. I’ve made the perfect album that I want to put in my car and ride to.”

RELATED: Pusha T Explains Why He Believes He Will Release 2013’s Best Album
Why’s Pusha wearing a Real Madrid top in the pic?
because he plays in that team
follow me..why wouldn’t he be wearing it??
Arsenal
Can he not wear whatever he likes now?
he once wore a man united shirt in one of his vids so that means this nigga is bandwagon
“he has a song about criminals-turned-informants”
Sweet he made a song about Games manager Jimmy Henchmen, Mr Stop Snitching himself! LMAO
seen a mother fucker doing the son of a bitch .put u too the bitcher.rabbits with bird heads on danceing around the bitcher while crazy mask mother fuckers put jason 666 waters on em.

Its, rather, about the content of his lyrics. But of course this could be an invitation for arguments. So let’s just say its a personal opinion.
His album better be good after all these damned pushbacks. Fuck.
i never heard someones own album get blown more than pusha (maybe school boy).. they better both deliver bec itll be ove rfor them both in rap if they slip with anything less than a monster
add big sean to the list
he already put out 2 classic albums with his brother so im not worried

This will battle for album of the year with Jay’s MCHG and Drake’s NWTS.

Don’t forget about MMLP2
#HALAMADRID
madrid pay stupid amounts on above average players(bale) and still can’t win the champions league
HALA MADRID

dude you know anything about football? Above Average Player??? You’re nuts. Bale’s top 10 in the world.
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Ozil, Neymar, Falcao, Pirlo, Van Persie, Ribery are better
“people that act all the time and pretend their acters are homos”.the movie coming soon oct 30.

*Dickrider Alert!

PUSHA T MUSIC IS MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR LYRICAL RAP FANS, DOPEBOYS AND STREET NIGGAS. IF YOU A FAN OF GUYS LIKE TRINIDAD JAMES, RICH HOMIE QUAN AND YMCMB, PLEASE SKIP ALL OF HIS MUSIC.
If you’re a fan of YMCMB, you are probably hard-working, ambitious and get plenty of pussy (even if you are a female). If you are a fan of Pusha T, you are likely a welfare recipient.
praise Ja Rule
dentalbitch got it backwards.
Two of the biggest frauds in the game on the same track. Pusha claims Wayne is fake but raps about a fabricated life. Malice already made it clear that him and Pusha never moved weight. Kendrick tells 2 Chainz, Tyga and Ross to stop talking about Molly by then proceeds to drop some bars about coke? Pusha T is about to flop and get dropped from GOOD music. Kendrick is just a fad. He’s part of a waive of new gimmick rappers which includes Lil B, Trinidad James and Mackelmore.
wayne leads the way in gimick rappers. fuck outta here. honestly have no life to be a troll. and proud of it? go get a fucking degree or flip some packs. go get the fuck off your computer
yo bitchboy yo troll game is weak. get on my level

I’m dope on the microphone, that why I keep it in my house/
Aw shit here come the cops, I can’t believe what came out my mouth/
Guess I’m just another rapper snitching on himself/
Before I’m apprehended, I’ll let the coke talk, man this shit sells itself/
Jesus, this beat hurts my ears. Awful.
Nah you just need some more Metamucil and a nap.

Well if he keeps bringing that fire, it might just be the album of the year.

WoW.. there is some one just hating on Kendrick for killing his verse. he killed that shit.. pusha went in also. I don’t understand why there are so many hatred in niggas hearts. jealousy is a bitch trait. if you didn’t like kdot verse than cool. for all kdot fans that just admire the nigga when he raps.. good.. he is a lyrical beast. stop all the haterade on kdot. hes a beast.
12 songs with 12 features?
Wow. This “song” (if one can even call it that) was complete GARBAGE! Pussy T had to put KenDICK LAME-ar on this wack ass song to get some attention & it STILL sucked moose balls.
Pussy T, your entire career is irrelevant. Lil Wayne ETHERED you with that GOULISH diss track. You a dead nigga.
KenDICK LAME-ar got his dick sucked soo many times by all his pussy-ass fans that he feels like hes the great but he knows NOT to fuck with Weezy.
Lil Wayne is and forever will remain the KIGN of HIP HOP.

