Kanye insisted on using this but Push didn't wanna pay all that for it. He had the cover ready to go when Kanye swapped it last minute and he trusted him. I think he did well.
Bob I think it's only fitting if you follow what happens after "Infrared". Its a drake diss. I think after infrared drake dropped "Duppy Freestyle" and Push then responded with "Story of Adidon" one of the most brutal diss tracks ever. The beef spans before Infrared, but you really get into the meat and potatoes with the tracks I mentioned. Might be worth checking them out, even if it's only for patreon
The order is Lift Yourself(Kanye waste a beat he promised drake which he acquired off a kid on the street ninoblu I think) -> infrared -> duppy->addidon
I know what you're trying to say, Push does have one of the best deliveries, but you're SEVERELY underestimating his lyricism. Dude is easily one of the best lyricists of all time, double entendres everywhere and his wordplay in general is next level. It just so happens that his delivery is also amazing.
pretty sure this guy is referring to how Push writes, not how he raps. if you look at it from the outside, you really could sum it up and say Push is just rapping about drugs, which yeah gets very boring very fast; but, Push's wordplay and writing is just so fantastic that he really could rap about whatever he wants and still make it entertaining
Nas and Teyana Taylor both had albums with Ye during those Wyoming sessions as well. Ye did 5 albums during those sessions, and Yandhi is a fascinating scrapped album that came after those sessions in 2018, which transformed into JIK in 2019. Such an odd music rabbit hole to go into. And the album cover for Daytona is Whittney Houston's bathroom.
Yandhi was so much better than what we ended up getting with Jesus is King it’s not even funny. If Kanye would’ve gave us Yandhi it would’ve been a classic album in his discography. 💯
I really love this album, I think the recent follow-up "Its almost dry" is also pretty amazing, but this definitely brought him on todays maps as one of the greats. If u want to dig into some older stuff I highly recommend "Hell Hath No Fury" where he performed with his brother as The Clipse!!
Daytona is a rare moment in modern rap. A nearly NEARLY perfect record. Start to finish. Undoubtedly some of Kanye’s most impressive production, also considering he was producing 4 other albums including his own all to be released in the same month.
"Ran off on the Plug too(2) like Trugoy (the dove)" Trugoy is part of the legendary hip hop group De La Soul. The members of De La Soul went by Plug 1, Plug 2, etc. Plug 2 was Trugoy. If you could react to De La Soul that would be fucking epic
Pusha's writing style is super compact and tied together. He will have wordplays inside of wordplays all with a double meaning. For whatever reason you don't hear him brought up a lot when people talk about the best writing / wordplay in modern rap - But I think he's at the top.
COMEBACK BABY: The reason the beat switch from chorus to the verse is because in the chorus the guy is asking for his baby (crack/heroin) to comeback because he is an addict, you can see also that the verse drops in right before the chorus can finish the sentence because he just took a hit and the ominous beat is the drug going through his body and high. When the chorus comes back around the high is over but he wants it to come back baby! Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks Bob
push is such a good rapper, one of my fav lines from him is "They say they wanna see proof, My record sales ain't much as theirs, And we still ride the same coupes..." from his song millions with rick ross
I realized a few years back how I actually grew up on so many Virginia artists. As a kid listening to the radio I listened to Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Pharrell and The Neptunes and Clipse. Pusha T being in Clipse with his brother No Malice (formerly Malice). Pusha always stood out and rediscovering his music both solo and with his brother has been sick. Definitely a style and genre on its own almost. He had the coke raps on lock. He's great at it. Setting the tone and imagery. Providing visuals to a lifestyle he once had. But his beef with Drake blew up so much and when I dug into that, it was clear I had become a fan. Pusha has only gotten better with his wordplay. He just needs the right producers for the instrumentals and you got rock solid rap songs. High quality.
Pusha's goal has been to "become the Martin Scorsese of coke rap". Over the years he's become more and more intricate with his descriptions of street life. Its always a benefit to have grown with an artist/listened to earlier works. It definitely woulda helped you with understanding more of the bars. Hopefully you'll go back and do some Clipse albums, preferably chronological. And if unfamiliar, Clipse is the group comprised of Pusha and his older brother Malice. Malice (now No Malice) gave his life to Christ, and departed from Clipse after their 4th album, leaving Push to grow into the dope solo artist that he is.
Oh shit this album is so good! You have to respond to story of Adidon since it came out around the same time. Also, Daytona refers to the Rolex Daytona (Pusha T’s favorite luxury watch) because he and Ye took their time making it, or rather, they had the luxury of time.
the cover of daytona is a picture of whitney houston’s bathroom, which was taken by her sister in-law. the photo was given to a newspaper, then the licensing of it was purchased by kanye just before daytona’s release for $85000!
I love this album it brings back alot of nostalgia I remember when these albums were released a week apart for 5 weeks This was the soundtrack of my summer The Games we play is phenomenal I love the rest of the album but that's my favourite song
Pusha T was part of a rap duo Called Clipse with his brother malice from the mid 90’s-2009 where they released 4 albums. Pharrell discovered them and pushed hard to get them the recognition they deserved after the failure of their first album but finally breaking through the mainstream with their 2nd, Lord Willin’. Every album was produced by the neptunes (Pharrell & Chad Hugo). Personally I think Clipse made some the best rap music during the 2000’s and would love to see you react to one of their albums.
whats interesting about the sample from the "mighty hannibal" in come back baby is the last line is "but have you tried Jesus" , but push cuts to the verse before the sample can get to Jesus
The best line is on the album is on What Would Meek Do. Pop a wheelie and tell the judge to Akinyele (he is a rapper whose one hit was Just Put It In Your Mouth).
Bob this is a hell of an album for you to be introduced to Pusha-T hahahha (commenting at 23:40) it has some of his deepest double and tripple entendres up until that point. Pusha is a 'coke rapper' 90-95% of his content is about pushing coke (hence the name maybe lol) however even with a singular topic across 4 solo albums (i'm not kidding) he has found ways to keep it interesting and fresh and compelling, hell after a pusha-t album some people say they feel like they been moving coke or that they want to move coke hahaha. If you are planning on hearing more of pusha going forward i would reccomend you start with his first solo album and work your way up. He also has a track with kendrick (Nosetalgia) that i think will absolutley blow your mind when you look up the breakdown to kendrick's verse (no spoilers.) Looking forward to the rest of this video and the rest of the super week releases!
