Which is the better album /mu/?
To Pimp a Butterfly
I don't like either but DS2 is easily better as there are some decent lyrics in there unlike Barter 6 which has some of the most bullshit lyrics I've heard in a while.
>>61169944
both are trash Negro music
Barter 6, by a wide margin
>>61169960
i want cucks to leave
>>61169990
and plebs too
>>61169960
Proof that hip-hop fans are literally retarded. Wasn't even an option
>>61169960
literally fuck off
>>61170021

>>61170039
It's always an option you racist piece of shit.
>>>/pol/
both are shit.
barter 6. both are great though
>>61170062
Spotted the liberal
>>61169944
Both are pretty good, gonna have to give it to Barter 6, only one bad song.
>>61169944
Both are lyrically shit. What are we judging these two projects off of? What their voices sound like? How good the beats are?
>retarded autotuned mumbling with barely-comprehensible lyrics and boring production
vs
>lyrics that range from stupid fun to depressing seriousness backed by some of the best beats of the year and the choice cuts from his mixtapes
Man tough choice
>>61170150
both atlantic rappers with a very similar style of rapping and flow
>>61170190
This post was made by a pleb. Please do NOT reply to it.
both are 9/10 but I'll give the edge to B6
it's such a tasteful album
>>61170229
stop shitting up the thread faggot
>comparing shit to caca
can meme rap die already
>>61169944
There's no point in comparing the two. They both have shitty lyrics, and the only real way to compare the two is to see which of the two has the most #BANGERZ, which is probably the worst way to compare albums.
As much as I love Young Thug, it's definitely DS2
>>61170305
You are this stupid
>>61170287
>can meme rap die already
You don't see that it will just be replaced by an equally frivolous and fun type of music that people will love and you will hate because you are a bitter asshole.
Future is garbage. Thugger is a melodic genius tho
>>61171473
>Future is garbage.

There's nothing more stupid than invoking the fictional pleb/patrician dichotomy, I agree
>>61171567
black community fucks with future more that thugga, even thought he's more talented a lot are defiant and refuse to fuck with him because of all his suspect antics
you meme too much lad
>>61171798
even though**
Can someone tell me unironically if any of those two are worth my time? I'm not into trap so I want to see what I'm missing
>inb4 meme rap
is it a coincidence that black people don't fuck with thug but white people do? i swear white people are homosexuals for real
>>61171902
listen to ds2, it's the better album
>>61171902

Future is generic trap garbage, but you should check Barter 6 out. The album's barely there production doesn’t so much frame Thug's rapping as it does provide a surface for his words to dance upon, to explore the art of rapping in multiple dimensions: melodically, rhythmically, lyrically, and in terms of composition. His voice glides through the thick absence of sound. He’s responsible for a lot of the songwriting; he knocks out his own hooks, and his writing speaks to his use of phrasing, his backgrounds, the flows he uses, and the way he plays with each song’s internal architecture. On “Halftime,” his car-screech adlibs are elongated—it’s as if a camera panned suddenly from a pinprick of light, causing it to blur—so he can change tones, harmonizing this background yelp with his own main vocals.
Thug's lyrical style stands out in a number of ways; the most obvious is his ear for figurative language. Thug’s similes often build upon familiar imagery, but move in unexpected directions. On “Check,” he opens rapping about a “Mink coat with the rolls like a Shar Pei”; later on, he raps, “All my niggas, they hard, call them beetles.” These aren’t punchlines intended to get rap fans doubling over laughing (although they can be funny in their unpredictability). Thug seems more interested in an original and idiosyncratic approach to imagery, in discovering pathways in language that haven’t already been heavily traveled.
In this, his lyrical approach is closer to a rapper like Raekwon than it is Lil Wayne, with whom Thug is frequently compared through some fault of his own. But any close reading of his lyrics suggest comparisons between The Barter 6 and Wayne’s Carter series, for which it is named, are a total misdirection. Where Wayne shredded his vocals against hip-hop’s formal constraints, Thug is a synthesist, a rapper of control, an artist in the process of reassembly.
>>61171902
Barter 6 is much better and more innovative
>>61171933
>>61171953
Reddit sure is here
>>61171902
Yes they are, however if you are very stuck up about lyrics, you might be triggered by some of these
Take a listen to some of the highlights:

Couldn't be any more wrong, Future gave birth to trap as we know it today
Without Future there'd be no Young Thug
>>61171902
listen to barter
only people who hate on thugger are plebs and homophobic bigots
>>61172003
this
thug is a bootleg version of future. literally stole his whole style and then butchered it
>>61171954
nice pasta
>>61172003
>>61172031
both of you are fucking retarded and have probably never heard a classic gucci tape
>>61172002
It's boring, like sure this song has literally more meaning than the majority of his other songs but it does'nt bang and the beat is boring as fuck
>>61172058
>doesn't bang
obviously hasn't blasted it in his car
>>61172031
I didn't say that but yeah Thug based his new style on Future, he has said so himself
>>61172057
You are the retard, Gucci sounds nothing like Thug, Future invented the new turn up style
>>61172091
did you start listening to trap music this year?
"the new turn up style" lmao
>>61172131
If anything that phrase implies I've been listening to Rap for decades, as only a few years back from now means "new" to me
>>61171441
Sick argument.
>>61172160
there is no fucking "new turn up style" future and thug are both extensions of a sub-genre that has been developing for over a decade, they might sound similar to an untrained ear but have strikingly different writing styles and deliveries
Thug is leeching off of both Weezy's and Future's style
nigga literally stole lil wayne's album series name
>>61169960
Correct. Both of the posted albums are trash.
So we can all agree on this, right?
>>61172335
And Kendrick is good?
lol
>>61172363
Certainly better than Mr. 16k.
>>61172363
fuck now i really want to hear Thug cover, like, "Houdini" or something.

