Jay-Z said a line on Blue magic that's perfectly complements what you said about the war on drugs. "Blame Reagan for making me into a monster. Blame Oliver North and Iran Contra. I ran contraband that they sponsored."
Love the channel and I usually agree with everything you say, but I couldn’t disagree more about your take on “Let The Smokers Shine the Coups.” It’s definitely a highlight. And the beat isn’t underdeveloped, it’s minimal for a reason. It knocks harder than any other track. Just my opinion.
Pharrell made that beat to be Pusha’s version of Raekwon ‘Glacier’s of Ice’ those two records have the same eery sound but Glacier’s of Ice is a little darker. I don’t know how anyone could say Smokers shine the Coups is their least favorite when I think stomaching Kanye verse on Rock & Roll after Push dropped two incredible verses & stomaching everything about Scrape it off top except Pusha verse. Kanye’s two verses on this album wasn’t needed & me being from Philly isn’t enough to like Lil Uzi verse it wasn’t bad but I’m just not into Uzi. This is a classic album to me but it would have been an Illmatic Reasonable Doubt or Life after death level without those three verses because we finally got Pusha to elaborate on his life outside of music & the streets. Just my opinion I’ve been a Clipse/Pusha T fan before the braids since the Funeral so this is my honest feelings
Let The Smokers Shine The Coupes is like a swift blow torch to the face, and I love it. As someone who grew up mostly in the 2000s, this felt like a throwback to peak Neptunes production. I can see why some won’t like it but it’s easily one of my favorites
i've been watching these videos for a month now, and i'm obsessed. whenever i'm walking anywhere, or have downtime really, i'll go into the professor skye back catalogue.
Hey, Skye! Thank you for the thoughts, I really enjoyed the video. I don't know if someone else already pointed this out, but "the ankle of my sweat still elastic" is actually a very literal and visual line. He's talking about still being in shape after all the years. The ankle elastic in his sweatpants is still elastic, and not all worn down from the usage.
Dreamim Of The Past and Just So You Remember are so good (I realise that these are kinda of the more regular Pusha style, witch frankly he's the master at), some of the tracks do not hit as hard (Rock'n Roll and Scrape It Off especially, it's a constant theme in Pusha solo carreer that his best songs are the ones with him alone). Maybe hearing Prof talk about it will make me realise other things that are amazing on this project
You have easily become my favourite reviewer and probably one of my favourite youtubers in general as of recent. I love how much care you put into making your thoughts clear and how deep you dive into albums and artists. Your voice is also very calming as a side note.
Great review as always but "Let the smokers shine the coups is an amazing" song and i personally enjoy the album more than Daytona. Also loved the Tim Robinson reference.
Awesome review mate, and as always I love your tangents. With the signed vinyl I bet you have listened to Pusha's Clipse-backlog, but on the off chance you haven't heard Lord Willing - DO IT
Pharell used the same snare drum on all his productions. I am trying to discern between laziness or symbolism. BTW, this is my first video and i'm subscribing. THIS IS THE CALIBER OF ANALYSIS I LOVE
I really loved it on 1st listen which is unusual for me, the mix feels so good to the ear Suggestion for next review: Larosh by French rapper Captaine Roshi
I'm a way better everything at 42 (cook, driver, father etc) than I was at 21. I'm not sure why, in hip-hop, there's this mentality that you don't get better with age... i.e. Jay, Em, Push, Luda...
Andre 3k said it best I think. It’s called hip hop, emphasis on the “hip”. Older they get the less hip they are and with the times, so it’s just hard to stay interesting or relevant. But obviously there are outliers, Kanye, Jay, Push, etc
I was disappointed I wish the whole album was Griselda inspired like the track Dreaming of the past but there were a lot of contemporary tracks like scrape it off that should have been scraped off the project. He should not have sidelined madlib
I can't call this Griselda inspired. Kanye was doing soul samples in the 90s. Many of these beats would have fit perfectly in the late 90s/early 2000s. If anyone deserves credit for orignating it should be the RZA. He popularized soul samples damn near 30 years ago.
