Pusha T on JAY-Z for The New York Times’ 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters feature: "There haven’t been many people who can speak for a generation, and speak to the mentality of what Black youth was going through, for everyone who indulged in the allure of street culture. He gave us such a tutorial, his whole career — about street life, drug culture, luxury, the pitfalls as well as the floss. And then he took “Allure,” from “The Black Album,” and basically admitted, Man, I fell victim to the game. It is just the best representation of a rap artist speaking to his demographic, which was a lot of the kids exposed to the crack era from every angle. Everybody who was playing in that world, you know, we all had moments of clarity. Regardless of whether it was an opportunity in music, a near-death experience of a friend or yourself, a run-in with the law — everybody had this feeling and told themselves, That’s it. And the game called them right back. That chorus and bridge really captured the feelings of anyone living that life. And the hook spoke to a level of admission of, like, I know I’m doing wrong. I see clearly. I’m over it. I’m done. But everybody, you know, folded and ran back, like an addict. He’s talking about a real experience, and his mission is to articulate, in the best possible way, his feelings at the time. When you draw from real experience, there’s a level of passion that comes across — I’ve always felt like that was something he did very well. Even his more commercial records, they always still carried a heavy weight of lyricism. “N****s in Paris,” “Hard Knock Life,” “Otis” — these are all hit singles, and his verses carry the weight of mixtape verses. One of his best performances, to me, is “Hovi Baby.” Lyrically it is by far one of the best [expletive]-talking, acrobatic, philosophizing — I mean, come on. Listen: At that point I was scared of Jay-Z. This is another stride of lyricism, philosophy, I’m-the-best braggadocio, bravado. And he’s, like, tap-dancing all over this beat. Later on in the song, he starts talking about how he’s chasing the snare around — and he’s actually doing it. To me, that was a Super Saiyan moment. “Hovi Baby” scared the hell out of me."

end of an incredible era. after 10+ years, ive decided to step away from Complex and my show "360 with Speedy" to go independent and enter into some new partnerships. getting to work alongside some of my best friends and travel the world doing what i love has been the honor of a lifetime. Complex has been the best partner i could have ever imagined, and my life has changed forever because of them. interviewing, hosting, and connecting with people on a deeper level has always been at the heart of who I am. im excited to continue to do that with new partners and audiences, and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in store
