Pusha T Owns some of the best verses in Hip-Hop History
One of our favorite artists is celebrating his birthday today, so we had to go back and pick some of our fav bars from our fav verses (we have so much more - not trying to have you here swiping all day, but too many to choose from).

About 12 months ago, in conversation with Frazier Tharpe, he told him: "and honestly, Frazier, you got to realize I've really been in Paris. I've really been making my joints. I've really been doing my shit." About a month or so later, the world would witness Clipse's Let God Sort 'Em Out - an album that took over and reminded everyone that hip-hop still exists (regardless of what some will say), and even shut down SoHo for one evening outside the Denim Tears store on Spring St.

Born in the Bronx, raised in Virginia Beach; the same city that gave us Pharrell and Timbaland among others. Formed Clipse with No Malice in '92. fast forward to Lord Willin' in '02 and Hell Hath No Fury in '06; both Neptunes-produced masterclasses that set the standard for what street rap could sound like when the pen was actually working. Daytona in 2018, Named Best Rapper Alive by Complex that same year.
