    Let's debat.
    First of all, i have to say that i like Young Thug music. In my opinion he's a brilliant artist. The way he rap is really innovative, i would even say visionary. Yea.
    His rap-singing is beautiful and that's the main reason why i start to become a fan of this man's work (this and the fact he has really funny lines/good wordplays plus great productions).
    But there's one thing that prevent me to consider him to be the absolute best (like lot of people does on this forum) and the problem is that he talks a lot about b------s, n----s and money (ok not only but it's an important part of his art). And for me to call a rapper the new GOAT i need him to transmit a real message, something intelligent, something "adult" through his lyrics and i don't feel it's the case with Young Thug.
    With that being said, i only heard like 10% of his HUGE catalogue so i may be wrong (and maybe there's some
    subtleties i didn't get, english is not my first language after all).
    So in your opinion, is he a mature artist?
    Imma ask the specialists, @Narsh @6ixgawd @WPG and all the thugger's fans :khaled2:

    "i am...the black kid worried are my folks"

    "but i ain't never been in love, i don't know how pain feel"

    there's nothing about thug's music that lacks thought or substance. you need to listen better.

    He does use those words but the way he uses them is usually creative. Analogies and double meanings are in a lot of his songs.

    Ok but even if he has some of these type of lines, is his message as a whole really mature?
    I re-watch some of his videos yesterday and few "images" are really lamentable, for example the way he counts his money on "Check" or when he pees on it on "With That" (at 1:03)
