G.O.O.D. Music’s Pusha T recently dished on receiving some high acclaim from hip-hop mogul Dr. Dre and his support for the new N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.
Pusha admitted Dre’s co-sign took him by surprise.
“It blew my mind, actually. I haven’t had any interaction with Dre, or Ren, ever. It’s ironic because I was super hyped when Dr. Dre’s Beats 1 [show] promo was [Pusha T song] “Numbers On The Board.” I was like, “Aw, Dre probably got some kid [to do the promo] — how else would Dr. Dre know about Pusha T?” He’s such a huge figure, but to me, as far as my reach goes, he’s like a myth. You hear about him, you never see him — only on magazine covers. When something grandiose happens in the worlds of business or music, his name pops up. As far as me being a rapper, it just doesn’t happen, man. I was completely taken aback. I wanted to be Ren for that movie, actually.” (Billboard)
Pusha also talked about his interest in portraying MC Ren in the new box office hit.
“To me, Ren and N.W.A — I believe Ren wanted to fight me. That was what he gave off. His verses, his demeanor. His demeanor was like, “Yo, Imma hurt you, and I’m not playing any games.” It wasn’t over-the-top loud. It was just one of a person who, I felt like, didn’t play any games. I felt like I could’ve done that.” (Billboard)
The Pusha Man hopped onto his Instagram page to acknowledge the love Dre showed him with last week.

Interviewed by Top Dawg Entertainment’s Kendrick Lamar, both Ren and the Doc showered him and Pusha with co-signs last week.
As one of your offspring, anything I do comes from what y’all have done before me. I’m curious to know how you feel about my generation of artists.
MC Ren: I like a few. I like you.
Dr. Dre: You’re No. 1 on my list because of the care and attention you bring to your tracks and the precision you bring to your sound. There are a few people out there I listen to and respect.
MC Ren: Pusha T.
Dr. Dre: Definitely Pusha T.
MC Ren: I’m not saying this because you’re here, Kendrick, but I like your song “Cut You Off.” I’ve been listening to you for a minute. (Billboard)
