Young Thug thread

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.

imo this dude wouldn't deserve his own thread yet but i guess the rolling thread has been dead as ... dead lately so i guess i approve

i do suspect this will end up being an ilx easter island style tribute to a forgotten rapper though

lol probably.

Ah, those DJ Spinz tapes have been pretty good.

Love this

I cannot see a shirtless PeeWee Longway without thinking of that scene where Danny DeVito crawls out of a couch naked in "It's Always Sunny"

Young Thug and Meek Mill work very, very well together

'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

can you get a song like that on American radio?

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.

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

lol i was basically giving up on him right when he finally started to get radio traction

what a long strange run its been

i dont know where you guys are that regional hits dont get played on radio without drake verses

i mean, unless youre in new york, like me

i was being sarcastic

hadn't heard this before...wow

has he put anything out since 1017 thug?

restraint or oversight on aero not quoting the lines after "lean/lean/lean/etc" upthread? how could you resist "500 horses inside my machine/ 500 DNAs in my ding ding"

"Stoner," "Danny Glover" are the big singles

"Some More" http://www.trillhd.com/video/5059/young-thug-some-more
"No Fuck" today http://www.complex.com/music/2014/01/young-thug-bloody-jay-no-fuck

there was a rumour abt this guy floating around on twitter that is, um, interesting to google.

ok just post it

"stoner" & "danny glover" are good tracks & obv i'm glad young thug is becoming a thing but they're still outside of his, like, 10 best songs imo

is young thug bisexual? that would be cool

would be cool yeah but idk if there is anything to it.

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.

time for some research...

*googles 'bisexual young thug'*

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.

loooool tpp

oooh, I just got it. lol.

he def says no homo on that tape

Future signed him, right?

there's a bunch of talk about him maybe going to Freebandz but it seems unconfirmed atm

This Bloody Jay mixtape is rough. The Freebandz era begins inauspiciously.

of the half dozen or so tracks that leaked i didn't think any of them sounded spectacular but i gotta listen to the tape

the tape is really good imo (exept the sound quality)

yeah it's sounding good to me

but then i'm feeling more positively towards weaker thugger joints now that he's taking off

The mix to me is code for "don't take this too seriously because we clearly didn't." But if I wasn't sold on Bloody Jay before I'm definitely not now

I like what Ive heard so far.

"But if I wasn't sold on Bloody Jay before I'm definitely not now"

me too

"4 eva bloody" is amazing

his lyrics on this song are bonkers

i got a black gun with a red beam
a red car, it drip clean

the best thing about Black Portland is that it's only 11 tracks long

@YoungThugWorld 12h
Ok ok who ready for my tape?? If you ready the title and the date , tell everybody to RT this now...

Glad he has a real project in the pipeline. Maybe this one will even be mastered.

Also hoping the overzealous press didn't blow their Young Thug coverage on Black Portland. Seems like there was such a rush to jump on this dude's train that pubs didn't care they were slathering inordinate attention on an undistinguished, inconsequential tape. They just needed to make up for not covering "Donald Glover" the first time around.

ack, Danny Glover. Yuck, sorry.

Jeffrey is “fine.” Some pretty average tracks on it, generic flows from the era .. also was a noticeable step down from the previous year

you should see the look im giving my phone right now

🤪

tbh i had completely forgotten about jeffrey

hyped for a great new young thug album

Travis Barker and more w/ him on SNL.

Jeffery is my favourite album by him although I haven't really listened to much recently. This new one is really nice, kind of acoustic and soulful a bit like some of the moments on Beautiful Thugger Girls

Looks like some possibly serious charges.

BREAKING: Rappers @youngthug ,@1GunnaGunna among 28 defendants charged in 56 count indictment in Fulton County. My colleague @MarkWinneWSB & I have exclusive details. @wsbtv

dating back to 2013, yikes

I'm gonna guess he already has a good lawyer. But federal indictments aren't playing around.

whole thing is disgusting, total targeted criminalization of rap music. half the artists cited in the indictment are charged with rico and nothing else - literal guilt by association.

otm, really gross and ugly to see things going back to using rappers' lyrics as "evidence" in criminal charges.

that line from the nicki song is so plainly not about actually harming someone, feels like a joke

damn rip thug

maybe rip not the best phrase to use in this situation...........

tru

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.

Big NYT piece today from Joe Coscarelli and Richard Fausset on the thug trial

seems..not good

BREAKING: YSL attorney Anastasios Manettas arrested and led away in handcuffs before start of today’s hearing. Still working to determine why he was arrested. #ysl @wsbtv

— Michael Seiden (@SeidenWSBTV) April 20, 2023

sounds like a bunch of petty BS on the cops behalf tbh

Anastassios Manettas, an attorney on the YSL trial, was just arrested for having his prescription drugs in his bag at a search at court.

— George Chidi (find me on Notes) (@neonflag) April 20, 2023

When he tried to toss his phone to another attorney so they wouldn't be able to search it, he missed and hit a deputy, so they're also charging him with assaulting an officer.

— George Chidi (find me on Notes) (@neonflag) April 20, 2023

love how an errant bump from a tossed phone becomes "assault" when, and only when, the bumpee is a cop.

sounds like the attorney is a clown frankly

Yeah, the quotes from his counsel in the rolling stone article linked under that second tweet definitely makes them look pretty amateurish and dumb.

new album is mostly wallpaper, but there are a couple vintage cuts, including this one:
