"YRN" is tight, forgot about that for a second. nice chill track
"Lifestyle" brings me much joy when it comes on radio

4 Eva Bloody, No Fucks, Florida Water are all good off that tape
― Number None, Monday, 1 September 2014 22:09 (nine years ago) link
remember not liking that tape at all, 1017 Thug and more relevant/recent Thugga Mane La Flare are both way better
still love "The Blanguage" and it'd be cool if they dropped Metro Thuggin soon, dunno what its current status is tho

black portland and the gucci tapes sound so bad mane
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 22:38 (nine years ago) link
no excuse for that
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 22:39 (nine years ago) link
yea i hated black portland

I don't think Gucci collab is A+ but it's got some jams
― nova, Monday, 1 September 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
YRN, best song this year.

im really into the lifestyle video
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:11 (nine years ago) link
lifestyle and yrn are both pretty big departures for thugger beatwise
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link
lifestyle is so good
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link
ya its very triumphant
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:18 (nine years ago) link
i fucked and then wiped down my dick with the curtains inside of the phantom lol
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:22 (nine years ago) link
i hate that line and don't think that song is very good
young thug explicitly remaking drake songs is... not the road he should travel
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:23 (nine years ago) link
no way that line is delightful and hilarious
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:24 (nine years ago) link
thats a kool g rap line

sort of
― bozack horseman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
i think it probably dates back to old comedy records or some shit like that tbh
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:28 (nine years ago) link
did they have phantoms in rap then
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
they had curtains
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link
curtains date back a long way, almost to the beginning

now that's a great song

Does the name "Young Thug" and "I Came From Nothing" both come from the first Jeezy album?
― bozack horseman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link
couple of years ago i was travelling around morocco with only ICFN2 on my phone to listen to. eating hash cakes on the beach in essaouira listening to 'haitian slang'. fucking weird, honestly

yeah i love blanguage. maybe in part just because it's one of the few CDQ tracks where you can really soak up his voice in high fidelity. the way the beat/flow switches going into the 'banana boat/cantaloupe' bit is just the greatest.
most of my favs mentioned but i've also been into

is lifestyle getting radio play? it's so fucking great
― Jacques_Lamure, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 18:27 (nine years ago) link
i've heard it on the radio so the big dog timmy is playing it at least
― out here like a flopson (tpp), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 18:31 (nine years ago) link
lol
yeah it's a legit billboard hit in america
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 18:34 (nine years ago) link
also 'hookah' is song of the year
― out here like a flopson (tpp), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 18:37 (nine years ago) link
"Lifestyle" peaking just as summer weather finally arrives just feels so right. Great driving song.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 18:40 (nine years ago) link
yeah "Treasure" is top 5 Thugger imo. A couple more of my favorites lately

Better Than "The Blanguage" Metro Thug

OMG is nuts.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:31 (nine years ago) link
OMG is kinda like a weaker 'fight night' right?
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link
"OMG" is the one song where i think he sounds too much like a spongebob character
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:35 (nine years ago) link
i think we should talk about what makes his music bad when it's bad, bc while we are largely fans the polarized online argument of 'the only rapper worth hearing' vs. 'destroying the culture' is wholly ruining the enjoyment of young thug for me
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link
on the contrary i feel like a lot of the "destroying the culture" arguments lobbed at young thug are as homophobic as any rapper since..... kanye? that makes me like young thug a lot more
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 20:49 (nine years ago) link
i almost feel like the stylistic war regarding young thug-type rappers has been ceded by the conservatives and that it's actually more acceptable to argue against young thug (or lil b) on subtextually homophobic grounds

there are plenty of people who just think he sucks as a rapper w/out needing a homophobic subtext

these people are idiots but young thug is also not the only good rapper alive
Thugga's perceived "gayness" is all about style though.
― longneck, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link
"Fight Night" is kind of gross and unfun to me :(
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
the "fight night" verses are incredible but there's def something tone deaf about the song i.e. the single cover is boxing gloves with lipstick marks on them smfh
