Pusha T: “I’m the Sole Reason Kanye Knows Chief Keef’s Music”

Posted by & filed under Hip Hop News.

You may remember earlier in the year when Kanye West and G.O.O.D Music remixed Chief Keef’s breakout single “I Don’t Like,” it was the ultimate co-sign for the young Chicago MC, even though Chief Keef doesn’t feel like Kanye West helped the record at all.

G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T says he’s the reason Kanye added some vocals to “I Don’t Like”.

“First of all, I am solely the reason that there’s a Chief Keef remix on [Cruel Summer],” Pusha insisted. I saw him on WorldStar. I never click Worldstar rappers but the [video] picture for some reason drew me. It was for ’3 Hunna.’ So I clicked on it and I called [manager Steven] Victor and I said ‘Victor I want to sign this kid. Go online and check this kid out. It’s authentic.’”

Pusha T was sold on Chief Keef because of his originality and authenticity. “That’s what I like about him. This isn’t Nas at 16.”

Pusha T’s manager Steven Victor didn’t believe Pusha T was serious and thus the deal never took place. Keef ultimately signed to Interscope Records.

So your telling me Chief Keef could have been under the G.O.O.D Music roster? Nah I don’t think that would have worked out.
