Fun Fact: 88 Keys had been sitting on this beat for 18 years. He made that joint around the time of college dropout. Which is probably why it feels like the bass is missing by today's standards.
Nahh they miss then entendre of the IMAGINARY PLAYERS bar the price on the jersey besides the intended bar in the video imaginary players first dude daps Jay z is wearing a jersey and let’s say that price for coke we bossing up like ghost from power also the Benz to a ghost was also ghost street life dealer to a distro boss
@@slosarek12 oh well yea I just meant they get an A tho the plus if they caught the entendres but pusha is heavy nyc influence so maybe that’s why I caught more on the first listen I was just shocked he didn’t catch that and he LOVES JAY Z I was like daaaaamn really bruh lol it was tight there
He said "crack era was such a black era , how many still standing reflecting in that mirror lucky me" hes talking about everyone that was affected from that era specifically blacks and the people who survived it , meaning those who sold crack and also the users , lucky me !! Thank god im still here.. U know how many cant say that??
@@MrMEGSWONETWOTHREE imo that almost makes him better.. to be able to be THIS poetic with coke rap for THIS long and yet its still new and exciting every time is almost more impressive than rapping about other shit
I couldn’t agree more he’s a top 5 active MC....he’s managed to do in hip hop what very few are able to do & that’s to maintain longevity ...Push has been around for a minute & he’s always done dope shit at a high level....this track & “Dreaming of the Past” & “My God” are 2 more gems & he’s pretty impressive live too which a lot of rappers are not
@@chadphelps5809 Had to 😆 🤣 😂 at "boringness of boom bap"!?!?!? Wtf does that mean?? Are you saying that "today's" Hip-Hop over repetitive beats that all sound the same with wack-ass (so-called) lyrics is better? If so, foh 😒
that bar about "work(ers) is compensated, so they don't strike" is one of the slickest entendres. Pusha Thanos don't miss when it comes to this subject matter.
This is definitely what I want to hear, both from Pusha-T as well as rap in general. It doesn't have to be coke-rap, but it has to have the realism and that hardcore beat.
"Don't change like the chain you tuck" may be the fake gold chains that turn green, and "Missy was our only misdemeanor" is also the only shit they're out there doing is felonies, they don't bother with small charge moves. "This might be the most Pusha T song that Pusha T has ever made" makes perfect sense, this is pinnacle King Push.
Friends come and go Good friends stay with u no matter what The fake ones claim they love u and disappear when u need them Real ones stay through the good n bad
Shout-out to Missy. Loved the reference. For those that grew up with her music or were listening back then, y'all know she went by Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott. Both names. 😁
I feel like the "how many from that era still reflecting in that mirror" line was a triple entendre coz he could've also been referencing how many or few are still alive to even see themselves in the mirror since, dead men don't have a reflection
Am Kenyan and I never miss any of your videos, trust me.. you listening vibes on another level. Can't wait to have one of my hip-hop songs on your menu🇰🇪
I like the fact that the beat has no bass to it. Sometimes having bass drowns out all of the other elements of the song.I think the beat is perfect the way it is.
Leaving a comment for the algorthm been rocking with u guys since Russel Westbrook on a farm by LIL D, keep up the good work guys salute and love for yall.
Pusha is a legend he can't do wrong in my eyes, every once in a while I go back to that Joe Budden episode and watch it again. That was peak podcast/hip hop for me
10:22 biggie flow … yes it was, I picked up on that too. I was thinking that’s how biggie would rhyme … that must have been deliberate because push has mentioned before he’s come up with bars with an approach of thinking what would biggie say
best reaction channel out there... idk if you guys ever read my comment years ago but i discovered you guys through bill burr... idk if you ever knew he shouted you guys out lol
Mainstream?? Pusha ain’t been mainstream for a long time. Only reason his last album got the attention it did is cause he started a beef with Drake and won the battle. The albums before then got no buzz even under good music. On top of that he still talking about drug dealing . This man ain’t allegedly dealt drugs in over 20 years… man hasn’t evolved at all… at least he got a following.. he is nice though
@@youngboy2140 lol ima drake fan but we ain’t gonna talk about him right now. All pusha albums been talked about. King push was fire. So was his mixtapes and features. Yeah he’s not selling 100k first week but how many rappers actually doing that in the streaming era. He sells enough to be considered mainstream. And he has classics since his clipse days. He talks about coke but in a poetic way that it would never get old hearing it
@@KappaJones how I sound like I got personal issues?? I’m not lying.. he has not been a mainstream artist out side of his group days. He dropped plenty of work that wasn’t marketed mainstream. Hip hop heads knew it and always came out and said pusha albums were being slept on. He didn’t get back into mainstream until he started beef with Drake.. that’s facts. All he talks about is drugs.. that’s facts. Where am I having a personal issue at??
@@rahtaylor7651 I didn’t get deep into the Drake thing.. I just said facts.. you said all his albums were talked about but that’s a lie. Hell if we wanna keep it tall, he always sent shots at cash money right when he was dropping an album.. it got to a point where the world picked a side and was like nah G you bitter and didn’t listen to his albums. Hip hop heads always said he was fire and said his albums were slept on. He back into mainstream from dissing Drake and winning. His last album got him the respect he deserved. This will probably be the first time he drop an album without sending shots at somebody from cash money/young money or Drake…. The irony of it all…lol
“The ones you trust gonna change like the chains you tuck” I understand that in this way; some close ones be fake so they change, show you different colors at some point, just like fake chains change colors when you always tuck them because of your sweat touching it. 🤯🤯🤯
*"How many still standing and reflecting on that mirror"* Most cases, dope fiends snort coke off of mirrors or shiny surfaces inadvertently see reflections of themselves
The reason why it didn't pop for you at first is because of Pusha T. The beats only starts to pop when Pusha T raps...That is the magic that happens when Pusha and Kanye get together...The beat won't work unless you have tight lyrics.
That's so funny that it said that about wanting to put your hoodie up! I listened to this and had my hoodie up covering one eye placing a huge 1/8 spliff. Listed tonite about 15 times in a row yo!!!
Well done guys! That was a classic review, well detailed. I'd like to see you guys react to Black Thought's song titled "Streets" the lyricism in that song is beyond comprehension.
A very wise discussion on coke rap song by the legendary and to be feared Pusha T, master of words and flow... Nice video. Much love, subbed. Also the bass is sufficient calm thyselves, the beat is literally perfect and bounces around nice. Pusha def lifts it up though, gives it fire. Raw emotion, raw coke I guess?? Pusha T does have incredible luck too, come on... Anyways he's dark I love it. bye.
Wanted you both to see the original version since it came out cause I know you will get to listen to 5 uk artists at once, cause I know you’d have a lot of other types of genres to listen to

