“He’s a whore.”
Pusha T är som vi alla vet ingen rappare man vill hamna i dispyt med. Detta har Drake tidigare fått erfara, men nu även Travis Scott. Detta på en ny Clipse-låt från deras stundande första album på 16 år.
Igår släpptes musikvideon till albumspåret “So Be It”, där tydliga dissrader framförs i den sista versen.
“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 gross 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”
Utöver “Utopia”-raden, en direkt referens till Travis Scotts senaste album, var det kanske initialt inte solklart att det handlade om just honom men kort efter dök ett nytt citat från duons GQ-intervju upp där det blev så tydligt det bara kan bli.
Med Pusha T:s egna ord förklarar han hur Scott flugit till Paris för att spela upp “Utopia” för Pharrell Williams, som producerat Clipses nya album i Louis Vuittons högkvarter. Han använde senare detta tillfälle som promo för sitt album, men spelade aldrig upp Drakes vers på låten “Meltdown” där han dissar just Pharrell. Något som förstås inte satt rätt med Pusha.
“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. 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]”, berättar han i intervjun och tar sedan upp exempel som bevisar Scotts illojala karaktär.
“He’s done this a lot. He has no picks. He’ll do this with anybody. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’”, säger han om låten där Drake dissade Ye, som länge varit mentor åt Scott. Han nämner också när han exalterat ville att Future och Metro Boomin skulle spela “Like That” på scenen, låten som var riktad mot Drake och fick bägaren att rinna över i beefen med Kendrick Lamar.
“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.”
“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.”
Push nämner sedan Ye, som han också nämnde på albumets första singel “Ace Trumpets”.
“I’ve already dealt with the lack of loyalty [to his] mentor, the guy he looks up to. 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…”
Han avslutar sedan:
“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.”
