Pusha T says he has no patience or tolerance for liars in life or in his profession.
Pusha T, the rapper behind this year's My Name Is My Name, recently spoke about his passion for truth during an interview published on Noisey's YouTube account, presented by Dr. Martens.
"At this stage in my life, my patience and my tolerance are at an all-time low," Pusha T says in the video clip. "I have no room for voluntary lies. My whole life is surrounded around business. Anything that is untrue essentially jeopardizes my business and my take on it. I run into it all the time, lies and liars, constantly in this profession...I'm a very straightforward person."
During the interview, Pusha T said that he's always been an advocate for the truth.
"It's always been instilled in me to talk straight," Pusha says. "That's just all I'm about right now. Speaking truthfully is just the only way to go. And it's always gonna be the easiest way to go. You shouldn't worry about how people are gonna take things. Just tell them the truth. That's their job to deal with it."
Pusha T's My Name Is My Name was released in October.
During an interview with HipHopSince1987 before the album's release, Pusha spoke about the album title's significance, a reference that came from Marlo Stanfield's character in the television series "The Wire."
"It's one of the more prominent catch phrases he said during the end of that series," Pusha said. "He was just basically saying, 'I am who I am. This is what I got. I stand on my name. I live this.' And if you know anything about his character, he's young, brash, amongst a lot of heavyweights. But he didn't care about any of the past or history. He was like, 'Man, I'm out here to get my money at all costs. No rules, no regulations. I'm here to compete.' I just felt like that really embodied my presence in the Rap game."
