Apr 7, 2019 Thug got the WOAT covers. They're so terrible they're GOAT worthy. Anyway just gonna plug in the top trap albums imo. 1. Flockaveli 2. DS2 3. B6 4. Trap Muzik 5. TM101 6. King 7. Rodeo 8. Urban Legend 9. Trap Or Die 3 10. Chicken Talk (mixtape, but album worthy)
Apr 7, 2019 Off Topic but this was probably the first time I heard Thug. Knew I had something in my hands.
Apr 7, 2019 Wait, Jeezy's Trap or Die 3? from a few years ago? I never even bothered listening to it. was it that good? list is impeccable otherwise
Apr 7, 2019 I'm probably gonna get heat for putting up TOD 3 so high. It banged hard when it came out. Personally one of his better projects. Very slept on. That's just me.
Apr 7, 2019 Its weird, I listened to Church in these Streets and Pressure and they both letdowns so I just assumed TOD3 was skippable. If its an official WheresTheMeat recommendation then I'll definitely check it out though
Apr 7, 2019 Half time is one of my favorite Thug songs. For Y'all remains by far the best imo, but thats another album. Despite its somewhat corny name, it sounds so d--- polished. Thug shows his talents over beautiful production. I made it clear that I sometimes get bored of a full trap album, but this ain't one of them. The melodies are so different that every song sounds unique. My 2nd fav thug album behind BTG. Also Amazing proves that Thug x Jacquees is a great combination! Tip/birdman etc deliver as well. I completely agree w @WheresTheMeat that the cover sucks but I never care about covers/titles etc. It won't make my rating of the actual music lower. 8.5/10
Apr 7, 2019 Not necessarily. It kinda reminds me of Future's version of Trapsoul. So it's like some R&B and trap hybrid some sort of way. But it doesn't feel like trap to me.
Apr 7, 2019 Yeah same here. Incredible, testify etc are not trap songs at all. Thats why hndrxx is my fav future album, love the diversity in production.
Apr 7, 2019 I never used to give trap albums a chance back in the day and used to write them off as 'autotuned trash' but boy did that change when i first started Uni Lol. Every pre drinks, every house party this s--- bumped, im pretty sure Cant Tell and Constantly Hating and Half Time was some of my fav songs from 2015. This album alongside DS2 were two of my fav albums from that year. Easy 8/10 for me.
Apr 8, 2019 the good days of section 80 when this album was out. Narsh was annoying but you miss seeing his opinion on Thug although it was always very very positive
Apr 8, 2019 9/10 Boy this album is a trip, from so many standpoints this counts as Thug's arguably finest solo work but that title could belong to just about any of his work (if you ask me I'd go with BTG). There is a consistent airy sound, courtesy of frequent collaborators LondonOnTheTrack & Wheezy, those two are musical Siamese twins for Thug--it allows all this unfiltered ebullience and unlimited cadences to just let loose on those keys and brisk drums. It's a combination that honestly never gets boring, it's built a platform for his musical kids like Lil Baby & Gunna, their sonic blueprints trace back to this album. It's hard to point flaws at this, Thug delivers such a creative masterclass it's just perplexing. I think I gravitate a little more to Jeffery & BTG just cause it's Thug in a different element, but this was one h--- of a way to break the gates and this whole timeframe mixed with the Slime Seasons was such a blast to experience.
Apr 8, 2019 Exactly this. Everything changed after this dropped. Its debatable whether its his best (i think it is) but it (plus the Slime Seasons) opened the floodgates for an entire new generation and sound. I STILL think Jeff has it in him to deliver an all-time genre-defining 10/10 classic that he hasn't quite done yet. Even though his music's been a bit spotty the past year or 2, he has the creative genius. I have faith its still coming.