@@OmniaInvincit Its not that its a soul sample its the length of the sample the way it is looped and the way way they have him rap over it that is griselda inspired. Nobody looped like that 10 years ago kanye normally adds drums and chops it up way more, Kanye Normally samples exactly like J Dilla. And Primo (The one who helped develop the Griselda style) has been around before RZA.
@@OmniaInvincit and when I refer to Griselda im talking about WSG whole record company not just the Shady project. The way WSG directly raps over long vocal samples has changed the game I have directly seen everyone change after Griselda. And Kanye in particular has been a big fan of WSG and invites him to his events, and paid WSG for a song on Donda where he first cut a beat like this.
Back in the day, when the cops turned the corner, we'd stuff the baggies down our sweats. To make sure that you wouldn't drop any, you'd wear the sweats that tightened around the ankles.
“there’s a reason that kanye is kanye” i shouted YES!! when u gave the dreaming of the past beat a 10. its such an inspiring use of sampling just the beat on its own is so moving also big shout out yoko ono. what an icon!!
Hi Professor, given Pusha's position and perspective in the rap game, i assumed the "its almost dry" tittle could symbolize a well, with the current generation and style of hip-hop being akin to a lucrative gold mine, or well that is running dry, as a populations interest wains and shifts. serving as warning to those that have disrespected and profited wrongly from the artform; ala J. COLE 1984, probably a reach and im projecting my own feelings, but it could still apply. "we'll live forever, we write timeless raps" - Push
I think the first time I heard the cackle / tag was Move That Dope with Future. "REAL DOPE DEALERS FOR REAL ... AHHHHH" I think thats the same laugh lol. And it predates the Joker movie which is weird cuz Push sounds a lot like Arthur laughing.
Great review 👍 Album def is 4.5/5... I agree Daytona is damn near untouchable though, but it doesn't take away from how great the album is My only complaint is that I wished he could've done songs for his wife/child, maybe also talk about him missing his brother or the death of his parents... He missed out on that half a star to make the album a certified classic
Although I do think this album is a classic and Pusha’s solo masterpiece, a few notches above Daytona, but I love this constructive criticism. That introspective lyricism would’ve added even another dimension to the record and made it even more complete. Great points!
I try to thrown in a quote as often as possible. Not always easy without a proper script. Fortunately I basically always have a quote in my head at all times.
I think you are missing the electronic scene when it comes to album art. Yes, rap these days showcases modern artists and it's the most "rappiest" when those artists are big too. However the electronic scene has grown in tandem with visual arts in general. Electronic artists are sometimes designers themselves even and the genre is always experimenting just as it's visual artists are. The most "mainstream" examples are Autechre + Designer Republic and Aphex Twin ( duh :D ) + Paul Nicholson.
Would you ever review older albums that you haven’t heard? You’ve spoken about how, for some time, you didn’t experience any new music. I think it would be interesting to see a few reviews of albums you may have missed.
The cackle you hear is just Pusha’s new thing for this album/era we’re in. After the Drake beef, it’s really just him playing this role as “the villain” or the Joker. So it adds to this character he’s representing on IAD *you a wild man for having scrape it off a point above let the smokers… Scrape it off is easily a 3-4/10🤣 js Pharrell- 48 // Kanye(and friends)- 46
Hey Skye, dope review ! Can you react to lloyd banks last album “course of the inevitable”? It was a lyrical masterpiece and it’s his best work outside of G-Unit
This is my favorite Pusha album. I wanted to like Daytona as much as you, but I wasn't nearly as happy with the beats as on this album. I enjoy listening to this one more than Daytona.
