terrifyingly british

"pacifier" is sick

it's whineybait because it has sampled snare drums but it legitimately is great and probably the best thing young thug has done this year

love that sweater

do we know whether or not hitunes is going to have anything thugger recorded in 2015?

why wouldn't it? it generally seems like he's constantly recording and most of what he releases is very recent (and the clearly old stuff that's gotten out there has been unauthorized leaks or stuff from Gucci's vaults).

might be something to do with

andrew ‏@noz Jul 16
assuming barter 6 was all rich gang era cuts to preempt the leak we haven't heard one contemporaneous young thug song in 2015

He also says Pacifier is "at least 14 months old"

i saw that tweet but i don't know why he assumes the leak & barter 6 were old material? barter 6 defnitely feels like a whole album of 'givenchy' but that's not really concrete. maybe based grandpa knows something i don't?

Yeah, I don't see any reason to assume the stuff on Barter 6 wasn't new.

yeah maybe noz has an inside track on something i dunno. a lot of big name rappers are frequently throwing out music that was recorded really really recently, but i always suspect that a lot of the 'new' music we hear has been sitting on a hard drive for longer than we'd guess, like a good year or two. you just can't even guess unless the artist is prone to timestamped references (which YT isn't) or has had turnover in producers and collaborators (which YT has, so you kind of assume if a song with Quan or Lil Wayne leaks that it was done a while ago).

hi.

i can't find it right now but there was a youtube interview where thug specifically says that barter 6 was put together from the leaked tracks to preempt the leak. and it was my understanding that the leak was all rich gang era stuff. there are definitely some of those time stamping issues on b6 too ie "i'm chasing dreams free meek milly" six months after meek came home.

here is mike will tweeting about pacifier in may 2014 https://twitter.com/MikeWiLLMadeIt/status/465956175331479552

thank you based grandpa

on second thought i would guess "constantly hating" is new material given the oblique lil wayne references and the fact that it's stylistically pretty different from everything else on there

yeah that was the one that always made the record feel of-the-moment to me but i guess it was an outlier.

so Young Thug has to have recorded a ton of songs in the last 6 months and we've maybe heard barely any of them? interesting.

:)

"Pacifier"is pretty cool, feels like a spiritual sequel to "Y.R.N" from the Lobby Runners mixtape.

Of all the leaked songs, I hope "Freaky" gets a legit release some day. I remember hearing snippets with writeups implying it was supposed to be part of a collab with Kanye. Maybe that's who the blank verse at the end is for. It makes me miss "Danny Glover" / "Eww" era Thug. Like I understand he's refined his style so much since then but there's this feeling of naive exploration you hear on those tracks that doesn't really pop up on Barter 6 and I miss it a little

If Barter 6 was really just a bunch of leftovers thrown together, I'm impressed. It feels session-y in a way that most Thug projects haven't.

does it matter if the tracks havent been made in the last week that much? probably better that they take some time to enhance what they made a while back, or decide whats the best to put on the actual album. pacifier is good, surprisingly funky, and prob a good introduction to thugga than a lot of his other songs. its still him but also more accessible, not that weird sounding. a good single really. makes me think the album will be well put together.

I think I kind of like Chickens a bit more than Pacifier, even if it does sound like the 'b-side' to that song.

luv this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-7hoKVizKg

o this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g5rn8HN3HI

i was @ the breakers last week and stuck in my head was "ok i woke up in a mansion w/ 3 naked bitches dancing on me"

pacifier, pacifier, loobadiblubblub

Barter 6 us really starting to grow on me. At first I was a bit worried it wasn't banging or fun enough but there are a fair few great hooks and lines in there. Maybe it helped that I was listening to DS2 recently, which is similarly laidback and subdued

"pacifier" the real future hendrix

i appreciate this post

Yeah Pacifier is pure gold.
