"I am feverishly,” Pusha T says during an interview with Billboard. "I love that word so much these days. I am feverishly trying to finish King Push, and get some music out this month. It's a real easy thing -- just a couple different pieces that I feel like need to be in place.”
The Virginia Beach, Virginia rapper says that touring impacts his recording process.
"When you make albums like I do, and it's based off fanfare and based off touring -- I make these albums and I get on the road,” he says. "It's not really a radio-driven thing. I get on the road and I see my fans and I touch each and every last one of them. I do that for however long it takes. Then we start the process all over again, making music. So sometimes there's lag time.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Pusha T says the title track of N.W.A’s 1990 100 Miles And Runnin’ EP is his favorite song from the Compton, California group.
"The energy of that video was like, everything to me,” Pusha T says. "They just really articulated everything that I thought, while living on the extreme polar opposite coast, directly across from Los Angeles, California in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I didn't know what to expect over there, but they made me see the vision. I felt like whatever N.W.A said was law. When I looked at those videos, and saw them running from the police, I might have thought they were really running from the police. I was a child, and I was so engulfed -- I was in a trance, looking at this. They sold it to me. They sold it. They sold everything to me. They could have recorded those records last week, and they would be just as true.”
Straight Outta Compton, the biopic focusing on the emergence of N.W.A in the late 1980s and early 1990s, earned more than $60 million last weekend, making it the #1 film in the country.
Just like that No more again Ain`t no respect Falling back in pain
Baby, What I can say Maybe it`s too late I`m on my way And feeling just stayed
Pressure is so huge I got no chance But I`m ready to contribute So dirty my hands
I tried to regret My mind stands back I will never forget How much I withstand
I die making it perfect Keep digging the land The kernel is burnt Another effort is dead
Let me work and protect All I have a pure lack I`m getting upset Crying after making new mistake
My aim must understand Every one calls me insane I can lose the game Because I have a main blame
But I follow my way Where my ego takes place No second orlast Only on top with grace
Hook
I`ll be able to stand to handle it more Than any men, I just give a damn What you said that I can`t I`m prepared with all my strength Yes, I can I stand
I`ll be able to stand to fight like a man I just give a damn What you said that I can`t I`m prepared with all my strength Yes, I can I stand And nobody can prevent
Prepared means handle That`s not fare If I give a sample Where is my glare That I can get it mental
Next upper level I`ll be more dependent I deserve a heaven No more than any angel
One more spare I get a super scandal I`m ready to declare it`s bigger dental And I Hate that my step is fatal
New day started I`m already angry I`m kind-hearted, but it`s over my penalty I`m so desperate, my dream is fantasy It`s already dead and I can`t resurrect it
Getting outside bring no inspiration Maybe I must hide, there`s no perfection I`m so damn lazy my tired body blazing Actting like a baby, sound too crazy I hate it
Hook
Talking to myself through the mirror Can I get a help, wanna be a hero Yesterday I fell my result was zero For tomorrow got a plan to be different figure
If you not able then squeeze the apple Until it cracks like a broken panel Take another example when it touches the battle We deserve a heaven when it`s time to settle
I be stable like steel and hot metal Hard to crackle not as screwed anckle My skin getting hazel, I see how we rankle It`s too much vandal, you never do it gentle
Just in general I want to grabble Looking for a new navel It`s way to be more faithful And less hateful Here`s my paddle which can be helpful
VladTV got a chance to catch up with Krayzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone and Wi$h Bone to discuss how they got their start and their relationship with the legendary Eazy-E. Though the outspoken N.W.A. member succumbed to complications from AIDS well over 20 years ago, the members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony continue to keep his legacy going, as he was the one to help with their mainstream success.
"We was a handful in the beginning," Krayzie Bone remembers. "One night everything is regular and then by the end of the week - the week it came out - Eazy [-E] was calling us telling us we had the number one song on the radio," he recalls when asked about the group's breakout track, "Thuggish Ruggish Bone." Eazy-E signed the Cleveland artists to Ruthless Records in 1993, and the crew was there for all the mishaps that went on around the time, including when N.W.A.'s former manager, Jerry Heller, was fired.
Backtracking to Eazy-E again, the members were asked if they believe he truly died from AIDS, to which they still remain skeptical about to this day - Wi$h Bone says it was "real sudden," especially since he still looked to be in tip-top shape until his demise. "Just rationally thinking, something had to go on," he concludes.

Amber Rose was unwittingly helping an unscrupulous escort service recruit women for prostitution.
According to TMZ, the company used an Instagram ad looking for models that said Amber would be the lead person picking them.
Once the models showed interest, the ruse was made even more believable when the women were told they would get to FaceTime with Amber. The company used old footage from Amber's Ustream to convince the women.
The ultimate goal was to lure the women into a prostitution ring.
Amber was never involved in any of this.
The LAPD got involved when one of the women went to them to report what she was being asked to do. The police are now investigating.

On October 21, 2014, he was convicted of culpable homicide -- killing her unintentionally but unlawfully. He was sentenced to a maximum of five years and a concurrent three-year suspended prison sentence for a separate reckless endangerment conviction.

The South African state legal team has filed an appeal, objecting to the original verdict.
TheAFP News Agencyinterviewed South African citizens about Pistorius' pending release, all were dismayed at his light sentence.
"It comes across as justice not being served or that this is rich man's justice," said Charles Leonard, News editor of the Guardian and Mail. "That a rich person can get out much quicker, much easier."
"I don't think it's right. I think he deserves to stay in prison because what he did was murder," said high school student Cara Lethbridge. "The fact that he's being let loose so soon is not fair.

"Something In My Heart" songstress, Michel'le, got up with us here at VladTV and spoke on the movie "Straight Outta Compton," the biopic about N.W.A. she doesn't get portrayed in it. "Why would [Dr.] Dre put me in it?" she ponders, as they were in a abusive relationship for many years.