It's almost dry is a double maybe even triple entendre....the first meaning is referring to the cocaine being so pure its still wet from being processed (not crack). The second meaning is referring to the "Game" as in the drug game being almost dry or almost done...and the third meaning is the rap game being almost dry and he is coming to breath life back into it. the tennis balls line on Daytona is about having tennis balls that you cut and placed your bundles or pack in (drugs) ....it was tactic used to to keep the work close but not on you...if the people raid the block they can't say you had drugs on you and charge you with PWID possession with intent to distribute...never keep the work and the money in the same place IYKYK
I thought the album was ok. Thats basically my sentiment of all Push's albums. Love some songs, like some and dont care for others. Never liked DAYTONA that much. Didnt care for Kanyes bars either but loved the Malice verse. Will always listen to Push's projects regardless. Thanks for your work!
I got into John Lennons records after watching get back (which I loved but that showed me how terrible jeen-yuhs really was ) . His first album I consider to be a masterpiece , so I was excited to get into the next one with imagine , the album with the meme song in it . For sure I loved the track imagine but I didn't care for much else at the time EXCEPT jealous guy . Man that track is magical , sensational . Was excited to hear it then in this album . I sent that track to kanye in his dms too
Also I listen to Yoko onos plastic ono band too cuz I found out there were two versions of that record . That second track is also sampled in danny Brown's 3 tearz track which has a kanye sample on top of the Yoko ono track .
fr I think it might have been as good as daytona if he chose to make the tape 7 songs and then kinda working with those songs in a way that makes a full coherent album
I'm surprised you are unfamiliar with a TEC (TEC-9). It's probably been in 1000s of rap tracks. The first time I remember hearing it personally was in O.G. by Ice-T: Gang bangers don't carry no switch blades. Every kid's got a TEC-9 or a hand grenade.
Kanye won just because he made dreamin of the past..lol and diet Coke, just so you remember is good too but dreamin of the past is invincible that being said open air by Pharell and brambleton were really good i Also like call my bluff beat i don't understand how people don't like it, it's way better than neck and wrist..
Very good production of course from two of the greatest to ever do it Pharrell and Kanye, but Pusha T is getting a little stale for my tastes. The album didn't really bring anything new or exciting to table besides an album composed mostly by the two ever mentioned greatest producers in the game. I do like some of his wordplay on Just So You Remember though.
You know, if you pause the video at a certain point, you can see me for a split second form the thought "Dang, I should probably mention the other guy in the Neptunes. Wait, what is his name? I should have probably written it down. Gahhhh, forget it. No one will notice!" Which is a long way to say, you are right.
@@professorskye all love professor, no offense to you but I'm tired of people pretending like that sound is because of Pharrell, Chad has just as much to do with the sound. Thanks for the dope content
In these past few months, you have without a doubt become my favorite music reviewer. Keep up the amazing work!
Very much agreed!
Hear, hear!
Jay-Z said a line on Blue magic that's perfectly complements what you said about the war on drugs.
"Blame Reagan for making me into a monster. Blame Oliver North and Iran Contra. I ran contraband that they sponsored."
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I love the American Gangster album, but I think that I need to listen to it more.
Love the channel and I usually agree with everything you say, but I couldn’t disagree more about your take on “Let The Smokers Shine the Coups.” It’s definitely a highlight. And the beat isn’t underdeveloped, it’s minimal for a reason. It knocks harder than any other track. Just my opinion.
One of the best tracks on the album tbh
It definitely knocks in the car… I turn my shit all the way up when that one comes out
I totally agree with you. My favorite song on the album!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pharrell made that beat to be Pusha’s version of Raekwon ‘Glacier’s of Ice’ those two records have the same eery sound but Glacier’s of Ice is a little darker. I don’t know how anyone could say Smokers shine the Coups is their least favorite when I think stomaching Kanye verse on Rock & Roll after Push dropped two incredible verses & stomaching everything about Scrape it off top except Pusha verse. Kanye’s two verses on this album wasn’t needed & me being from Philly isn’t enough to like Lil Uzi verse it wasn’t bad but I’m just not into Uzi. This is a classic album to me but it would have been an Illmatic Reasonable Doubt or Life after death level without those three verses because we finally got Pusha to elaborate on his life outside of music & the streets. Just my opinion I’ve been a Clipse/Pusha T fan before the braids since the Funeral so this is my honest feelings

that song sounds nothing like peak neptunes imo
Haven't heard the album yet but that song got me wild af... The beat pfffff
i've been watching these videos for a month now, and i'm obsessed. whenever i'm walking anywhere, or have downtime really, i'll go into the professor skye back catalogue.
