Drake speaks on His Part in Lil Wayne vs. Jay-Z feud and being dissed by Pusha T
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
In the days before Tha Carter IV was released, fans were floored by "It's Good." The track features Jadakiss and Drake rapping tough-guy lyrics. After their verses, Lil Wayne closes the song. His verse contains disses aimed at Jay-Z in response to his "baby money" diss aimed at Birdman on "H.A.M."
During his interview with Funkmaster Flex, Drake discussed the song, in-depth. Previously, Drake stated he had no parts in the diss on Jay-Z. But, with Flex, Drake admitted he heard the song before it leaked. However, he said all he did was rap his verse over the beat and then Lil Wayne did his verse.
Drake went on to say he is a soldier for Lil Wayne and respects his comments about him. Speaking on the "It's Good track," he said Lil Wayne did what he had to do. Still, Drake said he has nothing but love and respect for Jay-Z. Drake discussed how "H.A.M." was directed at Birdman, and credited Jay-Z as his mentor and Wayne as his brother, separating himself from the situation.
There is a potential situation between Drake and Pusha T. Recently, Pusha T mentioned Drake on his new track, "Don't Fuck with Me." Many feel Pusha T dissed Drake on the song. After listening to the song, several times, Drake said he could not find the diss. Because he has never met Pusha T, Drake said if he did diss him, it is an internal problem with Pusha and not his problem. Drake went on to say he is a fan of The Clipse and said if Pusha T was calling him out, he should make it more direct next time.
While Drake says he is up for whatever, he was not offended by the track. Read more...

Consequence done feuding with Kanye West, but not Q-Tip
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Former G.O.O.D. Music artist, Consequence, has been in battle mode for a year now. Last year, Pusha T signed to G.O.O.D. Music and immediately Consequence accused him of stealing his verse. Pusha T tired to laugh off the disses from Consequence, as he was also taking shots at Kanye West.
After leaving G.O.O.D. Music, Consequence turned things up to another level. Consequence also began taking shots at Q-Tip, his cousin who helped him enter the game. However, the bulk of his disses were aimed at Kanye West and Pusha T. This summer, Pusha T finally had enough and dissed Consequence, with West's permission.
Pusha T stated he hoped Consequence and Kanye West could have found common ground before he went after him. While the diss record is out and will continue to be out, Consequence announced he is no longer feuding with Kanye West. Consequence said the two rappers sat down and discussed their issues, which led to a resolution. Despite making peace with Kanye West, Consequence said he is far from done with his cousin, Q-Tip.
During his emailing session with Kanye West, Consequence said West asked him if he had settled things with his cousin, which he had not. However, Consequence said he heard Q-Tip had told a couple of hip hop sites he wanted to talk with Consequence. This is not good enough for Cons, as he would like for Q-Tip to get up with him, personally, since they are related. Consequence said Q-Tip is so out of character, he could never see the relationship repairing, or them being as close as they were. Read more...

Pusha T signs with Def Jam
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Last summer, Pusha T announced he was going to focus more on his solo ventures. For eight years, the public had known him as one half of the brotherly duo, The Clipse. Pusha T knew this and was focused on building his own name. With this, he signed with G.O.O.D. Music, the label owned by Kanye West.
With G.O.O.D., Pusha T dominated the mixtape scene. He was even able to record with Kanye West. Pusha T appeared on two tracks from West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kanye West even chose Pusha T over Consequence in their battle. This decision still has Consequence shook.
This summer, Kanye West signed a new deal with Def Jam. For his entire career, Kanye West has been signed to Def Jam. He has also been the head of the G.O.O.D. label for this period of time. The artists signed to the label have been spread across different distribution deals. However, Kanye West re-signed his own deal with Def Jam and he added G.O.O.D. Music to the deal.
Despite Kanye West already moving G.O.O.D. Music under the Def Jam umbrella, Pusha T, a signed artist to G.O.O.D., has signed a solo deal with the label. Now, Pusha T is a G.O.O.D./Def Jam artist in its truest form. Before the end of 2012, he plans to release his long-awaited solo debut album. Read more...

Consequence's Twitter page hacked
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Over the past few months, Consequence has been firing off multiple shots at his former team, G.O.O.D. Music. Consequence was among the first artists signed to the label. Despite having much exposure, early in his run with the label, he was quickly backburnered.
Last year, Pusha T signed with G.O.O.D. Music and he was quickly a part of Kanye West's comeback album. Along with his mixtape appearances, Consequence soon called him out. Pusha T did his best to ignore his digs until he could not any longer.
With their feud coming to a head last week, Consequence appeared to apologize on Twitter. The rapper supposedly tweeted that he was apologetic about getting into a feud with Kanye West and Pusha T. Recently, Consequence has come forward to speak about this, saying it is unlike him to offer a Twitter apology.
Also, Consequence made it clear he had no intentions of ending the feud. He called the hacking "weakshit" and went on to say his rivals had "weak raps, weak moves, and weak niggas." Read more...

