Today, Pusha T dropped his 3rd studio album, DAYTONA. People including Puff Daddy are calling it a classic already. It only contains 7 songs and is 21 minutes long. The whole album is produced by Kanye West. The artwork of the album is a photo of Whitney Houston's bathroom with drugs in it and it costed Kanye West $85K to use. On the album, there is a song title "Infrared", that disses Drake. A couple of hours later, Drake dropped a diss track back at Pusha T, titled "Duppy Freestyle". it is currently trending all over.

It really is. Just sucks it has to have such a tacky, tasteless and insensitive cover attached to it. |

So im from VA and remember very well when the Clipse came out back in the day. It was a big deal because we are from the same area......I say all o that to say I don't understand the acclaim for this album. He does have a couple of songs I really like, but a classic after a few days of being released seems like a stretch.

www.justjared.com/2018/05/27/whitney-houstons-nephew-defends-controversial-pusha-t-album-cover/Pusha T's Daytona album, produced by Kanye West, features a picture on the cover of the late Whitney Houston's bathroom, which is believed to display drug paraphernalia. Gary Houston, the 31-year-old nephew of Whitney, is now speaking out to Good Morning America about the cover - and he says that Pusha and Kanye shouldn't be blamed for using the image. PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Kanye West “Not to be divisive, but I’m of a different mindset when it comes to situations like this. People will automatically look to people like Pusha T and Kanye West and try to place blame or say they have ill or malicious intent in order to gain publicity. But I get it. I get the correlation (sans my aunt but the photo itself) and I actually love the album," he said. “Bottom line — they are artists and in this day and age, if they can afford to pay someone for usage of that photograph in order to convey a visual message to accompany their musicianship...then so be it,” he continued. “The bigger issue is deeper and one that most people (including folks who claim to be so heartbroken and traumatized by the usage of the photo) choose to conveniently ignore and bypass. The person who violated the trust of my aunt by taking the photo and selling it to tabloids for their own personal and/or financial gain is more of a travesty to me. People should research that — because whoever exposed it are the people who violated her trust, mistreated her, and who should ultimately be held accountable for contributing to circumstances surrounding her demise."

Twitter and their fake outrage. "Disgusted" by the album cover but all laughed and made jokes at Whitney's expense when she was alive.

Twitter and their fake outrage. "Disgusted" by the album cover but all laughed and made jokes at Whitney's expense when she was alive. This is sort of...spectacularly nonsensical. Just in case this isn’t blind fan deflection because you don’t like the negative PR (and grim character implications) of this cover choice, it might be worth remembering two things: First, making jokes in poor taste when something is a rumor about an alive person is very obviously different from making those same jokes about a dead person, and also very obviously different from investing $85,000 into a very not-a-joke photograph for the purposes of media saturation. Second, even if you magically equate both alive-Whitney jokes and this cover, Whitney died six years ago. Six years is a long time for a person to mature, maybe get to know people who are addicts (or they’ve struggled themselves) and maybe wouldn’t find those jokes all that funny anymore. This is not hypocrisy, it’s growth. Something we should be encouraging. tl;dr: wtf. |

I don’t think it’s okay at all that the photo was used. I just find the “outrage” to be annoying when A) Nobody will care about it in a week and continue to stream the album and B) Whitney and Bobby jokes are still prevalent all over social media to this day.
That’s all I was saying. I think the cover is tacky and tasteless but also can’t take twitters outrage all that seriously.

Did Pusha just randomly come at him, or did Aubrey sub him before?
Because this mess seems incredibly random. Drake used to stan Clipse pretty vocally no?

Terrence has hated Cash Money for a minute so this predates even that Didn't something happened after "What Happened To That Boy", and TBC alluded Pusha said something about Wayne copying his clothing style? Also, if I can recall, "Mr. Me Too" was partially about Wayne too right? |

Pusha and Wayne had beef starting back in '06/'07 b/c Pusha thought Wayne was biting his flow or something. Drake was a Clipse fan, to the point that he bought one of T's signed mics off EBay. But when Pusha decided to come at Cash Money on wax (in 2011 I think), he included Drake's name in it. Drake and Pusha have traded not-so-subliminal subs for a minute since then.
I don't know that Drake can come back from this - not even speaking on a musical level (Drake is objectively skilled enough to hold his own) but more on a 'there's just not enough water to put out this fire of a publicity nightmare' level. Like, at this point, fuck a response, just release an official apology statement and start cutting checks to every BLM group you can find an address for in the next two weeks...whatever it takes to keep your fanbase from fading away like a Marvel movie before your album release.
Pusha himself is being a world class plantation ****** by pulling Drake's card on this while having nothing to say about his own boss's coonery, but bringing that up will just be called out for the flimsy deflection that it is. I don't support going out without a fight, IJS, this is one hell of an uphill battle for Drake rn.
