(CelebNMusic247-News) Pusha T “My Name Is My Name” Album Best of 2013
If we had to sound off the top 5 hip hop albums for 2013 Pusha T’s “My Name Is My Name” album would be at the top of the list.
Pusha T is at the top of his game with his “My Name Is My Name” album and hopefully will be noticed when award season rolls around. The album is lyrical skill at its best keeping true to hip hop culture and what it stands for. There is NO fluff to this album, it’s true raw grit at its best. Pusha spits his blood sweat and years of hard work on wax.
Not only have we dubbed this one of our top hip hop albums for 2013, Rolling Stones and SPIN have announced his “My Name Is My Name” on their “50 Best Albums of 2013?!
It’s stunning and a bit unbelievable that the coldest former Clipse took this long to make a solo album — Pusha’s mixtapes and guest verses had abounded since his acclaimed group dropped Til the Casket Drops in 2009, and he’d become so stalwart and reliable a rapper that you half-expected him to just show up on G.O.O.D. Music collabo tracks for the rest of his life and call it a day. But My Name Is My Name rose up from the cut and displayed the white-hot fire of yore, the reason Clipse fans practically bashed in Jive’s front door with a log, Gaston-style, when the label notoriously withheld 2006?s Hell Hath No Fury. Never you damn mind that the production-and-features roster is a best-of-the-decade celebration (Kanye! Future! 2 Chainz! HudMo! Kendrick! Jeezy! Your mom!). Push is in fighting form, incorporating a mature point of view on his drug-dealer past while rapping with the confidence of a man who knows the game is his to lose. “Gem Star razor and a dinner plate / Arm & Hammer and a Mason jar, that’s my dinner date,” he raps on “Nosetalgia.” “Then crack the window in the kitchen and let it ventilate / Cause I let it sizzle on the stove like a minute-steak.” Pusha T, putting the “eughk” back in conscious rap. – SPIN
