[@PLs379]

He seems like such a kindhearted and peaceful man just by watching this video...but then you remember he absolutely slaughtered Drake with Story of Adidon

[@danieljones6389]

[@noozle3884]

Pusha T sounds so hard and cold in his songs, seeing an interview of his for the first time though he honestly seems like a very nice and chill guy.

[@ThatHRGuyE]

Yeah there seems like there's no malice in his heart, he's an approachable dude. ☺️ (See what I did there)

[@GG-lr3gv]

Lol Vanity Fair just stole Genius' business. This would have been a poppin' opportunity for Genius as a show.

[@dismyshitv9059]

Aaron D genius picks a lot of trash a lot though. i love mumble rap and soundcloud rap, but they are picking the wrong artists for lyric breakdowns a lot. id like to see more artists like pusha, maybe gza or like some griselda boys or someone who spits

[@rochen384]

CheeseLord I think if they had the opportunity to get these rappers, they would. It's not that easy. Genius just did a couple of Pusha T lyrics breakdown videos btw.

[@jacksonfitzhenry3593]

CheeseLord they are a business they want to get money 5 mumble rappers>Pusha t at least in clicks

[@christopherayettey4390]

Aaron D genius already have something similiar

[@greedygenius913]

I thought this was Genius before I scrolled down

[@milesedgeworth132]

I like how Pusha-T doesn't put on that attitude like other younger rappers. He's very professional and actually wants people to understand his music not just as a rapper but as a lyricist and a musician.

[@mariodoctor1]

Miles Edgeworth pusha t is in his 40s wtf you talking bout

[@milesedgeworth132]

joshua hardeman When did I say he wasn't 40s? Show me the part where I called him young. Go ahead.

[@BaD87KaRMa]

@Miles Edgeworth OBJECTION! 😂😂

[@callmepasta600]

Like other young rappers as in mainstream rappers? Because last time i checked mainstream rap was always trash with some exceptions.

[@flavio7180]

Why would he do what young rappers do if he’s not a young rapper?

[@dax421]

the amount of pusha t uploads lately is gonna have drake avoiding vanity fair like he’s been avoiding adonis

[@ninety_three_93]

[@spaceepandaa]

I'm surprised he didn't mention that when the line was def a reference to them

DAYTONA Album Of the year

[@jordanb3120]

[@prod.byesco6087]

Ye Daytona kids see ghosts and KOD are the best of the year

[@andreleverettejr3747]

And Drake talking bout he Upset *laughing* still hasn't shown what he's like when he's angry because he got bodied before he could

[@yopierre2048]

Daytona’s better than KOD

[@nomansland5113]

He is not the rapper we deserve, but the rapper we need 🙏

[@fishhead90]

“You can’t really top off a mai tai” must be the best line I’ve ever heard in my entire life 🤣🤣. I come back to this interview sporadically just to hear him say it. Priceless

[@hlokomani]

"It's off now"😂😂

[@tf5302]

This video was dope, this needs to be a series, bring more rappers to read interpretations!

[@TheDeadb3ar]

PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES

[@viscount0405]

I loved this vid, it really shows you how some peeps really put tremendous effort and produce excellent bars. Push will go down a legend

[@jrueskixo]

Well done with this series VF.

[@icantbelieveitsnotbutter8851]

When people start calling you Pusha Thanos, you been recognize and might even be in people top 10.

[@345stewma]

Did you really have to play those wack beats over these legendary rhymes

[@hlokomani]

345stewma the producer probably crying rn😂😂😂

[@danielhorton3490]

Kanye in shambles

[@presleychan3625]

Facts if they were gonna throw a beat on there use the original. If they can't due to copyright then just don't have one at all

[@rochen384]

Awesome video idea! Do more of these!

[@nameispush]

This was a really great video

[@dangermauz754]

Much love to Vanity Fair for showcasing real hip hop!! Fashion and music is the greatest love thing! Both compliments each other so well!!

[@sorethumbs379]

It’s so dope how he sounds exactly like each song whenever he spits the bars.... very versatile

[@dangermauz754]

It's great to see people still appreciate lyricism. PUUUSSSSHHH!!!

[@maad1670]

You could make a whole multipart series for Push's lyrics

[@Djhiphop1000000000]

Pusha is one of those rappers I can listen to with no beat and it won’t be awkward.

[@galshalev2931]

He does this sweet person, with this sweet voice and personality, makes such savage songs is beyond me! Love king push!! ❤❤❤

[@toagentking6521]

Much respect to the brother Pusha T.

[@krow8940]

DAYTONA is the best album of 2018‼️

[@freyrik]

Nice headband bro, first time understanding his runaway verse. I wish ye would release Pusha-T's lost verses on Runaway. He wrote a verse on every track legends say...

[@franksampedro5731]

Best episode of this series. A true artist.

[@jaykowsh1027]

Ask him what he meant by "I'm lovin it"

[@dangermauz754]

Jay Kowsh he's probably talking about when he wrote that McDonald's jingle.

[@Byerly92]

why are the background beats so gooood?! they match the lyrics (for Runaways actually better than the original imho)

[@Murmurrr]

The animation for the lyrics are pretty dope. Can't really read them but it looks cool