Stop calling me a troll an just put in my mouth already! What’s a guy gotta do to get some dick round here. Damn.
NWTS > than this garbage album.
SORRY
NWTS ALBUM OF THE YEAR
I would like to make one thing clear. I am not Lil Wayne, Tyga’s, or Birdman’s personal accountant. I am a corporate accountant for Cash Money Records. Cash Money Records is always current on its obligations to the IRS and all state and local tax collection agencies. However, I do know that both Wayne and Tyga are very liquid. Any tax delinquencies on their parts are due to the IRS not accepting certain write-offs that they claim. it is not due to a lack of money to pay their taxes. All of these discrepancies have been quickly resolved. In some instances, it is beneficial for an individual to forfeit properties whose market values are below appraised values to extinguish tax liens.
“The industry is a robber, my mental be really bothered
Not talkin to any callers, escape the clutch as a povert-ty
Close to my Momma, ain’t really close to my Father
The more I became a baller, the more I seen him get Fathered
Cause I don’t trust you enough to let you inside of my mind
And even if I let you in, couldn’t handle what you would find
I done been through serious times, and don’t care if you think I’m lyin
I was grown at the age of nine, wanted to get you out of a bind
I spent my savings to save you, tryna get you up out of jail
Had to sign that little paper, promisin you wouldn’t jump ya bail
But then what you do, jump ya bail-they want you, and want me as well
Then the day it happened to me, yeah I hated it-it was hell
And you had to know that I hate it, I hate it-I’m irritated
It’s loud and it’s getting crowded, my space is gettin invaded
No nachos but it was some vatos who said they don’t speak no English
I’m telling e’m make some room, and they lookin like “what you mean”
And it ain’t no such thing as team, when the janitor wanna take ya spot
You the one that’s on the bench watchin I’m the one who’s takin the shot
And I seen the hate on ya face, the moment you seen it drop
Even people that’s really close try to take ya down from the top
What about that little fan, tried to say that I had a baby
A baby, I ain’t even met her so it ain’t even a maybe
Plus her skin is caucausian-she tryin to reach me daily
A groupie, won’t be a lady-she’s obviously tryin to play me
It’s obvious she was crazy-only thing she could do
Is go find a stupid rich rapper that’s out there that she could screw
And now she feelin so stupid, and it shows what I said was true
If I plan to go sleep with a white girl, then I wouldn’t go sleep with you
So I keep sayin his name, and he say I say it in vain
He say the only time I call is when it’s some pain
Tried to mess with my little sis and I threw some salt in ya game
Cause I knew you was old enough to be one of our parents mayne
But a shame on you, a shame-you the only person to blame
When a twenty five person gang, tried to jump me and take my chain
I was the only person not wet, by the punches thrown in the rain
And I couldn’t hold any grudges, I said I forgive you mayne
It’s true that he had a temper, my Father wasn’t bein gentle
At night I would wake up to knockin, my Momma tryna get in the window
Turn on the TV, tryna act like I’m tryna play the Nintendo
The house done burned down forever and no longer sentimental
They livin and lovin life till his girl done fell off that bike
And he happened to still survive but his future don’t look as bright
I admit that I got mad at ya and wish we both could fight
When I knock on them Pearly Gates, just don’t tell me to take a hike”
this album gonna flop hard

Drake would have given the song more depth and grit.
MMG is still in the running….even thought that may hurt some people’s feelings and make their faces turn beet red.
Ross has been on 3 of the most popular Top 40 hits in HipHop this year staying relevant while he maneuvers on an entrepanurial level.
Wale (MMG) has the 5th best selling HipHop album of 2013 with a Gold selling single (Bad)., on tour with
J. Cole getting his bread
Meek Mill is still the hottest rapper in the streets and constantly on tour due to peeps love of his club bangers and high energy songs.
Stalley just released his first retail E.P and his mixtape has been getting heavy critical acclaim.
Ross can pretty much cash out and promote his artists, he’s made the HipHop Forbes list for the last 5 years and never had to go platinum to do it and this is an era where since Ross debut in 2006 the only new rappers to go Plat are Macklemore, Kendrick, Nicki, & Drake which shows you the direction of the culture in terms of sales.
Self Made 3 was not going to do numbers in a year where Big Sean, 2-Chainz, and Juicy J could only do 70K with solo projects that had strong singles but the game is more white oriented and more hipster oriented and artists who cater to those demographics seem to be at the top of the charts.
The only people attributing MMGs dip to Ross UOENO lyrics or his image are white geeks online who lurk HipHop forums for G-Unit singles and the new Skylar Grey songs.
Hiphop is shifting gears, just look at the singles charts and the fact that the only African-American born artist to sell platinum since 2006 is Kendrick Lamar.
3 of the most popular top 40 hits? lol what does that even mean?
wouldnt the most popular top 40 hits be the ones that were in the top 20 or so
Message to DRAKE. Stop being a salty, sensitive lil bitch taking shots at Kendrick in interviews and man up. Pusha T was named in “Control” too, but you don’t see him acting like a bitch over it.
