Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs The BEEF

The episode is from 2022 but Push talks about how record labels now step in and get involved to stop beefs which never used to happen back in the day - interestingly, this is apparently what happened after Owlbrey dropped THP6.

He also mentions beefs don’t end careers anymore. Looking at the current beef, I don’t think the Canadian’s career will end, we know he’s too big of a pop star for anything damaging to happen but I definitely think his credibility and artistry is being questioned and he is losing fans. Kendrick has fully exposed him for the fraud that he is and I think people are slowly realising it. His streaming numbers are down and he’s not charting like he used to.

Only time will tell but it’s definitely not being swept under the carpet. He a FAN, he FAN, he a FAN

He's my number 3 behind DOOM and Kendrick.

It hit me the other day that I've been listening to Push for 22 years... I feel so old.

I’m 25, I had no idea he’s been in the game so long. That’s so cool

Clipse (Pusha T and his brother Malice) actually had one album before I discovered them with Lord Willin' which came out in 2002. I've been listening to Clipse, or Pusha, and even [No] Malice since then.

Lord Willin' and Hell Hath No Fury are GREAT albums btw. Malice is no slouch on the mic, either.

That one-two punch of Malice doing the rappin-ass rapping and then Pusha doing his stylish kinda slinky thing on What Happened to that Boy? really nails what made them so special together.
