Top 10 Videos Of The Week (May 12, 2013)
The visuals are still pouring in week after week. But that just means everyone is trying to throw their hat in the ring and give the people what they want. This week, we saw a good amount of R&B and alternative make their way into the Top 10 countdown, but don’t worry because we still kept it live with that fire for the streets.
Spitta outshined everyone, dropping 3 videos this week, but Wiz Khalifa was not far behind, making cameos in two and giving us one off Live In Concert. Even Kreayshawn snuck into the mix, linking up with The HBK Gang to direct a video.
Unfortunately, John Legend’s “Who Do We Think We Are” had to be omitted because YouTube removed it for violating terms of service. We still see you, J!
Check out our Top 10 Videos of the Week below.

Pusha T heated up the ‘net yesterday, when he dropped his brand new track “Numbers On The Boards” out of nowhere. Today Pusha stopped by MTV with Fabolous to promote their upcoming tour and to talk about how the release happened. He revealed that he didn’t know it was going to drop, but Kanye West called him 15 minutes before and told him he was going ahead with the drop, even without Def Jam’s permission.
Wow are we glad this all happened because he track has been in our rotation non-stop since it dropped! Remember, this is all leading up to the release of Pusha’s debut solo album My Name Is My Name, which is slated to drop later this year.

The Weekend Playlist (April 12, 2013)
The weekend is here, bitches! And you know what means? We’re going to be knee deep in some alcohol, awaiting good times (and hungover mornings). While we get ready for the Saturday and Sunday ratchetness, the soundtrack to our weekend will be crucial. This week was especially crazy, because we got big songs from Rap’s elite.
It never hurts to get a new song for Jay-Z, either. So that will continue in our rotation for days/weeks to come, as we set off today’s Weekend Playlist with that. We didn’t add too much R&B (and definitely no alternative) in this edition, so expect more rap than usual. Compton, Detroit, Brooklyn, North Carolina, and Los Angeles all represented.
Check out what our OnSMASH staff will be bumping this weekend, after the jump.

Pusha T – Numbers On The Boards
On the back of releasing his Wrath Of Caine mixtape back in January, Pusha T decides to let loose of a brand new track after the release of several videos this year already. Acting as a follow-up to Jay-Z’s “Open Letter” (according to Kanye West) this morning, we get the opportunity to listen to a hard-hitting track titled “Numbers On The Boards.” There’s no word yet on whether the single will appear on his forthcoming solo album My Name Is My Name just yet, but anything fresh from the G.O.O.D. Music camp is certainly something to kick up a fuss.

Click image to watch Pusha T interview with Hot 107.9 Philly video.
Pusha-Ton recently stopped by Hot 107.9 Philly to chop it up with Q Deezy about his debut studio album “My Name Is My Name.” The two started things off with discussing the album’s release date, which Push confirmed it’s still slated to release this summer. He’s currently waiting on ‘Ye to finish verses for its first official single “I Am,” so expect that to surface in the coming weeks.
He went on to name the producers on the album (Hit-Boy, Pharrell, The-Dream, Just Blaze and No I.D., to name a few) with guest appearances including Rozay, Future and two more artists he’s currently waiting for verses alongside Kanye West.
Q Deezy went on to ask Pusha T if he feels underrated and hasn’t gotten his due. Push opened up saying he feels him and his brother Malice still have the fans support after all of these years, which is the only thing that’s matters to them in comparison to any accolade.
The two closed out with MTV’s hottest MC list, and how Kanye named Wayne the hottest rapper something Pusha T wasn’t too fond of. Pusha briefly touched on list and felt every rapper should have at least have one quotable line and an album out; and understood why he didn’t make the final cut.
Check after the jump to watch the video interview that includes Pusha T speaking on the album and names out his current Top MC’s, including one interesting foe he still gave recognition to.
