    its both extremely artistic and it sounds amazing. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best sonical experience an album gave me since the early 90s (in any genre).

    But as a critic, I have to put my own experience aside so I never talk about the "sounding good" argument... I can't, it's not objective.

    Same... it's sad because like some critics said, I think its the most musical hip hop album ever created but how the album sound for me is irrelevant.

    As you said, when you can present a clear argument for why you dislike or like something, and the opposition can't do the same for their own opinion, it's usually a lost cause

    I see it with young thug all the time. Instead of forming their own coherent thoughts as to why they think I'm wrong in calling him a great artist, they just cry and go in circles

    Martin connor wrote the best review when he said TPAB was the greatest hip hop album ever, but then again martin knows what hes talking about, dude ghostwrote for so many artists..

    So I've asked you about 5 times now for those young thug reviews you've said you've written

    Where are they and why are you hiding them. You were so quick to say you've heard all his releases from this year because you had to review them...so why won't you link them to me?

    Were you lying?

    That's because you have never been able to tell us why Thug is great lmfao. You're always trying to reach for the stars and have yet to link us to a decent song


    Like you couldn't even tell us why young thug is better than Big Sean

    Narsh thinking people don't understand young thug, hes always crying because he will never have a similar praise... but for legitimate reasons.

    All the young thug songs I heard were like pure garbage.

    He's telling you why Thug is great WAY WAY MORE than you telling why TPAB is aoty. And no, linking a picture of metacritic score isn't really saying WHY the album is aoty..

    See this is your problem. I've WRITTEN about thugs merits countless times. Do your own research when it comes to his music, I'm not going to do your homework for you.

    But if you want, my two cents about thug are articulated all over the place. As many many users on here can let you know.

    It's not my fault you plug your ears like a 5 five year old

    Can you even imagine that birdman paid Talib to cosign trash thug? we both laughed when he told me that. He was like: "so many artists told me they got paid to cosign this autistic rapper"

    reasons why young thug makes great songs and great music

    -great melodies and diverse soundscapes
    -great, diverse flow
    -godtier delivery depending on who u ask

    its ok for u rappity rap types to not listen to him but its not ok for u to hate on him when u obviously dont appreciate the music aspect of rap music

    I don't care about thug having "similar praise" as Kendrick because I'm not a f---ing child

    Seriously, how old are you

    All of that is wrong though and none of his melodies meet the 5 criteria that makes a melody sounds good.
