Complex gets a preview of Pusha Ton's 'Fear of God' tape and breaks it down song by song.
According to Complex's Insanul Ahmed, Fear of God features "a blend of original production and borrowed beats, and freestyles and full songs, topped off with plenty of shit talking." Clocking in at 13 songs, the tape features the likes of Kanye West, Pharrell, Kevin Cossom and 50 Cent, in addition to production from Nottz, the Neptunes and of course, 'Ye. One of the tape's highlights includes "I Still Wanna," an anthem to slinging keys that features Rick Rozay and Re-Up Gang partner Ab-Liva.
"No one has sold more kilos (on wax) than Rozay, so we’re gonna go ahead and say he’s the perfect fit for a track about how deep down inside, Pusha still wants to move keys," writes Ahmed. "For anyone who can’t get enough of Ross’ grunts, this track won’t disappoint since Ross grunts about five times during his verse and once during Pusha’s verse. Meanwhile, Pusha rhymes about how, 'I still wanna move kilos/That’s what happens when you Micheal and they treat you like you’re Tito'."
Yet perhaps one of the mixtapes more surprising tracks is the Nottz-produced "Open Your Eyes." According to Complex, not only is the song influenced by Diddy's braggadocio on Bad Boy's old mixtapes, but that it features Pusha Ton deading his his infamous beef with Lil Wayne and congratulating him on his release from prison.
"This song has two verses and no hook," wrote Ahmed. "Ziplock P rhymes about how Wesley Snipes was G’ed by this accountants and how he’s here to 'restore the feeling.' Pusha previously told us his ad-libs on songs were inspired by Puffy’s shit talking at the end of classic Bad Boy mixtapes, and there’s no shortage of shoutouts on this one. In fact, Push may or may not have deaded his beef with Wayne when he yells, 'FREE WEEZY! Congrats my nigga. Now let Tip go!'"
