Pusha T Gives You A Succession Primer In New Version Of Show's Theme

It only makes sense that if anyone were to remix Succession's instantly memorable theme song, it could be Pusha T who's been a large fan of the show. He's collaborated with composer Nick Britell for a bold remix of "Puppets" that'll work fantastic for the show about human vultures, corporation, and deception. Just ensure you put your pinky up before turning this one on.


The Succession theme has habitually been replace for a rapper to carve up its slow-moving percussive backbone and tinkling piano and, finally, Pusha T has stepped up to the plate. The original song has no words, leaving the show's intro credits to hint at the villainous ideas that the show portrays. Pusha-T's rendition is practically a primer for Succession, with the chorus itself literally being buzz words that define the show's themes: family member, fortune, envy, jealousy/Privilege, passed on legacy/Secret, sabotage, borderline felony/Suicide, subtract, selfish, pedigree."


Pusha T's one verse in the song is all about the deception and betrayal that comprise the show. Once your ain't your family members, And your legacy is just a name there," he raps. If all the characters were in a room with each other with this playing, there could be a lot of side-eyes going around.
