THE PURPLE ALBUM I mean. It's got a v funny mood going on, like that

Prefer the White Album with Peewee Longway, who has been sounding like a better version of Young Thugh for a lot of the year.
1017 Thug 2 is pretty OK, too—strong hooks and coherent verses all over that one—but it feels like Thugga is really beginning to suffer for lack of quality control and orderly management this year.

Well I heard he got actually signed to someone, that might help. Thanks for tip, I should hear this White Album
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link
i thought he had nothing to do with 1017 thug being put out?
hope he can sort his situation out soon

weird to blame the guy for people putting out music outside of his control

tpp do you mean 1017 2?
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link
yeah sorry. still want to know the thought process that led to photoshopping thug's head onto wiz' body
― out here like a flopson (tpp), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
since the first '1017 thug' no tape has been released with thugga's consentment. Just wait for metro thuggin.
― sisilafami, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:02 (nine years ago) link
No blame assigned; I just said he's suffering for it. He could really use one marquee release this year to capitalize on his buzz, but instead he's got every person he's ever worked with watering down his brand with odds and ends mixtapes
― Evan R, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:23 (nine years ago) link
tried 1017 thug 2 and still can't get into his music at all and haven't really been following his career but is dude actually gay? or on some lil b shit
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
pretty sure on some Lil B shit
― nova, Thursday, 17 July 2014 05:24 (nine years ago) link
as much as i appreciate Lil B's name being used as a shorthand for disingenuous 'gay rapper' controversy baiting, that conversation really seemed foisted on Young Thug from the outside
― some dude, Thursday, 17 July 2014 10:25 (nine years ago) link
thugger gay rumors seem to have stemmed from people confusing gang terminology for gay which is kinda lol in its own way
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 August 2014 11:04 (nine years ago) link
also i guess the wearing of womens clothes and sharing of romantic champagne toasts w his homies
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 August 2014 11:05 (nine years ago) link
doesnt seem to be purposely cultivating it tho a la lil b fwiw
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 August 2014 11:06 (nine years ago) link
he might actually be gay tho idk
Young Thug with T.I. on the Tonight Show last night felt a little bit like his Busta does "Scenario" on Aresenio moment.

mostly impressed by T.I. tbh
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 8 August 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
I'm continually impressed by how good the Tonight Show makes most rappers sound. That is not easy.
― Evan R, Friday, 8 August 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
don't get the buzz about the performance, but thugga's outfit is ++++
― een, Saturday, 9 August 2014 03:20 (nine years ago) link
prob just excited to see their guy out there in the mainstream
― lag∞n, Saturday, 9 August 2014 08:56 (nine years ago) link
not a great performance but he def brings some unusual energy just by being there

it felt like the quarterly scheduled "up-and-coming rapper people are excited about makes network TV debut on Jimmy Fallon" moment
― some dude, Sunday, 10 August 2014 19:43 (nine years ago) link
no it was just like if busta rhymes if he wandered around the stage non-commitedly and rapped over his vocal tracks because stereogum

anyone keeping track of what are the good thgger features?
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 14:35 (nine years ago) link
He seems to raise his game for the big tracks, but most of the mixtapes are 90% filler (as expected) slightly overrated, like 1027 thug, isn't as good as made out in here. YT however, is better than thread gives credit for. Most interesting rapper in years, probably.

yeah gets people way more hype than "Lifestyle" gotta say
these 1017 Thug sequels are Brick Squad/Atlantic putting out old stuff he's recorded right? Not 100% on his label situation. Def. nowhere near the original tho
― nova, Monday, 1 September 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link
yeah theres a lot of dregs out there
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
metro thuggin shd be nice if that ever comes out

i like casino's "communication" which is obv really a young thug song
best young thug i've heard recently is "idk why"
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link
Skyfall is boring but i like mike will's 'take a picture'—does that sorta spacious let-thugger-be-thugger much more effectively imo
i've liked a bunch of tracks on the gucci collab tapes although they're more album tracks than Singles. I think people have been hating on them because they're not "Stoner" / "Danny Glover" level but IMO that's more essential for showing his depth as an artist, that he's not just a singles jukebox. but you know how it is w/ people chasing whatever's hot, there's not depth or nuance to the understanding of an artist
"Hot Boyz (Intro)" is good
"Texter" was cool ... "Let Up"... "Strange Things"..."You The Best" ... "Ridin Around the City"...those are the ones i remember off the top
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 20:05 (nine years ago) link
nice nice i knew someone out there was digging through those gucci tapes
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 20:09 (nine years ago) link
at some point i'll go through and do a better separation. tbh they are pretty inconsistent. young thug is def super duper hit or miss. but when he hits its like better than anything
