Pusha T Speaks On Jay-Z, Kanye West & Lil Wayne, Says “Watch The Throne” Best Album Released

    As he prepares his G.O.O.D. Music debut, Pusha T stopped by Funkmaster Flex’s show to speak on the Young Money/Cash Money feud with Jay-Z and Watch the Throne, a release he calls the best of the year. Pusha shed light on why he feels Jay-Z and Kanye West still have more years in their musical careers and why Jay-Z’s lines sounded realer than Lil Wayne’s. 

    When told that Baby recently said he felt Jay-Z and Kanye West were on their way out, Pusha disagreed. 

    “I guess that’s a matter of opinion [but] being around Jay-Z and around Kanye for that whole recording of Watch the Throne, I think that’s sort of talking a little bit prematurely to say they’re on their way out, with that type of lyricism and that type of rappin’ going on. I mean, by far, Watch the Throne was definitely the best album put out, definitely.”

    After praising Watch the Throne, Pusha added his opinion on the Jay-Z/Lil Wayne feud. While both emcees threw verbal shots at one another this year, P says he feels Jay’s was “more realer.” 

    “I personally thought the Jay swipe, if that was a swipe because I’ve never heard him say it was a swipe, but the Jay swipe, I thought that was mean. I thought it was a mean swipe. But, then Wayne? The way Wayne flipped it back on the new one? That was hot. That was hot, as well. That was good. But, see, you know me. I get caught up in a level of realness. That’s when you can say who really would do what and what really makes more sense in reality. I get caught up in that. So, when you get caught up in that…It’s reality. The Jay one sounded a little more realer.” 

    Staying on the topic of feuds, he also added that his war of words with Consequence is water under the bridge.

      1. that just mean, he is going to be geting sued even more cause nigga going to be looking for theeir money that give him beats

    1. JAY-Z HAS “BABY SALES”, HE SHOULD STICK TO THAT CORPORATE MONEY CUZ HE AINT GETTIN THAT MUCH PAPER OFF THIS RAP SHIT NO MORE.

      WAYNE, DOUBLED HOV’S ENTIRE SALES IN ONE WEEK.

      1. Dog’s you stupid most of the money rapper get,do not come from record sale fool, for nigga to see money from records sell they got to be going 5,6x platinum

      2. YOU MEAN WAYNE DOUBLED HIS OWN SALES IN ONE WEEK. WAYNE IS A LIAR AND SO IS BABY AND YOU CAN TELL THAT JUST BY LOOKING AT’EM 24/7. AIN’T NOBODY BOUGHT THEM DAMN CARTER IV ALBUMS LIKE THAT IN ONE WEEK AND I MEAN ***NOBODY***. SALES CONTINUE TO STAY LOW IN THE RAP GAME AND YOU ARE TOO DELUSIONAL TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WAYNE WOULD PULL OFF SOME NUMBERS LIKE THAT IN ONE WEEK. YOU’RE HILARIOUS. JAY-Z WOULD NEVER DO NO DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT WHICH IS WHY HE STAYS SO MANY MILES AHEAD OF WAYNE IT’S RIDICULOUS. WAYNE IS CONTINUING TO BUY HIS STARDOM TO STAY RELEVANT WHILE JAY-Z EARNED HIS STARDOM AND DOESN’T HAVE TO CATAPULT HIS ALBUM SALES IN ONE WEEK. WAYNE IS ONE OF THE MOST STUPIDIEST RAPPERS IN THE BUSINESS WHEN IT COMES TO MANUFACTURING ALBUM SALES. AT LEAST DON’T MAKE IT SO DAMN OBVIOUS THAT YOUR LYING TO THE PEOPLE BY USING SCANDALOUS WAYS TO GENERATE HIGHER ALBUM SALES JUST TO STAY AHEAD OF PEOPLE. JAY WILL TELL YOU HIMSELF THAT NOBODY’S BUYING LIL WAYNE’S ALBUMS BUT HIM AND THAT’LL BE THE NEXT RAP PUNCHLINE DISS THAT JAY WILL THROW BACK AT WAYNE SO WAYNE BETTER SHUT HIS MOUTH ABOUT JAY FROM NOW ON. JAY WILL EXPOSE THAT UGLY EXTRA TERRESTRIAL FROM ANOTHER PLANET FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH.

      3. Jay has been dominated the game for how long? Wayne has been dominated the gmae for how long? Jay has ten years over lil wayne’s reign. So when lil wayne can run the game for a decade then we can talk. He’s only had the game for three years from 2008 and he just got noticed in 2005.

