I love Pusha but I miss Malice too, and I do think overall, his songs suffer.
But he has gotten much better at hooks and though he is less self reflective, and his songs as a whole are especially less without Malice, he is spitting harder than ever.
Which brings me to a point.
Do you guys think Pusha has had a second career? I mean arguably the Clipse were successful but by the time Hell Hath No Fury came out, they were clearly dwindling in success (despite critical acclaim), and Til The Casket Drop was a near flop.
But since Pusha's signed with GOOD, he has gotten more shine in the spotlight than I'd say he ever did with Clipse, besides Grindin. Now, if you consider longevity, he is more of a household name than Clipse ever was. Though he has not had any real commercial success, he has been on Runaway, So Appalled, Trouble on My Mind (his biggest hit of his own, a huge success for him that happened organically and he accidentally? rode Tyler's coattails, but its a great song), Mercy, Exodus 23:1... all of these songs were pretty huge in the hip hop community.
What other artists had such a huge shift in career and big comeback? Cam comes to mind, with Dipset. Juicy J now too, and that one is even crazier.
But I'm happy for Pusha. He's doing his thing. I just hope his next album has some Pharrell songs too.

He's a good rapper but something about him can't really hold my interest outside of features. Like I've realized I'm just bored of him after hearing Wrath of Caine.
will need to hear another album with Malice to see if I've just gotten completely tired of him or if it's just his solo stuff that I'm not vibing with.
want another camron comeback.

Was sitting here pleasantly surprised by Kilo Kish until I heard:
"I spy with my eye/
all the buzz around my hive/
when i'm with another guy/
you're the one that haunts my mind"
and then began to skip around the rest of the songs before turning it off.

Pusha T doesn't need self-awareness, or balance really. He's proved that on all three of his projects. He has introspective moments too, but they're not about the drug game moreso than where he is now and being without without Malice, kind-of half-baked religious contemplation, etc. Most of that was on Fear of God though, with some repeated songs on Fear of God 2 and the rest of it on Wrath of Caine.
I think Pusha has a chance at a second career, he will never reach 50 level or anything, but I think he can make a blip like Fabulous did and then teeter his career slowly out of relevance again.
EDIT: Real talk with them comments on the Pusha video, Rozay looking like he lost some weight.

It's like the middle ground between Shabazz Palaces and Death Grips, do your ears a favor and skip that intro though if you're listening through good headphones.
Steal This Album is considered the best, Spotify has all their stuff

Listening to this now because of that Kilo Kish:
My expectations were very low so I was pleasantly surprised by it. Plus all them references, including the title
R.R.E.A.M. said:
oh man that's such a fucked up line if you google Emmitt Till
also I've noticed a lot of rappers recently namedropping liberace. Like comparing themselves to him....this guy:
do they realize what they're saying?!
can this be construed as progress for hiphop? or willful ignorance, because there's no way no one has brought this up to any of them at some point.
Cool, thanks for posting. Some of the sounds on this feel ear damaging, but its pretty good.
it ain't horrible (she's definitely no kreayshawn*).
*because kreayshawn is horrible...

Mac Miller - Confessions of a Cash Register feat. Prodigy (Produced by The Alchemist)
Shit. I like this. Miller was whatever. He doesn't bring the track down at all.
Even Prodigy sounded awake and a little hungry.
And that beat. I really, really, really, want Spitta over this. This needs to be The Type Part 2.