Pusha T breaks silence on Consequence
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Long before Pusha T signed with G.O.O.D. Music, one of the up-and-coming stars was Consequence. Hailing from New York, he was affiliated with Q-Tip, among others. His debut album, Don't Quit Your Day Job! was released to rave reviews.
However, when Consequence was ready to prepare his second album, he ran into problems. His second album was met with many delays. Postponed from 2008 to 2010, soon he found himself backburnered for other G.O.O.D. artists. Among those artists was 2010 signee, Pusha T.
Consequence has accused Pusha T of stealing his lyrics several times. Each time Cons called him out, Pusha T did his best to play the disses off. However, the latest diss was a little too much for the Virginia rapper. Consequence questioned his rhymes of cocaine dealing, among other things and it was a little too much for Pusha T.
Pusha T said he tried to stay out of the feud because of the history between Consequence and Kanye West, but he could no longer hold his silence. Initially, he thought Consequence's issues would blow over and they could all be on the same team. But, with each Cons diss more scathing than the last, Pusha T decided it was time to defend himself. Feeling disrespected by the Queens, New York rapper, Pusha T said nobody was even checking for Consequence.
While Consequence continues to diss both Pusha T and Kanye West, Pusha T said Kanye has never mentioned the beef to him and they have never talked about it. Read more...

Pusha T talks "Fear of God" EP and Debut Album
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
When he released the Fear of God mixtape, Pusha T was met with critical acclaim. Already signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, Pusha T released his mixtape in front of a large crowd. The quality of the mixtape was so good, many compared the release to an album.
Following the release of the mixtape, Pusha T announced he would release an EP to come before his debut album. Pusha T decided the mixtape would follow the Fear of God theme. The new EP is titled Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray.
Pusha T said the EP will feature appearances from 50 Cent, Tyler, the Creator, Diddy, Kanye West, Pharrell, and others. The new EP will be released on August 23, 2011. Pusha T's mixtape release coincides with Game's release of The R.E.D. Album.
While Pusha T has done well with his underground releases, the big goal is his debut album. Pusha T said he is recording his album in sections. Kanye West is handling most of the production work, but Pusha T has had to wait, due to the recording of Watch the Throne. For his upcoming debut album, Pusha T said the focus of his album will be lyricism.
Pusha T said the information on the album will be top secret. However, Pusha T announced a collaboration would take place between he and Kanye West. Now, with a new deal with Def Jam, Pusha T will release his debut album on Black Friday. Read more...

Consequence disses Pusha T on "The Plagurist Society," says Kanye West is Next
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
The early days of G.O.O.D. Music were headlined by releases from the likes of Common, John Legend, and Consequence. Kanye West made a name for himself as the most-unique rapper in the game. His record label was a roster full of misfits, which is what made them successful.
Kanye West became more focused on G.O.O.D. Music when his longtime label, Roc-A-Fella Records, folded. West began searching for additional talent and developing them. Among the new artists signed during this period was Big Sean. Last summer, Pusha T was also added to the roster.
The addition of Pusha T is what would push Consequence over the edge. Cons made it clear he had issues with Pusha T, despite Pusha having no issues with him. Acknowledging their past friendship, Consequence said his lyrics were stolen by Pusha T. Despite the accusations, Pusha T denied them and said he and Cons were still friends. This led to Consequence announcing his departure from G.O.O.D. Music and Kanye West denying it.
Consequence said he was going to lead a lyrical assault against G.O.O.D. Music. Yesterday, the first diss record, "The Plagurist Society" was released. In the song, he questions Pusha T's cocaine dealer lines and rapped of his background in New York City. Towards the end of the song, Consequence announced he was going after Kanye West on the next diss record. Read more...

Pusha T speaks on Moving to Def Jam
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Last summer, Kanye West made a major move when he signed veteran rapper, Pusha T, to G.O.O.D. Music. As a member of the popular duo, The Clipse, Pusha T had been making hits since the summer of 2002. But, the recent years had been very hard on the brothers.
While still a member of The Clipse, Pusha T was focused on solidifying himself as a solo artist. Already having a working relationship with Kanye West, Pusha T felt the best option was to sign with his label. However, signing with G.O.O.D. Music does not necessarily mean signing to a major label.
G.O.O.D. Music has distribution deals with Universal Records, Def Jam, Geffen, Sony, and many other labels. Earlier this week, Kanye West decided to organize things. Having spent his entire career recording with Def Jam, Kanye West decided to bring his label home. He entered an exclusive distribution deal with Def Jam, since he and Big Sean were already signed there.
Now a member of Def Jam, Pusha T spoke on the new deal. Pusha T said he feels as if there will be nothing but success, now that G.O.O.D. Music is under Def Jam. For years, the label was successful, without even having a secured distribution deal. With everything organized and all of the artists using the same channel of distribution, Pusha T feels as if they will fit well with the Def Jam machine. Kanye West has been among the biggest artists on Def Jam since the departure of Jay-Z.
With G.O.O.D. Music now under Def Jam, the label will likely receive much of Def Jam's attention the same way Roc-A-Fella Records did during its heyday. Read more...

Pusha T discusses G.O.O.D. Music debut and Kanye West relationship
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Pusha T has officially separated himself from Malice and The Clipse, establishing himself as a solo artist. Earlier this year, he released his solo mixtape, Fear of God. Much like recent mixtapes, the release was received as if it was an album.
Last year, Kanye West pulled off a major signing when he was able to get Pusha T to sign to G.O.O.D. Music. Obviously, the deal paid off, given his performance on West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.
On his debut album, Pusha T will be working very closely with West, who will also serve as an executive producer on the album. Because of West's tendency to be a fan, the album has an unusual twist. The album is said to show a different side of Pusha T.
While working on this album, Pusha T and Kanye West's friendship has deepened and it has helped them in the process. Read more...
