Pusha T — better known these days as “The Supreme Minister of Diss” (or often just “Pusha-T,” depending on how lazy you wanna get with the hyphen key) — is up to his old tricks again. This time, though, King Push isn’t going after such an easy target as former high school basketball phenom James “Jimmy” Brooks with his high-powered diss-beams. No; this time his target is a little bigger, a little hotter, and a lot more phallic in shape. That’s right: Push is throwing shade on the entire state of Florida (including those good-for-nothing Keys!) by announcing “The DAYTONA Tour”…without a single show in a one-state radius of Daytona Beach! He’s really gone too far with his signature disrespectful invective this time!
I mean, consider how BOLD this man is. He’s got two events in Michigan — MICHIGAN! I mean, does anyone even live in Grand Rapids?! Not to mention that four of the concerts are in House of Blues-es across the country. You know who has a House of Blues? ORLANDO, FLORIDA! Ever heard of it? Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, the Lockheed Martin manufacturing facility?? It’s not as if the rapper is allergic to beach sand or suffers from an irrational fear of sunlight, either, because he’s totally playing Myrtle Beach! How could you do the Sunshine State like this, Push?!
In case you’re worried no one is safe from this man’s wrath (and I don’t blame you!), let me point out that G.O.O.D. Music signees Valee and Sheck Wes are joining the insult-rap mastermind on his tour. If you’re eager to see Pusha T’s unique brand of slanderous genius, you can check out all those non-Daytona-related dates below (or you can always grab his latest album DAYTONA here). Okay, I’m gonna go hole-up in my diss-track-proof bunker before Push sees this shit. Let me know when the resulting shitstorm blows over…
