Pusha T took the time out of dropping fire tracks, for his upcoming King Push prequel Darkest Before Dawn, to chill with Pitchfork and play their game “Over/Under” where he’s given a variety of subjects and is asked to determine if they’re underrated or overrated. Naturally, the funnies ensue…
* On Arby’s: “Arby’s is life.”
* On Ric Flair: “People should know about him in history books.”
* On Future: “He made people understand the mumble.”
* On Star Wars: “I could give a damn about any Martians.”
* On My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy: “It’s GOAT-level rap.”
Push also returned to Genius to annotate some of the lyrics from his recently-released “M.F.T.R,” and in particular he clarified his Tyga line…
“I felt he was looking like genius simply because it takes a lot for you to leave a situation at Cash Money— a label of prominence, with a large history of success. A lot of artists would have stayed in that situation and carried on with the illusion and with people just assuming that they were doing well because they were amongst that crew. To me, Tyga stepped out there and said, ‘I ain’t have a royalty check in God knows when.’ He wasn’t looking to be more famous than rich, and he was open to the world about it.”
UPDATE: Pusha also unveiled some behind-the-scenes footage from his Darkest Before Dawn photoshoot.