101%
8:45 'My workers compensated so they don't strike" is also a double entendre. His enemies don't strike cause they know he's protected.
Or they Dont snitch because they paid well
He's talking about Wayne going on strike about Baby owing him money.
@@dalejackson8574 that would make the bar a triple
You see this flow
To me it means that they don’t get a strike as in jail time … it’s how he said it as well
Pusha talking about coke will never get old
NEVER.
It’s old now…
@@youngboy2140 I think most people will disagree
@@Mark-bf7cj Look at his other replies lol it will make sense he says this.
Man has been making poems and romanticized ways of slinging coke in too many new ways.
Also that "how many reflecting in that mirror" is a reference to doing cocaine(snorted off of mirrors) Crazy line
Oh shit...
Glad you caught that 🤝
@@brooklynmedina7676 he's actually saying he's making more money out of cats reflecting in the mirror, hence "Lucky me"

@@cxyj4y listen to this in a car with alot of bass, you'll find yourself not needing one. Trust me.
Expecting a contender for AOTY from Push.
Can’t go wrong with this production and content.
Push is hella good but i don't think it'll happen
@@betaplay2914 You’ve heard Daytona right?🤣 Based on his last piece of work I don’t expect anything less from him.

Kings Disease III (AOTY)
@@chessverse6279 mid
The beat is vintage. It's 18years old 🔥🔥🔥😂 no base just str8 old crispy boombap
To this beat is perfact guys. That baseline they have underneath is perfact cause it doesn't over power the sample
You get it!
that bar about "work(ers) is compensated, so they don't strike" is one of the slickest entendres. Pusha Thanos don't miss when it comes to this subject matter.
Black era might also be a play on words to mean "a black error". As in an error by the black community back then. Crazy line 🔥🔥
Damn i aint even think of that,, see thats the beauty about lyrics!!! Good look yo!!!
It was more a set up than an error imo
This is definitely what I want to hear, both from Pusha-T as well as rap in general. It doesn't have to be coke-rap, but it has to have the realism and that hardcore beat.
Absolutely
But pusha don’t sell Coke so uhhhh???
@@MrMEGSWONETWOTHREE malice said they were wild back in the day .. who knows
Hands down, it is Scorsese with the mob movies and Pusha with the dope rap

