G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T is fully loaded. The rap veteran has fired off an unexpected shot at one-time rival Drake with his new “H.G.T.V.” single.
King Push released the hard-hitting visual Wednesday (October 12) and landed subliminal blows on Drizzy.
“It’s too far gone when the realest ain’t real,” he raps. “I walk amongst the clouds, so your ceilings ain’t real / These ni**as ‘Call of Duty’ ’cause they killings ain’t real / With a questionable pen so the feeling ain’t real.” During the scathing verse, Pusha also references Drizzy’s alcohol brand Virginia Black with clever wordplay. “Me, myself, and I, we like a hamster in the wheel,” he rhymes. “Rose emblem, black Virginian.” (Rap-Up)
Last month, Push showed off footage of G.O.O.D. head Kanye West applauding him at a live concert.

Recently, G.O.O.D. Music’s 2 Chainz weighed-in on Pusha’s first year atop the label.
“I guess it would be the same with any person in their first year, there’s gonna be a transition,” Chainz said when asked about Pusha’s first 12 months. “You really can’t judge or base anybody’s first year as president. I think Pusha T has a great mindset. He’s an awesome leader, a trendsetter, and I think he really did the things he said he did. So with any other business, any other operation in life, it takes a minute. I’m in full support of him. I just saw him go to Obama’s birthday party, so I ain’t got nothing but double salutes to what the boy’s got going on. We’ll just see. I guess you’ve gotta keep your eyes open and see what’s going on.” (Complex)

In late June, Pusha T talked about his non-stop G.O.O.D. duties.
“First and foremost, it’s signing acts. Desiigner, number one,” Pusha said when asked about what responsibilities he has as G.O.O.D. Music president. “His energy is like a spark, it’s been a spark for all of us. The ‘Panda’ record is what it is. It’s so much more to come. As far as me being a president, it’s just overseeing the acts, overseeing the rollouts, signing new acts as well as pushing forward and raising the bar for everything creative and fan base. We’re trying to really heighten the fan experience when it comes to the music.” (Hot 97)
