One of the more bizarre songs I've ever heard in that Pusha's verse is him doing a 'conscious' verse but complaining about it the whole time

'Speaking my truth in rhyme, no matter how bland it is'
'I’m role-playing a conscious nigga and true is true'
'My critics finally have a verse of mine to jerk off to'

Good song and a good verse, but I thought it was funny that he was protesting the idea of the song while doing a brutally honest/conscious verse

Any other songs where the artist drops in clues that he or she is protesting that their hand is being forced a bit (even though the end product is dope)?

It's a blatant kiss off to the labels on one level, but a very traditional pop love song on another.
