He zeroed in on that track, Hovey Baby, from the Blueprint, two back in 2002, calling it a game-changer that had him straight shook. Pusha said it mixed raw brag talk with deep philosophy, like Jay tap dancing on the beat with unmatched skill. He also shouted out Jay's ability to voice the struggles of Black youth during the crack era, especially on a lure, hitting every angle of street. Life. Pusha feels Jay spoke for a whole generation caught in that a lure, making his words hit universal for anyone living in. That praise comes as Jay lands on the Times list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters. Their history runs deep too, with collabs like drug dealers anonymous, so appalled, and neck and wrist showing mutual respect in the game.
