to you kids the word trap just means "hi hats"
>>61585973
nah, it means the house down the street that got busted by the feds
i want to fuck him in the ass after listening to his music
>>61585781
fag. music is bearable at best
>>61585802
KEK
why doesn't he just come out. it could only help him at this point. then again his main demographic are black teens and white suburband kids aged 16 - 23 and they are the most homophobic groups .
>>61585887
>considered good only by sheltered contrarian white kids on this board.
that's objectively false and i dont even like thugger
he's one of the most popular trap rappers atm
I love his music and the guy too. Seems like a genuinely nice person. And even though he wears womens clothing he always looks pretty cool imo.
>>61586324
>said the sheltered white kid who has never been to any of his live shows
sure thing senpai, melon loves him and so does p4k, everybody loves thugger ;DDD
>>61585973

objectively the best "singer-rapper". Unlike Drake he's actually not afraid to use his voice to the full potential. I don't like any full project of his from top to bottom, but some songs like "Best Friends" are amazing.
He's shit, some of the worst lyrics with no substance, generic ass trap beats for the most part and the fucking mumbling is annoying as all hell.
no homo we smokin penises
>>61590203
His lyrics employ a lot of figurative language, they're actually very interesting a lot of the time
>>61590252
I could go to literally any of his songs and find a bunch of shitty lines, just cause he used figurative language doesn't mean he does a good job at it.

Any atl rap artists similar to him and migos and future? Preferably more underground.
I literally cannot stop listening to him, for some reason. No other rapper has such a great beat selection, has such a cool way of rapping over beats.
I just wish he tried harder with lyrics. I'm not talking about content, just, it's like he doesn't even try to have monosyllabic rhymes, you know?
Mine is a fucking classic song though, maybe in my top 10 favorite hip hop songs ever.

By what standard that you've pulled out of your ass is the one of the most popular? I haven't heard him get a single second of radio play where I'm at and all the normies I talk to think he's trash if they even know what the fuck I'm talking about
i liked his song

that's because you and your friends are white

uh huh
thats what I thought
>>61594576
There isn't anything remotely impressive about this
Both Barter 6 and Slime Season were in my Top 20 last year.
I think he's got a unique vision and style.
>>61594576
i wouldnt put this in the top ~150 young thug songs
>>61594653
hahahahaha ok kid. I live on Troost in KC you dumb fuck
>>61585887
Why do the critics love him then?

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/young_thug
>>61594751
That's because it's Atlanta dude... nowhere else gives a fuck about him. Drake gets radio play 24/7 all across the country
>>61594633
You're joking, right? Young Thug might be the most unique musician of his generation. 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.
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.

What does that even mean?
>>61594813
What is this trash.
stop making your own mixtapes you shit.
Rich gang era doesn't even fit with barter 6.
And you didnt even add anything before rich gang. fuck sake.
>>61594834
How does that not answer your question? Critics love him because they pick the flavor of the month based on what they think will be trendy and even if they don't it's just they're opinion at the end of the day, and their opinion doesn't magically mean any more than any regular person just because they're a "critic"
>>61594905
I would say someone like Fantano has an opinion that matters more because of the amount of music he has heard and how he listens to the music as opposed to casual listeners
>>61594881
the beats are minimalist giving thug more space to exhibit his rapping capabilities
>>61594811
good job im too lazy to type these things out
even if its copied
>>61594780
>nowhere else gives a fuck about him
That's why he sells out his shows all over the US an Europe
That's why every one wants to interview him or have him on his show and
That's why his videos on Youtube have more views combined than most other rap artists
That's why his video Best Friend has 56 million views, more than Travis Scott's Antidote, even though the latter has been pushed so hard by the media to be some kind of big deal and is even in a relationship with Rihanna, one of the most famous celebrities.
With That has 46 million views
Power has 26 million views
Check has 68 million views
Lifestyle has 204 million views
Hookah has 202 million views
Halftime has 23 million views
About the Money has 137 million views
Tell Em has 23 million views
and countless other videos with millions of views each
Not even Drake, Future or Kanye have this kind of views on Youtube.
But nobody gives a shit about him right?
>>61594937
Ok see that's all you had to say. Saying shit like "provides a surface for his words to dance upon" means nothing and just makes you sound like a faggot
>>61594899
>Rich gang era doesn't even fit with barter 6.
It does you should listen to it in that order
>And you didnt even add anything before rich gang. fuck sake.
It's not supposed to be only from mid 2014 and on, when Thug developed his style more
>>61594928
agree to disagree
>>61594928
fantanos review of barter 6 was garbage he didnt even listen to the lyrics
he said the only song on there with a coherent theme was dome, which he thought was about getting head
theres literally only one line about getting dome on there, its called dome cause theyre freestyling
meanwhile the tape has songs with actual themes like constantly hating and od
>>61594905
>Critics love him because they pick the flavor of the month based on what they think will be trendy
And why do they think it "will be trendy"?
Do you see where I'm getting at, you're moving goalposts btw
>>61594928
>Fantano
lol
>>61594992
Nah listen
If you say you like a table that is an opinion. Your opinion. But then a carpenter comes by and tells you that table is ugly and not well made, you should buy this other table. You say "no I like how it looks this one is better". The carpenter explains to you the finish, the wood type, the practiical use and aesthetics are all better. He also brings in 10 other carpenters and 9 of them agree.
This probably means the table you (who has less knowledge and experience) picked is worse.
Your opinion, while it is an opinion, matters less than an expert in whatever subject.
>>61595018
>>61595040
I just named a critic. It didnt really matter who.
>>61595114
ok but unlike art, tables have a practical application that can be measured in objective terms
>>61595192
Then replace everything I said with an art critic. That was the point.
>>61595192

