Pusha T "My Name Is My Name" Release Date & Cover Art

[Elano The One And Only]

Pusha T has released the cover art for his debut album My Name Is My Name.

The cover was generously unveiled by his labelmate and boss Kanye West, who posted it on Twitter. The album also has an alternative cover, which you can view below.

With features from Kanye West, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross and Pharrell, Pusha T's My Name Is My Name will be released October 8.

n a recent interview with HipHopSince1987, Pusha explained his title choice. "Basically, I was trying to pick a title that embodied who I am as an artist...and I wanted people to understand that Pusha is everything that I really, really am."

Pusha elaborated on the source of inspiration for his album title. "Actually, it's a line in 'Pain' where I actually say 'My name is my name.' And of course, that line comes from Marlo Stanfield in the series 'The Wire.' It's one of the more prominent catch phrases he said during the end of that series."

"He was just basically saying, 'I am who I am. This is what I got. I stand on my name. I live this,'" he explained. "And if you know anything about his character, he's young, brash, amongst a lot of heavyweights. But he didn't care about any of the past or history. He was like, 'Man, I'm out here to get my money at all costs. No rules, no regulations. I'm here to compete.' I just felt like that really embodied my presence in the Rap game."

I enjoy simple but graphically strong cover art but this one does not work well.
The alternative cover is much better.
Not sure what he is trying to express/communicate here either...

Identity (whether the execution is successful)


My name is my name, not the Orwellian imagery of a barcode

Too avant garde and clever for a simple guy like me.
Here is the cover I would have come up with:

I almost want to buy the edited version just to have the better cover and just download the explicit

Why spend your money on this ignorant jiggaboo?
Download the album and spend your money on a good book instead.
"A book of dreams" by Peter Reich for instance.

I've already bought all Clipse albums and anything else Pusha has released, might as well add this to the collection
