New Metro Thuggin' tracks:

"Speed Racer" is cool, "Warrior" is amazingly tripped out.

TI and Thugger at BBK in NYC

i found the metro thuggin ones kinda "OK"

warrior is amazing

GQ: At what age do you drop the “Young” from your name?
Young Thug: I don’t think I’m gonna drop it, ’cause I want to be forever young. But if I had to…
GQ: What would you change it to?
Young Thug: My little niece always calls me Jeff the Rapper, so I might change it to that.

awwww

yeah that's perfectly cute

Is Da Tour Part 2 gonna be officially released? It's totally awesome, would be good to see it get more coverage...

has more of it leaked or just those ~7 songs

I've got a leak with 15 tracks, including Warrior. No idea how legit this is, but seems like the full thing.

isnt warrior supposed to be on metro thuggin

There's a bunch of stuff out there by the looks of things. And the official date keeps coming and going... :/

man i just want the real thing. mixtape leaks feel even more draining to try to pay attention to than album leaks.

so that's a leak? i have no memory of downloading it but its on my computer... it's not that good though so kindof relieved

mixtape leaks, youtube songs, things u heard the neighbor kids rapping, dreams of songs u had while sleeping on the train

im def ready for a more purposeful thug ~album statement~ type record that suggests some narrative momentum

or more stuff w/ quan since he seems to provide that dimension

metro thuggin seems pretty pro they shd release it

yes pls

He's not gonna start adding jazz and Last Poets samples to his tapes, now is he?

Why would he?

Just a joking reference to the hype for Kendrick Lamar's latest, and rap competition.

Ha, gotcha.

One of the things that fascinates me about Thug is how he's become one of rap's biggest stars, yet nobody is clamoring for an album, let alone pondering what shape an album might take. Like, an album isn't even on the radar; it seems like he could keep carrying on without ever releasing one and it wouldn't hurt his popularity/success any.

"fascinates" is probably the wrong word, but it just sorta hits home that for a certain kind of artist the album is an irrelevant/obsolete form

Supposedly he was scheduled to release an album last April (which presumably would have been anchored by "Stoner" and "Danny Glover") before his label troubles got the best of him.

Carter VI is supposedly coming soon

do i need to know anything about this rich homie quan beef/retraction or does it not matter

it seems like a waste of time to think about, unless it does turn out to be something later i guess

is Carter IV going to be a retail album though? or another freebie like the Rich Gang tape?

thank you, i shant waste time thinking about it

With Young Thug hanging out with Birdman, I see some folks saying the Carter VI thing and the plan to name his next series of projects Carter VI through X, is just a dig at Wayne via Birdman. Still can't tell what's gonna be a tape or an actual album though.
Lil Wayne's daughter is not happy with the title plans.

that dig will probably not be as funny when lil wayne dies in the next few years

remember when lil wayne dropped '500 degreez' though

iirc Young Thug was talking about naming his album that long before Wayne fell out with Cash Money?

(or Thug even had an affiliation with Cash Money for that matter)

yeah it's definitely been for a year or two and someone on twitter said he was saying that all the way back in 2012. it also kinda feels like Thug would be reductive of his own unique talent if he named a record that, though. like for him to hang onto that title after he's grown out of Wayne's shadow, what's the point.
