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

no excuse for that

yea i hated black portland

I don't think Gucci collab is A+ but it's got some jams

YRN, best song this year.

smokewaymoreweedthanaguyinLA

organ on "About the Money" is dope

man, hot boyz intro, yrn, are terrible lol. as is a lot of this guys raps. he needs some serious guidance and get away from that fool gucci.

sock

im really into the lifestyle video

lifestyle and yrn are both pretty big departures for thugger beatwise

lifestyle is so good

ya its very triumphant

i fucked and then wiped down my dick with the curtains inside of the phantom lol

i hate that line and don't think that song is very good

young thug explicitly remaking drake songs is... not the road he should travel

no way that line is delightful and hilarious

thats a kool g rap line

sort of

i think it probably dates back to old comedy records or some shit like that tbh

did they have phantoms in rap then

they had curtains

curtains date back a long way, almost to the beginning

NP Young Thug "Curtains"

now that's a great song

Does the name "Young Thug" and "I Came From Nothing" both come from the first Jeezy album?

couple of years ago i was travelling around morocco with only ICFN2 on my phone to listen to. eating hash cakes on the beach in essaouira listening to 'haitian slang'. fucking weird, honestly

yeah i love blanguage. maybe in part just because it's one of the few CDQ tracks where you can really soak up his voice in high fidelity. the way the beat/flow switches going into the 'banana boat/cantaloupe' bit is just the greatest.

most of my favs mentioned but i've also been into

is lifestyle getting radio play? it's so fucking great

i've heard it on the radio so the big dog timmy is playing it at least

lol

yeah it's a legit billboard hit in america
