Pusha T drags Drake some more

[Lion Heart 15,041]

In an interview with The Associated Press, Pusha T discusses his Grammy nomination, Drake’s omission from the best rap category, West’s recent tweets and more.

AP: What does it feel like to see “Daytona” up for best rap album?

Pusha T: Man, for me the Grammy nomination is just the icing on the cake. ...I remember, like, being young, super-young and looking at the Grammys, I used to never see my favorite rappers up there... As I got older, and my favorite rappers were being nominated, they went through a whole boycott period. I remember rappers boycotting the Grammys. Then, ultimately, time moves on and I got to see some great ones — JAY-Z, Kanye West — receive a Grammy. To be nominated for what it is that I do, and what I’ve done — I’ve been very consistent for what I’ve done in the rap game — it’s amazing. I don’t know if there’s ever been any rapper who has embodied the streets so much and with this level of content and this level of pure artistry (that’s been nominated for a Grammy). I don’t know. This is really just the streets talking right here.

AP: Were you surprised to not see Drake’s album in best rap album?

Pusha T: No. I wasn’t surprised. I think everybody needs to stay in their respective category. I don’t think me and him are in the same category.

AP: When you released “The Story of Adidon,” were you afraid that it would overshadow the Daytona album?

Pusha T: That was a concern during that whole time. That was a concern. I always felt that I had rap album of the year. I always knew it. That was a bit of distraction in regards to me being able to campaign that from the day that I put out the album up until something like the Grammys. That was a bit of a distraction. We were sort of strategic about that. Very strategic on how we discussed it and what we talked about, because that wasn’t part of the album. That was extra credit.

Look at the recent winners for the award, yoy might reconsider your statement. Are you telling me 24K Magic is better than Melodrama, Fearless is better than The Fame.(Fearless' only saving grace is Love Story and You Belong With Me)
