hi.
i can't find it right now but there was a youtube interview where thug specifically says that barter 6 was put together from the leaked tracks to preempt the leak. and it was my understanding that the leak was all rich gang era stuff. there are definitely some of those time stamping issues on b6 too ie "i'm chasing dreams free meek milly" six months after meek came home.
here is mike will tweeting about pacifier in may 2014 https://twitter.com/MikeWiLLMadeIt/status/465956175331479552

thank you based grandpa

on second thought i would guess "constantly hating" is new material given the oblique lil wayne references and the fact that it's stylistically pretty different from everything else on there
― based grandpa (noz), Monday, 20 July 2015 03:15 (eight years ago) link
yeah that was the one that always made the record feel of-the-moment to me but i guess it was an outlier.
so Young Thug has to have recorded a ton of songs in the last 6 months and we've maybe heard barely any of them? interesting.

"Pacifier"is pretty cool, feels like a spiritual sequel to "Y.R.N" from the Lobby Runners mixtape.
Of all the leaked songs, I hope "Freaky" gets a legit release some day. I remember hearing snippets with writeups implying it was supposed to be part of a collab with Kanye. Maybe that's who the blank verse at the end is for. It makes me miss "Danny Glover" / "Eww" era Thug. Like I understand he's refined his style so much since then but there's this feeling of naive exploration you hear on those tracks that doesn't really pop up on Barter 6 and I miss it a little
― Roland Pemberton, Monday, 20 July 2015 20:46 (eight years ago) link
If Barter 6 was really just a bunch of leftovers thrown together, I'm impressed. It feels session-y in a way that most Thug projects haven't.

does it matter if the tracks havent been made in the last week that much? probably better that they take some time to enhance what they made a while back, or decide whats the best to put on the actual album. pacifier is good, surprisingly funky, and prob a good introduction to thugga than a lot of his other songs. its still him but also more accessible, not that weird sounding. a good single really. makes me think the album will be well put together.

I think I kind of like Chickens a bit more than Pacifier, even if it does sound like the 'b-side' to that song.

Barter 6 us really starting to grow on me. At first I was a bit worried it wasn't banging or fun enough but there are a fair few great hooks and lines in there. Maybe it helped that I was listening to DS2 recently, which is similarly laidback and subdued

"OD" is def a highlight from barter 6 v powerful imo, that whole closing stretch from OD -> numbers -> just might be is really great
