“I want to fuck the world/ But not a fan of using condoms…”
“Who else can put the hipsters with the felons and thugs?”
Those who’ve missed those deadpan Clipse rhymes over the Neptunes’ brooding production are in for a treat with “Trouble On My Mind,” the first drop from Pusha T’s Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray.
Tyler the Creator’s love of the Clipse-Neptunes albums can clearly be heard in his own work, so he’s at home rhyming over the production’s dirge-like pacing. Tyler is in “Yonkers” mode and even recycles some of the lines from his most famous song. Pusha acknowledges his link up with Odd Future may seem off on paper, but cites their passion for music as the uniting force (“Two different worlds, same symmetry/In this black art see the wizardry…”). Outside of the chorus being somewhat stilted, there’s not much to complain about here.
A few months back, Tyler took to Twitter to criticize some of the beats on Fear of God, longing for the days when Pusha and Malice exclusively used the Neptunes for their lyrical drug game parallels. From the sound of this, Tyler knew what he was talking about. “Trouble On My Mind” hits iTunes on July 12. Fear of God 2 will be available on August 23.
