pusha

t was born in the bronx but when he was a child he moved to virginia beach with his brother malicia and while they were there they decided to create a startup in the snow shoveling business and the story is

pusha

and his brother moved away. More white powder than an avalanche of aspirin. Well, look, we're almost 30 seconds into the video. I can tell you that his business wasn't shoveling snow, it was actually construction in the sense that he and his brother supposedly moved more bricks than a building. cycle, okay, I think we're over 30 seconds into the video, now cocaine, they were selling cocaine, what do you want from me?

But this video is not an analysis of Pusha T and Malice's street credentials because the fact is, regardless of how many bricks they have. Pusha T and Malicia, supposedly moved, finally had the good sense to leave the streets behind and move towards the music industry by taking all that experience they had selling drugs and packaging it into deep, elegant lyrics and releasing music that was true ballads for the bando. , so pusha t and his brother malicia formed the clips duo and in my opinion when it comes to songs about drug dealing no one can come close to eclipse calligraphy but you don't have to take my word for it because there was a very familiar face in hip-hop who recognized the lyrical ability of these two young ex-dog dealers back in the early '90s, before anyone realized how good they were, and that person was Pharrell Williams, aka skateboard p aka Kermit without the green.

Now, in the late '90s, Pharrell managed to get the clips, his first record deal with Elektra, which led to the recording of his first album, his major label debut, exclusive audio material in 1999, however, after After releasing their first single, The Funeral, it was met with a rather cold reception. Elektra decided to shelve the album and the clips were left carrying her career in a coffin, but luckily Pharrell really got to see the diamond in the rough that the clips were, so he continued to be loyal and show support to them in between Pharrell Williams and his production partner Chad.

Hugo had been working together producing absolute hits under the name The Neptunes and beginning to make waves with his own musical duo. together they continued to gain momentum in the industry and eventually, through their hard work, established their own star record label under arista records and knowing that he could see the potential that no one else could, pharrell immediately signed the clips to his new label and began producing song after song for the boys from virginia and even back then pharrell had the midas touch producing a wave of certified hits. for the clip that came out straight without even being sued by Marvin Gaye, once his first big hit single was an immediate hit that peaked at number 30 on the billboard, not bad for a minimalist street anthem about drug dealing and, To this day, that song remains iconic hell.

Every time this song comes on randomly when I'm in the car, I want to pull over, call Jeffy, and start selling bricks on the spot, and the song even appeared in the rap yearbook as the most iconic song of 2002. You should go. and buy the rap yearbook, by the way, it's sick that he doesn't even get paid to say this anyway, from there pharrell continued to deliver the goods for the clips, delivering his second hit single, when the last time was even better than landing 19th on the card. and staying on the charts for 21 weeks for takashi to say two for two on the billboard and this would be the perfect time for the clips to launch his now iconic album. in the back of the cart throwing birds with them, this album was a huge success, hitting four on the billboard, selling 122,000 copies the first week and going gold within a month, but pharrell wasn't done helping his guys to win, but not by a long shot, he then took the clips to the mainstream by landing them placement on Justin Timberlake's hit song, such as I Love You, which peaked at number 11 on Billboard, so what the hell is this about?

What to do with a little Wayne? Well, we needed all that context. so we understand what happened next at this point pusha t is intensely loyal to pharrell williams and owes pharrell enormous gratitude for believing in him and taking him to the top, but before you know it, lil

wayne

Particularly young stunner Lil Wayne, with Lil Wayne quickly becoming a favorite of cash records. birdman and

wayne

established a very strange pseudo father and son relationship, as we all know, birdman and wayne were so close that sometimes they got too close and had a little kiss together, well anyway, the first collaboration between the cash money artist records and clips was the official grand dean remix which brought additional verses from lil wayne and birdman as well as the verse from former rap legend and current podcast switch noriega or nori and let's not forget that this is the same year that Pharrell Williams worked his magic and used his Midas touch to produce and appear on Norse Smashed Here Nothing or Nothing which had reached number 10 on Billboard, anyway the remix and the first major public collaboration between Cash Money. the star track and clips seem to go pretty well even though, for the record, Birdman's entire verse steals Klipsch's verse from the original because the theft of the source will be very relevant to this story in a moment and cash.

