Jim Jones has joined in on the Top 50 rapper discussion, saying that Pusha T is one MC in particular that shouldn’t be on the list.
The Dipset capo stirred up controversy during a recent episode of the Rap Caviar Podcast when he commented on the Clipse rapper’s position at No. 29 on Billboard and VIBE’s list of the 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time.
“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” Jones questioned the other panel members.
While he did give Pusha T his flowers as a lyricist, he questioned his impact on the culture, overall.
“He’s nice as shit. He could rap his ass off, but what has he done?” asked Jones. “Nobody has dressed like him.
Nobody wants to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. And let’s not be evil, but we don’t talk about rap where the n-gga that’s popping the bitches wanna fuck and the n-ggas wanna be like. I don’t know too many n-ggas in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”
“Pusha T don’t hold no weight out here. He not pushing no shit out here,” continued Jones, while Bootleg Kev referenced his 2018 Grammy-nominated album Daytona— the first full-length project from Kanye West’s Wyoming sessions.
Jones went on to say that he’d “easily” put Big Sean and Cam’ron over King Push. “You go in these clubs, I don’t know no records they play in the club with Pusha T. They don’t play his shit outside.”
