Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Pusha-T Being Shut Out Of "Cruel Winter"?

It seems as though ever since the Cruel Winter rumors began, Pusha-T has been at the center of the hearsay. But could Pusha actually be left out in the cold when it comes to being featured on the next G.O.O.D. Music compilation album? According to the man himself, Cruel Winter is a “Q-Tip and Kanye thing”. So does that mean he’s completely off the album?

Not quite! Check out what Pusha-T told DJ Semtex in a new interview from across the pond:

“The Cruel Winter man, I don’t know. I know there are other records. I don’t know personally about Cruel Winter that’s a Q-Tip / Kanye thing.”

“Q-Tip and Kanye have the conversations that I am not privy to those conversations. So like I come in and I rap and I do my verses and then I be out. They have the collective sit downs you know, the war of the mind thoughts and sh*t like that. He asked me to talk on it, I’m not sure. I don’t know.”

In the interview, Pusha also admits to recording 20 verses for Cruel Summer but having a number of those verses not making the album. Why? Well, because the G.O.O.D. Music team is so dope. Pusha breaks down each G.O.O.D. Music artist and their strengths. Pretty interesting stuff.
