lol ok well I'm listening to "2 Cups Stuffed" and according to me the answer to "does he write good lyrics" is "possbily kinda" however his style is kinda undeniable, and "L-E-A-N-I-N-G/lean, lean, lean, lean, lean lean lean!" just killed me. also really like "gimme a cup twice/go light on the ice"

"Gimme a cup twice" cracks me up. That song really nails the frustration of having to wait for anything. I always think of it whenever I'm in line at the grocery store or a sandwich shop or whatever now

According to some thinly sourced (or non-sourced) tweets Young Thug is in jail, but nobody knows why or for how long. Feel like the Internet is letting me down by not providing details on this one.

'Danny Glover' = song of the decade

I was wondering if radio would pick up on that one. It'd be an exciting hit, but I guess it's not gonna happen unless Drake jumps on the remix or something
― Evan R, Monday, 20 January 2014 20:43 (ten years ago) link
can you get a song like that on American radio?
― the Shearer of simulated snowsex etc. (Dwight Yorke), Monday, 20 January 2014 20:45 (ten years ago) link
Not really. It's not unheard of for regional club hits to worm their way onto radio, but the structure of this one is pretty unorthodox. Still, with enough momentum, I dunno, I was holding out hope.
― Evan R, Monday, 20 January 2014 20:58 (ten years ago) link
if drake remixes it

which didn't seem all that far fetched after the Vine of him geeking out to the track went viral. Track also has big co-signs from Kanye West and Jay-Z, so that's some pretty substantial support

Nothing to hang a rumor on, but he had a really chipper song on ICFN3 (I think, or maybe 2) that was something like (very loosely paraphrasing here) "oh my God she wanna fuck me... and he do to." There's no Pharcyde-y "eeeewwwww" in his voice when he delivers the line, or any whiff of "no homo." He sounds kind of excited about the proposition. So at the very least (and probably only the very least) he's not very hung up on how people perceive his sexuality.
― Evan R, Monday, 20 January 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link

*googles 'bisexual young thug'*
― tpp, Monday, 20 January 2014 22:09 (ten years ago) link
It would be really cool, but doesn't he have a line like 'no homo / two times: no homo' on 1017 Thug? I remember because I was annoyed.

He also has like three lines about being a martian. If Lil Wayne's said it, he's probably said it, too.

from what i read of the indictment, the song lyrics and photos with gang signs are mostly used as evidence that ysl was operating "as a gang," which justified the RICO charges. they seem to have actual evidence of him doing things like giving permission to people to murder yfn lucci.
i have no idea how this will play out and it is very possible this is a case of an overzealous prosecutor. it does seem insane to me that someone like thug, an icon, would still be wrapped up in this type of crime.