      4. Sorry nigga forget record sale, it all about building an empire, and the whole cash money crew money aint, big enough, they got baby money, we got arab money son

      5. your stupid. Jay-Z is worth half a billion. do you really wanna talk money. last time i checked live nation gave Jay a deal worth 150mill alone for touring. come on man your done

      6. baby sales you sound foolish, money is money. And if you knew anything sales are nothing in the new music industry its about touring. Babys 40yrs old talking about money all the time. Jay-z kills those clowns its not close. Lil wayne was a stan of Hov’s check the facts wayne said it himself. Im the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired. LOL

      7. Jay-z old azz hell aint nobody 25 or yonger checking for this nigga…the reason WTT didnt sell like C4 is becuase some social security checks didnt make it out. So Jays old ass fan base couldnt even make it out 2 support him

      8. Yo all you’ll nigga Gay Gay Gay, Jay-z got more money than the whole cash money crew and when i see that nigga i am jacking him to rise up off some of that some, i would waste my time try to jack wayne all he got is a branch ot tatoos

      9. I can guarantee that Lil Wayne if he has a tour will not do better than the Watch the Throne tour. Keep in mind, touring is where people make the bulk of their money.

    2. I’m convinced Pusha T is just a groupie. This nigga has Jay and Kanye in his mouth CONSTANTLY.
      Best albums:
      1. R.E.D
      2. BME:HTS
      3. WTT
      4. Ferrari Boys: Deluxe Edition
      5. Carter H-IV (Nobody wants this shit.)

    3. Armor Of God, GSTN, R.E.K.S., Honkey Kong, Lyrical Law, Hell: The Sequel and Elmatic are some of the best this year, Armor Of God reigning supreme by far, lyrical, conceptual and musical.

      1. For everyone debating whether or not Wayne went platinum in one week let me clarify a few things for you. As a corporate executive for a major consumer retailer for the past 11 years let me be the 1st to tell you with digital downloads, File sharing & the ability to transfer youtube video files into MP3 there is no way possible Wayne SOLD 950,000 physical copies of the carter IV LEGIT. By saying Legit I mean that 950,000 people did not go out & buy The Carter IV I would bet my summer home on that! Now with that being said it’s very possible that 950,000 physical copies of The Carter IV were still sold in the 1st week simply by Baby purchasing massive quantities on the Carter IV just like a major retailer would. The fact of the matter is even if this is true & Baby did resort to these tatics, the album still went platinum in 1 week there is no debating that. But before we crucify Baby let’s understand 1 thing. Cash Money Records makes almost $10 per album sold, so a #1 album for a record company like YMCMB can mean a extra 25% or $10-$25 million dollars or more from sales revenue, advertisment etc….So maybe it’s shrewed business, maybe it’s not fair, maybe it’s greed…But one things is for sure it’s worked for Lil Wayne 2 times in a row 7 like the saying goes “if it aint broke, dont fix it”

      2. nearly NO ONE can go toe to toe with pusha lyrically… and this guy who developed his conspiracy theory about wayne’s sales should get a life and maybe start make something of his own life instead of crying over other man’s success… yeah its true, ymcmb make 10dollars of each cd, so birdman spent 16 on each one to earn that 10 dollars..oh wait, that’s 6 minus, or 3million minus if you multiply it with 500 000…do you think that hes really that crazy… i truthfully feel sorry for you because you really seem hurt with wayne’s success since you wrote that essay lol… and im not even ymcmb fan, not even near…

      3. WEll bro you would end up losing you’re summer home if that’s the case. I don’t know what it is about black people being so willing to believe conspiracy theories. Just think about it logically for a second. Do you really think it was possible for birdman to go to one location and buy 20,000 records then another location and buy 40,000 records…seriously, no store would allow that to happen and even if they did someone would have reported it. NOt only that, but why would birdman only let wayne sell 950,000, why not 1 million. And in conclusion, birdman would have been bought his own albums opening week since his last album only sold 30,000 the first week. Now shut up with these crazy stories just because you niggas don’t have any education, damn.

      4. ^^^ i believe him…i did my reseach before speaking (something u should try). Cash money has the best distribution deal in the industry

    4. Birdman was the one who started it by challenging Jay to a bank account battle. Jay has 15 years under his belt, he aint sweating Wayne’s disses! baby can’t even stand up for himself he needs to get his “son” who he kisses to stand up for him. Carter IV will be forgotten about in a month.

    5. all of yall fuckin retarded how do u kno that people didnt go out an buy lil wayne jus bcus u dnt like u forget theres atleast a billion people in the united states an i kno for a fact lil white girls love lil wayne so whos to say one million lil white girls didnt go out an buy the album

    6. get of his nutts he was speaking on FACTS lil wayne is not gonna kidnapp beyonce FACT 1 FACT 2 COMPARED TO JAY-Z BABY DOES HAVE BABY MONEY so who verse is more REAL?

