http://www.vulture.com/2018/05/interview-pusha-t.html Another great interview, lots of studio talk. This part is pretty neat but the whole thing is a great read. You have some mafioso talk on here, like Raekwon. And Kanye is giving me RZA vibes with those beats a little bit, especially “Games We Play.” Just to give you the backstory, in Wyoming, one of the first sessions, we had to make song lists. So, I made a song list of 25 records or so. And, I remember what we really clicked at was, on my list was “Devil’s Pie” by D’angelo and [Raekwon’s] “Glaciers of Ice.” Within that, was “Incarcerated Scarfaces” [also by Raekwon] and a host of other records. R&B records. Faith Evans … So, what did make it on mine and what was an amazing groove? During this one particular session, I remember we got maybe one or two of my records, “Games We Play” being one of them, and then we found five or six of Teyana’s album, probably like four or five. So, that was the process. when you say you hear him or you say he got in his RZA, so on and so forth, I just wanted to tell you how that even occurred.
Whitney Houston Estate Responds to Kanye West's Usage of Controversial Bathroom Photo (Exclusive) In an exclusive statement to ET's Kevin Frazier, the estate of the late singer says they are "extremely disappointed in Kanye's choice" to use a photo of Houston's drug-filled bathroom as the cover of Pusha T's new album, DAYTONA, which dropped last Friday.
This answers a lot of questions I had about it It rubbed me the wrong way regardless of permissions given...but yeah that kinda seals it
I'm glad Pusha is as far away from that whole situation as he can be, even if at the end of the day he was fine with it so he's still technically involved.
Far away has he can be...except for it being his album cover and the one thing people see when they listen to it
I'm just glad he wasn't the one fiending for the picture and the one that sought it out, he had his mind set on another and it was Kanye being Kanye that really did it Not that he isn't accountable for that which I believe I've stated earlier in this thread, but it's the little things that can make me feel slightly better in kinda shit situations
alright poor choice of wording, I should have emphasized as he can be all things considered. I'm not saying he isn't part of it because yes obviously that is HIS album at the end of the day. I'm just a tiny bit more glad that it wasn't specifically him picking out that photo and paying the $85k for it. I guess that doesn't really matter in the end either who it was. I dunno, it makes a slight difference to me, making the most out of a shit situation.
I wish Push wouldnt have given all art control to Kanye. He may have not had any input but the cover is still ghoulish.
