Pusha T Says Rap Fans Have Gone Soft for Sympathizing With Drake
When Pusha T dropped his Drake disssong the “Story of Adidon,” a lot of people said he went too far. That’s because he went at Drake’s parents, Noah “40” Shebib, who has Multiple Sclerosis, and because he re-posted that much talked about blackface image.
In fact, there was so much sympathy for the “God’s Plan” rapper, Push said it made the battle less fun and taught him a lot about where rap music is these days.
“I don’t know what was gained or what was lost,” he told GQ. “It’s different because there’s a lot of sympathy and compassion and things like that I didn’t know existed. That’s why it’s not even fun to me anymore … It’s so weird. There’s a sentimental aspect that I didn’t know existed but new rules. I’m learning and discovering a whole bunch of new rules in the rap game and I’ll just leave it at that.”
Do you agree with Push? Are rap fans too sympathetic these days, or did he really go too far?
