Pusha T is continuing in his bid to dominate in the world of corporate diss tracks. Is that a world? It is now!He’s recorded a second diss track for US fast food chain Arby’s, this time taking aim at the McDonald’s McRib sandwich, which, if this song is to be believed, is really shit.
You’d be better off eating an Arby’s Real Country Style Rib Sandwich.

He’s miffed because he reckons that he
