This is definitely one of the smartest music review channels on RUclips. Holy shhiittt you guys are good. Clearly educated and nuanced, as well as a great ears for sound
You can tell based off the recent Pusha interviews that these aren’t really Pharrell’s favorite type of beats too make, still thought it worked out for the most part but I feel you
Pharrell took it back to the Hell Hath No Fury days. I loved his drums on here. Too bad Chad Hugo wasn't back in the lab with him for this project tho. That would've been real special.
malice's verse was seriously one of the greatest of his entire career, i was really unsure if push could top daytona but this is everything i needed from a push album
Easily one of the year's best albums but also AOTY contender and may even win with many more listens. You get some of Pusha T's best verses, production from Pharrell and Kanye that seems like a Versus match, and even some unique and fresh flows from Pusha. Stand out track for me is between Let the Smokers Shine the Coupes and Scrape it Off because MAN does Don Toliver deliver a catchy hook. 10/10 for me.
This is Pusha’s masterpiece. Less a successor to Daytona and more a continuation of Hell Hath No Fury. It’s darker, more evil, grimier and better written. Flawless production. His masterpiece. This is maybe their worst take. Still love ‘em though.
It's a more refined album than Daytona, but not grimier or darker, nor better written. Every track on Daytona was low in pitch. This felt a lot more commercial for a Pusha-T album. A lot of loosies should have made this album such as Drug Dealers Antonymous, Sociopath, HGTV, even Cold Blooded which isnt about Cocaine. A lot of Pharell's production was underwhelming and did not stimulate Pusha-T
@@john-tr8jy drug dealers anonymous wasn’t a loosie lmao. That came out years ago, unless you just meant a loosie in general. This is easily his masterpiece.
This album production was a bit more experimental this time. Pusha’s bars are still cold as ever but even he himself is playing around with different cadences and voices too! To be honest though, was a little underwhelmed with the pharrell side of production unfortunately but overall 8.5/10! Pusha def got another great album to the discog
I feel like y’all undersold every category except production, I would bring up every other rating by one. The lyricism is great, the production is phenomenal, and every feature (whether it had a place or not) did it’s job. He’s so menacing and every song has something good about it. Amazing album
This is the best Pusha T album without a doubt that Lil uzi verse great, because I didn't even imagine how it would sound like. What separates it from Daytona, is the length, this album is more musically composed than Daytona and it clears the noise on how people view pusha T his not just a rapper his an artist, and Pharrell made sure of that. But I will say this this a 10/10 rounded album. It's a gonna be a masterpiece and masterpieces need time for them to hit you.
It’s Almost Dry: 8.5/10 1. Just So You Remember 10/10 2. Let The Smokers Shine The Coups 9/10 3. Brambleton 9/10 4. Dreaming Of The Past (Ft. Kanye West) 9/10 5. Pray For You (Ft. Malice & Laberinth) 8.5/10 6. Diet Coke 8/10 7. Call My Bluff 8/10 8. Hear Me Clearly 8/10 9. Neck & Wrist (Ft. Jay-Z) 8/10 10. Open Air 8/10 11. Rock N Roll (Ft. Kid Cudi & Kanye West) 7/10 12. Scrape It Off (Ft. Lil Uzi Vert & Don Toliver) 6.5/10 (IMO)
There are no skips on It’s Almost Dry; this is an amazing album. Pusha’s flows, the production are top tier, he’s a lyrical giant and it showed. Ye and Pharrell did their thing. It slaps front to back
This might be my new favorite Pusha T album and is for sure an AOTY contender, but I don’t think it beats out MMESYF since that album is just amazing, but so is this one.
Y’all are comparing it too much to Daytona, even i did that in the first listens, now in trying to treat it for what it is, and i think it will age better with time, we would call it a classic sooner than later
Yeah the way he approached the soundscape (more varied) and the lyricism with stories and more nuance instead of just flashy punchlines the whole album means this will lend itself to longevity
To be honest this album didn’t fully reach my expectations, I wanted more soulful production like on Dreamin of the Past or Diet Coke, but I still really enjoyed this album, 7.5-8/10 for me so far based off of like 3 listens so far. I like how he tried to diversify his production and rapping style, but feel like it wasn’t as good as daytona imo
Nah man this album is a 9, there is no skips, and the only critiques I’d have is the tone on the Uzi and Don Toliver song is completely different to everything else on the album and Cudi’s hook on Rock n Roll is annoying
@@barry4649 I respect your opinion but my skips were the uzi and don song, call my bluff and neck & wrist, although the verses were fire on neck & wrist (especially Hovs) I wasn’t really feeling the beat or hook on that one personally
@@shrubs5098 fair, I understand skipping the Uzi and Don song because it doesn’t fit the album at all but it’s still a decent song, and Call My Bluff should’ve been more dark to go with the menacing atmosphere of the song. Putting Hear Me Clearly straight after these songs really worked imo though
Dope review guys. Great observation on push being more menacing and veceral but calm almost like it's more personal I kind of compare it to in my opinion Royce 5'9's recent couple of albums he has opened up a lot more but still kept his edge and I can definitely say the same for push especially for him being in the game for decades at this point. And that's the thing that makes this album something different. Let the smokers shine the coupe is a problem right now for me because it is scorching Hot fire and it's classic 90's Neptunes the funeral type vibes with pusha t's life after death delivery as if he has a statement to make and of course Pharrell being at the helm makes it even more amazing and grandiose.💯
Was waiting for this. Great album. Dream features- Benny the Butcher, Freddie Gibbs, Kendrick, Westside Gunn, ASAP Rocky, Nas, Boldy James, Ghostface Killah, Anderson. Paak, 21 Savage (on Brambleton) MF Doom (on call my bluff (look up Gorilla Monsoon for reference of Doom over another sinister beat)), 070 Shake, Yasiin Bey as a spoken word outro on the last track, The Weeknd singing a second hook on the last track (keep Labrinth on the first hook because he did a great job as well).
