Besides being the most original beat here, in that it doesn't sound like every other hip-hop song out now, "Revolution" also sees Pusha rapping about his brother and the Clipse. Pusha teams back up with the Neptunes on "Revolution." The beat, which seems to sample "Take 5," is miles away from the weird futuristic beats the Chad and Pharrel supplied for the Clipse, but it still makes for the best song on the mixtape. He's makes better use of the melodic Harry Fraud beat on "Road Runner," although there is some irony in having Pusha brag about being a drug dealer in one bar and then complain about the police profiling him as a drug user in another. It's nice to hear a rapper who can actually rap working with Chief Keef's go-to producer, but Pusha's half-hearted rhymes about pushing weight sound recycled and tired.
"Blocka" has Pusha rapping over a dancehall-tinged Young Chop beat. "There's a meaning to the kissing of the ringĪnd Cassius ain't bothered by your swings" The beat is lethargic and Pusha is in full-on Godfather mode, trying so hard to be serious that he ends up a little ridiculous: It all culminates in a chorus of "Millions in the ceiling/Choppers in the closet" over an appropriately bombastic Southside beat.įrench Montana guests on "It Doesn't Matter," one of several younger artists that Pusha works with on this mixtape. "A thousand drug dealers with the cruelest intentions." I don't know where he is with No Malice's newfound churchiness, but on the Rick Ross and Kanye assisted "Millions," he almost seems to be mocking No Malice: "This is the energy I've been missing," he announces on the opening intro. Pusha knows he's doing the devil's business, and alternates between celebrating his wicked ways and trying to atone for them, although there isn't a hell of a lot of atoning on "Wrath of Caine."

Pusha is in full-on Hollywood fantasy mode now.Īs always, Pusha assumes the persona of a ruthless drug dealer who occaisionally dwells on the horrors his lifestyle has wrought. Any sense of reality that was present in the early Clipse material is gone. On "Wrath of Caine," he's in full Rick Ross mode (the rapper, not the drug dealer), acting as if it makes any sense at all that a criminal mastermind making billions in the drug trade would also be rapping about it.
