Pusha T Response to Drake: The Story of Adidon

Yall killing me with these bitch ass rules. Meanwhile Biggie threw shots at Nas daughter in Victory, and yall mad Pusha came at grown men?

"The son of Satan,
they say my killing's too blatant.
You hesitatin' I'm in your mama crib waitin'
Duct tapin' your fam' Destiny (Nas daughter name)
lays in my hands, gat lays in my waist."
Wow never knew that was about Nas.. Crazy!!
 
I know someone who was married to J Prince who is a first cousin. Grew up with him etc. They kind of went they ways as adults as we all do. Well ol boy had a marketable legal legit skill to put him on the payroll to take care of stuff. Lets just say after some stuff he saw being done he work for him no more. Said he wasn't about that life.

To try to JUSTIFY it beyond that?

Drake wants to be considered a great rapper if not one of the best. Can’t have that with people making reference tracks for you. Especially when he didn’t live any of the tough talk he raps about. And at the end of the day Kanye is a producer. That’s his main claim to fame. It’s different.
I'm sorry, but I thought I had heard the majority of Drake's songs..when the hell did he rap anything close to gangster? anything hard? All the nigga talks about is borrowing his uncles Acura, people talking about he wasn't black enough, hoes he scored with or got rejected by. Do you have any example of his trying to be hard? I'm seriously asking. Y'all making me defend this dude and I'm not even that big a fan, but I have to call it like I see it. And why all of a sudden are people acting like Kanye hasn't been trying to get the crown of greatest MC ever since he got in the game. He talks from the beginning about how the Roc didn't take him seriously and how he took it...talks about trying to top Jay and then claims he's on the same level. Shit I was absolutely shocked when I found out he had writers..I didn't even blink when I found out Drake had used other people's songs or hooks or whatever because I could see that. He's a pop star. But Ye been extremely cocky about his lyrical ability since day one. So yes, I have to wonder how Push really feels about Ye...and while I'm rambling..look who the fuck Ye chose as his Beyonce..a bitch who came up on a sex tape...sold by her mom no less..a bitch that Beyonce herself won't bring her kids around..Push clearly only hangs with this nigga for business..if he really thinks somethings wrong with raw dogging a hoe and having ghost writers. Let's be honest
 
Damn that picture is still daunting. To see it. Still.:smh:

Alright, you made a mistake at a young age, made hella money, NOW GO AWAY. Do some films. How embarrassing.
 
i don't don;t it...

but with all due respect to mr. prince that explanation was bullshit. Just say yo told them to stop cause money was getting effected.

To try to JUSTIFY it beyond that sounded ridiculous.

and Drake aint had no diss track ready.
I don't see how Drake could have a comeback ready..how could he come back from this? He already did that bullshit post explaining the picture and
I doubt there's any skeletons on Push's side that matter. He should just focus on his album and hope it does better than Ye and Push's
 
...when the hell did he rap anything close to gangster? anything hard?

:dunno:

"OVO I ride, OMO I ride
Reps Up, them my niggas from the Scarborough side
Don’t fuck with them, or hollow tips will fly
I don’t have to lie
Lot of people say it in a song just to say it, man, I’m not that type of guy"

Oh. If that's supposed to be him being hard, then I have heard him rap stuff like that. But looking at those lyrics is that not him
saying my niggas from the scarborough side will shoot you if you fuck with them?..I don't see that as him saying he will kill you.
But then again I guess you could read it as, I will bust behind you fucking with my niggas..but I would never take it that way based on his other lyrics.

Experts on Whether Pusha T's Drake Dis Could Land Him in Court

6/4/2018 by Gil Kaufman

As of now, the court of public opinion seems to have rendered its verdict on the case of Pusha T v Drake.

With his super hard-hitting takedown "The Story of Adidon," in which Push alleges that Drake is an absentee father to his secret love child with a porn star, the former Clipse member appears to have bested the 6 God in the battle track game. By doubling down with the single's cover art in which Drizzy is seen in blackface -- an image Drake says was meant to highlight racism in the TV and film industries -- Pusha appeared to have scored a rare K.O. against Drake in this round.

But could Drake come back at him in a different arena and win? Billboard asked First Amendment expert attorney James Chadwick of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP if the private information Pusha included in the track could leave him open to retaliation in the courts.
"There's no automatic exemption from potential liability for expression in the context of an artistic performance," Chadwick tells Billboard about whether Push is on solid ground because he leveled the attacks in a song. "The context is still important, because the context may affect whether or not assertions are treated as assertions of fact or as non-factual assertions. Opinion is a general category, but it's really more a question of whether or not a court would treat a statement as likely being understood by the audience as assertions of true fact, as opposed to someone just mouthing off, rhetorical hyperbole, exaggeration."

