Young Thug thread

Finally - a next step.
Why isn't Pick up the phone a hit yet though? In at 90 on this week's Hot 100.

hahaha what

this tape is soooooo good... production is just masterful and his voice sounds so easy here. He used to stretch and strain but now he makes everything sound effortless

that cover is very what what WHAT

not sure i like this as much as "i'm up" but it's good

this is definitely better than I'm Up

it doesn't hit the soul like im up does though.

is anyone else listening via apple music and unable to play the last track, "pick up the phone?"

weird, it's on spotify and you can listen to the single version on apple music but for the album it ends with "pop man"

Amazing tape, just dropping into it now, but this is next level stuff from Jeffery.

RiRi. Fuck.

feeling like maybe I don't deserve Jeffery. r just has too much to give and I can't accept it all in good conscience

"R" should be "he" ffs

this is really good but SS3 is the best thing he's done for ages by far.

Naw

not sure why this doesn't get the same level of attn and hyper-analysing frank ocean gets

Frank Ocean hasn't released anything in four years. Young Thug puts out music every few months

would be one reason

fuck i saw a long thing on fb this morning about the homosexual agenda against black men in response to this album cover

i like how theres a song called wyclef jean but thats not the song that features him

also the song called Guwop doesn't feature Gucci Mane

yes! thats a fair point about diff between FO and YT releases should have thought of that

the song called harambe does feature harambe tho

future swag is great

I'm so glad this isn't getting frank ocean level attention the critical audience for thug is annoying enough

hard to decide if the fanboys or the old-head hater brigade is more annoying when it comes to YT

well i think we can agree there is always something to be annoyed about

this album has been smashing my brain in all weekend. between this and the new Rae Sremm, I'm spoilt for great trap right now.

the opening track, with the slightly reggae/basic channel undertone, is kind of a subgenre in itself

the latter, but by a slim margin.

really digging this more then most thuga stuff recently

than*

hey this is pretty good

I love Webbie.

future swag is rlly good

the line about his uncle was a very future-esque touch lol

Future Swag is better than any Future song since DS2.

behave

This just keeps getting better and is probably aoty for me so far. Gucci is kinda bad on Floyd Mayweather though.

"I just found out rats can use they lips"

this comp tape has a lot of jams imo if youre hard up for more new thugger - http://www.datpiff.com/YOUNG-THUG-Jeffery-Lamar-Williams-mixtape.799469.html

also i saw this https://archive.org/details/Young_Thug_-_The_Leak-2015
which iirc was taken down off datpiff but also has joints

T/F: the Rae sremmurd is better

They're both great but this feels like a return to form whereas the Sremm is a steady but less commercially succesful development. I prefer this one, but yeah, the Sremm is getting slept on.

I've just had the two on constant rotation for the last week or so. very little time for anything else. I must have listened to Black Beatles/Wyclef Jean/Pick Up The Phone/Just Like Us about 40 times as a suite now. Just when I thought 2016 AOTY choices were down to slim pickings

putp feels tacked on hotline bling style

it is in fact tacked on

jeffery enunciates and projects more than thugger its cool to hear

"Return to form"? Idk about that. According to ppl saying that he never fell off in the first place

It's not even his final form
