Album Review: My Name Is My Name by Pusha T

            Technically this is Pusha's debut album, but he is far from being called a rookie in the rap game. In my opinion, he is extremely underrated, and I'm hoping this album goes to number 1 on the Billboards. He definitely deserves more recognition, especially with an album like this. His lyricism is outstanding, and the producers on this album did an amazing job.

            Damn! The intro to this album is probably one of the best intros I have heard in a while. King Push really sets the tone of the whole album. Pusha claims “If it’s my reign, then it’s my shower”, which is probably the dopest line in the song. Pusha destroyed this song, and that is all I can say.

            Numbers On The Boards is a perfect beat made by Mr. West and Don Cannon. It is such a simple beat, but Pusha shows off his boastful lyricism. Another ambient track on this LP, which we’ll hear a lot of throughout the album.

            Pusha aint afraid to talk about his drug dealing past, and Sweet Serenade sure shows it off. Over a cinematic instrumental from Swizz Beatz, Pusha tells us why real g’s move in silence. Also this song shows why Chris Brown needs to stick to hooks. The hook on this song really complements Pusha’s verses. Pure greatness right here.

            Hold On is like a street ballad. Pusha, Kanye harmonizing, and damn does Rozay deliver, really makes a perfect song. This song is heartfelt, but at the same time gritty. What Ross says in his verse, really shows the thesis of this song, “If you slip and you fall I got you my nigga, hold on”. The feels…

            The next song, Suicide, shows how Pusha still got block ties. Skateboard P provides a very bouncy beat, and Pusha goes to work. This song is also kind of a Re-Up Gang reunion, because of Ab-liva’s simple, but effective verse.

            40 Acres is another emotional song, because it describes Pusha’s childhood. The Dream provides an ambient beat, as well as a hook. The one thing I noticed with this song is the extreme change in the beat when the hook changes to the verses. King Push shows off his storytelling skills.

            No Regrets, in my opinion, is the anthem of the album. My Name Is My Name is all about Pusha reminiscing on his past life, but he on this song he shows he has “No Regrets”. Solid hook from Kevin Cossom, and Jeezy’s verse adds a lot of color to this banger.

            Let Me Love You talks about Pusha cheating on his girl. Kelly Rowland plays the part of the “side chick”. Another song where Pusha shows off his versatility in the rap game. He even pays homage to Ma$e with a verse that sounds exactly like Ma$e’s voice. That beat is really infectious, as well.

            Who I Am is Pusha’s statement to be dope forever…literally. Another drug reference right there. Fellow GOOD Music labelmates, 2Chainz and Mr. Finally Famous, provide braggadocios verses.

            Nosestalgia is another amazing storytelling song. Pusha talks about his drug dealing past, while Kendrick provides a really dark verse talking about his father’s drug addiction. Some say the Kendrick verse is better than the “Control” verse. That may be very true, because the verse is magnificent.

            Another dark song produced by Kanye. Pain shows that Future doesn’t only do club songs. This song was actually leaked a long time ago, but it still goes hard.

            Sorry Nigga, I’m Tryna Come Home, S.N.I.T.C.H, is about exactly what the acronym says. No one likes a snitch, but Pharrell’s character is trying to get out, so he will snitch on Pusha’s character. The Neptunes provide a very bluesy beat, and even Pharrell’s hook sounds like an old school soul singer.

            This album is a masterpiece. That is all I can say. With amazing production and lyricism, Pusha really outdid  himself on this LP. (5 out of 5 stars)