    7. for a platinum album a artist on a major label only gets 225,000 dollars they pay back the advance when they go on tour after they recoup the labels money then they get a percentage of the tour

    8. This dude obviously is bias. I don’t blame him I guess thats what you have to do when you’re affilliated with someone. But WTT was a simple boring ass album. The lyrics was dope but it was a boring ass album. I actually think the Carter 4 was a better album overall.

      1. ^^^ i got something for yo ears bitch!!! Carter IV best album of the year. Pusha T=wack ass, irrelevant ass, rapper. Who brought his last cd?

    9. How a fairy rapper number one, bet he tongue kissing baby right now laying on the 600,000 copies they bought themselves, it was the other 3-400,000 that was actually bought by lil white girls, get ya facts straight and watch the throne

    10. yeah they rather pretend they don’t got baby money by spending all BABY’s money on making the top of the charts then not showing they money

    11. It would be a foot soldier commenting on the beef. When Jay goin speak out? Or is he trying not to get eithered again?

    12. Watch the throne is for senior citizens…in jay z’s words “we off that”…Drakes first week is goin outsell watch the throne’s…YMCMB RUNNIN THIS RAP SHIT

    13. “I’m like really half a billi n-gga, Really you got baby money, Keep it real with n-ggas, N-ggas aint got my lady money”

      Jay in response to Baby running mouth bout he got more money than Jay.

      Wayne cleverly flipped Jay word play back to get you morons buying records.

      Personally I listen to both albums for free.

      Over.

    14. lets not forget that pusha had beef with wayne in 06. Wayne started to wear bape after the clipse, starting talking about being a drug dealer after workin with them, then pusha said ” if he claim best, the I guess you can call me god.” Pusha also said Waye was fake and said talked about wayne shooting himself with his gun. This isnt just pusha sucking up to Jay or Kanye, he hates wayne

      1. of course hes gonna support his label,
        btw drake constantly be gagging on lil wayne’s balls taking bout how weezys the best and shit

    15. Is it some new ridiculous trend to hate on WTT and Jay’s life? I swear Wayne haters just say he’s lame then they out. These Jay haters however have damn monologues ready about how they hate Jay’s toenails.

      I definitely think it’s the best mainstream rap album out so far. Then comes lasers, RED, BME, C4

    16. God!!, you fucks dont know shit bout hiphop. It aint just about making imaginary raps that will never be true. Wayne been rich since he was 14. He aint runnin up in shit, he aint shootin nobody, not kidnaping, not dealing drugs, hes not a goon, or goblin, his raps are fiction. Yes he has a nice flow, but alot of it dont make sence. Wanye the only rapper that blatenly says shit he wouldnt really do, and he still gets away with it…Hey wayne, your a rich nigga, stop rappin about goon shit. nigga you wear leapord skinnys…Look @ jay, he raps about his reality & expirences, and still is in the forefront of the game…Take notice, you shit is gettin stale.

    17. How you guys come here loving off a man who wore female pants to his MTV performance. You guys are hella suspect.

      1. You mad you can’t get away with it? Wayne = Winning, wearing women’s pants and selling nearly a million in a week in 2011.

      2. If u saw the hoes he had walking into his trailer that night youd be wearing some leggings right now…i am (no homo)

    18. Pusha T is decent but he aint all dat..The CLipse weren’t dat good either. Da Jay/Wayne lil beef is dumb & seems like its for entertainment and dats it. Dey make good music 2gether(like Mr.Carter) so I hope dis stops. WTT & C4 have been best albulms out dis yr so I agree w/dat

      1. honestly if you think pusha t is just decent I wanna know who is good by your standards? It is clear that you havent really listened to hell hath no fury because you wouldnt be saying he’s decent after hearing it….unless the rhymes were too over your head?

    19. THIS SITE IS LITTERED WITH HATERS, WHO HATE JUST TO HATE. YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIVITY, NO PERSPECTIVE. YOU BITCHES NEED TO DIE. YOU FAGGOTS GOT THAT HATIN GENE. PLEASE DONT HAVE KIDS AND PASS THE HATE TO THE NEXT GENERATIO

      1. its true, all the hating is immature and complete bullshit. get a life, and use you energy for something positive instead of hating on artists that make more money than you in a month than u make in years, no one cares who you like and don’t like, and you calling kanye or whoever homo and bitch like is more bitch like than anything he’s ever done. see the irony here?

      2. You dumbass nobody is completely objective. It impossible to obtain objectivity because we’re human not robots. Get over it.

