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.

also 'hookah' is song of the year

"Lifestyle" peaking just as summer weather finally arrives just feels so right. Great driving song.

yeah "Treasure" is top 5 Thugger imo. A couple more of my favorites lately

OMG is kinda like a weaker 'fight night' right?
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link
"OMG" is the one song where i think he sounds too much like a spongebob character
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:35 (nine years ago) link
i think we should talk about what makes his music bad when it's bad, bc while we are largely fans the polarized online argument of 'the only rapper worth hearing' vs. 'destroying the culture' is wholly ruining the enjoyment of young thug for me
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link
on the contrary i feel like a lot of the "destroying the culture" arguments lobbed at young thug are as homophobic as any rapper since..... kanye? that makes me like young thug a lot more
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:49 (nine years ago) link
i almost feel like the stylistic war regarding young thug-type rappers has been ceded by the conservatives and that it's actually more acceptable to argue against young thug (or lil b) on subtextually homophobic grounds

there are plenty of people who just think he sucks as a rapper w/out needing a homophobic subtext

these people are idiots but young thug is also not the only good rapper alive
Thugga's perceived "gayness" is all about style though.

"Fight Night" is kind of gross and unfun to me :(
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
the "fight night" verses are incredible but there's def something tone deaf about the song i.e. the single cover is boxing gloves with lipstick marks on them smfh

also i deleted some of the songs
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 21:53 (nine years ago) link
tried to only keep ones that sounded like "young thug songs" instead of just "songs with young thug"
yahhh, thanks lagoon

least i cld do
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 22:33 (nine years ago) link
yes thanks! load up round 2
Also 'fight night' sounds like 'blow the whistle' to me. Same bass anyway, similar tempo.

im gonna try to put them in an order? idk

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

I'll agree on the line, it's gross, but that song is such an improvement on "The Language" which is so damn drab & I have no idea why people think it's a highlight
then again I only give a shit about "Hold On" off that album so yeah

Call me crazy but I hear Levi Stubbs at times in Thugger. Especially on this track, for eg

So Thug's off Brick Squad/Atlantic? I kinda figured but idg how this stuff works

BTW the Thugga polarization is very real IRL, talking to a co-worker's friend out last weekend talking 'bout how he was "suspect" lol & mocking his "Hookah" hook

One time some dudes at work were talking shit about Young Thug wearing dresses so I nonchalantly whipped out my phone and showed them pics of me wearing dresses.

tbh wasn't a fan of dude's Fallon outfit but it's irrelevant to dude's music (well OK, guess it's part of his persona but I mean as far as me listening to it) & shit just seems like a repeat of '07 Wayne kissing Baby "OMG homothug rappers taking over" stuff
honestly though we may have already moved from the "LMAO what a joke dude's annoying" to "I recognize his talent, buuut..." phase of Thug's career though. Not sure. In a few years he'll put out his I Am Not a Human Being II and everyone who doesn't like him now'll be all maaan remember when he was dope? It's the inevitable rap cycle

on that same note pretty sure Jeezy's a Respected Elder of hip hop now, but I'm so old I remember when his simple flow/rhyming same words together/yeaaaahhhs were ruining hip hop. tbf though he has changed his rapping style some starting with The Recession or so, for better or worse.
I'm not sure who's stepped in to fill the ruininghiphop void these days, I'm not sure if it's Thug actually, and with Eminem fans Wayne seems to be the root of all evil for some reason (cuz they were on a few tracks together where Em rapped all impassioned/constipated-like, maybe) but yeah, dunno.

LOL who is Berner? Some rich guy who pays rappers to be on his songs? Anyway I like that hook, YG faxed his verse in and still came off interesting.
