Pusha T Explains The Difference Working With Pharrell And Kanye West
Pusha T describes the difference between Pharrell and Kanye West in working experience. Pusha T has been working with hip-hop’s most influenced producers during his career.
In a recent interview with Le Black Et La Pume, Pusha T discusses the differences between both Pharrell and Kanye West.
Pusha T explains by saying that while Skateboard P has his beats already pre-made, Kanye West builds the full production around the verse. Pusha T even stated that both producers are perfectionists and hit-makers in their own ways.
“Kanye West, a lot of times, he gives me the skeleton of a beat,” he said. “He’ll play either a sample or he’ll play me like, just an idea and he’ll ask me to write a verse to what I like in that idea…I’ll lay that verse down on that part of the beat, and then he takes the record and creates around my verse, versus Pharrell, a lot of times, I’ll go into the studio and he already has the beat, and then I lay a verse to the beat and it’s a done deal.”
He added, “Both of these guys are perfectionists in their own right. Pharrell, I think he works a little bit off of feeling, and I think Kanye is a master of structure and a master of tapping in to knowing what people are going to reaction to and respond to. He’s really like a hit-maker and and having that knowledge of what’s going on in America and…the world and exploiting that.”