      1. Kanye best Hip Hop artist ever, genius mind. You’re the one who’s supsect or why do you care so much about another man’s sexual orientation?

      2. Kanye is genius? NO he’s a blouse wearing fag that wifes up strippers. Then after wiz took his stripper hoe girlfriend he dedicated an album to her teling us how much he love/hates her. Sounds bitch like to me. It must be why he’s moved on 2 guys

    20. so pusha neeeds to refuel that desire to beef with wayne cuzz jay doesnt wanna “ruin the money” but lets face it jay has never won a hip hop beef thats why he simply wont go at wayne but i believe pusha vs wayne could possibly change the direction of hip hop

    21. and drakes buzz is hugeee up here in tdot not sure how u guys are feeling in the states but cash money determines the future of hip hop at this point

    22. Pusha talking about being real? fake ass nigga guess he forgot about the Grindin video shoot they did out in tidewater park and nobody knew who the fuck them cats were cause they wont nobody they wont pushin shit. VA all day

    23. pusha keepin it real and here come the wayne dick riders lol.eventhough none of them even buying waynes albums lol

    24. When Jay and Kanye dropped WTT, what they dropped was a Hip Hop album. Lil Wayne dropped a rap album. It seems as if the essence of Hip Hop may be losing its effectivness in the sense that our society as a whole has became numb to our own reality. People do not want to be made aware of our current posistion and they do not want to think about whats truly going on. Grant it WTT may not speak upon these terms exactly. But the album comes from two artist who are known to speak from their souls upon these very issues so many people are trying to block out. With that being said Lil Wayne’s album feeds a massive growing number of people who prefer the dumbed down approach. They want to hear something to which has no truths. it can only spark the imagination. Wayne’s music has no soul to it. It posseses nothing of substance. Outside of “How To Love”[which was apperantly stolen, go figure] I see no value to this music. In ten years will I listen to Lil Wayne’s music or will I listen to Jay or Kanye, thats not a hard to figure out. How long into his rap career did Lil Wayne become a blood. there is a clip on Youtube where Wayne talks about not understanding the gang culture or why some join a gang. Well I know one thing for sure. You dont join a gang once youve become a millionier or have established yourself as a major public figure. All the gang members that I met did it because it was purely a last option. A way to fullfill a need to be a part of something, when nothing else was there. What glory or street cred comes from shooting yourself? Wayne has never sold crack for there was never a need to since he was being molested by Baby at the age of 11. Sorry I had to say that. On a last note, out of the 965.000 alumbs sold Baby said they would receiver close to $10 per album. YMCMB dont yall think its time to start paying some money to those who helped yall along the way. Or does Baby Brain Birdman need another $8.000.000 dollar car?

      1. Wayne talks about signs of the times on C4. “times have changed but fuck it buy a new watch”…jay z can kick rocks with tht “black excellence” bullshit cause im from the murder capitial where niggas murder for capitial…that shit wayne spit is real life. Jay and Kanye selling dreams

    25. The only way Pusha T can make headlines is by talking about other relevant artists…no on wants to hear from a foot soldier/waterboy…when Jay goin come out of hiding? After “its good” the ball is in his court

    26. Check this: The only way Pusha T can make headlines is by talking about other relevant artists…no on wants to hear from a foot soldier/waterboy…when Jay goin come out of hiding? After “its good” the ball is in his court

    27. Damn bro!! Keep your comments short and sweet Woodall. Wrap it up.
      ===
      I don’t like the direction Pusha T is going. He talks about Kanye like he’s the second coming.

    28. niggas need to stop saying Kanye is gay and homo. hes not. He just likes fashion. I like fashion shit. He is more of the stereotype of how an artist acts period. People like to box black people in the entertainment industry in, if you dont talk like this or dress like that you must be homosexual. Will smith, well spoken and successful must be gay, pharell well spoken and successful must be gay, Kanye doesn’t dress like we want America to think all Black people dress like lets label him gay to discredit him. Fuck all yall hiphop fans who speculate on if a rapper is gay or not you dont know what he does behind closed doors. (except for lil b hes the exception hes obviously gay)

      1. lil b not gay he just a young nigga trying 2 make it he can rap but whats the point hiphop is dead lil wayne doesn’t rap tht good but outsells jay and ye you can listen to lil b music and tell hes not being 4real like example grove street thn listen to tshirt and buttons see the different s

      2. Yo LIL Wanyne runnin around wearing ladies Jeggins, and he kiss Baby on da mouth, I think Kanye is far from gay, LIL Wayne got a problem

    29. Too bad Pusha can’t get any press with his own name lol. He sounds like a hater and a groupie at the same time. I know he wishes that Wayne would mention him in a diss, so that he can be relevant again. Clipse had the game on lock when they had that song called “What happened to that Boy”, but now their just garbage.

