Before Pusha T would pump out tracts and couldn't grind in
Mercy work on run away and like I love you with none other than Justin Timberlake
Before Pusha T would form clips with his brother
No, malice before signing as a solo artist with Kanye West good music and then become the president of the label
Before push the T with drop his fourth solo album
Daytona and take shots at Drake for using a ghostwriter and then revealing that Drake's got a baby boy
You are hiding a child that that boy come home. Deadbeat muthafucka playin mortem Patrol
Now I was pretty conflicted scripting this video for the old hip-hop heads pusha t he very much deserves it before their famous video
But for the younger folk, especially Drake Vance. Well, this easily could have been spun into an after their famous video in the end
I think I made the right decision because the story of Pusha T is an interesting one
the man has been in the game since
1992 and although he's highly regarded as a major influence in hip hop after a huge breakthrough year in 2002
Mainstream success and notoriety. Well, it evaded him for the most part with a little guidance from the king of controversy kanye west
well
It looks like the summer of 2018 is gonna be a big push for push of T
Now at the time of this recording he's on the front page for every news media outlet
So let me fill you in on everything. You need to know also his album, Daytona. I got to admit
It's got some pretty decent bangers and it's much better than some of the previous work. He put out including the McDonald's jingle
In fact McDonald's executives deny that push ahead any involvement on the track
Which begs the question why the hell would anyone be so desperate for a McDonald's go side
What's going on guys boy, Michael McGrattan documenting the life and career of Pusha T prior to Fame here for you
Um before they're famous now first off. I got to give a huge thanks to our sponsor candy pens
They were named the best vaporizer of 2018 by High Times and just wait for the news I have for you
It's super exciting. Now. This summer is heating up quickly and the beef is being served up red-hot
There are tons of videos I can make for you guys. I'm thinking about putting together a vs
Video on Pusha T and Drake or how about it before? They're famous on Drake's alleged, baby
Mama, Sophie sound off in the comments down below on what you want me to get done. Alright now, let's get into this video
Hey, be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell boom Pusha T was born Terrence levar Thornton on May 13th
1977 in the Bronx Lebanon Hospital in New York City New York what bush it was three his family relocated to Virginia Beach
Virginia which he still reps to this day
No in his early years his family had a real strong bond with his parents giving them a happy home
Although his parents would divorce after 35 years of marriage
Another father was a hard-working man from Tennessee who stood at a whopping six foot five
He was an intimidating man for the young boys
The boys were welcomed into a community of street hustlers as young teenagers. Well the boys began, you know selling a bit themselves
It was a little weird that these guys were getting mixed up with drug culture
But well pushes he he had his reasons. He explained just built up a gree drug decision two wrong choices
No vigil his drug dealing would result in a scuffle and the police were called to his parents home. Uh
somebody hit old me some money and
You know
we got into a scuffle me and a person got into a scuffle with me and a couple guys got into a scuffle and a
Guy came back and shot in front of my parents home, you know for sure that night
He got a whoopin for pops now malice being the older brother by five years
He took an interest in music first and started sharing his tastes and opinions with his little bro
This led to the boys starting to spit beats
Now Pusha T's first rap was titled too deep in the night and according to his big bro
Well, he totally crushed it the boys attended Brandon middle school, but when push it was 15 years old and malice was sweaty
They already knew that they wanted to make it in music
Now the brothers formed clips in 1992 and would spark up a strong working relationship with fellow Virginia native Pharrell Williams
Who push a well he would continue to work with him for many years to come
Telecrib me in like ten holes come from the cell phone. Give me that end zone
Clips put out their first album, exclusive audio footage in 1999 with the lead single the funeral
Although the single had some serious hype the album was shelved by the record label and the artists were dropped by electric records soon after
From their well, they would have better luck with their next album Lord willin
Which landed them at number four on the Billboard 200 and on there was the track grindin
Know this album picked up some serious fanfare with one critic referring to the clips as
gospel of street music coke rap on a
spiritual level
their next few albums
Wouldn't perform as well while the brothers found themselves locked up in bad recording contracts and they were fighting with their label
Constantly, they even went to court and all this will certainly slow down their momentum by now
They had launched the record label imprint REO prec ERDs and formed a group with a believer and Sandman
Referring to themselves as hell hath. No fury
They continued to press forward putting out mixtapes is doing features bullshit II had also worked with kelis in
1999 and Nivea in 2001
Also the boys helped Justin Timberlake get a little bit of street cred as he was transitioning out of being in a boy band
Do the same thing you might hit lay off you sleeping in the same bed
On top of this push of t he also worked with the Backstreet Boys. Yeah speaking on this
He told HipHopDX calm
my first feature ever was a
Backstreet Boy feature and my next feature was Justin Timberlake his breakout project trying to get out of the pop star boy bad luck
I don't have reservations when it comes to hopping on beats
It's a flow thing and it's just about how I can marry it and that's it
Now if you're wondering what Backstreet Boys song it was it was the remix for the call
But I don't think the remix went anywhere now in 2009 the brothers decided to go their separate ways
They were also at the center of a very real federal
Investigation that eventually landed their manager Anthony Gonzalez in jail for 32 years on drug trafficking
Charges now pressures like this led malleus to change his name to no malice and he began investing more time into his Christian faith
Oh shit. It's getting really really smoky in here
what the hell candy pens was named the vaporizer of
2018 by high times due to its combination of popular technology and its flashy design
It's also become the go-to choice for vaping in the hip hop and the rap community
Because it's got cosines from the legged DJ Khaled fat boy SSC young ma Amber Rose and ASAP rocky
He's got his own line called the Flacco Jody collection
Well, guess who they just signed as their latest brand ambassador the one and only Michael McCrudden
They've also hooked me up with the ability to get you all 25% off your entire order during checkout

alright, let's get back to pusha t so the brothers now that they were on their own will the next year Pusha T would make
A huge move to Kanye West's GOOD Music and he would be featured on Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
He would continue to collaborate with his new label mates including Lloyd Banks at Swizz Beatz
That attract from Pusha T's first solo record my god. Well, it was well received after being leaked in 2011
He then released the mixtape fear. God and later fear. God - let us pray
But it was around this time that pushes G and Drake
well
The beef had just begun in
2011 Drake dropped dreams money can buy in that track many hip hop heads believe that he subliminally dissed push a tea
bush and responded with track
Don't fuck with me using the same sample Drake had use on his track
No around this time both Drake and Lil Wayne
They were firing shots at kanye west and jay-z which pushes seemed to address on a track with lines like this
Rappers on the sophomore acting like they bossed Lords and more. He was in store with Exodus 23:1
Contract all fucked up
I guess that means you all fucked up Pusha T fired shots at little Wayne on your favorite rapper and Drake
Responded by threatening violence on Tuscan leather then a 2016 push it dropped
Hgtv which featured his hardest bars against drake today? It's too far gone when the real estate real the questionable pin
so the feelin named real which even didn't catch was another jab at Drake for not writing his own goddamn lyrics in
2012 Pusha welcome to daughter as well as his debut studio album
My name is my name which was released in 2013 followed by a performance at Coachella
Now his next album King push was released in 2016 with collaborations from jay-z on the album
