Successionfans have begged for a rap remix ofthe shows opening themebasically since it premiered last summer.
Of course it had to be Pusha.
Pushas voice is like a missile!
Pusha T first heard aboutSuccessionfrom his manager, who said the rapper reminded him of Logan Roy.
He happened to meet Britell in Los Angeles, at a Pharrell recording session.
Pusha says he caught up onSuccessions first season and then Britell pitched him the remix.
I was like, How, I didnt even see it?!
So I tweaked some things because the lines were a bit too detailed.
I think [Nick] didnt want to ask me to redo anything.
Ordinarily, I probably wouldnt have.
But, I mean, the show is dope.
The result is exactly what youd want from Pusha T rapping over a track as good as theSuccessiontheme.
The title is Puppets, but its as much about the person pulling the strings.
(For the record, Push says he thinks Roman is the one to take over the company.)
OnSuccession, its involving family, its like,Whoa!Its a bit more shocking, Pusha says.
It was really just a dope exercise, honestly.
It also helped that Britell, who previously composedMoonlights chopped and screwed score, is a big hip-hop head.
My love of hip-hop, thats woven into the whole show.
To be more overt with it is great.
The fun of hip-hop is breaking shit apart and seeing what you might do with it.
