Apparently, Pusha T has no desire to smooth things over with Lil Wayne any time soon.  The Clipse member sat down recently with Q Deezy over in Philly and discussed his music, his difference in taste of Hip Hop artists compared to Kanye West, MTV’s Hottest Mcs, and his beef with Lil Wayne.  Pusha shared some choice words when Q attempted to encourage a future collaboration with the YMCMB skateboarder that pretty much summed up exactly how he feels.

“I don’t want to see that though…I don’t want to see that…nah why?  You acting like this is Carter II Man…get out of here…all these people out here rapping good and you goin’ tell me you want to see me with…you disrespected me Q Dezzy…you going crazy!”

Sway and Kanye west

As discussions continue to play out over MTV’s yearly controversial Hottest MC’s List, Sway Calloway took the time to respond to Kanye’s recent comments made in regards to his current #7 spot.

Obviously annoyed, Kanye called HOT 97’s DJ Enuff and said, “I couldn’t believe it.  I gave Sway his first TV.  He came over to my crib in Newark, NJ.  I was living in Newark doing beats for Jay and Beans and all them and I was getting a new TV and I gave Sway his first TV….really I didn’t really want to even like call to talk about the #7 list.  I Just want to tell everybody that I gave Sway his first TV…and he needs to remember that.”

Sway recently took to his morning show Sway In The Morning on Shade 45 and said, “We made a master list, then we started debating.  Not everybody on the table agreed with every number of artist…whether you average it out or you do the voting….this is where it comes…this is our list….that’s why it’s only people from MTV.”  Be sure to tune in today at 4 p.m. EST. to Sway’s Rap Fix show streamed live at RapFix.MTV.com to catch a glimpse of Kanye’s previous TV that will sit in and co-host the show alongside Sway.  Special guests today will include Lil Kim, Talib Kweli and of course Ye’s old TV.

UPDATE: Sway is currently live with Talib Kweli & Kanye’s TV.  S/O Rob Markman.
