He really did lol
I like this one more than the previous song
Hmmmm....
"I had a little horsey named Paul Revere
Just me and my horsey and a quart of beer..."
good to hear Malice. He hasn't missed a beat.
Dope beat, sick visuals
Looking forward to the album
You cried in front of me, you died in front of me
Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me
Heard Utopia had moved right up the street
And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat
The 'net gon' call it the way that they see it
But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it
They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it
Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it

From GQ:
Now that the song is out for the masses to hear, I can share the portion of my conversation with Push in which he shed light on his issue with Travis and gave context as to why he felt compelled to write those bars.
When I asked Push why he went in like that, he cited Travis’s 2023 song “Meltdown,” which had come up earlier in our discussion of recent shots and taunts Drake had been throwing. The song’s title comes from Drake declaring, in a guest verse, that he’d “melt down the chains that I bought from your boss, give a fuck about all of that heritage shit,” a reference to the classic, peak-Neptunes-era jewlery Drake bought through Pharrell’s Joopiter auction site.
Travis is Switzerland on that song, but the fact that Utopia features production and vocals from Pharrell elsewhere on the album—and that Travis made a show of teasing the album by filming himself playing it for Pharrell—didn’t sit right with Push, who reveals he was also there that day.
“The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He came to [Pharrell’s] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session,” Pusha recalled. “He sees me and Malice] there. He's like, ‘Oh, man, everybody's here,’ he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his fucking monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]. And then a week later you hear ‘Meltdown,’ which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”
Push was quick to add that he doesn’t “hold Travis to any standard,” because as he sees it, Travis has a pattern of remaining conveniently neutral when it suits him. “He's done this a lot. He has no picks. He'll do this with anybody. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’”— on which Drake seems to diss Kanye, despite Travis’s close ties to him. Push then referenced last spring when Travis joined Future and Metro on stage and excitedly asked them to tease “Like That,” the song whose incendiary Kendrick Lamar verse ignited Kendrick’s beef with Drake: “He was on the [Rolling Loud] stage like, ‘Play that, play that!’ He don't have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He'll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot. But you can play those games with those people…We're not in your mix. Keep your mix over there.”
It’s the latter part that aggravated Pusha enough to the point of taking his issue to wax. “I personally have been removed from that crew and those people for a minute,” Push said, in reference to the larger Kanye/GOOD Music extended orbit. “So, that's where my issue comes in—like, dawg, don't even come over here with that, because at the end of the day, I don't play how y'all play. To me, that really was just like…he's a whore. He's a whore.” (Print can’t do justice to the disdain in Pusha’s delivery here.)
“I’ve already dealt with the lack of loyalty [to his] mentor, the guy he looks up to,” Push said, referring to Kanye. “I've been dealing with the corny shit that goes along with them. So it's like, I'm in a whole ‘nother place. Don't bring that over to bring that over to my house. I just wanted you to have that true context, man...and honestly, Frazier, you got to realize I've really been in Paris. I've really been making my joints. I've really been doing my shit.”
It was in this moment when Pusha got the most fired up, seemingly intent on disproving the perception that he’s a bully or that he’s engaging for attention or shock value. “When these people mention me, they're really going out of their way. What have I done besides wear clothes, bro, in the past couple of years? It's like these people are going out of their way. Somebody brought “Meltdown” to my house. To P's house, actually… I mean, I don't give a fuck. P don't give a damn. But it's like…”
It’s the principle.
“It's the principle of it,” Pusha said, impassioned. “It's the principle of what I'm saying. That filthy quality that they have about themselves, that lack of loyalty. Travis really has that. He's proven. I just named three people that he does that type of behavior with. I'm just not one of them. Dog, I ain't with that. This shit ain't coming out of nowhere. Bro, I be cool with all these guys. Everybody you mentioned today, bro, I promise you they did the underhanded, weird shit.”
And then they get the heat check?
“Always. It always comes.”

I know Timbaland mad af he didn't make this beat. Maybe if wasn't so busy signing AI bots and stealing people's beats on Tiktok he could've found it.
Malice was always my favorite of the two. Didn't really check for Pusha until he went solo.
"Fuck around and get your body traced tryna test me'
Cause niggas that I'm with like to draw when it's sketchy"
Push is definitely using Philly slang here. For non-Philly folks, this is just some wordplay. But "draw when it's sketchy" has an entirely different meaning if you're from Philly and Push came up (in the industry) with a bunch of Philly buls: Ab Liva, Gillie, Philly's Most Wanted, Roscoe... He would've heard them saying "drawin/drawlin" thousands of times. Dope line.

Doesn't draw when it's sketchy mean drawing your gun in a serious situation?
Is there another flip besides the obvious art one?
It does. Triple entendre.
It's not like some onspiracy shit.
#1 - The obvious draw/sketch = art
#2 - The one you mention, draw your weapon when things get hectic
#3 - The Philly slang. In the way he framed it, it would be the Philly version of pop off/crashout. "Yooooo, he drawed/drawled so hard. He just start swinging on niggas!" So replace "Cause niggas that I'm with like to draw when it's sketchy" with "Cause niggas that I'm with like to crashout when things look uncertain"
I keep using the slash because the pronunciation can be generational. In the 90s and 2000s we just said "Drawin." The 2010 kids said "Drawlin" with the L for whatever fucking reason." Today the kids say "Drawn" like it's just one syllable. Philly slang evolves I guess.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Timbaland is not responsible for all those hot records he did. Danja is along with Devante Swing. Timbalands beats he makes himself are HORRIBLE. Danja is actually Timbaland, it’s his Ghost producer. Listen. .
Huh?
That's what the end Push's verse was about. He's coming at Travis. Apparently Travis pulled up on The Clipse and Pharrell is Paris, played them "Meltdown." When the song released it had a Drake verse on there taking shots at Pharrell (that P hadn't heard).
You cried in front of me, you died in front of me
Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me
Her Utopia had moved right up the street
And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat
The 'net gon' call it the way that they see it
But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it
They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it
Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it
Also, Push talked about (GQ interview) how AFTER he did that shit, we went to Rolling Loud and wanted them to blast LIKE THAT and then Drake wasn't feeling that shit.
Yeeeeeeeckkkk
Always look forward to a Pusha T album and its Been too damn long since the last Clipse album...let's get it!!
