Pusha T’s Response Diss Track To Jim Jones Surfaces, But It’s A.I.-Generated

by

The Pusha T and Jim Jones beef is shaping up to be one of the most high-profile and interesting of the year so far. Moreover, that’s because there isn’t really a beef at all, and is instead more of a battle of skill, relevance, and artistry that’s based purely on wax. Still, a lot of that potential hasn’t yet seen the light of day, as the Clipse member still hasn’t responded on wax to Jones’ diss track. Apparently, fans got a little too desperate for it, and one tech whiz in particular took matters into their own hands. Furthermore, an A.I.-generated response track to the Dipset MC surfaced online, and a lot of fans didn’t realize it was fake.

Even though this isn’t Pusha T’s actual response, there are still some fiery digs at Jim Jones throughout. “This s**t is an easy kill, n***as 40 plus twisting they fingers still,” the fake Push raps. “Duck the RICO, we know that n***a squealed, FBI agent with a damn record deal. Red flag waving, banging, boy chill.” Sure, the voice on this record sounds pretty similar, but it’s also relatively easy to distinguish when compared to some other A.I. models of artists.

A.I.-Generated Response To Jim Jones From “Pusha T”

“Jimmy hiding something he got his record sealed, 6ix9ine ain’t the only one working the field,” the Pusha T-impersonating model continues. “We heard them phone taps, you Nicki Barnes, for real, stick to reality TV before I become your new damn Mandeecees. You got drip but your cornrows stay peezy, you hated on French and did Max B greasy.” What’s more is that this fake diss track even mentions Jim Jones as the rapper after Drake that Push will put in a grave.

For those unaware, this all started when Jones responded to Billboard‘s top 50 rappers list and disagreed with Push being on there. After he threw some subliminal disses on an unreleased Clipse song previewed at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton fashion show, the New York rapper responded with a full diss. Hopefully this fake response didn’t divert the Virginia native from his path in this beef, regardless of which path he chose. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Pusha T and Jim Jones.

Jim Jones Responds To Pusha T Diss On New Song “Summer Collection”

by

The beef between Pusha T and Jim Jones just kicked into full gear with its first official diss track. Sure, there was Push’s original shots, but those were more like obvious subliminals given the context than anything else. Now, the Dipset member released “Summer Collection” in response for a “From The Block Performance.” In it, he uses the exact same beat that the Virginia native used in his teased disses towards the New York MC on an unreleased Clipse collab with No Malice. Not only that, but he responds to a few of the points that Pusha made on those bars, and comes through with some more aggressive material.

For example, there’s him urging Pusha T to not doubt his VVS diamonds, and him not caring about any of the former G.O.O.D. Music president’s luxury purchases or flamboyant style. Also, he trashed his artistry is catalog, referencing his album My Name Is My Name but saying “we ain’t screaming that.” Another example of that was Jim Jones stating that Push is only a “gorilla” because of all the “apes” that he features on his albums. He didn’t really clarify whether he depends on his features or picks small names, but either way works, right?

Jim Jones’ Diss Track Towards Pusha T

However, perhaps the nail in the coffin out of all of his bars were instead directed at his brother No Malice. Furthermore, Jones said that he’s not looking too good right now, and that he shouldn’t bother with a Clipse reunion. Considering how deep Pusha T went at Drake after the latter mentioned the former’s fiancée, this can’t spell out good news for the 46-year-old. Regardless, let us know what you think about this diss (which you can find on YouTube) and how it compares to Push’s in the comments. Read some standout bars below and stick around on HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Quotable Lyrics
The only beef you know, n***a, is Arby’s or the Big Mac
We don’t drive through, we drive by in the car with the big MAC
The last s**t you dropped, that s**t was garbage, take that s**t back
Plus you got your brother rappin’, what you tryna bring the Clipse back?
Talk about your brother, what happened to that boy?
He’s looking like they’ve been selling crack to that boy

Jim Jones Says Pusha T Diss Was “Cute”

by

Finally, after some months of waiting, fans finally have some music to soundtrack the Pusha T and Jim Jones beef. Whether Push’s presumed diss towards the Dipset rapper was actually of hard-hitting quality is up to people’s opinion. However, one person wasn’t impressed by the Clipse track that debuted at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show, and that’s Capo himself. Moreover, he recently took to Instagram to share some thoughts after his initial response. “Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” he shared on Instagram, adding in his Story: “Let me know when they really ready.”

“Lol [crying-laughing emoji] that verse did not make the list champ it was cute,” Jim Jones captioned his video. In that, he appeared unfazed while making his remarks, with the screwed-up face of someone who just saw a mediocre movie. “That was not a top 50 verse,” the Dipset member stated. “Not at all. Still not in my top 50.” For those unaware, this feud started back when Billboard released their top 50 rappers of all time list in April, and Jones took issue with Push being on there. Specifically, he said that nobody’s trying to sound like Pusha T even though he’s “nice as s**t” at rapping.

