Hit-Boy Clears Up Rumors Pusha T/Quentin Miller Collab Was A Subliminal Diss To Drake

WERE FANS JUST REACHING ON THIS ONE?

(AllHipHop News) After all the excitement over the Meek Mill versus Drake situation, it seems rap fans are thirsty for more back-and-forth action among performers. So much so, listeners were quick to speculate that the new Hit-Boy song “Bussin’ Moves” may have been a subliminal diss to Drake just because of the two artists that appear on the track.

“Bussin’ Moves” features longtime Drake rival Pusha T and reported Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller. The fact the two spitters were on the same record led to suggestions it was a way for King Push to send another shot at Drizzy (he famously called out Drake and Lil Wayne on “Exodus 23:1”).

However, Hit-Boy confirmed with Genius that there was no foul play involved in the combination of Pusha and Miller. The producer of platinum songs such as “Drop The World” and “N*ggas in Paris” explained Push’s bars were originally supposed to be for a cut on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer.

Hit-Boy noted:

This Pusha verse is actually from the original “Clique,” by Jay Z, Kanye and Big Sean that I produced. It was supposed to be on “Clique,” so this verse is three-years-old, but it’s f*cking ridiculous, flawless bars. Jus the flow and the way he’s in the pocket and the attitude about it. I threw the Pusha verse on that motherf*cka, then wrote the hook to it and then I did my verse. I felt like “Bussin’ Moves” was just a concept that made sense for how Pusha set it off.

Hit-Boy also addressed Quentin Miller’s placement on the song:

I’ve known Quentin since 2011, that’s been my homie since then, we’ve always communicated. We’ve been making records for basically this whole year. Way before the Drake sh*t, we were already connecting. We had already made a bunch of records with his WDNG CRSHRS group and I had made some solo stuff for him and we just been building.

He recorded this a couple of months ago, he probably did it end of June or mid-June. He recorded it for sure before the whole Drake thing.