The defense of money in the grind. Lil Wayne's short but sweet verse remix is ​​actually pretty impressive, so that song is a hit and it's pretty clear that Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes seem to be able to pull a hit song out of their asses at any time, of course. It made sense for Birdman to enlist the help of Pharrell and the services of wrapping the clips for his next hit single. What Happened to That Boy, which frankly, in my opinion, is probably Birdman's best performance on record, of course, What Happened to That Boy came with a very ballerific, cash-like music video where we see Birdman wearing clothes so big it looks like he shrank in the laundry.

Now what happened to that guy is, in my opinion, one of the hardest rap songs ever, of course, he played the Birdman ad. lib on the map and from there it became a pretty common trope for rappers to make funny noises in their hooks to make catchy songs, but if you watched my previous video about the contract disputes between birdman and lil wayne then you'll know when it hits the money birdman seems to have a habit of fucking literally anyone he can get his way with fuck the hell out of that bull head he should change his name to Shaft so many years before he made fun of his own fake son the story goes that Birdman had cheated pharrell williams and the neptunes for payment and/or royalties over what happened to that boy b now pharrell and birdman have never spoken publicly about this and it is not clear exactly where or how pharrell and the neptunes were screwed by the cash and some have mythologized that it was specifically a bill that was never paid, the idea of ​​the mythical unpaid cash bill, of course, was given new meaning later in the feud between drake and pusha t when drake sent to push a bill to revive his career, but anyway it's generally considered a fact that birdman got stiff with pharrell, but being the classy guy that he is, pharrell never spoke publicly about this, but apparently from that point on he promised not to. working with no more cash-rich artists ever again, with rosenberg and ebro in hot 97, very helpfully pointing out that this is probably why. we've never seen a pharrell drake collaboration now in an alternate universe, this would have been where the story ended.

The very wise and diplomatic Pharrell Williams could never have gone back to working for cash, never talked about cash again, and continued producing hot cocaine. choruses from the clips and everyone in their careers would have lived happily ever after but that's not what happened and the reason it didn't happen was a damn bathing ape hoodie before we continue let's talk about fashion now as you saw in Birdman's Dreadful. outfits in the music video of what happened with that guy, the Cash Money team wouldn't know good fashion sense if they walked up and kissed him on the lips, but beyond Birdman's big and tall Waze store, the rest of his list was no different before. -2004 Lil Wayne's fashion sense is best described as blood gang meets big and tall basics, and sure it's nice to have endless hand-me-downs from Birdman, but it seems like it wasn't until Lil Wayne turned 20 that he finally learned how to use. vest properly, after finding this image I'm pretty sure that's exactly how Birdman wanted Lil Wayne to wear that vest, although it made sense all those years for the cash money fashion aesthetic to focus on t-shirts. oversized and wearing the kind of worn oversized gear that the young hooded d-boys from New Orleans would have actually worn on the block, that makes sense and is kind of cool, however, in stark contrast on the side of Neptune of music.

The industry Pharrell and his friends were earning a reputation for being some of the most billowy and drippy dressed the rap game had to offer, constantly attending media appearances sporting the latest in bathing monkey camouflage hoodies, billionaire boys club teas and ice cream skating pieces and, for some reason, Pharrell too. seems to have the same habit of lifting his shirt as Lil Wayne, at some point it feels like you're not even showing up in the rap game unless you have your little man pinching so apparently Pharrell meets Nigo, the god of streetwear. before streetwear was a thing, see their clothing line bait aka bathing ape and pharrell immediately falls in love with the brand and starts rocking heavy bait and in 2005 pharrell williams even teamed up with nego to launch the brand together as well of bbc billionaire boys club clothing. as the ice cream brand with a focus on skateboarding, with Pharrell first revealing his billionaire boys club brand to the world in the music video for Front of the Rink with Jay-Z and since then Pharrell has been showing off his bbc on screen more times brian pumper and pusha t later revealed in a vibe interview that through his connection with pharrell williams and jacob, nego jeweler himself connected with pusha t and the malice of the clips and began sending them boxes of clothes to vape just because he with his music and that's how he took a bath.