Here’s part of the Virginia native’s verse in writing so you can be the judge. “Beware of my name, that there’s delegate / You know I know where you’re delicate / Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it / I will close your heaven for the hell of it / You think it’d be valor amongst veterans / I’m watching your fame escape relevance / We all in a room but here’s the elephant / You chasing a feature out of your element / And those lab diamonds under inspection / The question marks block your blessings / It’s no tombstones in the desert / I know by now you get the message.”

Furthermore, it’s delivered in Push’s trademark menacing and mid-tempo flow. Regardless of what you think, this is the first true response (which even then is unconfirmed) that he gave. The 46-year-old isn’t walking on LV runways or dropping highly acclaimed albums like DAYTONA or features on tracks like “Palmolive.” That being said, Push didn’t respond to attacks to his influence either, and there’s no clear battle until the Back In My Prime MC drops some bars of his own. On that note, what do you think of this whole debate and of the new verse? Let us know in the comments and stick around on HNHH for more on Pusha T and Jim Jones.

Pusha T Still Cashes In Royalties For The Arby’s Commercial Theme Song

by

Pusha T’s skills as a rapper are well-documented over a 20-year career. You could talk about his solo albums, the Clipse discography with his brother Malice (now known as No Malice), his diss tracks, his features- but don’t forget his fast food contributions. Moreover, former G.O.O.D. Music executive Steven Victor explained during a recent interview how King Push still gets royalties for the song that sandwich chain Arby’s uses in all its commercials- a track with him and Yogi. Furthermore, as someone who’s worked a lot with the Virginia native, Victor labeled it as one of his best business moves.

“I think convincing Pusha to rap on Yogi’s beat, and it ended up being the theme song for Arby’s,” he stated with a smile when asked about what creative decisions he’s proudest of. “If you watch an Arby’s commercial, at the end of it, it goes, ‘Arby’s- we have the meats!’ That’s the song! They don’t even use Pusha’s part. But they have to pay him, because he owns 50 percent of the song. So, every time they want to sync the song, they have to come to us for approval.”

Steven Victor Explains Pusha T’s Arby’s Royalties

At the time of writing this article, the track “Burial” by Yogi and Pusha T soundtracks Arby’s commercials- and has done so for seven years. While it’s unclear exactly how much the 46-year-old has made as a result, we can imagine it’s quite a lot. What’s more is that he also worked with Arby’s to write and record a diss track against McDonald’s’ Filet-O-Fish. The “Spicy Fish Diss Track” sees the MC go way harder than he ever needed to for it to be good.

In fact, for those unaware, the “Diet Coke” artist has quite the history with McDonald’s, involving yet another jingle. He and his brother wrote the iconic “I’m Lovin’ It” tag in 2003 and got paid a one-time fee with no royalties. Considering that Justin Timberlake received $6 million to record it, they felt cheated out, and thus, Push waged war in the fast-food realm. Talk about a hunger for revenge.

Pusha T Seemingly Responds To Jim Jones

by

Jim Jones recently lit the rap world on fire by suggesting that Pusha T is not an all-time MC. “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time?” he asked on the RapCaviar Podcast. “Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself. He could rap his ass off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him, Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. I don’t know too many n***as in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”

Now, it seems like the “Nosetalgia” MC might have responded in a post thanking Jerry Lorenzo for including him in his Fear Of God show. Furthermore, people came to that conclusion thanks to the boastful caption included- plus the inevitable context of the Dipset MC’s words in everyone’s minds. “Places they’ll never be, stages they’ll never see…” the Virginia Beach native wrote on his post. Of course, this could mean anything, and knowing that Push is one to directly address detractors, it’s probably not a pointed comment like many believe. Still, fans can only dream.

Pusha T May Have Clapped Back At Jim Jones

In addition, Jim Jones recently doubled down on his take on The Breakfast Club, asking the radio staff some questions to prove his point. “Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No, could you rap to five Pusha T records? Could you rap five [Jay-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n***as gonna say Jim went way wildin.

“Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul,” Jim Jones continued. “You my dawg, you not in my top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life. I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n***as wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.” Regardless of whether Push really responded or not, return to HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Jim Jones Doubles Down On Pusha T Criticism

by

Jim Jones is not giving up on his dismissal of Pusha T as a top 50 rapper of all time, now taking his criticism to the radio. Moreover, the Dipset member popped by The Breakfast Club on Friday (April 21) and doubled down on his takedown of the Clipse MC’s place in the culture. Not only that, but he asked various members of the radio show whether they could name or rap along to five Push records. It seemed like Charlamagne Tha God was the only one able to do so, proving Capo’s somewhat narrowly framed point. Regardless, he went on to give Pusha his flowers while commenting on his cultural impact, which is key in Jones’ eyes to be an all-time spitter.

