Few other rappers have command of similes and metaphors like Pusha T. His ability to describe the same thing (selling drugs) in endless ways is one of the many reasons he’s among the best emcees doing it right now.
However, yesterday we learned that Pusha Ton’s writing skills are not limited to coke raps. The founder of the ad agency who worked on McDonald’s “I’m Loving It” jingle revealed that it was actually Pusha T who penned those now-famous lines, not Pharrell. So that got us thinking, what would have happened if King Push decided to dedicate his rhymes to the Golden Arches instead of the white after Clipse broke up?
It's Friday, so we decided to have a little fun with the idea. We picked out 10 Pusha T drug rap lines and re-imagined them as fast food rap.