Wait missy was our only misdemeanor is not a Missy Misdemeanor elliot refrence?
@MortanAMrk its a Missy reference too, he got a double in.
COULDN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER
Loving the return of the consistent rap breakdowns and reactions again!
i've always said it that Kanye is almost untouchable as a producer
This beat was mainly produced by 88 Keys though
YOU CAN REMOVE THE WORD ALMOST LOL
Shout-out to Missy. Loved the reference. For those that grew up with her music or were listening back then, y'all know she went by Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott. Both names. 😁
Also They each From VA, and Push Never Went To Jail Lol.. Missy Was Their only Misdemeanor
My flow is untouched is also a nod to his song Untouchable where he sampled Biggie in the hook
I feel like the "how many from that era still reflecting in that mirror" line was a triple entendre coz he could've also been referencing how many or few are still alive to even see themselves in the mirror since, dead men don't have a reflection
Oh shit....
💯
Facts bruh
Pusha Thanos in his bag once again
This song has instant classic vibes
Gotta agree
That beat is such magic & Pusha killed it
Pusha B.I.G. was flowing like big for damn near the whole second Clipse album he always channels a big cadence
There's a video on RUclips where 88 keys says he made this beat 18 years ago. That's crazy, imagine holding onto this heat for nearly 2 decades.
Thankyou I'm glad you guys are doing this reaction!!! Haven't seen yall in a minute. King Push
Am Kenyan and I never miss any of your videos, trust me.. you listening vibes on another level. Can't wait to have one of my hip-hop songs on your menu🇰🇪

The music video they did to this was a nod to Craig Mack Flava in Ya Ear. Kanye doing the diddy bop too
I like the fact that the beat has no bass to it. Sometimes having bass drowns out all of the other elements of the song.I think the beat is perfect the way it is.
You guys are for real the best at what you do fr. Bar breakdowns, enthusiasm…
The beat is so hard ...it hit george like when he was about to say something 😂
This Beat and Pushas Flow are just amazing
The same thing I said about the beat. I was really waiting for the drop man, but it was fire none the less
Leaving a comment for the algorthm been rocking with u guys since Russel Westbrook on a farm by LIL D, keep up the good work guys salute and love for yall.
it's gon' be a 5-way battle between Kendrick vs Kanye vs Pusha vs Denzel vs JID for the Rap AOTY 2022! 🔥
dont forget saba
@@user-fs7zm6zc7s that album really dense & good!
"Young Gs like Jove and Puff" I'm pretty sure is a reference to a song Diddy made back on the day with Jay-Z and Biggy called Young Gs.

Pusha T favourite rapper is Biggie
@@blackroyal4546 nah its Kane
@@michaelgundersen2982 he did say that his whole flow is based off bigge though
Yup that biggie flow was on purpose also the “young g’s like big and puff” was a nod to the song young g’s lmao

Love how y'all breakdown the bars like that man. I always leave your reactions with a broader perspective of the lyrics.
Great reaction guys.
Talkin to da streets wit this one! Pusha is always 💯💯🔥🔥
Definitely sounds like mid 2000s Kanye production
Except it’s mid-2000s 88’ production 🙃
I love your lyrical breakdowns, best I seen on RUclips. Just subscribed!
The beat is from 2004, according to 88keys, so it definitely needed more of a modern update. I believe Kanye only added in the chops and scratches.
I did the scratches… back then
@@eighty_ocho which part did Kanye do?
Kanye added the fat Joe sample as well
Would love an EAZY reaction, great breakdown as per keep it up guys 🙌🏾
The biggie flow 100%. Pusha did a Mase flow on let me love you as well.

Y'all breakdown is fire. I fuh wit y'all.
the piano play is so beautiful, i believe that is what Ye wanted us to hear and focus on. more bass and drums would take away from it. 🎶🎼🎵
Y'all still at it. Thought about y'all when I heard the album. Crazy thing is last time I watched was when you did the Addidon reaction
In regards to your desire for some drums and bass…’The flow’s untouched, the drums is tucked’
“The ones you trust gonna change like the chains you tuck”
I understand that in this way; some close ones be fake so they change, show you different colors at some point, just like fake chains change colors when you always tuck them because of your sweat touching it. 🤯🤯🤯
Loved how they picked up that Biggie flow. That’s confirmed by the video tribute.
Definitely a nod to biggie there was thinking the same thing!
I knew you'd kill this reaction ...Love it!
I listened to this so many times already!
This makes u get on some street sh*t, get in the whip and roll out!
Like how you caught that Biggisk flow. I can hear shine saying that verse as well. 🤣
I was waiting for this one 🔥🔥🔥
*"How many still standing and reflecting on that mirror"*

I agree no big beat drop on the track but this is only an appetizer of what's to come.
Lyrical mastery as always from King Push
Starring to think y’all only rock with Benny from Griselda. Still waiting for any Conway reaction
“Detroit nigga challenge..what’s ya dope like?” I took that as a BMF reference
Dudes this is hard-core hiphop.
I told Pusha no bouncin!
finally , ive been waiting on you to react to this
Well done guys! That was a classic review, well detailed. I'd like to see you guys react to Black Thought's song titled "Streets" the lyricism in that song is beyond comprehension.
Best reaction! Love the vibe yall bring gets me amp!
Been waiting for this one guys!
this song harddd best channel
The reaction I've been waiting for🙌🙌🙌🙌