When asked what protections the First Amendment has in the case of one artist potentially having a financial impact on another's major roll-out campaign for a brand line, Chadwick, speaking in general terms without specific knowledge of the Pusha-Drake situation, says that's more complicated. "Financial loss doesn't affect whether or not speech is protected by the First Amendment," he says, "Financial loss may be a prerequisite for certain kinds of claims. There are claims that could be asserted other than what you might expect in a traditional defamation or invasion of privacy [case]."

That claim is called tortious interference of economic advantage, which, in layman's terms, refers to a case in which one person's unlawful, meddling actions intentionally damage someone else's business relationship with a third party, resulting in economic harm to either one. So, for example, if Pusha's apparent reveal that Drake's new line with adidas is going to be called Adidon in honor of his alleged secret son (reportedly named Adonis), and that the revelation of his offspring's story was going to be part of the roll-out campaign (as reported by TMZ) somehow interferes with Drake's business relationship with adidas, that could be an issue. A spokesperson for Drake had no comment for this article.

"Showing harm is part of that claim, and you might be able to assert a claim like that, but you'd still have to show that the speech at issue is not protected," he says, hinting at the difficulty in such a case.

The kind of back-and-forth that typically takes place in rap battles isn't automatically protected, according to Chadwick, but rather a mixed question of fact and law in which a court looks at the context and factors in who is involved in the beef. "Obviously public figures have a higher burden to establish liability for something like defamation," he says. "If you have well-known artists exchanging barbs, in general it's less likely that those will be treated as statements of fact. They're going to probably be deemed as opinion, but it's not impossible for them to be treated as statements of fact, to be found to be false and to be found to be defamatory. But is it even defamatory to accuse a rap artist of having an illegitimate child? I'm not sure it is."

The bottom line is on a good day libel/slander cases are typically very hard ones to win thanks to robust First Amendment protections. And unless Drake is willing to open up his private life to scrutiny and deny the information is true or confirm it and potentially lose face with both adidas and his fans, chances are he’ll respond with a track rather than a legal brief. "Truth is an absolute defense in all defamation/slander cases," adds noted hip-hop attorney Stacey Richman, who has worked on behalf of DMX, J Rule and Lil Wayne in the past.

And given the hip-hop bro code, in which bars are one thing but legal action is another, it's highly unlikely that Drake would come back at Pusha with a subpoena in place of another dis track. Besides, considering it's been more than a week since Pusha dropped "Adidon" and Drake has yet to respond, legal action -- versus lacerating verses -- would be a questionable strategy for the latter from a PR perspective. "Drake would lose more points [from hip-hop fans] for going to court," says hip-hop journalist and Genius' manager of artist relations Rob Markman.

Now, if the details spilled by Pusha in his song are all true, they may not be considered defamatory or actionable, but Chadwick says there could be a claim on invasion of privacy grounds, which assumes the information disclosed is true, but private and not newsworthy. "[But] that claim is difficult in a context like this, as well with people who are known for exchanging attacks," he qualifies.

Fam...

This shit ain't never seeing the inside of a courtroom.

That would be brand and career suicide for Drake and make Pusha-T an immortal in the eyes of rap.

*two cents*
 
After hearing and seeing J Prince on his media run all day, I've come to the conclusion that in addition to rescuing his "investment", he's seizing the opportunity. Great way to be placed at the top of the days news stories and promote his new book. Kind of brilliant... I can't be mad. But I refuse to believe that Aubrey had something locked and loaded and ready to bust (n/h) and didn't let it fly. OR maybe he did record something and his camp listened and told him that he was better off not even releasing that shit.

Ps: 30 PAGES??? I predicted 20, but 30? :smh:
 
For these Social Justice Warriors who think Pusha went too far may I remind you, It’s a Rap Battle: the objective is to belittle your opponent with wordplay and win the crowd over, plain and simple. There are no subjects that are taboo. I repeat, THERE ARE NO SUBJECTS THAT ARE TABOO

He understood that him and drake can go back forth about who’s real and who’s not and that is what the battle was initially; but when Drake not Pusha mind you, Drake brought Pusha’s fiancé and brother into it that is when Pusha unleashed the hounds of hell out.

What Pusha did was Attack his opponent’s Integrity and Pride from a pretty objective point of view on stuff that his opponent couldn’t deny. Very Strategic if you ask me. Sort of like in the movie 8Mile. He literally examined and diagnosed Drake for the world to see. Drake would literally have to take everything that Pusha dished out and flip the script, but guess what? Drake is not Eminem so we won’t see that happening.

The funny part about this is Pusha T was being nice. He really could’ve went in and a lot of ppl know this.

