Pusha T Trolls Drake For Taking Legal Action Over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”
“One thousand percent,” Push said when asked if Lamar was the winner of the battle. “I think Kendrick Lamar is a lyricist. And a lyricist that talks to your soul. You can be clever, you can say cute things. You can do things in cadences…but the truth really hurts. The truth cuts deep. What Kendrick was really doing was talking to his soul. I believe that. I believe that would cause you to tap out. That will cause you to sue. That will cause you to do a lot of things. It’s crazy.”

Push also went on to praise Lamar’s artistry overall, crediting him for platforming quality lyricism at such a high level. “It’s good to see lyricism be looked at and respected on such a high level and it’s dope because … what Kendrick did for what we do as rappers was very big,” he said.
