Words by Alyson Robinson
Pusha T was at “Thursday Night Live With DJ Envy” and spoke on his album release party. “My Name Is My Name” drops October 8th, but Pusha T had more than his album to discuss. He spoke of his thoughts on “Dedication 5” and the lack in quality seen on the whole mixtape. This is just crazy timing, considering it’s only been three days since he told Fuse one of his tweets that people thought could be about Lil Wayne, was not about him. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper only had one word to describe the mixtape, “trash.”
“I don’t know man. In being fair too, Carter II Wayne is mean. In being fair, I wouldn’t want to blame it on something like drugs or lack there of drugs. I don’t know because I don’t want to feel like people just fall from grace like that but…..trash,” he said.
Pusha also talked about the recording process of Yeezus and why the album didn’t sound like traditional Hip Hop models:
What people don’t know is his whole objective at the time was to not be mentioned in the same breath as any other rapper. He was like ‘I don’t want to be in the company of any rappers.’ Then it went from there to ‘for real, at the end of the day, I’m off of this radio format too. I’m off of all of that. You couldn’t say the words “single” or “radio” or “radio record” in the studio during [Yeezusrecording session].