This would be feature overload for me for a pusha album cause I love mostly hearing him… BUT at the same time I would love to see every single feature you mentioned. Cause they would actually work! Ps. I would add Rick Ross. I would love to hear them do another song together.
i’m kinda surprised that there’s little to no mention of hell hath no fury or lord willin. some of P’s production on the album gave me those early 2000’s vibes.
man the beats were crazy on this one . i can def say this joins my favorite albums. but i did have some gripes i did not like ye's verse on dreaming on the past cause he sounds like hes reading his verse and not actually performing it idk. and crazy u guys say u dont like scrape it off the top that song is easily my fav of the album after let the smokers shine the coupe cause that beat is so crazy. i love it. ye and pharrell put in work on this one man. the music is so good.
@@toothbrush1874 the cadence he chose to use while spitting the lyrics don’t really match, but the fact that his cadence is so laid back and almost emotionless makes the lyrics feel even more chilling haha it’s not “genius” but something I really loved about the track
with all due respect to the artists' that have released this year, pusha has the best release of the year SO FAR. i am a huge kendrick fan and believe that he will dominate the year overall, but pusha's bars + the production will give give him the gold spot,, much to his dismay.
Great album 8/8.5 out of 10 for me so far. Love both Kanye songs. Malice killed his verse. Both production was really good, but Kanye production was so so good.
I really believe Pusha T is after just about sneaking into the top 10 rappers of all time with this album, and if you disagree, out of any rapper out for 20 years the only ones so far who have maintained a high level of albums are Jay-Z and Nas (though I expect Kanye to get there too). Pusha T is not only still at a high level but he’s actually improving with time, Daytona and It’s Almost Dry are both in the top 5 albums of the last 5 years for me
I think this is pushas best work fo sure. The production is amazing, the laughs that occur through out the whole album, the features especially Malice and labrinth, the cover, the length, the bars like cocaine Dr Seuss? BRUH THIS ALBUM IS A 10/10 AND THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR RIGHT NOW(when kendrick drops it could get debatable)
If you haven’t already, I know pusha out but there’s a gold in the rough with redveils album learn 2 swim. Top 20 listen of the year (listened to 100+ albums from this year)
For almost all the categories I would give it a rank higher, especially replay value. I’ve been bumping this album nonstop for me no skips at all. I actually love scrape it off the top that hook is so infectious.
Ye brings out the bars pusha T Pharrell brings out the melodic pusha T, that’s a reason why I think Daytona clears just cause Daytona is grimy. Just so you remember reminds me of nostalgia infrared and numbers on the boards. All those tracks were produced by ye. I really want Daytona 2. But it’s almost dry is a strong 8 or 9.
@John Baptist I agree all of Kanye’s songs and beats just fit pusha so much better. If anything this album just made me wish Kanye had produced the whole thing again. Hopefully we get Daytona part 2. But I still believe it’s almost dry is better then my name is my name.
That was labrinth on the bridge for i pray for you. I also think he might have played or helped with the keys it sounds very much like him. Great video!
I just love that each song represents a different era of Pusha going all the way back to Lord Willin. only fitting that his two greatest producers split the workload across the tracklist
I won't lie why I really enjoyed the album and actually believe it will make my top 10 albums of the year fosho I did have a lot of expectations when he was saying it was gonna be better than Daytona so I was a bit let down but easily one of the best produced albums of the year so far
From my first listen, a great album. I agree with you guys on a lot of these. Brambleton and dreamin of the past were my standouts. Diet coke was a standout but we already heard that lol
To me this album feels like a producer vs battle between Kanye and Pharrell in the best way possible to see who can put produce and push is just laying bars to what he gets
I listened to the album on long driver earlier today. I’m sure other drivers on the highway witnessed me crying hysterically from joy. My favorite song is “Open Air” . How about y’all ?