Drake Was Right, He Really Shouldn’t Have Given Pusha-T His Time
"The gravity of defeat is different when the L you hold becomes a moment of
cultural embarrassment for you, your family, and your fans."

Yoh Phillips

De3rwbNXcAAtzyv.jpg



“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its students." —Hector Berlioz


The fourth of June marks the sixth day of Drake's silence. Outside of a brief note clarifying the origins of his blackface photo, no words have been spoken, no raps released. It’s a loud quiet, an oxymoron of war. It’s also a long quiet; the seconds tick differently when each draws nearer to your downfall.

This is new territory for Drake. The master of meticulous calculation has become a prisoner of the proverbial clock. He has become what was once Meek Mill: a citizen of silence cornered into the quiet.

Rap beef of this caliber doesn’t allow for leisure to the losing; there’s no breather while being beaten. Since the release of Pusha-T’s “The Story of Adidon” six days ago, a response has been awaited. The only way to combat venom is with venom, and Pusha-T bares the fangs of an eyelash viper. Some believed it would be delivered the next day—the Amazon Prime tactic. Others considered the possibility of a more strategic release, on an unexpected day. With each passing 24 hours, the anxiety of anticipation only increases.


On Saturday, the fourth day of silence, Kanye West tweeted that the beef was off. On Sunday, the fifth day of silence, audio surfaced of J. Prince explaining the OG advice he gave to Drake: "Don’t respond." As a self-proclaimed J. Prince investment, it’s expected that Drake will comply with the demand.

This outcome is a humiliating forfeit to the biggest beef since Drake versus Meek. After years of sporting a flawless Mayweather record, Pusha has delivered Drake’s Ronda Rousey defeat. "I cried for two years, I was never taught how to lose," Ronda would later say, reflecting on the career-changing conclusion. Losing can have lasting effects on the psyche, and this is especially true for rap beef. The gravity of defeat is different when the L you hold becomes a moment of cultural embarrassment for you, your family, and your fans.

"What do you see when you see me?” Drake rapped in 2017, a question Pusha-T may have forever changed the answer to.

Was defeat always the destined outcome? Is Pusha an opponent better left avoided? Possibly. After years of subliminal shots, avoiding the minor heat cast by “Infrared” would’ve been a safe sidestep for Drake. Avoiding the direct confrontation comes with scrutiny from the basement, the same murmurs and whispers he’s spent a lifetime ignoring. Instead, he chose to enter the Colosseum before hungry spectators who have wanted to see if Drake was really Goliath or just David in warrior clothing.


Deciding to engage and release “Duppy Freestyle” was a rash moment of confidence without the consideration of consequences. “Don’t push me when I'm in album mode,” he boasted, and that is where Drake made a grave miscalculation.

The title of Pusha-T’s DAYTONA album is inspired by his favorite Rolex watch. Throughout Pusha’s press run, the recurring theme of every interview has been the luxury of time. He sees time as currency; the comfort of time is a luxury not afforded to everyone, even the rich. It took Push four days to respond to “Duppy Freestyle,” but he has stressed that timing, not Drake, was the biggest factor in his decision. He followed “The Story of Adidon” by going from radio station to radio station discussing the record, his beef with Drake, and of course, DAYTONA. Pusha was in post-album mode, able to turn his press campaign into a smear campaign, a former drug dealer turned politician.

Pusha had all the time to do so, an effortless opportunity made available by his excellent album. He had the luxury of accepting a Gov Ball headlining performance as a replacement for BROCKHAMPTON, able to perform before a crowd shouting, “Fuck Drake.”

Years of baiting finally paid off. Patience, pettiness, and persistence provided Pusha with the perfect time to unearth the skeletons in his adversary's closet. Drake’s blackface photo was given to Push, along with information concerning his possible son, the child’s mother, and the associated Adidas campaign. As Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War:

"Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment—that which they cannot anticipate."

This is the tactic Pusha used on “Infrared”; reviving an old, expected ghost lead to a reaction. If Drake considers the possibility of Pusha knowing about his child, maybe he doesn't bite the bait. If he still decided to fight, “I’m Upset” should’ve been his moment of confession. The record was released immediately following "Duppy Freestyle," it alluded to the news Pusha would publicize days later, and it would've given Drake more room to breathe. Airing out his own dirty laundry would have taken away the surprise from Pusha’s eventual punch, saving Drake from the damage of being deemed a deadbeat.

The damage of “The Story of Adidon” is deeper than a diss record, it's a disruption to what was slated to be Drake’s biggest summer. “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”—another gem from Sun Tzu.

