Loved reading about this album! I feel like Pusha T’s musicianship doesn’t get talked enough so I appreciate your putting that in there!

Yeah! I've been guilty of not giving him his flowers in the past. But seeing him next to his brother gave me a new set of eyes

No it’s understandable! Because his content isn’t particularly deep or worldly. But he does it in a way that’s interesting. That’s why I think of him like Eddie Van Halen. The songs might just be about girls and parties… but the technique is genius.

As a hip hop lover who has hated how modern hip hop has changed the true meaning of the genre ,it is very refreshing to see the likes of clipse , Kendrick and even Tyler the creator who still embody the original form of the genre but with their own twist and creativity. Recently I was listening to a Korean review of some songs and they kept emphasizing that hip hop is about bragging and showing of chains , although these are synonymous to the culture,it is not the meaning of the genre and I love to see the renaissance of hip hop . This article was amazing

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts! Agreed! It feels like there's a turning of the tide, or at lease the possibility of one.
