<\/a>Pusha T “Wrath Of Caine” mixtape<\/p><\/div>\n
I love the Clipse, I love the Re-Up Gang, I love Pusha. That’s why it pains me to say that his newest mixtape “Wrath Of Caine” is fucking awful<\/em>.<\/p>\n It’s a shallow and uninspired production. There’s a Jamaican flavour to everything which just doesn’t sit well along P’s lyricism. Not to mention Antony B and High Priest of the Antipop Consortium perfected it a decade ago. It’s just not relevant or edgy any more. If it was only the aesthetics that were misjudged on the record I could forgive it, but everything is off.<\/p>\n The tracks are boring and horribly produced, the lyrics are lost in compression artifacts and digital clipping. Even the artwork is shit – five minutes of an intern using photoshop for the first time. It’s a mess. Pusha sounds as if he’s going through the motions, utterly uninspired and boring. He shows none of the wit, confidence or swagger we’ve taken for granted all this time.<\/p>\n “Pain” isn’t on it. “Exodus 23:1” isn’t on it. “New God Flow” isn’t on it.<\/p>\n Instead we get amateur backing tracks, plastered with bad takes of leftover verses. I can only hope that this is a case of P holding back the good stuff for the album, but now I’m not sure. EDIT: Actually, in the cold hard light of day, and after adequate time to fully digest the thing – it’s not that bad at all. It’s not what I hoped for, especially the beats and production, but on the whole it’s not that bad. I don’t do the Jamaican thing, and Pusha is sounding a little formulaic now, but I can still roll with it. You know, if push comes to shove (You can take that line Terrence, royalty free.)<\/p>\n MILLI MILLIONS IN THE CEILING MILLI MILLIONS IN THE CEILING MILLI MILLIONS IN THE CEILING MILLI MILLIONS IN THE CEILING \/ CHOPPA CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET CHOPPA CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET CHOPPA CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET CHOPPA CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[28,29,59,106],"class_list":["post-1101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-clipse","tag-coke-rap","tag-hip-hop","tag-pusha-t"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1101"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2311,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101\/revisions\/2311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe best track on “Wrath Of Caine” is Blocka. I didn’t much like Blocka.<\/p>\n
