Earlier in the month Push was featured in Complex Magazine’s “Mantras” segment. For those that never read the piece in print, you can now catch it online, alongside a few outtakes as well.
Now that you’re on G.O.O.D. Music and solo, will there be an adjustment to your rapping style?
Pusha T: I tell people a lot of times, the dichotomy of the Clipse is Pusha is the brash one and Malice is the more introspective, conscious one. But when you’re in a group, there are roles that you have to play. With me being by myself, you’re going to get more of what might have been Malice’s role when I was in the group. It’s not that I don’t think that way…he’s just better at that than me. [Laughs.] That’s his first thought when wordplay is my first thought. You’re probably going to get a little bit of me articulating really introspective things and getting the full spectrum of me.

MAN, i just love the full CLIPSE things and moves,they keep it 100% ,always. i will miss CLIPSE till the next reunion and album togheter. but c’mon ,this PUSHA mixtape and albums would be MONSTERSSS, and wait for some MALICE solo albums mixtapes and books.
good bless clipse
I hate saying Pusha is underrated but considering how sick the man is with the wordplay & how he still doesnt get the same attention that Wayne, Drake, Kanye, & others get, he truly is.
Hopefully after his solo Push-a-ton will get the shine that is so over due….EGHCK!!!!!!!!!