      1. with his own name hahah you a fool wayne and game cant keep jay out of there mouth red flopped and wayne went gay to sell records talkin about he doing drive by shootings negro please

    30. Looks like Pusha T is sucking dick very well at G.O.O.D. Music head quarters with words like ”Watch the Throne was definitely the best album put out, definitely” and ”The Jay one sounded a little more realer” he should be up to super head status in no time ..I have faith in you Pusha T you can do it!!

    31. Wipe Jay’s cum off your chin, Pusha, there’s people watching.

      Last Clipse was dogshit but your solo will be worse old man.

    32. he was asked a question, and he gave his opinion. damn some of you niggas are sensitive as fuck. i love hip hop. but when did the fans turn into a bunch of dick ridin females?

      get off waynes dick. get off jays dick. and DX, post some real fuckin news please.

    33. What else this wack monkey gonna say he already got dissed by Wayne of course he gonna take the pussy route and take a shot. try asking artists who have potential to sell albums not this failure.

    34. How a fairy rapper number one, bet he tongue kissing baby right now laying on the 600,000 copies they bought themselves, it was the other 3-400,000 that was actually bought by females, get ya facts straight and watch the throne

    35. How can u say jay is hip hop and Wayne ain’t when they both talk bout the same shit in different ways Wayne diss come on he call beyonce a bitch he went after his heart y’all know after nas did ether supaugly came right out nigga called his bitch a bitch u a pussy come one in the streets we be fighting jay hiding

      1. Wayne and Jay do not talk about the same shit. At all. If you say that, you don’t listen to Wayne…or Jay…or rap. Like…are you serious? Lmao

    36. Ask yourself this! Why does your opinion matter more than his when you clicked a link to see what his opinion was! When some of you talk to people in real life, do they say you have a point or agree? Or do they laugh at you and call you a fool or stupid? Take the hint!

    37. just lost respect for pusher t for being on kanye and jay’s dick. Love or Hate Lil Wayne and Baby, but they aren’t scared to say what they want regardless of if its Jay Z or 50. I never really liked Wayne’s music til last 2 albums (2 before were ok), but i respect these folks. They are secure in their talents that Jay can’t knock them from their perch just as Nas was.

    38. Since none of you seem to know I will repeat what I said before….pusha t had beef with lil wayne in 2006. Clipse accused wayne of only talking about slinging after he did a song with them and they said they were the first to wear bape and he copied their style. Wayne called himself the greatest rapper and Pusha said if he claim king and he claim best then I guess you can call me god…Pusha also called wayne fake and pointed to the first time he had a gun he shot himself…….this isnt pusha kissin ass completely, he has a problem with wayne as well

      1. Wayne was talking about slinging on 500 degreez, nobody wore babe because of the clipse, them lame ass niggas aint fashion icons. Why would wayne ever speak on pusha T he has 2hits for his entire career. Wayne averages 3 hits per album

    39. I started to like wayne with the last two carters but this album was just not good, not wack but not good. he needs to get sober first too much syrup, weed, pills, coke, satannic vibes (say what you want). Bottom line is that WTT is better than the new Carter.

    40. LOL at this interview…

      Kissin’ ass is cool now?

      Man when is this nigga’s LP dropping? And it better be good with all of this wait. Just bring out quality music. Pusha is cool behind the mic. I have no issue with him. Just don’t make ish in the same mode as that WTT garbage.

    41. lil waynes carter 4 album was tight hip hop sucks and hiphop music make no money rap makes money i know that much screw all yall early 80/late 80’s hip hop fans and screw all all the people that are still stuck on the rap songs from the 1990 to 1994 era.. ”GET OVER IT”

    42. screw all the underground rappers that think theyll ever make it big none of them have a shot in hell to get signed to no big time rap labels like ymcmb or none of them.. underground rappers are fake hardcore rappers that try to act all hard like they got them real talk/street lyrics but in all reality they be tryin to rap like that bum common and that bum taleb.. underground rappers suck here’s a message from all the big time rappers rappin rite now to all the underground broke rappers rite now all the 80’s broke rappers all the early 90’s broke rappers..they got a message for all of them, ready?
      Shake.. and Bake!

    43. the clipse didn’t found bape clothing line and don’t own any stock in the company. i’m sure they wasn’t the first people from virginia to start rapping. as a matter of fact, them niggas is from brooklyn and moved to virginia later on in life, so i guess they frauds anyway.