“Could you name five Pusha T records?” Jim Jones inquired to Charlamagne, who gave some highlights from his discography. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No, could you rap to five Pusha T records? Could you rap five [Jay-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n***as gonna say Jim went way wildin.’

Jim Jones Stands By His Critiques Of Pusha T On The Breakfast Club

“Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul,” Jim Jones went on. “You my dawg, you not in my top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life. I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n***as wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.” For those unaware, the debate sparked from a RapCaviar Podcast conversation discussing Billboard and VIBE‘s list of the 50 greatest MCs, specifically Pusha T’s No. 29 placement.

Elsewhere in the conversation, he also doubled down on Drake being the best rapper. Given their storied beef, it adds a bit of context to Jim’s words. In addition, he also expressed belief that Big Sean, YoungBoy, and Cam’ron should all rank higher than the Hell Hath No Fury artist. At the end of the day, though, it’s just one of many hot takes surrounding that list. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Pusha T Welcomed Fans To “Cokechella” On Festival’s First Day

by

I mean, would you expect anything less from the Cocaine Cowboy? Pusha T just wowed audiences with his set on Coachella 2023‘s first day on Friday (April 14). Not only did he welcome them to “Cokechella” via a massive sign on stage, but played a lot of his modern hits. For example, he opened with “Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes,” went to “Neck & Wrist,” “If You Know You Know,” “Mercy,” and many more. Furthermore, he donned an all-white ensemble to fit the occasion and emphatically rapped through his many quotables on albums like DAYTONA and, most recently, It’s Almost Dry. If that’s his quality standard, who knows what he could bring us next?

However, not everyone is a huge fan of King Push for some reason, which recently became a hot topic of debate. Moreover, Dipset legend Jim Jones recently appeared on the Rap Caviar podcast, where they debated Billboard and VIBE‘s list of the 50 greatest rappers of all time (Push landed at No. 29). While not everyone agreed with his take, he stood by the former G.O.O.D. Music president not deserving a spot on there.

Pusha T Makes It Snow In The Desert At Coachella

“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” Jim Jones challenged. “He’s nice as s**t. He could rap his a** off, but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody wants to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. And let’s not be evil, but we don’t talk about rap where the n***a that’s popping, the bitches wanna f**k and the n***as wanna be like. I don’t know too many n***as in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”

Regardless of your take on that assessment, if the Clipse member heard about it, he must’ve arrived at “Cokechella” with a vengeance. As far as pure hip-hop, it’s hard to think of other sets during the festival that will match that energy. That being said, amazing acts like Metro Boomin (and his high-profile guests), Doechii, Saba, and more also performed on Friday. As far as the rest of the weekend in hip-hop, we have Flo Milli, Kenny Beats, $UICIDEBOY$, GloRilla, Rae Sremmurd, Paris Texas, and many more to look forward to. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Coachella and, of course, Pusha T. Also, click the link below to see the MC’s full tracklist at “Cokechella.”

Joe Budden Reacts To Jim Jones Placing Big Sean Above Pusha T

by

Two G.O.O.D. Music affiliates are being pitted against each other in the world of hip-hop debate- and it’s not pretty. Moreover, Joe Budden recently reacted to Jim Jones saying that Big Sean deserves to be on a top 50 rappers list before Pusha T does. Not only that, but the Slaughterhouse MC turned media mogul vehemently dismissed these claims and said that the Dipset head honcho “could not be more wrong.” Wherever your take lies in that debate, you can’t deny that it’s at least a pretty contentious topic of conversation, especially considering both their careers.

“I think Jim Jones is incorrect saying that Big Sean should be ranked higher than Pusha T on a list. I am emphatically saying you could not be more wrong. And that’s where it gets disrespectful because Sean just got here in 2012. 2011, 2013? Somewhere around there. He did everything he had to do, sold a bunch of records, but now, it’s a little on the quieter side. I’m saying this respectfully. We in 2023. That’s ten years. I won’t assume [about label issues affecting Sean]. All I can say for fact is, ten years later, it’s on the quieter side of things. So y’all out there have to put a little more respect in the people that are twenty years in.” Budden’s cohosts agreed that longevity, consistency, and quality are in Push’s favor.