Am I the only one that realized Pharell used the same snare drum on all his productions in this album? Open Air was the only good Pharell production. This was definitely a more commercial album for Pusha-t who's ever-niche, at the same time it was more personal than anything's made.
@@NFRPodcast hmmm id say so. i love melt my eyez, its a 9/10 for me, but this project is just so concise and pusha has such a good presence on each song backed up by the best bars in the industry and ye/pharell production - its just immaculate
I agree to almost every take y’all took… Actually y’all tripping on the production it was perfect! But I do agree 1-6 was a better run, scrape it off and rock n roll wasn’t it
I think this album will age to be better than Daytona did, and I loved Daytona. It has more content, the singles are so much better in context of the album, the production is on another level from Daytona, and it’s more well rounded than Daytona. I think this track list had plenty of quotables on every song, I was able to pick them up on a first listen. Right now I’m still partial to Daytona, but over time that could definitely change.
I like this album. Creative and of course great production by two of my favorite producers Pharrell and Kanye. I think on the Kanye produced songs... Pusha T was rappin,rappin..a lot of bars..mixtape vibe. On the Pharrell produced beats..he had a more melodic flow..more melodic and composed songs and dark. I still give the edge to Pharrell overall but Kanye had the best produced song on the album with Dreaming of the Past..classic signature Kanye.
tbh i love pharrell's production but his beats on this album aren't really hitting for me yet. i'm hoping they grow on me though i'd understand if some people preferred this over DAYTONA since it's so different, but i personally prefer DAYTONA, at least as of rn
The rapping on this album is IMMACULATE. Artist Performance is perfect. Y'all better relisten to that Scrape it Off verse with the "My Boy" anaphora. The Bars are out of this world. Saying that the production carried is absolutely wrong.
Song grew on me over the weekend. By far the most "commercial" joint on the album. Still could've did without the Lil Uzi verse, because he's just not my cup of tea. Push and Don Tolliver could've carried that joint alone.
Brambleton,Open Air,Hear me Clearly were my fav...one I would take off the album is Let the smokers...something about the beat & flow didnt mash well for me
Album was cool, but I wish pusha T would expand his content still. Like Daytona, I will never replay this album again. I still think The Who I Am and the prelude to king push are his best projects due the variety of instrumentals and the expansion of his content like with 40 acres and M.P.A. This album was not worth a 4 year wait IMO sadly. I still think he is an amazing artist, but I don’t think I will be searching for his content after this project.
Fun fact: Pusha address Drake “Middlemen” bars on his song with Jack Harlow on Just so you remember when he raps “She just spent a million on finishes, millions were made out of middlemen, the hole in the attic was not just for a ceiling fan”
I doubt that haha. Unless he heard the leak a long time ago (and idk if the verse even existed then), he wouldn't have had time to record a new verse. Some albums (like Donda/Donda 2) are worked on right up until they release, but the way Pusha was promoting this, it's clear that the whole thing had been done for a little while before he dropped it.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
The album was lowkey a beat battle between Ye and Pharrell!!! One of Pusha’s best works FOR SURE!!🙌🏾
Pretty much lol
Who brought the better beats?
@@NFRPodcast Kanye but it's close tho
@@NFRPodcast the kanye tracks kinda sounded like college dropout Beats l think his beats were better and Pharrell did great too
@@NFRPodcast Kanye just about got it with 'Dreaming of the Past', but the production from both him n pharrell was immaculate 🔥
This is definitely one of the smartest music review channels on RUclips. Holy shhiittt you guys are good. Clearly educated and nuanced, as well as a great ears for sound
the only thing that bugged me about this album was pharrell’s drums. it sounds like he used the same snare and hi hats on all the beats he produced
No cap I peeped that too lol I thought I was trippin
Yea I was like why do most of the beats sound the same even tho they don't
You can tell based off the recent Pusha interviews that these aren’t really Pharrell’s favorite type of beats too make, still thought it worked out for the most part but I feel you
BIG FUCKING FACTS! I'm so annoyed with P for his lackluster efforts.

@@NFRPodcast Yeezy 100%
One of my favourite albums of last year along with J.I.Ds album
I've listened to the album a few times theres a ton of slappers and crazy bars. I like it but I think Daytona has better production.
Favorite beat on the album?
@@NFRPodcast Might have to be "Dreamin of the past"
@@farraribeats imo that’s the worst one cuz it reminded me of Daytona and that album was a 6/10
@@vemdevaire7675 *in your opinion
@@vemdevaire7675 get your ears checked if you think Daytona is a 6
Fire. Love the album. Push delivered been on repeat all day
this a album that has to grow on me
I knew production was insane but damn🥶
I listened to the album on long driver earlier today. I’m sure other drivers on the highway witnessed me crying hysterically from joy. My favorite song is “Open Air” . How about y’all ?
