May 11, 2016 35. Freestyle Maybe a top 5 collab between Thug and RHQ. The chemistry is unreal. The latter kicks it off waxing poetic about wanting his son to go to college despite what white america might make of him. And then Thug walks in like the man of the year. It's a thing of beauty. I want Quan medication he got pain pills But I need to see my girl to make my pain heal ...but I ain't never been in love so I don't know how pain feel 34. Speed Racer Here's a fun fact: this and free gucci were made in the same 1 hour session. Here's a question: HOW? I know this is probably a lot higher up for most but like I said, a lot of these tracks have the same replay value to me and it's hard to say which one I realyl like more. I'm still moving s--- around on my list as I write this lol. But anyways, Thug doesn't give a d--- if you care and neither do I TBH. I'm an astornaut, and I'm shittin' on you like I'm constipated. Don't need no problems cause I'm ballin out there. The tracks aesthetic is incredibly serene and Thug rides the beat as smooth as butter...this is just another reason why Metro's work with Thug eclipses his work with Future. My favorite part might be when Thug shouts out Caillou, Ryu, and then address Wayne with 1 line "They say I, you, nah n----- you, me." It's honestly brilliant. And yo, this one time I was at a concert and my gun showed...because I was in Cali wearin' no clothes. s--- was brazy. 33. The Promise Where Metro and Thug make euphoric anthems, London and Thug make pure soul music. The Promise is one of the best examples of Thug's writing and would be in like my top 10 of the best tracks Thug's ever made. Who woulda thought the song that starts out with "skeet skeet" would somehow end up with Thug listing the names of all 6 of his kids (in place of a traditional hook) and promising that him, or his brothers/sisters/family would always be there for them? One of my favorite moments in any Thug song: My kids go by uh, Jacob, Kyvion, Haiti, Hayden, Amir, Maury, and... I swear to God I ain't sorry b---- I got a maid that'll watch 'em in the dark And I got some sisters that'll watch 'em like a guardian Plus I got some elders that'll watch 'em like a guard The song also contains plenty of other fantastic turns of phrase, including this other incredibly self-aware and poignant bit: I don't trust you no worryOops I meant worthy I know it's kinda hard to get these Words I'm saying, I'm steady praying, amen Please forgive me for my sins, please twin I don't wanna be departed from you, you me and You know I'm you It's just so good. 32. Best Friend What else is there to say about Thug's biggest solo hit to date? He took a meme and made it a clinic in rapping. He's the trap Michael Jackson moonwalkin, and you can't arrest him because he's just talking about his necklace...okay? 31. I Need War Another fun fact: this was WAY higher on my list originally. Like, top 20. But rankings are dumb anyways so whatever. This lowkey might be my favorite TI/Thug collab. From TI's spitfire verse to him adlibing for Thug, it's a great display of their natural chemistry. And Thug comes through with a whirlwind of a feature man. When Thug lets go of all structure during his verse and just emotes, it's hard not to be swept up in the climax. If I was counting blue cheese I wouldn't like ranch anymore either. @ThyNeighbour @Enigma @SWZA @Fazers @Lil Flash Stan @Squid @Mow @Fayetville @Iceman @itgetsthe hoesagain @BigCountry @Patti Mayonnaise @Ordinary Joel @crowtv @furface @JG2 @Meero @Swizz @Packman @Soldier @Trippy Skippy @Mikey