Thanks for the comment. I do that all
the time with creators I find on UA-cam and is cool/weird to be on this side of that .
I think the cackle has to do with the character push is playing on parts of the album. He talked about it in the interviews, channeling the Joker.
Great review, I now believe this is my home for reviews.
Just became a Patreon member! I am a huge Pusha T fan and loved your review! Thank you!
thanks! Hope you enjoy it over there.
Hey, Skye! Thank you for the thoughts, I really enjoyed the video. I don't know if someone else already pointed this out, but "the ankle of my sweat still elastic" is actually a very literal and visual line.

I was very excited for this review from you! What a great album. Lots of great hip hop this year so far!
We used to slits in the tennis balls to hide drugs in them and the tennis ball still bounces
HOLY SHIIITT, you had all my thoughts on this album. I could definitely listen to you talk ALL day
You have easily become my favourite reviewer and probably one of my favourite youtubers in general as of recent. I love how much care you put into making your thoughts clear and how deep you dive into albums and artists. Your voice is also very calming as a side note.
Gonna watch every E-40 video you have now.
Awesome review and just wanted to say I fully appreciate your “I think you should leave” slicked back reference
Listening to Professor Skye review music makes me want to make music in the hope he'll review it
Great album. Pusha is definitely rising to one of my favorite rappers. Pharrell and Ye killed the production
Omg the F.D. signifier shoutout AND a I Think You Should Leave joke, what range in a vid lmao bless
Great review as always but "Let the smokers shine the coups is an amazing" song and i personally enjoy the album more than Daytona. Also loved the Tim Robinson reference.
Been waiting on this review since the day the album dropped
Professor Skye is the best, the picture of Magnitude on the Ye vs P pop off cemented him as the GOAT
Smashed the like bucket and scubscribed. Great video as always.
Thanks prof!! Love your videos as always!
I am so happy right now. Thank u professor
Labyrinth was actually a pretty big pop star in the UK around 2010/2011
Awesome review mate, and as always I love your tangents. With the signed vinyl I bet you have listened to Pusha's Clipse-backlog, but on the off chance you haven't heard Lord Willing - DO IT
You and Fantano got this reviews game on lock... 😅❤️
SKYE I love the “I Think You Should Leave” reference with no follow up explanation😂 this is slickback not pushback
Pharell used the same snare drum on all his productions. I am trying to discern between laziness or symbolism. BTW, this is my first video and i'm subscribing. THIS IS THE CALIBER OF ANALYSIS I LOVE
People be hating on call my bluff! I love the beat on it too
You gotta review Crimeapple and his new album Jaguar on Palisade 2
I really loved it on 1st listen which is unusual for me, the mix feels so good to the ear
Suggestion for next review: Larosh by French rapper Captaine Roshi
Thank you for the suggestion! I'm listening now. Easy to miss good French rap on this side of the Atlantic.
I'm a way better everything at 42 (cook, driver, father etc) than I was at 21. I'm not sure why, in hip-hop, there's this mentality that you don't get better with age... i.e. Jay, Em, Push, Luda...

Shout outs to Magnitude making an appearance on Professor Skye's channel!
I was disappointed I wish the whole album was Griselda inspired like the track Dreaming of the past but there were a lot of contemporary tracks like scrape it off that should have been scraped off the project. He should not have sidelined madlib
I agree crazy he sidelined madlib. Pharrell a legend but does not even begin to compare to madlib as a creative.
I can't call this Griselda inspired. Kanye was doing soul samples in the 90s. Many of these beats would have fit perfectly in the late 90s/early 2000s. If anyone deserves credit for orignating it should be the RZA. He popularized soul samples damn near 30 years ago.

