The first line of this write-up should be:

Pusha T’s debut album My Name Is My Name is doing better than most thought, thanks to his expectations as a Def Jam artist releasing an album chock full of big name features and producers being lowered so low it's laughable.

All this talk about Pusha T overperforming is like talking about how well special olympics kids are performing in events.

He's in the same exact system and building as Big Sean (who got clowned for flopping for selling basically the same exact # of records), has released run of the mill urban radio singles featuring the likes of Chris Brown, 2Chainz, and now Kelly Rowland...and likely won't even sell 150K copies before falling off the charts completely in a couple of weeks.
