    Pusha T paints a vivid picture of the things he knows best throughout My Name Is My Name.

    My Name Is My Name is a remarkable and vital solo debut.

    Pusha T is at the top of his game with sharply defined autobiographical tales and defiant, self-aware verses. He often dazzles with his smooth, cold-blooded flow and connects on virtually every song.

    Pusha T accomplishes a lot here, crafting a record that is big in concept but is still rooted in the longstanding hip-hop tradition that lyricism is king.

    The album is an amalgamation of his past trade and his current, and as is fitting for an album from a man whose past is as powdery white as a Colorado winter, it’s dope.

    A trio of high-profile tracks near the end of MNIMN offer the best of both worlds in terms of Pusha T catering to the Top 40 crowd and still supplying the uncut raw fans expect.... Sadly these moments are inconsistent and broken up by generally ill-fitting production.

    Set in the more commercial contexts of Kelly Rowland features and the-Dream's fluorescent R&B, he can sound like a fish out of some pretty expensive water.

    Great songs for cruising late at night with our lights off. Incredible, well worth the long wait. As stated before me there is not much to be disappointed with here. Production is top notch, feels like a classic mid 90's kinda album.… Expand

    Maravilhoso álbum, me lembra um pouco o My Beuatiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kanye West definitivamente um ótimo produtor executivo. Primeiro o foi Love In The Future, agora MNIMN… Expand

    Production is top notch and Pusha's lyrics are amazing as well. Only thing I can complain about is Who I Am. I feel that the song is out of place on the album. However, Pusha seems to bring the best out of 2 Chainz and Big Sean.… Expand

    Pusha T showed his fans that this album was worth the wait, All the songs to "King Push" to "S.N.I.T.C.H." have amazing production and i can see why this took more then a year. I especially loved "Suicide" Ab-Liva and this song itself made me more then happy because it had that Clipse feel.
    One of the hip hop albums all year.    … Expand

    Quality album from the Clipse member. I have always thought his voice and delivery is perfectly matched. Additionally, Kanye's production is on point as well. However, his lead singles before the album was released are probably the strongest. Numbers on the Board was insane and Nastalgia with K.Dot leading the pack in my opinion, SNITCH to be mentioned as well. Not the tightest lyrics in my opinion and too many appearances for a first album.… Expand