@@jacobcaudill6357 what about just blaze and the heatmakers ? Didn't they give long samples to rappers first?
Love the review as always! Imagine if Pusha opened the album with Just so you remember. They missed a trick there
52:30 wait is this a photo of Magnitude? Prof are you a Community fan? (Or it might be this actor in other show I'm not sure). Anyway, POP POP!
Pop Pop indeed.
the "Kackle" you hear is just pusha t doing his joker laugh thing
Back in the day, when the cops turned the corner, we'd stuff the baggies down our sweats. To make sure that you wouldn't drop any, you'd wear the sweats that tightened around the ankles.
“there’s a reason that kanye is kanye” i shouted YES!! when u gave the dreaming of the past beat a 10. its such an inspiring use of sampling just the beat on its own is so moving also big shout out yoko ono. what an icon!!
Im pretty sure that cackle adlib is from the KSG record which is weird cause then you would think Ye would be using
"We specialize in not getting locked up - Akon" is a play on how Akon mostly made up how long he was in prison.
Yea but also A Con.... specialized in not getting locked up
We need Griselda or Freddie on this. This is the best coke rap project since Tana Talk 4 and GDMM.
LTSSTC is the nastiest beat on the whole album!!
Pusha Ts joker laugh better be here to stay
The Whitney Houston bath room photo was not the same bathroom she died in.
Love your reviews. Can you review Blond by Frank Ocean?
He finally did!
Hi Professor, given Pusha's position and perspective in the rap game, i assumed the "its almost dry" tittle could symbolize a well, with the current generation and style of hip-hop being akin to a lucrative gold mine, or well that is running dry, as a populations interest wains and shifts. serving as warning to those that have disrespected and profited wrongly from the artform; ala J. COLE 1984, probably a reach and im projecting my own feelings, but it could still apply. "we'll live forever, we write timeless raps" - Push
the ankle line is referring to how jogger sweatpants have an elastic band around the ankle and saying that the band isn’t an ankle monitor
The they don’t know line about that line (in reference to Akon) was actually because it was revealed that he never actually went to jail
I think the first time I heard the cackle / tag was Move That Dope with Future. "REAL DOPE DEALERS FOR REAL ... AHHHHH" I think thats the same laugh lol. And it predates the Joker movie which is weird cuz Push sounds a lot like Arthur laughing.
Yo Professor Skye one day you should watch a Loaded Lux rap battle
Are you planning on reviewing the new fontaines dc album? I think that its very good and that you would enjoy it.
You should review Diaspora Problems by Soul Glo. It’s an incredible album.
Great review 👍
Album def is 4.5/5...
I agree Daytona is damn near untouchable though, but it doesn't take away from how great the album is
My only complaint is that I wished he could've done songs for his wife/child, maybe also talk about him missing his brother or the death of his parents...

I think that's the next album. The jump to do that from Daytona may have been too jarring (or may have made the album longer).
"All-Consuming Capitalist Monster of Crack"
The ITYSL reference has won me over forever
I try to thrown in a quote as often as possible. Not always easy without a proper script. Fortunately I basically always have a quote in my head at all times.

Fun fact, Skye's hair is almost dry in this video.
The talking heads had some of the best art as album covers
Would you ever review older albums that you haven’t heard? You’ve spoken about how, for some time, you didn’t experience any new music. I think it would be interesting to see a few reviews of albums you may have missed.
Sir Skye, you need to listen to the new Ransom album "No Rest For The Wicked" It's HEAVY
I loved this album. Can’t wait to see Pusha next month!
You're not from VA are you? I missed his concert
"What I serve for pain, in the hood I'm a doctor"- off of nosetalgia is my favorite pusha line
The cackle you hear is just Pusha’s new thing for this album/era we’re in. After the Drake beef, it’s really just him playing this role as “the villain” or the Joker. So it adds to this character he’s representing on IAD

Hey Skye, dope review ! Can you react to lloyd banks last album “course of the inevitable”? It was a lyrical masterpiece and it’s his best work outside of G-Unit
Main thing I learned from this video is that Prof doesn't like fast beats, both smokers and hear me clearly are bangers
Have you listened to the hip hop artist named immortal technique?
