pitchfork writers are mostly trust fund white kids. Just like the Saturday Night Live writers....

I feel like the Young Thug worshipping is almost ironic. He's a novelty act.
|
I don't even see him as an artist because his mixtapes are a random compilation of songs with no direction.

Haven't heard the live yet, but I was pleasantly surprised by the original album. At best, Born Sinner was just a bit of ear candy for when I was out of ideas about what to listen to. It was a pleasant but derivative album, and while it made for some good radio hip hop, it really wasn't my thing. He didn't say or do anything that Kanye didn't do better on his first two albums. But 2014 Forest Hills Drive was an authentic and genuinely GOOD album. Right off the bat, it sounded so much more developed and mature than Born Sinner. So, I really dug the studio version. Not usually super into live rap albums, but I'll check out the new one for sure. |

Not to them. In one spread they had this big psychedelic graphic of thug with a skull face surrounded by swirls and acid imagery.... Titled the "(something something) World of Young Thug" (or something). It was like the kind of thing you'd see in a Rolling Stone article about 30 years of the Flaming Lips. In fact, that's exactly what I thought of. It was so reverent, with this "this guy's the real deal of musical experimentation" vibe. Again, like something from Fearless Freaks. Or a Zappa piece. As a Flaming Lips fanatic and Zappa lover, I was insulted. |

As if we all haven't seen Lil Wayne going through a drugged out phase 10 years ago and experimenting with his sound.. but Wayne sounded coherent and put hard work on his craft. Thugger said he doesn't even write down his lyrics and makes every song in 5 minutes. |
@ Rob
Kevin Gates dropped his debut album today, titled "Islah". Gonna listen soon. |

Well, to be fair both Jay Z and Kanye have made similar claims, and it sounded super badass with respect to them (especially Jay- the idea that the Black Album was just freestyled blows my mind). So maybe this is just our biases coming into play. But yeah that sounds hella dumb that Thug does that. He claims to not be familiar with Jay. Says that's just not his era. ... what does that mean, exactly? Is he like nine years old? |
You're absolutely right, but Jay has photographic memory and Kanye is a perfectionist.. Thug sucks when he tries to freestyle on radio shows which makes me assume he might have a writer. But who knows.

Dude... Being Young Thug's ghost writer would *literally* be the easiest job in the world. In fact, I don't even buy that anyone would employ someone to write such shit when they could just as easily pay someone to write well. Now, Drake having a writer I almost buy. Drake's lyrics are like one-liners, and they have a stand-up comic's timing. But I think Drake is just a trained performer, and is capable of pulling off that kind of thing on his own. Acting and singling lessons are definitely things I can see him paying for on a regular basis. But I don't get it... If young thug has a ghost writer, why is ANYONE above the age of twelve unemployed in this country? You know? |
Jay freestyles like a monster. I think he might just be done with rapping at this point, but in his prime, he had the ferocity of an underground rap battle King. He was all ambition. I truly think of him as the Muhammad Ali of hip-hop.

Kanye to Wiz Khalifa:
"So you own waves now?? I own your child!!!" Totally reasonable, proportionate response. Funny as hell though. I don't care how much of an ass he makes of himself, Kanye is and always will be infinitely more charming and memorable than MOR rappers like Wiz. Watching that Twitter feud was like watching a low-wattage light bulb try to duke it out with the sun. |
Kanye West to appear on SNL this weekend, y'all.
I'm saying a lot of things right now! |

I like Wiz though. He's not super talented. But I like his flow.