My parents watched me do that😂
DRINKING GAME:
drink everytime Anthony says "I feel as if..."
It was cool to hear No Malice and Pusha rapping together and they went crazy.
Am I the only one that realized Pharell used the same snare drum on all his productions in this album? Open Air was the only good Pharell production. This was definitely a more commercial album for Pusha-t who's ever-niche, at the same time it was more personal than anything's made.
The "my boy" on scrape it off the top was a message to Drake who if you remember said "my girl" but only us hip hop heads will peep that 🤫
push has aoty unless kendrick drops a gkmc/tpab level
Its almost dry> Melt my eyez?
@@NFRPodcast hmmm id say so. i love melt my eyez, its a 9/10 for me, but this project is just so concise and pusha has such a good presence on each song backed up by the best bars in the industry and ye/pharell production - its just immaculate
@@NFRPodcast it’s definitely better. This is Pusha’s masterpiece to me. Love ya guys!
pusha has a good album but nothing has come close to mmesyf
@@willmathesonn I'm not the biggest fan of constant coke bars, so mmesyf is above Push
I agree to almost every take y’all took…
Actually y’all tripping on the production it was perfect! But I do agree 1-6 was a better run, scrape it off and rock n roll wasn’t it
I think this album will age to be better than Daytona did, and I loved Daytona. It has more content, the singles are so much better in context of the album, the production is on another level from Daytona, and it’s more well rounded than Daytona. I think this track list had plenty of quotables on every song, I was able to pick them up on a first listen. Right now I’m still partial to Daytona, but over time that could definitely change.
Nah Daytona has better production
where can i get that MF DOOM shirt???
"Call 1-800 CALL MY BLUFF"
That song is fucking crazy 💯
This album is phenomenal!
theres no way I literally just went on the page to see if yall posted this cus I thought I just didn't pop up on my notis lmao
I like this album. Creative and of course great production by two of my favorite producers Pharrell and Kanye. I think on the Kanye produced songs... Pusha T was rappin,rappin..a lot of bars..mixtape vibe. On the Pharrell produced beats..he had a more melodic flow..more melodic and composed songs and dark. I still give the edge to Pharrell overall but Kanye had the best produced song on the album with Dreaming of the Past..classic signature Kanye.
tbh i love pharrell's production but his beats on this album aren't really hitting for me yet. i'm hoping they grow on me though
i'd understand if some people preferred this over DAYTONA since it's so different, but i personally prefer DAYTONA, at least as of rn
Love the closer
Great review by the way I thought the album was really good but wasn’t as good as Daytona.
This album is HARD
The rapping on this album is IMMACULATE. Artist Performance is perfect. Y'all better relisten to that Scrape it Off verse with the "My Boy" anaphora. The Bars are out of this world. Saying that the production carried is absolutely wrong.
Song grew on me over the weekend. By far the most "commercial" joint on the album. Still could've did without the Lil Uzi verse, because he's just not my cup of tea. Push and Don Tolliver could've carried that joint alone.
He still talking about that pack of coke he sold in the 90’s…..
And ?
@@RavenAstralis does it get predictable to you at all?
Brambleton,Open Air,Hear me Clearly were my fav...one I would take off the album is Let the smokers...something about the beat & flow didnt mash well for me
Open Air.
Damn surprised artist performance didn’t get Amazing, his bars are better than ever
bro... neck & wrist is like the best single of the year wym
Btw can we get N.O.R.E on a let the smokers shine the coupe remix!!!!!
This is the album of the year , hands down 🔥
Album was cool, but I wish pusha T would expand his content still. Like Daytona, I will never replay this album again. I still think The Who I Am and the prelude to king push are his best projects due the variety of instrumentals and the expansion of his content like with 40 acres and M.P.A. This album was not worth a 4 year wait IMO sadly. I still think he is an amazing artist, but I don’t think I will be searching for his content after this project.
Rap album of the year for me!
Fun fact:
Pusha address Drake “Middlemen” bars on his song with Jack Harlow on Just so you remember when he raps “She just spent a million on finishes, millions were made out of middlemen, the hole in the attic was not just for a ceiling fan”
I doubt that haha. Unless he heard the leak a long time ago (and idk if the verse even existed then), he wouldn't have had time to record a new verse. Some albums (like Donda/Donda 2) are worked on right up until they release, but the way Pusha was promoting this, it's clear that the whole thing had been done for a little while before he dropped it.
Rock n Roll is literaly the best song, what a take
60k 1st week prediction
That’s a lot! I’m thinking 40k
imma go with 50k
numbers jus came in on pace to sell 55k i wasnt off by much💯
For this kinda music it's perfect too creative for me judge harshly
