![]() ![]() He's makes better use of the melodic Harry Fraud beat on "Road Runner," although there is some irony in having Pusha brag about being a drug dealer in one bar and then complain about the police profiling him as a drug user in another. It's nice to hear a rapper who can actually rap working with Chief Keef's go-to producer, but Pusha's half-hearted rhymes about pushing weight sound recycled and tired. "Blocka" has Pusha rapping over a dancehall-tinged Young Chop beat. "There's a meaning to the kissing of the ringĪnd Cassius ain't bothered by your swings" The beat is lethargic and Pusha is in full-on Godfather mode, trying so hard to be serious that he ends up a little ridiculous: It all culminates in a chorus of "Millions in the ceiling/Choppers in the closet" over an appropriately bombastic Southside beat.įrench Montana guests on "It Doesn't Matter," one of several younger artists that Pusha works with on this mixtape. "A thousand drug dealers with the cruelest intentions." I don't know where he is with No Malice's newfound churchiness, but on the Rick Ross and Kanye assisted "Millions," he almost seems to be mocking No Malice: "This is the energy I've been missing," he announces on the opening intro. Pusha knows he's doing the devil's business, and alternates between celebrating his wicked ways and trying to atone for them, although there isn't a hell of a lot of atoning on "Wrath of Caine." Pusha hasn't gone Christian like Malice (now No Malice) has, but his rhymes are full of Biblical imagery. Pusha is in full-on Hollywood fantasy mode now.Īs always, Pusha assumes the persona of a ruthless drug dealer who occaisionally dwells on the horrors his lifestyle has wrought. Any sense of reality that was present in the early Clipse material is gone. On "Wrath of Caine," he's in full Rick Ross mode (the rapper, not the drug dealer), acting as if it makes any sense at all that a criminal mastermind making billions in the drug trade would also be rapping about it. On the Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury," he was a grimy aspiring drug lord. The older he gets, though, the more outlandish and unbelievable his lyrics get. Pusha's career has been made rapping about being coke dealer, and he's not changing gears this far into a good thing. If there was any question that Pusha was going to explore new territory, the title of his mixtape puts that to rest. Music imprint in an attempt to make fans who weren't rap nerds or actual drug dealers. Tired of appealing to a small subsection of music fans, Pusha signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Then Pusha T's brother Malice found God and decided that rapping about selling drugs conflicted with his values, so Pusha was left on his own as a solo artist. As one half of rap group the Clipse, he released three albums and several mixtapes of cold-as-ice coke rap over banging beats. Wrath of Caine shows, Pusha unable to find his creative sweet spot and that he wants to improve his sound which is worthy of praise.By now Pusha T's story is familiar with RapReviews readers. His attempts to revive his relevancy and to possibly capture the elements of Clipse’s classic sound, making it more modern are largely successful although many of Pusha’s flaws that were on his previous mixtapes are still here. Pusha uses Old Testament religious imagery, and making it more modern. Wrath of Caine is a much better than either of his previous EPs because Pusha is attempting to add more flavor and imagination into his previously stale solo releases. Wrath of Cain shows Pusha T’s “versatility” wheels begin to churn. Pusha T makes up for his lack of groundbreaking lyricism found on Hell Hath No Fury with attempts at having a more versatile sound by adding catchier choruses, and using huge cinematic beats a la Rick Ross’ Rich Forever. On Wrath of Cain, it is clear that Pusha T is not quite as skilled on the mic as he once was in his glory days with Clipse. Unfortunately Pusha doesn’t sound like he knows what is best for him. It’s up to him if he wants to stand out and do his own thing or follow current trends in rap. These days Pusha T suffers from not really knowing what he’s good at.

TAIPEI, Taiwan-( BUSINESS WIRE)- CyberLink Corp. When The Kansan story was published, the response was immediate. The Kansan’s editors were so supportive of the story that instead of putting it on the front page of the paper, it was published in full on the paper’s website and shared in the state’s special education section for the Brown v. Still, Frey and Breckunitch worked until they had more than 100 inches of copy for their editors to review. This story, he noted, was harder because “I knew people didn’t want to talk about this.” “I’ve covered a mass shooting, and while that was emotionally draining, it wasn’t hard because people wanted to talk,” Frey said. It also allowed him to break up the emotional drain of such a complex story. “Stories like this are tough when you really are part of the community.”įrey worked through his anxieties by spending extra time working on the story – he started showing up to the office 10 minutes earlier and set aside time whenever the opportunity presented itself. ![]() “I have three kids in the school system, and I would lay awake at night wondering how a story like this would impact them,” he said. He looked to neighbors and friends to help him understand the institutional racism inherent in even non-segregated schools, and how he could tactfully approach these subjects as a person speaking from a place of privilege.īut Frey also wanted to be sensitive because he lives and works in a very small community. He turned to community members regularly for help understanding the various points of view in his town and how to cover such a hot-button issue. Out of more than 300 teachers reported, only three are African American and two are Hispanic.”Įven with the obvious importance of the story, Frey said tackling such a big issue wasn’t easy. ![]() As they noted in their article, “There are 15 building administrators and only one of those is African American. When Frey and Breckunitch began digging into the situation, they found that during the 2018-2019 school year, 97 percent of the staff of the Newton School District was white, while more than 30 percent of the students were non-white. But while we were never ‘segregated,’ there was segregation.” Unlike other cities in Kansas, Frey explained, “Newton has a population of 20,000, so it didn’t have the money for segregated schools. “It seemed like a natural fit when you talk about Brown v. Frey knew he had his hook – he partnered with colleague Kelly Breckunitch to tackle it. Board of Education decision approached, the state of Kansas reached out to newsrooms asking for stories about integration in the decades since the landmark case. When the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Unsure of how to get started, Frey began attending racial justice meetings in the community and learning from his neighbors “what it’s like living in Newton while not white.” The stories he heard left an impression on him, and he realized that many of the stories about segregation and racial inequality in Newton were from decades earlier and people with firsthand experience of modern racism weren’t seeing their stories told. “I always wondered what it would be like if we looked at who’s teaching our kids,” Frey said. The idea of writing about the racial breakdown of Newton was something reporter Chad Frey had long wanted to tackle, and that seed of an idea lived on The Kansan’s “grandiose ideas” board at the back of the newsroom. For reporters at The Newton Kansan, this discrepancy is an essential story for their community – and one they believe every community newspaper should be tracking. ![]() In Newton, Kansas, less than 3 percent of teachers are non-white, while the student body is 38 percent non-white.