Trugoy was a member of the legendary Hip-Hop group, De La Soul. His nickname was also Plug Two (Plug too). He's just using his name for clever wordplay. The whole song (If You Know You Know) is basically a bragging track where he's referencing things only certain people would know about because they have a certain status or reputation.
A review once described Rick Ross as a man who makes up his reality as he goes along. I’ve never been able to get that apt description out of my head anytime I’ve heard a verse of his.
Push was on a few songs on Dark Twisted Fantasy, and a bunch of the songs that didn't make that album, which Ye released via his blog back then. They've been close/frequent collaborators for a long time. Push is even the president of Ye's label, Good Music. He's been one of the bigger names in hip-hop since the 2000's, has hits of his own from when he was in the duo Clipse. (just a bit of background since you said you weren't familiar with him at all)
You gotta listen to Drake's response to Infrared, "Duppy Freestyle". Pusha quickly responded to that song with probably the hardest-hitting diss track in the last 15 years "The Story of Adidon" - the name of the track itself resulted in Drake cancelling an entire Adidas campaign and therefore losing potential millions, and the cover art forced Drake to release a press statement in defense of himself.
This album is a gem. AAA production on an album that is unapologetically for the trap. If you know you know, and if you don't, honestly you're probably better of just not knowing. Still poetic too. Push is a little overlooked, this is one of the better projects of its era imo.
That annotation for the first part of his verse on Infrared is complicated but very very necessary because of the beef that had went on. I was almost surprised you hadn’t heard about it. If you do listen to any of Drake’s newer music he often touches on the things Pusha outted in his official diss track towards Drake. It was a huge moment in hip hop and this song basically reignited the nearly decade old beef
to get more context on the 2018 drake vs pusha t / ye beef you should do a reaction to drake’s pusha diss track ‘Duppy Freestyle’ and Pusha T’s drake diss ‘The Story Of Adidon’. it was one of the biggest moments within hip hop in 2018
The Trugoy line is a reference to Trugoy The Dove from De La Soul! Trugoy was often called “Plug Two”, so thats a little clever line. React to Hell Hath No Fury by Clipse. Pusha T and his brother.
Even if you don’t do a reaction for it but I HIGHLY recommend you listen to Teyana Taylor’s album Keep That Same Energy which was apart of the Wyoming album drops with Daytona, Ye, KSG, and Nasir. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time.
13:00-13:20 Bob is so funny man. Push has got him confused with all the coded language. Pusha T's not a surface-level rapper, you gotta pay attention to every bar
The idea behind using Whitney's bathroom photo from when they found her was because Push does, as he describes, "high class, coke rap" 👌 so that being her bathroom from when they found her sets the theme. There's also a ton of Drake disses and sneak lines in there that baited drake into more beef so he could drop "story of Adidon" If you know you know is basically just if you come from this type of life you know. If you don't, you just can't know. But this clicks for people that do lol.
While Nasir was part of the summer rollout of albums, I’m not sure if I’d recommend it since the reaction to that album is pretty mixed. It is only like 20 minutes though, so if you’re interested to see how the Yeezy Season albums (Daytona etc) compare in terms of quality then I’m sure it would be a fun listen
Yeah for a Nas album to be completely produced by Kanye West Nasir was a huge disappointment. But it was some decent song’s on it though like Adam & Eve, Bonjour.
@@bigjohnboatright3811 Honestly I thought the production was pretty good but Nas didn’t really show up to rap like he usually does, plus he throws in some questionable bars like the anti-vax bars in everything But there’s definitely a lack of chemistry between the producer and rapper. I wish Kanye would have given more time on the project to flesh out the album more properly, so he could tailor his production to Nas’s style better and bring the best out of him
His last song infrared was directed at Drake. That's what led to Drake and pusha ts battle songs later where pusha destroyed Drake by revealing Drake had a song, to which nobody knew about
The artwork for Daytona is actually a photograph of Whitney Houston’s drug-infested bathroom from 2006. Kanye paid $85,000 to license the picture
I remember there were a lot of people online that were very not happy about them using it
@@Flamerunner451 yeah I remember that and I couldn’t get on board cause it’s like it’s actually HER bathroom lol. If it was fake that’s another story.
@@Flamerunner451 this cover is hard asf because it's real and fit with the theme so hard, icing on the cake that make it 10/10
Called Push at 1am to tell him “we have to change the cover!” 😂
Kanye insisted on using this but Push didn't wanna pay all that for it. He had the cover ready to go when Kanye swapped it last minute and he trusted him. I think he did well.
This is Pusha's opus in my opinion. Not a line wasted on the entire album. Double and triple entendres throughout with elite wordplay.
Have you listened to Hell Hath No Fury?
@@feli6277 Yes but that's a Clipse project not a Pusha T solo effort.
@@DawryMike true 😊
Definitely. Quality over quantity
I feel the same way but i liked It’s Almost Dry a little bit better.
Song title: "If You Know You Know"
Bob: "I literally do not"
SUPER FRIDAY LFG
Bob I think it's only fitting if you follow what happens after "Infrared". Its a drake diss. I think after infrared drake dropped "Duppy Freestyle" and Push then responded with "Story of Adidon" one of the most brutal diss tracks ever. The beef spans before Infrared, but you really get into the meat and potatoes with the tracks I mentioned. Might be worth checking them out, even if it's only for patreon
Can't skip Lift Yourself by Ye
@@JC20XX true
The order is
Lift Yourself(Kanye waste a beat he promised drake which he acquired off a kid on the street ninoblu I think) -> infrared -> duppy->addidon
Would love to see these yes
I said this to him a year ago
Bob needs to do a Monday listen where he listens to Drake's Duppy Freestyle and then Pusha's Story of Adidon
I 100% agree. Those 2 tracks serve as an epilogue to this project and The story of adidon is IMO one of the best diss tracks of all time.
And lift yourself ;) the ultimate disstrack of that beef
lift yourself by ye too, hardest diss record ever
@@ko_family Oh yeah, the bars on that song changed the whole industry, 2pac and MF DOOM could never.
it isn't a full listen of Daytona without listening to Duppy Freestyle & Story of Adidon imo. what a fun time, crazy that its already been 4 years
Pusha T is the best example of “it’s not about what you say, it’s about how you say”
This. I’m gonna be real I don’t know what push is saying for 75% of this album but his delivery is so good that I just can’t stop listening
Thats pac cuz push says some crazy shit whereas pac is kinda simple but has god level delivery. Push has both.
I know what you're trying to say, Push does have one of the best deliveries, but you're SEVERELY underestimating his lyricism. Dude is easily one of the best lyricists of all time, double entendres everywhere and his wordplay in general is next level. It just so happens that his delivery is also amazing.

