Young Thug thread

He probably kinda goes in on it but honestly the beat's a little dinky (not GIRLY mind it's so un-girly) for my tastes

Actually both the "Stoner"/"Danny Glover" "OMG Thug's bout to blow" singles didn't do it for me while "Lifestyle" is obviously the greatest Rich Gang cut thus far. And I say that as someone who liked a handful of songs on the OG Rich Gang album lol

"Stoner" is a 100% classic gtfo

I like "Yeah Yeah" + how he sounds like a drugged-up Drake on the hook

Lifestyle is arguably rap song of the year so far. And yes, Stoner is def 100% classic gtfoh.

"Stoner (GTFO If You Don't Like It Remix)"

and nah not arguably it 100% is

"Lifestyle" doesn't really do anything for me tbh

Thanking whoever put together Straye Thugs - great comp!

^otm, excellent work lagoon

Everybody's already forgotten about 2 cups stuffed :(

was wondering what lagoon thought of Curtains, Picacho, and 2 Cups

I assume the scope of the comp was limited to more recent stuff

love all of 1017 thug classic album imho

theres a no drops vers out there which is def worthwhile fwiw, never got into any of the i came from nothings really def some cool moments on there but his style feels pretty nascent and the wayne jocking kinda jumps out at u

1017 Thug is def. not classic but it is good & yeah the birth of current-day Thugga far as I can tell

100% CLASSIC EVERY SONG IS GOOD AND THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SONGS AND THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER

only complaint is it wouldve been cooler to have some pro space age mastering its almost completely mid range free and thuggers voice can get kinda buzzy and irritating when its expressed just through that tinny high end

well at least you didn't tell me to gtfo although the caps did make me feel a certain type of way

1017 def has skippable moments ... 2nd "I came from nothing" is great btw

lol u may stay xp

feel like albums masquerading as mix tapes are the best possible form cause theyre hardcore and dont have to have drake on them only it'd be cool if the sound qual was better and its def very good when a no drops vers is available for sale

one cool thing abt 1017 is how he has some reggae styles on there and it sounds natural and good not like hes trying to affect a patois or w/e

1017 and La ThuggA're both great and stand up to/reward a LOT of listening ime

Seeing Young Thug tonight, and wishing very badly I had more friends who were willing to go to a rap club to see a midnight performance on a Monday night

cool, report back. hes playing a club near me on fri & ive been considering going

http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/30095/young-thug-rich-homie-quan-birdman-rich-gang-the-tour-part-1.html

this is relevant to my interests

sounds p good so far

they are good foils for each other

yeah i like them together

This might be the best Thug project of the year. Definitely raises his 2014 slugging percentage

Birdman sounds gooooooood

rich homie quan been kinda underrated

def makes me feel some type of way

It's nearly 90 minutes and it's consistently good. Thug's verses are really sharp and focused, especially compared to some of the leftovers that have surfaced this year. Quan hasn't wowed me on the first couple of listens, but he brings a lot of heart. It's just a really balanced tape.

Quan steals "freestyle"

So we were at the club until 1:35 a.m. when the lights came up and the DJ announced Young Thug wasn't showing. Said Thug decided to go St. Louis and it was his fault and the promoter's fault but not the club's fault, so we didn't get a refund on our $40 cover. I had a ton of fun so I can't complain too much, but that's a lot of time and money to spend on a Monday night not to see Young Thug.

when you mentioned that show earlier today, i went looking to try to figure out where he was at. saw the ad on his twitter. i don't know anything about that club or Milwaukee on a Monday night but that thing looked like a no-show waiting to happen.

this tape YT is slightly more consistent and engaging that his usual tape standard. Sounds like he's waking up from a long coma on Bullets hook though. Quan's drowsy keyless crooning gets bit tiresome. All the beats on here sound the same.

Non throwaways:

See You
Flava
730
Tell Em (Lies)
Pull Up

that sucks abt the show. yeah same type of sitch when hes supposed to be in Connecticut..may go see lil durk instead which is at least at a legitimate venue

this tape sounds great btw

I'd seen Gucci Mane and Young Scooter shows there without a problem, and there were plugs for the show on Young Thug's various social media feeds, so even at 1 a.m. it didn't dawn on me he wasn't gonna show. What's crazy is how little the audience cared. Nobody booed or was all that pissed (even with the DJ bad mouthing Thug). Everybody contently filed out without making a stink about it.

Travis Scott Stan didn't even mention the best record

lol raccoon tanuki of all people has nailed my issues with young thug and rich homie quan

lex is there an Atlanta rapper to emerge in the past few years you are particularly enthused about?

I forgot if lex likes or hates Waka

likes him iirc but I'll use waka as the cutoff point. post-waka

the high waka mark

I'm gonna waka way from this thread.

i love waka

do rae sremmurd count? v into them

i like future well enough without being enraptured by him like everyone else

is it normal to put out a tape to promote a tour cause its a good idea and a win-win
