Pusha T Crowns Kendrick Lamar ‘The Lyric King’
Pusha T Crowns Kendrick Lamar ‘The Lyric King’. Pusha T during a panel at Revolt World in Atlanta, spoke highly of his fellow rapper after being asked what he thought about Lamar’s impact on rap music. “It’s amazing,” he said.
“I’m sure people have said and have told him his whole career, ‘Oh, my God. You rap good. You’re great, but you rap too much. You need to make a song like this.
“You need to do that.’ It’s amazing to watch him be exactly who he is, be the lyric king.” He added, “And people who never even listen to lyrics are reciting his freestyles, his battles, his songs. It’s great to watch. And it’s great for what it is we do in lyric-driven hip-hop. It’s great to see.”
Just recently, when Lamar announced that he would be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick hit Drake with a little jab, saying,
“You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round twos,” in reference to his rival seemingly alluding to another round on his finsta account. Push, of course, agreed and posted the quote on his Instagram Story with the caption: “This is true…”
Pusha and Kendrick have only collaborated once, on 2013’s “Nosetalgia.”
“incredible display of battle raps” and “a master class” after Pusha was asked about the line, “F— all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T.”