E-40 is very regional. You must not have a lot of Bay Area listeners.
Must be.
I was thinking the same... he's much loved up here in Northern California. I think Prof has a lot of young viewers, too, who may not be familiar.
let the smokers shine the coupes is far from the worst song on the album are you kidding me
listen to push's "i still wanna"
or most of young jeezys "thug motivation 101"
and 2 prepaid flip phones will appear in your hands
This is my favorite Pusha album. I wanted to like Daytona as much as you, but I wasn't nearly as happy with the beats as on this album. I enjoy listening to this one more than Daytona.
love this review; you should check out the new king gizzard and the lizard wizard album its amazing!
It's almost dry is a double maybe even triple entendre....the first meaning is referring to the cocaine being so pure its still wet from being processed (not crack). The second meaning is referring to the "Game" as in the drug game being almost dry or almost done...and the third meaning is the rap game being almost dry and he is coming to breath life back into it. the tennis balls line on Daytona is about having tennis balls that you cut and placed your bundles or pack in (drugs) ....it was tactic used to to keep the work close but not on you...if the people raid the block they can't say you had drugs on you and charge you with PWID possession with intent to distribute...never keep the work and the money in the same place IYKYK
I thought the album was ok. Thats basically my sentiment of all Push's albums. Love some songs, like some and dont care for others. Never liked DAYTONA that much. Didnt care for Kanyes bars either but loved the Malice verse. Will always listen to Push's projects regardless. Thanks for your work!
It was never about who had better beats on the album. It was about the friends we sold coke to along the way
I got into John Lennons records after watching get back (which I loved but that showed me how terrible jeen-yuhs really was ) . His first album I consider to be a masterpiece , so I was excited to get into the next one with imagine , the album with the meme song in it .

That second track is also sampled in danny Brown's 3 tearz track which has a kanye sample on top of the Yoko ono track .
a 6 for let the smokers shine? nice comedy.
I love that the Hip Hop community has unanimously decided that Malice had the best verse on the album
It's a shame that they didn't give the punchbawl beat and song from nigo project to push album, malice verse was too good on the nigo project..
Please react to Weiland’s new album called Vices 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻
Y’all buying tennis balls for the wrong sport is definitely NOT just a line with no meaning lol. #IYKYK
Yo Skye, check out Cappadonna's new album with Stu Bangas: 3rd Chamber Grail Bars. Thank me later.
Omg 2 hours ago! Your so cool
The first 7 songs on this thing are absolute fire. The album deffo has a fall off in quality after that imo. But man, those first 7 tracks.
fr I think it might have been as good as daytona if he chose to make the tape 7 songs and then kinda working with those songs in a way that makes a full coherent album
I like how he brags about his collection.
I'm surprised you are unfamiliar with a TEC (TEC-9). It's probably been in 1000s of rap tracks. The first time I remember hearing it personally was in O.G. by Ice-T:
Gang bangers don't carry no switch blades.
Every kid's got a TEC-9 or a hand grenade.
I don't think pusha showed much growth. I like the album but its not great to me but I don't think I listened to it as much as you did.
People talk about the past … but they continue to sell it today 🤣 and nukes don’t exist
Are you a skarsgard?
Kanye won just because he made dreamin of the past..lol and diet Coke, just so you remember is good too but dreamin of the past is invincible that being said open air by Pharell and brambleton were really good i Also like call my bluff beat i don't understand how people don't like it, it's way better than neck and wrist..

Was wondering when someone was going to count them up. Thanks! Sounds about right.
Your definitely the last person that should be doing this type of review

Tbh I hate the cackle
DOOM please
Call my Bluff is easily the worst song on the album I'm sorry Proffessor. The hook is a mess
What do you know about street rap?
Know your place.
