Pusha T. speaks on former G.O.O.D. Music Recording artist Consequence

Pusha T. of G.O.O.D. Music recently gave his opinion on Consequence and his allegations of Pusha T. jacking his rhymes.  Pusha T. describes the feud as "pathetic".

"I just think it's pretty pathetic, man.  It all boils down to royalty, and having certain principles.  Nobody maliciously tries to do anything.  This is a business, and sometimes things don't work --- some artists don't pop, but I don't think you blame the head of that crew for it, especially in a business like this, which is so self-sufficient.  It's really unfortunate, but what can you say?" 

Pusha T also added that no other former G.O.O.D. Music artist has lashed out in this sort of way.
"And might I add this is only one guy [acting this way]. I don't hear anything else about anybody else, and I've seen everybody, from Really D.O.E. (dropped) to GLC (dropped) ... I don't understand it at all," he added. "And if people really, really knew what I saw, like in Hawaii during the making of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, they'd be floored. People don't have a clue how inviting Ye was to everyone to contribute things to the album."
