YOUNG THUG IS CHANGING THE GAME GUYS!!! HES ACTING LIKE A COMPLETE FAGGOT ON PURPOSE!! ITS SOOO DIFFERENT THEN EVERYONE!!! HES SUCH A INFLUTIENTAL ARTIST!! TRUST ME GUYS I HEARD IT ON REDDIT!
>>61170314
Near the pinnacle of modern music, Thug's repertoire is so unfairly glazed over in the overly white sophisticate as to make me sick, but to make such beautiful, inspiring works into mere trap anthems (though that they are, in part) would be to reduce one of the most amazing careers in music ever to nothing more than that of a typical "Lean sippin' nigga", and that treatment may be a fate even worse than public ignorance.
The works on display here are titanic. "Constantly Hating" opens the set, and immediately, it is revealed that there is such a thing as a populist minimalist. But that is the name of the game for Thug - a shatterer of preconceived notions, and one of the very few in the avant-garde to make John fucking Cage seem conservative by comparison. I could go on for days about how "With That" though the worst of the set, far outstrips the careers of most modern composers entirely; how "Check" is a more "classical" approach for Thug, and it succeeds endlessly; how his highly political "OD" could easily be called the greatest triptych ever conceived in music; and how the "Just Might Be" separates the most impactful bars of music I've yet heard.
But I won't.

Barter 6's barely there production doesn’t so much frame his 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.
>shitty lyrics
His 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.

>>61170598
>>61170667
ayyyyyy #calledout
i bet he liked thug til someone made fun of him
>>61170667
>>61170694
what are you talking about? I'm anon. ;)
He's verging on the 'acid jazz' of rap.
his lyrics mix the blues, classic rap insults, and feelings about other people that can be found in classic literature
>>61170176
I barely listen to most hiphop and just listened to a song from this for the first time
What the fuck why does anybody like this, it's energy is present but it's completely wasted on making rudimentary sounds that are completely uninteresting and something that literally just about every other hip hop artist does, not to mention a vocal style/delivery that's bland and unengaging that sounds too full of itself and based on a predictable "ghetto" aesthetic ("ghetto" for lack of a better term, I don't know shit about this) that's basic as fuck.

Fuck off boldfaure, you underaged moron

sorry anon but being anon doesn't change your shit taste and conforming to /mu/
>>61170760
which song senpai
>>61170775
definitely not underaged, and definitely smarter than you.
>>61170792
I don't really conform to /mu/, I often criticize people here when they're being pretentious or childish.
Sometimes I don't post TAW just because at this point I've exhausted all I can talk about with it. I've written a huge review of it and discussed it in many threads. At this point it's boring for /mu/.
(record's still GOAT, just talking about /mu/ posting)

Young Thug is bridging the gap between art music and pop music

This desu
>>61170911
truly the Frank Zappa of our generation

Seriously, the only people who don't see Thug's genius are anti-art psuedo-intellectuals who play video games and browse reddit all day.

Hey now
It was it's own good thing until about the 21st century
Then again I'm speaking from an autistic 20 year old millenial's point of view
>>61170993
I'm not joking
>>61171009
Young Thug isn't hip-hop music
Young Thug is the Julius Eastman of the 21st century
>>61171018
I sort of agree. I like hip-hop and don't really have much against Thugger, but trap really does nothing for me desu.
>>61171049

Hopsin is awful, but he's exactly on point in his impression of all these shitty trap artists. Young Thug included.
>>61171162
No he's not.
Young Thug doesn't use autotune since 2013
this album and fetty wap were both so fucking bad.
>>61170327

I legitimately listen to Young Thug when I'm feeling a little down his melodies cure my sadness.
FIRST YOU GET THAT MONEY THEN YOU GET THAT POWER