The clothing became a distinctive part of Pusha T's clips and fashion aesthetic going forward, with clips even appearing as models in one of Bathing Ape's catalogs and this is the rap game, so, naturally, in certainpoint, other rappers started doing like a bathroom. ape shark hoodie and got to bite on clips and pharrell's vaping booty and what do you know? In Lil Wayne's Hustler music video, he famously appeared waving a bunch of bait, but this wasn't a one-time thing, it appeared very quickly that the bathing ape also became a distinctive part of Lil Wayne's fashion style. He was seen with Bathing Ape on Rap City and, most famously, wearing a pink Bathing Ape hoodie on the cover of a 2006 issue of Vibe magazine, so in response to this whole rap game, he copied Pharrell and the clips dropped the song mr me too essentially criticizing all these rappers who are adopting his style and although many years later a newly reformed malice told dj vlad that the song was not specifically aimed at lil wayne, the track was perceived by almost everyone. who heard it as a clear discus towards lil wayne, as it seemed like he was the most obvious culprit of copying that style, so in response, lil wayne retaliated, but not with wax, but in a complex 2006 interview who went to the extreme saying he was the one who made vaping cool, not pharrell and not clits, now this was a scathing interview with lil wayne dropping so much salt it looked like he was trying to defrost the front porch of Meek Mill, even addressing the clips directly in this interview and ending up in a tense back-and-forth with the interviewer when asked about accusations of biting the clips in reference to both the bathing monkey style and rap about drug dealing, Lil Wayne essentially said he raps about being rich, not selling coke, not so much.

I'm sure of that and secretly questioned why the clips would have to rap about cocaine if they're actually rappers, but the interviewer continues to insist, which seems to bother whoever protests that he has five platinum plates. Why do you need to rap about vapers when? has his own clothing line on the way and then, like Donald Trump, looking straight into the sun, Wayne says he doesn't see any clips that suggest they were the ones who had to make a song with Birdman just to warm themselves up, come on Wayne , No. one really wants to make a song with Birdman, you only make a song with Birdman to stop him from trying to kiss you anyway, Wayne continues to double down on the disrespect by saying who Pharrell is and saying he doesn't respect him and in a final snake move.

Lil Wayne says Pharrell wore babe and people thought it was weird, but when Wayne wore bait, people thought it was cool and turned it on, which contradicts his whole defense against being a biter, but whatever, but he finally calls them out everyone for even talking about him on that record calling them fake for putting him down for using bait and then essentially saying that if they come to New Orleans with that they're getting wet, suggesting they're putting him down in interviews, but they're not likely to bring that. energy for him in person now pusha t immediately disowned lil wayne in an interview on a virginia radio station saying that wayne is a biter and that he is showing poor judgment with those comments suggesting that wayne is just stuck in trouble trying to promote his new album. and Pusher then specifically responded to this interview by referencing Wayne's fake, tough gangster killer talk at the end by rejecting Wheezy in a hilarious way, then at the end of the interview he completely backtracks and says, "I don't want to no meat." I don't want any trouble, um, beef is a serious thing where I come from and I don't want that, and if that's the case and he doesn't want it, he might want to shut his mouth because Lil Wayne isn't aggressive enough.

Mention myself, my brother or any part of this Rio gang regime in an interview in which he talks about the drama of beef, killing. He mentioned killing, as well as how he handles beef and will kill, and we don't believe that and we know you. the fans, our fans, you don't believe that either, I mean let's be honest, the first time he touched a gun, he shot himself, that's wild, push wild, so the tone was set at this point and while pharrell remains always the The diplomat never publicly gave credence to this meat fight, naturally he wanted all the smoke and in the years that followed we would see a handful of back and forth confrontations between the cash and paperclip camps in a cover story magazine titled Planet of the Bapes Push said Wayne can't be a legend if he's copying other people who say Wheezy is here rapping like Jay-Z dressing like in the clips and then became a cocaine dealer after five albums, essentially saying that Wayne is not.

No trendsetter anyway, Pusha T continued to diss Wayne and Baby, such as in the re-up gang intro to his mixtape We Got It For Cheap Vol 3, where he distilled Wayne's lazy flow and basic metaphors and made reference to the strange baby daddy relationship between birdman and Now for a brief moment it seemed like this feud was over for a second because in 2009, Lil Wayne got caught in a bit of trouble after the feds discovered a gun on his tour bus at a tour stop in New York and after his DNA was found on the gun he was finally beaten and sent to Rikers Island to serve about a year.