Pusha T was on a feature on Runaway and So Appalled on MBDTF
Kids see ghosts and Jesus Is King aswell
@@morko6940 Bob hasn’t heard those, OP is referring to what Bob said at 1:12
Daytona is such a good album. The ye production really ties everything together
Nas and Teyana Taylor both had albums with Ye during those Wyoming sessions as well. Ye did 5 albums during those sessions, and Yandhi is a fascinating scrapped album that came after those sessions in 2018, which transformed into JIK in 2019. Such an odd music rabbit hole to go into.

I love this album so much. It’s one you can so easily listen to all the way through every time with no skips and enjoy yourself the whole time
Pusha T is amazing, always consistent with his music and Daytona is arguably his best 🔥
It’s Almost Dry is starting to make a strong case for that. 🤷🏻♂️
@@bigjohnboatright3811 yea I agree it's really close
You know it.
I really love this album, I think the recent follow-up "Its almost dry" is also pretty amazing, but this definitely brought him on todays maps as one of the greats. If u want to dig into some older stuff I highly recommend "Hell Hath No Fury" where he performed with his brother as The Clipse!!
Malice!
To this day, when "the games we play" starts in my car, i go insane. One of my favorite songs, ever.
For a 20 minutes album, It still feel like a full length album
Absolutely incredible that If You Know You Know did exactly what it was meant to do I love that
Daytona is a rare moment in modern rap. A nearly NEARLY perfect record. Start to finish. Undoubtedly some of Kanye’s most impressive production, also considering he was producing 4 other albums including his own all to be released in the same month.

