Pusha gets petty on his new album.

Pusha T is arguably the most skillful and petty rapper doing it today. His latest release, Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude is one of his most petty to date. His propensity to send shots at Lil Wayne and Drake in the form of subliminal lines is well known, and this joint is filled with them. A good reason could be Weezy's falling out with Baby recently, proving most of Push's past subs right. He read the coca leaves like a coke-dealing oracle and seems to enjoy rubbing it in their faces.
About a week ago, he spoke to Mikey T about the Cash Money situation saying,
"If you steal something then that's just corny. If you steal something and you stealing it contractually, that's like the lowest form of a thief. Like a cat burglar. It's not even respectable in no way, shape, or form. You ain't even thuggin' it.... I ain't respected Baby for a long time no way, so it don't matter."
We listened to the project and picked nine of the most disrespectful lines. Some are subs, some are challenges to fellow rappers, but all of them are petty. I wonder if Drake will respond since he's been feeling froggy lately.
“Untouchable”
Line: “I’m aiming for the moguls, why y'all niggas aiming at the locals?/And rap niggas broke like them, they’re mere hopeful/Still wishing on a star/The last one to find out that Baby own the cars”
I'll just leave this here:
“Retribution” f/ Kehlani
Line: “I’m the fire and the base/I’m admired by the greats/This to each and every rap nigga/I look you liars in the face”
Push is too confrontational. They should've never let him off probation, yo. Kehlani killed this hook, by the way.
“M.F.T.R.” f/ The-Dream
Line: “The illusion of money we don’t believe in/You ask me, Tyga looking like a genius”
Another one:
“Intro”
Line: “Let ‘em run amuck until the king resurface/Then it’s off with your heads/Wear your little jewels, you could floss when you’re dead”
This is just a general shot he takes at the game. Why doesn't anybody take a shot at Push?
“Got 'Em Covered”
Line: “Not concerned with your rap beef/Poetic justice watching you sock puppets”
This seems to be a shot at both Drake and Meek. I don't know. You be the judge.
“M.F.T.R.” f/ The-Dream
Line: “Niggas talking it but ain’t living it/Two years later admitting it, all them niggas is renting shit/They ask why I’m still talking dope, why not?/The biggest rappers in the game broke, voilà”
Always read the contract before signing on the dotted line.
“Crutches, Crosses, Caskets”
Line: “All I see is victims/My young niggas sic ’em/I don’t get ’em/I just get back their jewelry if I’m fuckin’ with ’em/Your man crush Mondays be owin’ niggas”
He does, actually. Tell him to stop ducking my calls, ma.
“Intro”
Line: “They take samples of ’em, I make examples of ’em/It’s the thrill of the hunt, I keep my mantle covered”
Pusha's favorite pastime is being a bully. He's running the yard as of right now.
“Crutches, Crosses, Caskets”
Line: “Old niggas slapping young niggas, ha/Imagine that, where you from, nigga?”
Fun fact: Puffy produced this track. *wink*
