Young Thug thread

"Rolling like trump you get your meat lumped isn't exactly no bitin allowed"

I like his particular rap style that is funny and unique! The disconnect is in most writing I see about him!

Like, I feel like the goalposts have moved very quickly in the last three years to where someone like Keef or Future or even Lil B could be talked about like "This guy is doing something outside the world of traditional rap as we know it, but it's interesting and can be appreciated thusly" to Young Thug just being blanketed as a king of feels and a visionary sculptor and the most gifted, forward-thinking contemporary rapper on the planet

One major difference is that when people quote Raekwon, it's stuff that rhymes.

The Young Thug quotes in this thread have been like evocative fortune cookies or Jordan stanning for something he can't even understand the words of

soyrev is spanish for "i am rev" btw stay woke

lol it stands for soy milk revolution

Whiney my man what do you have against fortune cookies

i'm not opposed to it, i'm just saying we're talking about yawns and adlibs and "crude pictographs"

I just think the very nature of how we approach and examine rap music is changing very fast

that's very true and probably why it's easier for you to stan for soemthing like 'sausage' over young thug? ; )

Like appreciating yawns and adlibs is a perfectly acceptable poptimist stance, but it's being written about from the primarilty rockist view of Thugger being the thelonious monk/orson welles of percussive yawps?

Whitney we all agree soyrev has trash opinions

hahahaha

anyone want scans/pictures of the pitchfork article that the picture above was taken from? i got a copy of the pitchfork review for free for buying p4k fest tickets (which i am now selling lol)

oh thank god no one i know *clutches chest*

what unmitigated garbage

in fairness to everyone being clowned itt, it's hard to talk about the 'how' of rapping

anyhoo the latest set of leaks is really good. 13 tracks or so---on the whole about as good as barter 6 i reckon.

is there a zip for those somewhere?

there've been several and they've been linked on this thread prior

the 100+ tracks leak (100+ including all the Quan ftr) linked upthread didn't include Spaghetti Factory or Hey I or a couple others mentioned recently but you'd have to be a neon battery-powered butterfly to stay on top of this

here's the new new ones

I have the old new ones. These are the ones I needed. Thanks.

Since we're speaking of quotability I feel like this needs to be posted:

"something wrong with the pussy" is like an all-time line

i also like

Hopped out my mufuckin bed

that's a great memorable banality in a 90s tradition, imo

only together with the WAT? adlib tho

thelonious monk had no quotables

haven't listened to any of these leaks cos i'm still obsessed with barter 6. a lot of the small details & less obvious hooks took a few weeks to reveal themselves to me (compared with say 'who's on top') but now they are stuck in my brain forever.

Young Thug made it onto a Norwegian milk carton.

http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/790-an-interview-with-jojo-zarur-young-thugs-stylist/

a willowy rapper with a septum piercing who liked toying with gender constraints

great interview

calling her a stylist is selling her way short tho, shes straight up making those clothes herself

JZ: He doesn’t wear anything loose. He told me, "I only feel comfortable with really tight pants." I will go buy him a pair of men’s pants, and I cut and sew them to a women’s fit. I might buy a dress, and then I’ll cut it, and I’ll add a men's t-shirt, and do something crazy. Mixing men’s and women’s, that’s how I work. I’Il look at three pieces and make one out of it. I put Thug in this cool red coat with fur in one of his videos. Everybody called me, like, "What designer is that coat?" I was going by a theater costume store and I saw a red coat. I cut up this other coat I had with fur, and I added it to it. The other day I made a jacket out of a backpack. I have no limits.
