Jul 1, 2018 Honestly, if you take time to think about it - You could name 100-200 better than Pusha skill wise. Lets even look into his signature subject matter and other rappers involved in this - Ghostface, Jay- both are about 100 times ahead of Pusha skill wise its not Pusha's strengths. Also with rappers he feuded with, Drake is better than him and Wayne is also 100 times ahead of Pusha. However Pusha has a great ear for beats that suit his album direction and that's where his strength lies, honestly he could easily be a top 20 artist of all time if you include his Clipse work(Pharrell and Kanye have a lot to do with this) Conclusion: average/above average rapper and extremely great artist
Jul 2, 2018 disagree, I'm not sure how would you define 'rap lyricism' but pusha t (and no malice) are two of the best writers there ever was
