May 31, 2016 3. Mixtape While Chance tried his best to emulate a 19 year old Thug, the Goat floated all over this track and proved why he's the best rapper alive. His verse comes out the gate with quotables (bad lil mama she gettin it obama she sting like a bumblebee hot as the sauna) and soon he's being rubbed down by lotion by your girl as he's simultaneously in your perimeter ready to gun you down. Not only is the verse endlessly enjoyable from a writing pov, the vocal performance is breathtaking as his voices cracks, squeaks and croaks its way to the "Just look at me baby, I came from the sewer" climax. One of my favorite verses on one of my favorite albums of the year. @Meero @mattagascar @BigCountry @Boyz N The Suburbs @Groovy Tony @Geektos @Fayetville @Lil Flash Stan @Withus Boomin @Feel No Wayz
May 31, 2016 It was a nice verse a little underwhelming tho. I felt that he could come much harder, pause. Anyway family and for my people def better than this one.
May 31, 2016 how is it underwhelming??? but yeah in terms of vocal range this is very similar to family and for my people.
May 31, 2016 2. Texas Love (verse 1) Although the 2nd verse is more straightforward/easier to follow and has those #BARS, the first verse is everything I love about young thug. It's abrasive, it's experimental, it's self-aware. This is a prime example of Thug not letting himself get too comfortable. The style he developed during the rich g--- era is fantastic but it was no near as volatile as the material he made during the ICFN/1017 era and this acts as a 2016 rendition of the same creative risks that paid off in the past. It's crazy how expressive this guy can be using polar opposite styles...in the same d--- verse ("I dont care what y'all sayin n----- just do you, ay" to "I just picked a 40 up on a back end"). I love the slurring, the mumbling, the screeching and the euphoric singing and I can't wait to see how this all plays out on Hitunes... Texas Love SOTY btw. @Meero @mattagascar @BigCountry @Boyz N The Suburbs @Groovy Tony @Geektos @Fayetville @Lil Flash Stan @Withus Boomin @Feel No Wayz
May 31, 2016 Top 5 thug verses of 2016: no specific order Verse 2 of With Them Verse 1 of Digits Alien verse Ready verse WCW verse
May 31, 2016 Forgot about verse 2 with them! Current top 5 now: King troup Verse 2 with them Texas love For my people I do this
May 31, 2016 I dunno it seems that he wasnt aggressive/high energy enough on this one. Definitetly not a bad verse, just feels like they was more in the tank
May 31, 2016 Completely agree with texas love as number 2. I get what u mean with the experimenting of verse 1. It legit infuriates me that this single kind of died out.. Good beat, hook, rapping? Hope it comes back on ICNF4.
May 31, 2016 Don't think an overly aggressive verse would've fit the track...and what do you call what he does half way thru w the "perimeter" part if not high energy haha But I feel u