>>61595238
I never said I depend on the critics, or that I care about the critics.
He said that only "sheltered contrarian white kids on this board" liked him, and then I pointed him towards all the critics that like him. And not only critics, but established artists like Elton John, Andre 2000, Big Boi, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West.
>>61585781

>>61595363

Yeah YMCMB was a good place for him to launch himself into fame, but don't many pop rappers achieve fame through this method as well? Regardless if you listen to his early mixtapes (Room for Improvement & Comeback Season) you can't deny the kid had talent (although I know you will, or at least feel you will).
>and stealing other people style
Who's? He was one of the first mainstream pop rappers to talk emotional about women and it was pretty against the grain considering he became a meme for being a soft ass dude.
>Other than that he's a decent pop artists as far as chart pop goes, but he's not a good Hip Hop artist
"I only listen to real hip hop". That's how you sound right now.

>This probably means the album you (who has less knowledge and experience) picked is worse.
>Your opinion, while it is an opinion, matters less than an expert in whatever subject.
You can seriously tell me you think your opinion is as correct as Roger Ebert when you watch a film can you fucking dip
>>61595760
show me a rap critic with the same credibility as rogert ebert
>>61595775
>>61595775
This and also yes because it's entirely subjective. Now I may trust Roger Ebert's opinion on film because he is knowledgeable but that doesn't make his opinion any more valuable than anyone else's and if you think it does then you are a pretentious retard
>>61595775
No modern critic has the same credibility as he did.
Anyway the point is you seem to think your opinion matters as much as anyone elses just because something is based on emotion.
>>61595822
Nah. A politicians opinion matters far more than yours.
If Kanye West tells everyone young thung is good vs you telling everyone he is bad who will everyone listen to?
>>61595864
What does a politician have to do with anything? Also we aren't talking about who people are going to listen to. You're saying that critics have higher quality opinions and I'm saying they don't
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SUiK-HThYM
he good, but yall need to keep an eye on lil uzi vert
to bring this dumb critic argument back to young thug
critics are the dumbasses calling thug "post-verbal"
which is fucking retarded and overlooks the effort thug puts into his lyrics
>>61595908
if a famous person backs something with his opinion things change and people listen
if you back it nothing happens, because your opinion does not matter. Your opinion is of less quality.

give that man 18 Grammies.
>>61597181
Idk what song those lines are from. I just wanted to point out the meaning of that masturbation line from "Constantly Hating". The subject matter of that song is public scrutiny, from law enforcement to haters to dickriders. And the dickriders are pussies who stay on social media all day and then jack off everytime Thugga does anything. They're masturbafing on him.

>>61597395
The freestyle he did in France was funny as hell. He choked right after he said a bitch looked handsome. I think it was all good though, because even his own homies were snickering. I think Thugga is able to laugh at himself.
>>61597500
I don't know but it's fucking sick when they do. "Do It Now" by Mos Def is my favorite song like that. Sorry if that makes me look like I'm tipping my snapback.

>>61597529
please don't ever be sorry about shit like that.

being able to draw parallels between new shit you love and its seeds in older styles is one of the best things about rap music and music in general.
don't ever give that up for memes.

>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.

I just think Young Thug is basically your typical dumb hoodrat who happens to have a natural talent for melody. You don't need to justify being a fan of him by pretending he says anything deep or satirical, I love his music simply because of his smooth singy flows and catchy hooks he keeps pumping out over great beats
Noone has perfected the sing-rap style as much as him in my opinion, if you listen to this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCLT1aJLF4I and concentrate on the intricacies of his voice and the little melodies change-ups and still don't 'get'/like it then he simply isn't for you
Also if it helps I don't listen to this type of rap in general, I think Future is awful and Drake is super mediocre

Black, lived in the hood till i was 14, saw a man get shot in my driveway at 4.
I think Young Thug is good for what he does he just lacks flexibility and is more than likely stuck in the mixtape zone.
