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.

Kendricks a beast.
His appearance was def awkward. His verse was def below par -for him. Thought he killed push though

I'm not a big push fan, I can only take the drug dealer shit in doses. Very rarely do I find a track of his that I can bump on repeat. Kendrick is quite the opposite, very lyrically wellrounded content wise, flow is always unique to the track/instro imo. Where as push sounds the same over and over and over again, even worse is he's talking about the same shit. I don't like it

...allthough, I would have to agree with what cake said that death post above where cake is qouted.

Still... kendrick did his thing, lyrically and flow wise. Turn the video off and who shines more?
