A Biased Review of Pusha T's My Name Is My Name in Everything Is Pusha T t-shirt.
What did you expect I'm a total Clipse fan and even bigger Pusha T, 'Pusha Ton, Push a ton of that shit that makes your nose run' fan, hence my DJ name Pusha TeeHeeHee! But I digress, I've been waiting for this album. So many argued that it wasn't going to see the Best Buy shelves, but take a look, the physical copies were sold out both Tuesdays that I went.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty. It's been 10 years since classic, 'Lord Willin' dropped & I haven't stopped listening since. That includes NoMalice's 'Here Ye Him'.
MNIMN
King Push...Woooo! Literally, with a introduction like that I knew I was in for a treat. The beat sounds like triumph and the metaphors are like tasteful word play. I miss the GRIMEY black hoodie and ultimately making your head nod and doing a stank face because the verse was so ill music. That's exactly how this MNIMN started out. We get in fly player mode with a M-A-Dollar Sign-E flow while Kelly Rowland lends her vocals for 'Let Me Love You. The album takes you for a ride. Think 1995 Mobb Deep at its peak. Does it make me miss (No)Malice, yes, but I did find myself playing his album to make a complete Clipse album.
Back to King Push, everything is Pusha T, I was so amped up watching Kanye's Truth (not rant) at the listening party I hoped they made a shirt. PlayCloths knows, they did I purchased and listened to the album while wearing the shirt. The standout song that I play over and over is 'Who I Am', it features 2Chainz and Big Sean. It take us back to Mercy minus a Yeezy verse but his presence is very much there on the production. The beat knocks and it's a must to blast it at ignorant levels.
I did say biased right? This album is so John Blaze:) #1995
