I love pusha’s work and commend him for staying relevant from the bling era to now but the guy’s appeal is considerably niche at this point, probably confined to rap nerds like me. Over the years (post-2011 or so) I think his popularity probably seemed a bit inflated due to his associations w Ye/Pharrell/the upper echelons of the fashion and entertainment industry. He’s def far more “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” than any kind of rap star himself. Prob just needs to do very small venues for the old heads and pitchfork-core.
I feel this, but he do got bars though...
