When you can convince the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara and Jessica Biel to participate in a self-lampooning take on the obsessive-compulsive behavior of Hollywood’s image issues, you’ve got yourself a winner. Plus, this is just awesome for all the right reasons. Spotted at Shabooty.

I remember I recorded this song in Long Island somewhere. I had more fun at the video shoot when everybody was there. Hanging out with Rae was cool. I still felt like the new kid around. I looked up to all of these cats, but at the same time I was trying to make my entrance in the game and let them know I was going to be here for a while. I’m a little edgy, but I still was thinking, ‘Wow, I’m in the trailer with all these guys!’ Is this one of my best verses? I don’t know. That’s for the people to decide.
Earlier in the month Push was featured in Complex Magazine’s “Mantras” segment. For those that never read the piece in print, you can now catch it online, alongside a few outtakes as well.
Now that you’re on G.O.O.D. Music and solo, will there be an adjustment to your rapping style?
Pusha T: I tell people a lot of times, the dichotomy of the Clipse is Pusha is the brash one and Malice is the more introspective, conscious one. But when you’re in a group, there are roles that you have to play. With me being by myself, you’re going to get more of what might have been Malice’s role when I was in the group. It’s not that I don’t think that way…he’s just better at that than me. [Laughs.] That’s his first thought when wordplay is my first thought. You’re probably going to get a little bit of me articulating really introspective things and getting the full spectrum of me.

I woke up today excited thinking that the latest offering from Pac Div will be available. Unfortunately, I just received word that the project has been pushed to Tuesday, March 1st, instead. Sorry folks, we’ll have to wait a few more days.

Wait… Colt 45 is still around?! Anyways, when Snoop isn’t trying to convince us to either buy glorified Brut to wipe out the smell of beedies from your clothes or that swapping over to Metro PCS is the right choice, he’s lamping with Rosa Acosta for Colt 45’s new “beverage,” Blast. At Billie Dee Williams’ crib. Of course it’d be there.
