Young Thug thread

time for some research...

*googles 'bisexual young thug'*

It would be really cool, but doesn't he have a line like 'no homo / two times: no homo' on 1017 Thug? I remember because I was annoyed.

He also has like three lines about being a martian. If Lil Wayne's said it, he's probably said it, too.

loooool tpp

oooh, I just got it. lol.

he def says no homo on that tape

Future signed him, right?

there's a bunch of talk about him maybe going to Freebandz but it seems unconfirmed atm

This Bloody Jay mixtape is rough. The Freebandz era begins inauspiciously.

of the half dozen or so tracks that leaked i didn't think any of them sounded spectacular but i gotta listen to the tape

the tape is really good imo (exept the sound quality)

yeah it's sounding good to me

but then i'm feeling more positively towards weaker thugger joints now that he's taking off

The mix to me is code for "don't take this too seriously because we clearly didn't." But if I wasn't sold on Bloody Jay before I'm definitely not now

I like what Ive heard so far.

"But if I wasn't sold on Bloody Jay before I'm definitely not now"

me too

"4 eva bloody" is amazing

his lyrics on this song are bonkers

i got a black gun with a red beam
a red car, it drip clean

the best thing about Black Portland is that it's only 11 tracks long

@YoungThugWorld 12h
Ok ok who ready for my tape?? If you ready the title and the date , tell everybody to RT this now...

Glad he has a real project in the pipeline. Maybe this one will even be mastered.

Also hoping the overzealous press didn't blow their Young Thug coverage on Black Portland. Seems like there was such a rush to jump on this dude's train that pubs didn't care they were slathering inordinate attention on an undistinguished, inconsequential tape. They just needed to make up for not covering "Donald Glover" the first time around.

ack, Danny Glover. Yuck, sorry.

lol

was gonna say, it feels like Donald Glover has gotten his fair share of coverage, ha

Anybody who knocked Drake for flow jacking on the "Versace" remix has ceded their right to breathlessly praise Nicki Minaj's "Danny Glover" remix

:D

The world didn't need another "call me [name of celebrity or pop culture character]" song, but this one is good. Best Lex Luger track I've heard in a while

yeah good track

Not sure how deliberate it was, but a funny, weirdly hyper guy who convinces uptight people he's gay so he can have lots of sex is an understandable character for Young Thug to relate to. (Plus Three's Company is just an underrated show in general.)

haha

i'm annoyed that the whole premise of the song is he has 3 girls when Jack Tripper had 2 girls, though

maybe Young Thug has only seen season 5

The season where both Terri and Cindy Snow filled in for Suzanne Somers' character? Amazing.

Jack usually had a woman in his apartment in addition to his roommates, so that would make three. But I dunno; I like that I can't make the logic square. Also I like that this track essentially makes PeeWee Longway Larry, the show's secret-best character

Young Thugga Mane La Flare drops April 1. First song is really good; solid verses from both Gucci and Thug

only got around to checking 1017 Thug recently but there's some dope songs on there, but then I dig autotune Weezy more than others so it makes sense I'd like this. was kinda loling how dude basically sounds like a drugged-up Drake on the "Yeah Yeah" hook though

new "Blanguage" track is cool, especially in comparison to the insufferable Drake song

well this kinda bummed me out http://www.buzzfeed.com/naomizeichner/young-thug-trapped-major-label-deal

Awesome reporting. My guess is that none of these contracts hold him back much, especially when there's so much money to be made for all parties involved. It's not a Mary J Blige exclusive contract with Sea World scenario.

the most fucked up part about that is that the "savior" in his life is birdman, who is notorious for fucking every single one of his artists -- including his "son" -- out of royalty money

chance the rapper's situation is an interesting comparison to this

otm re birdman, fd up world

Thugger's Wayne fixation is borderline creepy. I still love him though.

What IS Chance's situation? It seems even more confusing than Thug's.

One thing this does shed light on is these quasi-major label Kevin Gates albums, which are really good but don't seem to get promoted or heard beyond his existing fanbase, so I can't fault Thug for trying to get out of that.

Not entirely true, the latest Gates record doubled the 1st week sales of his last. They're going for a slow grind i think

Chance's situation isn't confusing at all afaik; he simply hasn't signed

So, how long before APG completely rebrands? lol

Chance's situation is confusing in the sense that I can't even tell if he's planning to sign or what shape his next project will take. Which is kinda cool, but still.

I hope Gates's strategy is building to a really good career but I fear it won't, don't think anything is a given right now.

Thug's Weezy fixation makes sense given he's essentially a more batshit version of him no? reductionist but still

wish I liked "Stoner," heard that on radio first time yesterday

chance is super interesting because i do feel like he's at the point where he could drop a single and do real numbers with no label
