G.O.O.D. Music vs. OVO: Who’s Winning June (So Far)?
With new music from Drake, Kanye West, Pusha T and DJ Khaled, who’s dominating hip-hop this month?
Six days into June and there’s been a whirlwind of new music–but there are two camps dominating the streams and soon soundwaves: G.O.O.D. Music and OVO Sound. There’s alway been competition between team leaders Kanye West and Drake, mostly brotherly than anything else, but it seems like this summer it’ll intensify as G.O.O.D. Music preps Cruel Summer follow-up, Cruel Winter, and solo albums by Pusha T, Travis Scott, Big Sean, and more. Here’s how both camps did when going head to head.
G.O.O.D. MUSIC
Pusha T featuring Jay Z, “Drug Dealers Anonymous”
Pusha T kicked kicked off a streak of singles from the G.O.O.D. camp with the Jay Z-assisted “Drug Dealers Anonymous.” Both Pusha and Jay keep it real about their drug dealing days over eerie production courtesy of DJ Dahi; Jay spits deadly autobiographical verses while simultaneously weaving in timely references (“Damn Daniel”) and addressing timely issues (a sip of Lemonade). To the haters, he delivered. The cherry on top was Jay addressing the ignorance spilled by The Blaze’s Tomi Lahren when rapping “Fourteen-year drug dealer and still counting / Who deserves the domed of freedom is my accountant / He been hula hooping though loop holes, working around shit.”