He definitely should be brought up more. Such a good lyricist
Great description

I think with Pusha's lyrics you seriously need to listen to the songs multiple times and dissect the lyrics like crazy
push is such a good rapper, one of my fav lines from him is "They say they wanna see proof, My record sales ain't much as theirs, And we still ride the same coupes..." from his song millions with rick ross
You stumbled onto this classic the day before I looked up a reaction to Santeria nice timing
This is one of my all time favorite albums. I listen from start to beginning at least once a day no joke! NOT ONE BORING MOMENT.
Also run off on the plug means going to buy drugs and literally running off on the plug as to not having to pay.
From start to beginning?! How are you able to afford the time to do that??

the beginning of the greatest Fridays out of all Fridays

3:40 it's kinda funny cuz "if you know you know, you know" lmao
The comment about Pusha rapping in "shadows" is a great way of phrasing it, and sounds like something Pusha would say himself lol
I love that part where he says double Dutch and double back and the beat literally starts to double Dutch with the drums
Each and every one of these is a classic imo
A review once described Rick Ross as a man who makes up his reality as he goes along. I’ve never been able to get that apt description out of my head anytime I’ve heard a verse of his.
Rick Ross literally stole his identity from an inmate he was a correctional officer over. To say he makes it up is an understatement.
yep. I never have listened to a rick Ross album but he is pretty good on features. but as you said when he everything he spits is a lie its weird
I’m just watching for the background fish

Can't wait for a Nasir reaction if you do Intend to listen to it ‼
You gotta listen to Drake's response to Infrared, "Duppy Freestyle". Pusha quickly responded to that song with probably the hardest-hitting diss track in the last 15 years "The Story of Adidon" - the name of the track itself resulted in Drake cancelling an entire Adidas campaign and therefore losing potential millions, and the cover art forced Drake to release a press statement in defense of himself.
Wob reacting to a real classic 🔥
One of my favorite albums!

Been waiting for this man, super cool album! Also still looking forward for you to hear some Gang Starr!
Can’t wait to watch this. The cover of the album btw is a photo Whitney Houston’s bathroom
Pusha Criminally underrated
Even if you don’t do a reaction for it but I HIGHLY recommend you listen to Teyana Taylor’s album Keep That Same Energy which was apart of the Wyoming album drops with Daytona, Ye, KSG, and Nasir. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time.
Damn i actually forgot all about my baby Teyana Taylor drooping a album that was apart of the Wyoming sessions. 😲
