Beats Quote by Pusha T
“To me it's just the knock, man. It's the knock and the groove of the beat. When I start a song, it's the first thought. It's the first thought and the first cadence, because that's the most natural. You know what I'm saying? I feel like people can feel when something is natural.”

![“I was in Paris, when Kanye [West] was doing his line and I stopped like, "Woah why are you doing womenswear and why do you think you can do it?" He was like, "Why? You don't know what you like to see women in?" I was like, "Yea but still women are so intricate."” quote by Pusha T](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d00/pusha-t-4455_can-do_i-was-in-paris-when-kanye-west-was-doing_308034.jpg)
