G.O.O.D Music president Pusha T is sticking with what works for him. The Virginia rap veteran is putting together his fourth solo album, and so far the only producers to touch his project just happen to be some of hip-hop’s most iconic beatmakers.
Pusha T’s Legendary Exclusive Production Team
In an Instagram Live session, Pusha said that at the moment, the only producers working on his album are Kanye West and The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo).
“As of right now it’s only Ye and Pharrell — and The Neptunes, I’m sorry. That’s it. … Ain’t nothing to talk about.”
Pusha T + The Neptunes Have A Long History
The Neptunes helped introduce the world to The Clipse almost 20 years ago. Back in 2002, Pharrell and Chad did all of the production for Pusha and Malice‘s classic debut album Lord Willin’, and for their 2006 second effort Hell Hath No Fury. King Push is closely connected to Kanye, who hired him as president of G.O.O.D. Music a few years ago.
Pusha T Rips Lil Wayne
The G.O.O.D Music president isn’t rocking with Lil Wayne after his publicized endorsement for U.S. President Donald Trump. Pusha T went on Twitter to check Weezy while bringing up a skeleton from his closet.
“Wayne complaining about Biden tax plan but had no issue when Birdman did it to him for 30 years.”
Pusha Pays Homage To This Game-Changing Album
On the 25th anniversary of Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pusha T and Nas — who both know a lil’ something about making classic albums — paid their respects to one of the genre’s greatest albums.
“25 yrs later and still, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… @raekwon @realghostfacekillah thank you. ??” -Pusha T’s Instagram
“Yo @raekwon Peace Beloved. My brother. I Salute you on this Classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx aka The Purple Tape. 25 Years Club General. You one of the greatest to touch a mic. Great times when @realghostfacekillah and us recorded Verbal Intercourse. This Lp changed the game. Thank you King. Congrats” -Nas’ Instagram
