    Thug has so many great songs that in a top 20 list your always going to say why isn't such & such not on the list.

    obviously a really well written article. some of the songs included i've heard, others i haven't. so this opened my eyes to some thug songs that are new to me.

    i like a number of his songs, but the exceptionalism still isn't there for me.

    and i don't get how a guy who's the "best rapper currently" can be so polarizing, which he obviously is. i mean if he's so great then you'd think he'd have a lot more ppl convinced, right?

    Greatness is usually polarizing, tbh

    I don't listen to Young Thug, but I thought it could be the occasion... I listened to the 20 songs you listed, and I really like a couple of those (Old English and 2 cups stuffed), thank you.

    1.--- wpg is claiming he's currently the best at what he does (which is obviously a bold statement)......if that's true.......then he should have a whole helluva a lot more ppl convinced than he does

    2. who matters?

    he has a cosign from everyone in the industry that matters, ex.) Ye, Drake, Rihanna, all the best producers want to work with him. Birdman may be an a hole but he has a great eye for talent if you look at who he has worked with.

    Reading the last few posts without proper context it looks as if wpg thinks he's the best at his craft and narsh jumped in to defend someone saying he wasn't

    You still didn't explain why talent has to be proportional to recognition

    All the major outlets that rate him highly

    Gucci, Kanye, drake, and the countless other artists that respect him

    my point is if someone is the best at what they do, then you would think that there would be a much stronger consensus that's he's great. young thug doesn't have that. not even close.

    fantano gave barter 6 a 5. how can someone who's supposedly the best rapper currently only receive a 5 on his latest major project??????????????

    ratings are such bs. What gives fantano/others the power to decide whether an album is good or not?

    So to get this straight @TimmyT, let's ignore consigns from Kanye and drake but cite fantano as someone who's relevant in hip hop?

    Let's not forget the co-sign by the GOAT 50 Cent, that shouldn't be overlooked.
