Young Thug thread

(l8 pass but that is the most weirdly brilliant blindsiding hook)

sick

nice

crazy how disciplined his flow has become over the last year or so

yeah that song is kind of incredible

yea, 'halftime' is great too - the 'everytime i dress myself' line is so fun.

'just might be' is something else tho

very nice.

holy shit. that's... wow

my girl's mad at me cause i just listened to it on my headphones and was clearly tripping out so she moved to unplug them so she could hear and i was like nononoo

thugger is featured on the new jamie xx album

on a track with popcaan

Bless

someone told me jamie pushed his album back for that track

woah cant wait

I think the Jeremih joint is my favorite of these new tracks. "Warrior" is still my favorite Thugger this year tho.

Excited for Tha Blarter VI

young blarter mall mall cop VI

i can't believe he's actually making tha carter VI. i love it in concept but idk how i'm gonna feel if it actually happens

So my problem with Tha Carter title is that so many people dismiss Young Thug as trolling, especially with the way he dresses and occasionally flips hetero-normative conventions. But here he really is trolling, and that makes it easier to dismiss everything else he does as trolling, too

he's a troller he's a troller he's a troller

he is def a provocateur but in a good meaningful way and its not like its his main thing either

flips heteronormative conventions?

this is where it turns out that he, rae sremmurd and fetty wap all have an explicit queer agenda I couldn't spot, right

ur queer agendadar may need recalibrating

I don't think he has any kind of agenda. You don't have to have an agenda to disregard heteronormative conventions; you can just do it because you want to

feel like there is def some purposeful provocation going on, the fact that he pretends to have no idea what anyones talking about when its brought up is p funny and good

flips heteronormative conventions?

i mean this strikes me as the best thing about 'the carter vi,' weed out the lames

i just hope he doesn't get cold feet and pull an "i'm gay" like "carter vi (i came from nothing 6)"

I thought he already changed it to 'the barter'

i wonder if this will be underwhelming

Of course it will. And then we'll all grow to love it later, when the noise is gone.

The Barter 6 is an even better title than The Carter 6 imo.

why is this 'of course' the outcome?

the whole thing is weird, like... they're putting out a "real" album with no single? so it's basically a mixtape but with a little PR push behind it? and i guess it will be on itunes.

that's what i'm assuming at least and i assume it will be as good as his other mixtapes, which is to say a half dozen incredible songs and some stuff that is more generic than it should be

Because everyone will want to distance themselves from all the hype/noise right now + we were already taken by surprise last year w The Tour so it won't happen again. @ deej

feel like the cater 6 wldve been a very good and interesting album title and not trolling but actually perfectly serendipitous and apt because lil wayne is thugs musical idol 100% that was the inspiration for the title in the first place but then real life intervened in such a crazy way that the cater 6 was actually knocking the carter 5 out of its release date complicating the whole thing on a crazy level and that folks is what we call art, class dismissed

afaict it's coming out on 300 Ent and is going to be on iTunes/Spotify but also officially on mixtape sites much like their Kevin Gates, Shy Glizzy, etc releases. it just seems weirder here because YT is far more famous with those guys and confusingly closely aligned with Cash Money in every way except releasing albums with them.

thug referred to it as "the mixtape" in one of those vine videos a day or two ago

i still call albums "tapes" sometimes
