October 8 will mark the release of Pusha T’s debut solo album and the G.O.O.D. Music artist has been touting My Name Is My Name as the best album of 2013.
In the second part of Pusha’s My Name Is My Name Documentary Series, he spoke on his fans and what he believes makes a Pusha T fan.
“My fans don’t really know what I really really love. And they don’t know that because my music is so lyric driven-based and they know that about me but they don’t know that I’m really outside,” he said when asked about how he manages the difference in music tastes between his fans and him. “I know who my fan is when they tell me like, ‘Why did you put Future on ‘Pain,’ I hate him?’ And I’m like, ‘You don’t go outside son…’ Cause if you go outside and you go to clubs and you’re in the places I’m in, you know why Future’s on my record. What I try to do is expose them to that. If they are my fans they’re going to try to take the time to look through my eyes.”
The Virginia Beach-based artist also said he wanted The Clipse’s appeal to be represented like Gang Starr.
“I always modeled The Clipse and I always said, ‘Man, The Clipse and the Neptunes need to have a brand needs to be known as a brand of music that’s like synonymous to Gang Starr,” he said. “Gang Starr come out with an album. Whether I like it or not, the person who likes the Gang Star album knows what they’re gonna get.”
Pusha also said the Internet age and the change of general practices in Hip Hop changed how The Clipse did their work and how it affected what they did.
“That was just a strain in like trying to put out this music and be happy with the music but put it out in such a rapid pace.”

Clipse was dope back in the day
All I relate Clipse to is a gay relationship between 2 men.
they’re brothers
and unlike birdman and lil wayne they dont kiss on the lips even though they are actually blood related
^^ Got’em
No.
As a long-time fan of Gang Starr (and Guru’s solo projects) and as a one-time fan of the Clipse (I simply grew up, I’m not implying they ‘fell-off’), I can confidently say the Clipse have NOTHING in common with Guru.
Or DJ premier
Guru was great. BUT WAIT!!!! YOU’RE NAME!!! IT’S LIKE JUSTIN PLUS THE NUMBER 10!!! GENIUS WORDPLAY!!!YOU’RE NOT A FAG!!!!
Not being a regular fan of the Clipse, and owning all of Gang Starr, but I get what he’s saying. Fair nuff. They did build a brand – crack rap. That’s why I got bored with it so quick over the years, but I don’t pick up Clipse albums anymore, cause I know it’s gonna be crack rap. Brand successful in my opinion.
Clipse is closer to a Mobb Deep or Tha Dogg Pound then Gangstarr. I like Pusha and Malice but if you had to list those 4 in order Clipse is onthe bottom easily. Definitely giving themselves to much credit.
Also i think they would have been better overall if almost every song (if not all) wasn’t produced by The Neptunes. With that said that track ‘Virginia’ will always be in rotation for me
Naw, def not Mobb Deep. Neither of those guys have fell off as hard as Prodigy. Though, clipse have never put out anything like Infamous
^^^??? prodigy just put out one of the best albums of this year
fell off as hard as prodigy?
you gotta be on first to fall off and pusha t aint really done shit compared to mobb deep

Hell hath No Fury? We Got It For Cheap? Y’all need to stop following personalities and go listen to some music.
I swear people do not actually fucking read anymore or pay attention and look at the video. He didn’t say that he thought the Clipse are Gangstarr, he was talking about a brand and having a goal to have a sonic brand like Gangstarr. Also notice he didn’t actually say if they were successful. Fucking ADHD generation.
So correct. Thank you.
uh.. yeah… how about NO
