In September 2010, Pusha T signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music imprint, under the aegis of Def Jam Recordings. Later that year, he was featured on West's single "Runaway," which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, he released his first solo project, the mixtape Fear of God, which was followed up with his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, released in 2013. In November 2015, West appointed Pusha T to take over his role as president of GOOD Music. Pusha T remained a flagship artist for the label until ending his tenure with the company in 2022.
Pusha T has since then released three solo albums: King Push β Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude (2015), Daytona (2018), and It's Almost Dry (2022), all receiving widespread critical acclaim; the latter was Pusha T's first number one debut on the Billboard 200.
Untouchable
Pusha T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600
Untouchable, uncrushable
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600
Yuugh, I drops every blue moon
To separate myself from you kings of the YouTube
I am more U2, I am like Bono with the Edge
Legend has it, the wrist is magic
The left is Patek, Philippe's replaced by Matsuhisa
Ignore most requests for the feature
Unless it's getting played on the beach in Ibiza
While she fucking Nesha, she sucking shisha
Can't you see my Total; Pam, Kima, Keisha
I'm aiming for the moguls, why y'all niggas aiming at the locals?
And rap niggas broke like them, they're mere hopeful
Still wishing on a star
The last one to find out that Baby owns the cars
The final trilogy of Jaws
The grills like, interior gauze
It feels like, still white
Matching Missoni looks African on me
They tryin' pin the trafficking on me like Mano and Tony
My thoughts spilling over
The soft ceiling's open, I Cross-Fit the coca
Yuugh! It's a different calisthenics when I do the Lennox
Half a million paralleled and ain't nothin' rented
Yeah, wearing Dri-Fit in my shit
It rides a little better in the cockpit
Untouchable, uncrushable
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600
Untouchable, uncrushable
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600
Mu told me to switch styles
He just came home from the Feds like a mistrial
He tells me I miss out on all that club money, I don't bounce
Adidas gave me a million and that don't bounce
The president of G.O.O.D. Music has been announced
A quarter million a year and that don't bounce
I'm in the score of these movies, I'm losing count
Mu you knew me from thirteen hundred an ounce
My breakdown game bought me '8 Mile' fame
Selling M&Ms to him and 'em
White to the Blacks I'm a villain in
The Rolls Royce, playing peek-a-boo with the emblem
Let's talk about it gentlemen
My barcode is Netflix "Narcos"
Part on the side of my 'fro like I'm Pablo
No hablo, I sell blow
Lone wolf, no Tonto, head honcho
Yuugh, let's take the scenic route
I could show you the strange fruit
It's looking like Beirut
They open the wash bay, I climb it like K2
These kilos are drought killers, I flooded the Jesus
I made use
Of every Spanish name I done ran across
No matter what the weight, I done ran it off
I'm walking on water, I took the sandals off
Tell A&E to turn the cameras off, Push
Untouchable, uncrushable
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600
Untouchable, uncrushable
Blunted in a 600, blunted in a 600

Pusha T's flow is probably one of the most intricate and calculated in the rap world in the last 10 years, starting with Clipse and transitioning to his solo material.

UnrealesedTrakz one of the best rappers alive
MrRainbowUnicornMan
Aesop Rock's version of this song would beg to differ
MrRainbowUnicornMan
Sensei Buddy Untouchable - Aesop Rock
Cbchansey
@MrRainbowUnicornMan yeah but aesop rock is so needlessly complex it's really hard to actually listen to some of his music. Pusha mastered cold, vicious lyrics that chill you in the vein of prodigy or big (long kiss goodnight, who shot ya, what's beef), PLUS lyrical content. He's way more of a balanced artist that aesop.
lordofgiovanni
MrRainbowUnicornMan pusha T and Aesop Rock are my top two sooooo
Jeremy B
It's 2021 and I'm still bumping Pusha like it was 9-10 yrs ago....PUSH!!!