Yes.

>>61172444
Never gotten into J Cole, his music is pretty boring and I've never heard a Tame Impala song. Neither of those things have anything to do with the fact that Kendrick is good though.
http://strawpoll.me/6324585
>>61172458
switch SS1 and DS2 and you've pretty much nailed it.
>>61172444
>i bet you listen to j cole
most of the anon on here who really hate j cole are white guys who try too hard to act black.
j cole is fine what he is doing out there isn't anything worthy of serious trashing.

Hello, Reddit!
>>61172290
Not even addressing your post full of fallacies I'll just quote Thug himself
>He is often associated with Future, the most recent Atlanta rapper to attain household-name status, and for whom Metro produced hits like “Karate Chop” and “Honest.” If there’s anyone in the current crop of young rappers coming up in the city whom Young Thug looks up to, it’s Future (“He changed everything,” Thug says, comparing the rapper to Eazy-E and Tupac). Metro and Thug, both perched unsteadily on the verge of wider renown, share what seems like genuine mutual admiration, and work together easily and intuitively.

>>61172422
>>61172461
He's undeniably good, like idk how you can listen to him and think he's a shit rapper.
Admit it you're just a hardcore contrarian.
>>61172663
WATTBA isn't even that bad. Why the fuck are DS2 and Honest that low.
>>61172663
>Rich Gang: Tha Tour Part 1 >
Nice to see this getting love. Deserves it.
'Flava' might still be the best track Thug has ever done.
Not a big fan of either as a whole, but "I Serve the Base" is one of my favorite songs of the year. Fantastic beat, and the hook and first verse achieve what Future fans think the rest of the album does. But even on this great song Future's autotuned mumbling get stale fast.
>>61173933
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exjgZ-a399o
heard this yet?
Where did the whole "Thugger has talent" meme come from when his flow is just autotuned mumbling?
Like I guess it takes talent to get people to buy that as genius, but otherwise I'm convinced you're all just memeing
>>61171954
I seriously hope this wall of memes is pasta
>>61172663
this is the best ranking ive seen so far
>>61174055
You obviously don't know what you're talking about
Thugger doesn't use autotune since 2013
>>61174055
>but otherwise I'm convinced you're all just memeing
Andre 3000 named Thugga one of his favorites going right now for a reason. If anyone is qualified to really speak on it it's another certified and proven genius of rap melody.
He really is that good. You just sound like someone who isn't very smart and overcompensates because of it. There are always interesting things going on in low art. You just need to have the sensibility to read it better.
>>61174055
it's not, though?
for example, here's a song where thug raps his ass off:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n98ssZKT6LE
now here's one where he more or less just mumbles into autotune for comparison:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg0DcKvrhy4
(fwiw both these songs are great)
>>61174080
It is, anytime you ask why Young Thug is good someone will post that bullshit cause Young Thug fanboys are incapable of thinking for themselves
>>61174088

Have not and can not atm, but good looks, thx
>>61174144
It isn't a meme mentality. Keep pretending you're "too smart" for that if you want. I don't really care. I spend most of my time reading literature and I think what Thugga is doing with melody is rather interesting. I don't even have to flex about any taste in art because I know I already have it like that.
>>61174113
That second song is fucking horrible, the first one isn't great but it's not bad either. That second one, Young Thug sounds retarded. It's pretty shit when you hear songs like the first one and see he can actually rap and then he does songs like Haiti Slang.
>>61174224
Second song was just too deep for you bro
His experimental flow and pronunciation was avant-garde af, nobody has said words like that on a beat before him.
>>61174329
>Too deep
>experimental flow
>avant garde
Damn, you Young Thug fanboys are literally retarded
>>61174389
Nice namecalling
Anyone else here watch Young Thug and Future music videos as a hobby here?
I used to do shit like play video-games for fun but now I watch music vids on youtube like every night.

Maybe it's just a different style of self-expression? Whether you like it or not is a different story
>>61174329
>nobody has said words like that on a beat before him.
Memphis rap, Lil B, etc.
what is the appeal of this shit? is this a meme im not aware of? i see this shit posted every fucking day yet i still dont know if you are all serious about liking this fucking shit. FUCK

Future says the best thing he ever did was fall out of love. He says it like it’s nothing. What kind of darkness is this guy experiencing?
GUCCI
>>61177468
He means because that made him produce his greatest string of music yet, 4 flawless projects, but I'm pretty sure that was a joke post anyways
>>61177468
some real darkness f am, this album is a new level of turnt and depression
>>61169944
are they competing for worst album of the year? because i would say kid cudi's new album might be worse
