As a writer, you have a huge ego. You think that every line means something to everybody the same way it means to you. And that's not true.

I find myself trying to explain more, and explain the perspective of my mentality, or the mentality I'm trying to convey.

For me, being a rap fan and the nostalgia of me being a kid, rappers and guys on the street told me everything to wear. That was it. I didn't necessarily read too many fashion books. Then it got competitive in junior high school. It was moreso about, "You don't got these." Everybody could be fresh, but you don't got these.

Today I feel like it's about people just looking fresh and their records aren't fresh.

Sitting with the woman of your dreams and forgetting what her name is.

The thing that I realize about fashion now, fashion and music, now versus back then is that you had to have fresh records and be fresh.

Adidas has invested so much into this collab and into me. It'd be easy for any brand, with some of the spearheads that they have in their roster, just to say, "We got this guy and that guy over there, the Pusha T thing can just be - eh." But they haven't spared any expense, they've let their creativity run wild, and it really makes me feel that I'm a part of a family. It makes me feel like they enjoy watching the growth of Pusha T.