Pusha T told Complex that he really didn't see the point in belittling Wayne while he was in jail and even congratulated him on being free in the open court. Your eyes from his Fear of God mixtape, which for the record is one of the best mixtapes in rap history, I don't care what anyone says, apparently at one point Pusha T even ran into Lil Wayne at the club live where they were apparently on good terms, but a year after Wayne got out of jail, the beef was heating up once again and to be honest, Pusha T may have just been doing the honorable street beef thing and not kicked a man while he was serving time in jail. but then he got on his ass when it came out, pusha t released the scathing diss track exodus 23-1 and it was, of course, on that track where he addressed Cash Money's business practices with the now iconic line about Drake's contract with Wayne , who signed a baby that was signed to Universal and goes on to say that Wayne's contract is up, impeccably predicting the fight between Wayne and Baby that would play out publicly in the years following this fight and which I have covered on this channel before that Pusha T also made fun of. wayne for being a fake blood hanging out with birdman saying that birdman is taking half of wayne's money and also suggesting that his team totally stitched up lil wayne when he was forced to take that gun charge, a charge let's not forget to push The team mocked Wayne mercilessly because in this flashback interview, when he was caught with a gun in New York City, he had no bullets, so we already know he's not good with guns after the release of Exodus.

Wayne quickly responded on Twitter saying pusha t. and everyone who loves him, as good as his label mate Kid Cuddy is, apparently loves Pusha T, so he chimed in by saying anyone who doesn't like Push anyway. Wayne's tweet wasn't strong enough to serve as an actual response to this diss, so a day later, Lil Wayne responded. on wax with the macabre theme of him recycling that pusha t and everyone who loves him lying on the tweet of him reiterating that he's really a blood, no I'm really an honest blood, throwing out a bunch of assorted bars that didn't really have any effect. them and finally reference what happened with that kid song that started this whole beast to start by saying he's going to clap, push now for the record.

Lil Wayne is in my top five rappers of all time. Frankly, he's done more for the rap game. that the clips and his artistic contribution to hip hop in general is incomparable, he said that this macabre album was widely considered hot garbage and many people came out to say that it was the worst insult in the history of hip hop and very quickly the hashtag things. better than lil wayne's pusha t began circulating online, contenders included gucci's face tap, justin bieber's otis freestyle, and even freecreditreport.com's pusha t jingle responded to ghoulish on hot 97, essentially making itself echo of what everyone else was saying at the time it's rubbish what was your opinion of wayne's response it was horrible it was horrible it was it was it was rubbish it wasn't great i haven't said anything about it because i never didn't think it was good enough to respond and interestingly enough after the release of his own trash record, Wayne even came out to say that he didn't really have a problem with pushing down playing macabre like an actual distortion record, suggesting it was more simply his reaction immediate when listening to Exodus in musical form which To be honest, it makes me want to leave Lil Wayne out of this because we all know he's really capable and after being publicly aired by pusha he probably just wants to feel like he invented and got a response , but not.

No matter which way you explain it, the song was trash and Lil Wayne essentially took an l on this issue, of course you could probably argue that maybe Lil Wayne dodged a bullet by not being tough on Pusha T at this point because, like everyone I later learned that escalating the feud with Pusha T can be fatal, so it was at this point in the feud where Lil Wayne had failed and his feud with Pusha T was over spiritually, but that's just Lil Wayne's involvement because let's not forget that Pusha T does not forgive and he.

He doesn't forget it so Pusher raised his goal higher looking for a goal bigger than Lil Wayne and made his desire for a new bigger goal fight with a new Godflow very clear on the track with Kanye West even explaining in an interview with hip-hop. cabled that he felt Wayne's answer in Macabre was so bad that it wasn't even worthy of an answer and therefore, when it came to a new flow of gods, Pusha T used this as an opportunity to mess with the operations that they were on either side of Lil Wayne explaining that. His lines in that song were specifically directed at Birdman because he didn't like something he had said about good music in an interview.

This was a reference to a 2012 interview with Complex where Birdman questioned what good music had happened musically besides Kanye. west, so pusha t used her appearance on new god flow to goad birdman with lines like they claim they have five stars but they sell you dreams, a reference to one of birdman's nicknames like the five star stunner and his tendency to not pay people in other places. about jumping aboard good music to be to kanye what Shine was to p Diddy back in '99. I mean, his shooter but of course, in this case, metaphorically shooting Kanye and Pusha's record label operations Key instead of randos in a nightclub like Shine did in At this point, we metaphorically respond to the likes of Cash Money Birdman Lil Wayne and, of course, his new biggest star artist and emerging enemy of Kanye West Drake, of there the line about death coming in threes because here Pusha T says he has three enemies to finish. from lil wayne, who pusha t had already taken it upon himself to defeat him by tko after the terrible and macabre birdman of the district of lil wayne, who is not even worth dissing anyway because his raps are on the level of to begin with kindergarten and of course the real goal that Pusha T would really go after Cash Money Records' new golden boy, Drake, so tune in to the video below and find out how Pusha T fared, thanks for watching Peace Out You.