When Drake uploaded an iPhone note to his Instagram Story in response to Pusha using his blackface photo as artwork, it was proof that time was of the essence. Imagine the phone calls from corporations who don’t care about the sport of rap beef, but about their associations. Drake the rapper forgot about Drake the brand, about Drake the ambassador of the Toronto Raptors. The suit-wearers who work in corporate offices won’t fret over a diss record, but, as Andre Agassi will tell you, image is everything, and Pusha released the kind of photo that could ruin corporate ties. Sponsors don't care if you intend to respond, they care about damages being controlled before decisions are made where pockets begin to dissolve like pride.

If Drake intended to confront Adonis on Scorpion, which I believe was the intention, Pusha spoiled the climax of his summer blockbuster. Depending on how much of the album was centered around this revelation, it’s likely those portions of the project are being reworked, rewritten, and re-recorded. Kanye scrapped his entire album after his TMZ appearance; the seven songs that appear on ye were completed in three weeks. It wouldn't come as a surprise to learn that Drake was forced to do something similar.


Time isn't on his side. Pushing back Scorpion would come with the speculation that it was Pusha who made him push it back, a headline he would rather avoid. June is here and he's in a completely different predicament from the artist who was sending out jackets to celebrities a few weeks ago.

Without any proof of the contrary, the last six days for Drake were likely the longest of his storied career. I can imagine the nonstop ringing of his phone, everyone from Apple to Adidas, Dennis to Ja Rule. I can imagine shuffling through Whitney Houston’s catalog looking for a sample to flip at midnight while hoping the information on Terrance comes before dawn. I can imagine one of his Atlanta partners recommending T.I.’s Trap Muzikdeep cut “I Still Luv You” as the perfect canvas to exhale upon. What I can see clearly is the realization of time running out.

“I really shouldn't have given you none of my time,” Drake rapped on "Duppy Freestyle," and now he has no time left to save the legacy he spent the last nine years carefully curating. Beef or no beef, the damage is done. He can't ignore what has happened, response or not. History is written by the victor, and Pusha-T is holding the pen.

It is day six and the 6 God is silent, and I’m certain there will be no rest on day seven.

“Been cookin' with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot, boy
360 with the wrist, boy”: 0-100

I’m also supposed to believe Drake suddenly can cook crack? That’s just a lyric off the top of my head.
 
"Drake called up all the lightskin brothers, thought they were coming back! Hit up all b sure and willow Smith!"
:lol:

but seriously...

this aint good.

in any way shape or form.

this aint like the minister finding peace between cube and common.

Drake just didn't know what to do on the mic.

Cause what if Meek had called Jay Z (Roc Nation) or some big time Philly OG to PRESS Drake?

cause Mr. Prince ain't the ONLY REAL one.

trust me.

Don't we have enough people who will dog Black men for us? Don't we have more important shit to worry about right now as Black people?

Not caping for no damn body, but this stuff seems counterproductive to me. Live and let live.

Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that

just a theory,

its to mentally prepare us for what the world is tryin to do to us as 'black" man...

whether its physically real life situaions or psychologically through t.v and media..

so when we experience it we are ready....mentally and emotionally...
could be..
one reason we have a low suicide rate especially when we go through more hardships than any other race...

its always been part of our street experience, from snappin to battle rap...
 
what da fuck is this Im reading... now they sayin it could be court

related shit..

gotdayam drake team really fuckin reachin..

everything was sweet when they got at meek..

but now they see their damage control aint workin..

they long reachin for an empty cookie jar..

if drake was to take this to court it would make the L he took much larger, whether he won in court or not...

I have no idea why his team is in panic mode, as long as drake dont have an emotional break down,

his records still gonna do big numbers and his concerts still gonna sell out....

Either you are maybe from a different generation of rap-hip-hop, not from the Black community, or maybe too enlightened.

This is just the dozens on a world stage, thats it. Nobody career is over, maybe altered, and this is the reality of EVERYTHING in the world around you. As a man you have to protect yourself, mentally, physically and spiritually.

You may be taken this and placing to much value on this. Something will come next week and this will be gone. We have much more as a people to worry about, this is entertainment, something else will take its place when its news cycle is up.

It ain’t that serious to me. It’s art. I’ll listen to Pusha T then listen to Drake music. Battling on the mic is a part of rap. The people who don’t get that never really were into rap at all.

Interesting though how nobody cared about meek mill being torn apart when drake put out two songs to him.

Yup J Prince promoting that book, with Drake name on the cover. Also Drake voice is on the intro for the audiobook. Pusha T would fuck up the book sales, but Prince should know his core fans will still buy the book. I give the win to Pusha T, he was going to end Drakes career. Women was starting to view Drake, like you don’t take care of your son. Your Dad left your mother at 5, plus you talking about someone fiancé.