Joe Budden Blasts Jim Jones For Placing Big Sean Above Pusha T

Even though Big Sean might not be making the splash that he used to, don’t think that means that he’s off the map. For example, he just gave an excellent guest performance on the track “Palisades, CA” from Larry June and The Alchemist’s collaborative album. Also, his last album Detroit 2 was a significant step-up in the eyes of many fans. Ultimately, the lesson here is to put some respect on both names, especially when they typically coexisted in two very different lanes despite being in the same clique.

Meanwhile, when it comes to Pusha T… well, are you going to doubt his greatness and catalog? As a true rapper’s rapper, he earned a lot of respect from every corner of the game, from its most important progenitors to the young kids he inspired- and that then inspired him. Maybe Jim Jones is using a different metric to determine Push’s greatness, but it’s likely that the Clipse legend will get far more defense than scrutiny in this debate. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest on Jim Jones, Big Sean, Joe Budden, and Pusha T.

Pusha T Remixes “White Lines” By Melle Mel To Promote “Cocaine Bear” Movie

by

I mean, of course he did. Pusha T just announced his new song to promote the movie Cocaine Bear in theaters this week. Moreover, it’s a remix of Melle Mel’s classic 1983 single “White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It).” With that classic drum beat behind it, and those gorgeous backing vocals, Push did what he does best. “All white, all winter,” he raps. “Even snow in the summer / The high fallin’ from the sky / Are you the hunted or the hunter?” Overall, it seems like it’s going to be a pretty cheeky track, especially from the current king of coke rap.

However, there is a bit of confusing information going around about this song, at least as of writing this article. While the film’s official Instagram page says the lyric video is out now, it can’t be found on YouTube. For now, it seems that the most we have of the song is a Twitter video uploaded by Push himself. Unfortunately, though, the snippet of the song mashes up with audio and dialogue from the attached trailer. Well, at least it does contain lyrics, but they’re hardly necessary for his authoritative and clear delivery. The Virginia Beach-based MC is one of the top lyrical and artistic dogs of the moment, with impeccably smooth flows and consistent writing.

Pusha T’s Cocaine Bear Track

What’s more is that this is just a side quest for Pusha T’s upcoming main mission: his Gangsta Grillz tape with DJ Drama. Recently, he spoke glowingly of his excitement for the project and credited Tyler, the Creator with revitalizing mixtape excellence. “I just feel like to me, the Gangsta Grillz and the whole mixtape culture and scene is what I’m about. That’s the purest form of Hip Hop to me,” he told Complex. “The fact that Drama is having so much success, the fact that that’s what I love in Hip Hop, I want to merge those worlds and see what happens.” Not only that, but he apparently has a solo album in the works as well.

“I’m going to be honest with you,” the 45-year-old added. “Seeing Drama’s mixtape with Tyler and how they won a Grammy, I was like, ‘Man, mixtapes really won a Grammy.’ So I’m trying to be a part of that culture as well.” Check out the Cocaine Bear track above and stick around on HNHH for the latest greatness from Pusha T.

Pusha T & DJ Drama Announce “Gangsta Grillz” Mixtape In 2023

by

After a crazy year for hip-hop, some artists are making it clear that next year might be even better. Pusha T and DJ Drama announced that they will release a Gangsta Grillz project together in 2023. They spoke on Rap Radar’s Brian “B.Dot” Miller’s Twitter space to share the news. King Push also announced that he’s got a solo album on the way as well. As such, fans can’t wait for new music so soon after this year’s It’s Almost Dry.

We still don’t have an audio clip from the space, i.e. any proof that they said this. However, many outlets on Twitter have corroborated the clip, including Andrew Barber of Fake Shore Drive. While some fans whined that Drama’s working with an older artist and not a new face… I mean, it’s Pusha T. How could it not be great? Many are also excited about the tape’s potential features and reunions, à la Clipse on It’s Almost Dry. 

Although we’re still waiting on the 100% push from Push, it’s no wonder fans are so excited. DJ Drama worked on some of the greatest mixtapes of the 2000s with Pharrell, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and many more. What’s more is that he’s still dropping projects today. He worked with Tyler, the Creator on CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST and with Icewear Vezzo for the recent Paint The City tape. 

Meanwhile, Pusha T’s been quite busy as of late, too. Recently, his cover story with XXL gave us a lot of insight into his career movement. Moreover, he spoke on his relationship with Kanye West, an upcoming new album, and his evolved beef with Drake. Even with all that extra news surrounding him, he’s giving It’s Almost Dry its proper credit before the Grammys. As one of the best hip-hop albums of the year, which followed one of 2018’s best in Daytona, he’s bound to drop nothing but excellence.

Are you excited for King Push’s Gangsta Grillz tape with DJ Drama? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay up to date with HNHH to catch the latest album announcements, collabs, and future classics.
