| Pusha T and Kanye West Giveth Blessings, Taketh “Lunch Money” | November 19, 2014 |
Brian Josephs wants you to know Quavo is a precious angel who needs to be protected at all costs. If you’re familiar with church, chances are you heard of a phenomenon known as “catching the holy ghost.” It’s like when the horns of “Blood on the Leaves” blare in the club — with all the […]
| Drake Suarez: If Rappers Were Footballers | June 20, 2014 |
Somehow the rap game, reminds Dweez of the beautiful game. Art by Ben Bjelajac. Drake featuring Drake. We’ve now seen all 32 teams play in this tournament. Google searches are 10x higher for the World Cup than they were for the NBA Finals this last week. The game done changed and here is a guide […]
| Spring Mix – Has-Lo | May 28, 2014 |
Has-Lo is hordeable, sportable, and totally affordable Spring is my favorite time of year. It’s not as hot as summer. Not as brutally cold as winter. Full of anticipation. Everything spreads out in front of us, waiting to be experienced. Once it got warm, you know school is coming to a close for the year. […]
| Spring Mix – Zilla Rocca | May 20, 2014 |
Zilla Rocca is a 5 O’clock Shadowboxer holding the sector After the hellish winter we suffered along the east coast in 2013-2014, where 60 inches of snow pelted us into psychological mince meat, the spring of 2014 has been a mirage of sorts – 80 degree temperatures overtaken by rain, cool nights, and beautiful sunny […]

| The Derivatives Market: Pusha T- My Name Is My Name | October 21, 2013 |
Abe Beame is looking forward to Bill de Blasio’s name being incorporated into Cam’ron lyrics. A few months ago, I examined Big Sean’s repugnant Hall of Fame. At the heart of the inquisition was the often undefinable concept of originality. What is it and how does it work? The question is hopeless, because by its […]
| Haiku Reviews: Pusha T’s “My Name is My Name” | October 10, 2013 |
Slava P’s name is Slava P. Coltrane. Pusha T’s name is his name. This seems like a trivial thing for a 36 year old man who has been in the rap industry for over a decade to proclaim, but here we are. For the entirety of his career, Pusha has never been an island. He […]
| Pusha T & Kendrick Lamar’s “Nosetalgia” | September 16, 2013 |
The king of coke rappers meets the most sober rapper from the Ronald Reagan era. Boogie Down Productions samples and bongo drums and a whole lot of drug talk. The guitars straight from “D.O.A” straight from Janko Nilovic. Pusha remains “puntastic,” flashing his one Zoolander-like look (“White Steel”). But he sounds rejuvenated through his hatred […]
| Pusha T: Number Cruncher, Cocaine Pusher | May 30, 2013 |
Joshua Lerner is keeping these clothes. In recent years, I thought that Pusha T had devolved into a gravel-mouthed sidekick to Kanye West.There was that time when he strolled on stage to perform “Run Away” at the VMA Awards. He was a little brother in a peachy suit, making little impression next to his leader’s […]
