Young Thug thread

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

thugger gay rumors seem to have stemmed from people confusing gang terminology for gay which is kinda lol in its own way

also i guess the wearing of womens clothes and sharing of romantic champagne toasts w his homies

doesnt seem to be purposely cultivating it tho a la lil b fwiw

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

I'm continually impressed by how good the Tonight Show makes most rappers sound. That is not easy.

don't get the buzz about the performance, but thugga's outfit is ++++

prob just excited to see their guy out there in the mainstream

not a great performance but he def brings some unusual energy just by being there

word

Young Thug with T.I. on the Tonight Show last night felt a little bit like his Busta does "Scenario" on Aresenio moment.

this is insane

Hah wtf

it was a fine performance... but naw

it felt like the quarterly scheduled "up-and-coming rapper people are excited about makes network TV debut on Jimmy Fallon" moment

no it was just like if busta rhymes if he wandered around the stage non-commitedly and rapped over his vocal tracks because stereogum

you have brain damage

somethin' wrong with the whiney

its like when all grandpa could say is BOXCAR except whiney yells the names of blogs he doesnt like

lol

co-lol

Still, Whiney otm tho

blangauge and old english are jams

anyone keeping track of what are the good thgger features?

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

lol

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

yeah theres a lot of dregs out there

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"

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

nice nice i knew someone out there was digging through those gucci tapes

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

prob mostly an issue of quality control at brick squad corp

yeah "Hot Boyz" has such a massive beat

Hot Boyz is great, and I've warmed to La Thugga Mane overall. But at this point I'm probably done checking out any "new" 1017 output from YT. He's pretty clearly off that label, so anything from them with his name on it is clearly leftovers.

^maybe my favorite song this year, kinda feels more like Young Thug f/ Migos tbh

Oh yeah "YRN" is like top 3

they aren't 'leftovers,' gucci recorded them ages ago and sat on them until young thug's buzz was up

"YRN" is tight, forgot about that for a second. nice chill track

"Lifestyle" brings me much joy when it comes on radio

one of my fav under-discussed thug hooks from this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVGMruqdDrQ

4 Eva Bloody, No Fucks, Florida Water are all good off that tape

remember not liking that tape at all, 1017 Thug and more relevant/recent Thugga Mane La Flare are both way better

still love "The Blanguage" and it'd be cool if they dropped Metro Thuggin soon, dunno what its current status is tho

black portland and the gucci tapes sound so bad mane
