Today is the 6th anniversary of Kanye West’s Grammy Award winning album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Pusha T, the man who Kanye has given so many opportunities to, thanks Ye for all and celebrates the album’s anniversary on Instagram.
Common just surprised fans with a remix to his Stevie Wonder featured track “Black America Again”. On the remix though, instead of Stevie singing the chorus, we have a combination of vocals from BJ The Chicago Kid, Bilal, John Legend, and Marsha Ambrosius. The song opens up with Gucci Mane showing a side many haven’t heard before, touching on the struggles of being a black man in a white country. Common also had his G.O.O.D. Music compadre Pusha T close out with a strong sixteen before the final chorus fades out.
Pusha T is urging California voters to go for Prop 64 (to legalize weed.) “If California’s Prop 64 passes, no one will ever be incarcerated for marijuana again,” Push says in a new PSA. “Marijuana arrests are the engine that’s driving the war on drugs. It’s one of the number one reasons people trying to reenter their communities are sent back to prison. I’m not a California voter, but I know when good legislation passes in the biggest star, other states follow. And that’s an important step in ending mass incarceration around the country. What’s most important to me is keeping people who are coming home, home. If ending prohibition on marijuana reduces recidivism, then let’s do it.” Check out the full video below. Legalize it!
Pusha T stops by the Colbert show and talks about a few things including, the “Grindin” beat and how it almost went to Jay-Z, writing the McDonald’s “I’m Lovin It” jingle with Justin Timberlake and also voting rights and mass incarceration.
For whatever reason, our generation can’t handle a rap beef, and suddenly they feel like certain topics are off the table. Do we forget about Pac and what he was saying about Mobb Deep back in the day? Hov alleging he slept with Nas’ baby’s mother?! Like, this is nothing new people!
