he had a top 10 hit lol

yeah it's pretty inarguable that he's more popular than he's ever been
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Thursday, 10 December 2020 14:53 (three years ago) link
tho it is true he just hasnt released a ton of music the last couple few years
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:03 (three years ago) link
I'm honestly a little grateful to have gotten a bit of a respite from new music from Thugger, from like 2015-2019 it was like a full-time job keeping up with him.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link
wonder what hes been doing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:33 (three years ago) link
evol j otm, by the time BTG came out I was p satiated with him, but there's stuff from that absurdly productive period I prob still haven't heard
― rob, Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link
gunna's "dollaz on my head" and aminé's "compensating" are his guest verses most worth searching for this year imo
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:52 (three years ago) link
ooh, his spot on dababy's "blind" is nice too
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Thursday, 10 December 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link
I love that Megan song he's on but mostly just for the beat rather than anything Thug's bringing to the table
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Thursday, 10 December 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
thug is def better generally on his own songs than features, you need the whole thug experience
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2020 16:47 (three years ago) link
he sounds good when bouncing back and forth with one of his sons (baby, gunna, keed), but agreed. he didn't really drop any of his own songs this year, tho

evolj otm about don't stopthug is wildly inconsistent but he has his moments

i did not like his last album even tho it 'worked' at what it needed to do, ie legitimized him as a star ... idk that i'd say he's "wildly inconsistent," he had periods of being extremely consistent... but there's a tendency to coast that i didn't really get from his peak period

Jeffrey was cool but definitely not the one. This new one sounds right.

Jeffrey is “fine.” Some pretty average tracks on it, generic flows from the era .. also was a noticeable step down from the previous year

Jeffery is my favourite album by him although I haven't really listened to much recently. This new one is really nice, kind of acoustic and soulful a bit like some of the moments on Beautiful Thugger Girls

I'm gonna guess he already has a good lawyer. But federal indictments aren't playing around.

whole thing is disgusting, total targeted criminalization of rap music. half the artists cited in the indictment are charged with rico and nothing else - literal guilt by association.

otm, really gross and ugly to see things going back to using rappers' lyrics as "evidence" in criminal charges.

from what i read of the indictment, the song lyrics and photos with gang signs are mostly used as evidence that ysl was operating "as a gang," which justified the RICO charges. they seem to have actual evidence of him doing things like giving permission to people to murder yfn lucci.
i have no idea how this will play out and it is very possible this is a case of an overzealous prosecutor. it does seem insane to me that someone like thug, an icon, would still be wrapped up in this type of crime.

Anastassios Manettas, an attorney on the YSL trial, was just arrested for having his prescription drugs in his bag at a search at court.— George Chidi (find me on Notes) (@neonflag) April 20, 2023
When he tried to toss his phone to another attorney so they wouldn't be able to search it, he missed and hit a deputy, so they're also charging him with assaulting an officer.— George Chidi (find me on Notes) (@neonflag) April 20, 2023
love how an errant bump from a tossed phone becomes "assault" when, and only when, the bumpee is a cop.
