Whereas in Kendrick's portion of the video you focus on everything besides Kendrick's theatrics, when Pusha is on the screen he is the only thing. His charisma is real. When he waves his hands you're captivated. When he starts mimicking chopping up his favorite subject you can't take your eyes off the hands. The lyrics just accent his presence. As he walks he seems bigger than everything; the cars, houses, the street itself.

Kendrick can be ignored. The star of Kendrick's portion of this video is still Pusha.

This song, and video, should have stopped at 1:35 and just served as the calling card of a legend owed his dues.
