Apr 16, 2015 yikes I accidentally put logic instead of thugger just to clarify, I'm talking about thugger in the above post
Apr 16, 2015 After first listen Check, Halftime, Knocked Off, Just Might Be are the dopest songs on the project. The pros of this project are clear to me: really crazy flows and most of these melodies are great. The beat selection for the most part is dope too. My problem with Young Thug is still that I don't care really what he has to say. Sure he might give you a little insight on something like Just Might Be, but for the most part its few cool quotables and a lot of corny lines other artists would get butchered for. Even Rae Sremmurd have the quotables, but they still have clearer song ideas and verses that fit a certain theme even when there's not much substance there. That's hardly ever the case with Young Thug, which is cool but its the truth. I feel like people should give Young Thug a chance because there is some dope stuff you can take away, but as an artist I will never truly take him seriously because he doesn't present himself as someone I should take seriously. That's why I don't agree when his fans put him top 5 or say that he's even better than Wayne. He's that guy that goes to a job interview dressed in t-shirt and gym shorts and his fans somehow expects him to get the job. Seriously, doesn't mean he should have socially conscious material or should be more serious in tone, but as an artist he comes across as sometimes gimmicky. He's not that genuine to me and thats the only reason he can't be up there with best right now. He's definitely enjoyable though.
Apr 16, 2015 You're the only user of the page that no matter what you say I just can't get mad with you And for the rest of y'all I don't understand why they need to insult Logic lol
Apr 16, 2015 Hey look, your first straight forward/rational post so far in this thread But yeah I definitely understand those sentiments. Id like to add that its not his delivery really...his delivery is something I can see people not f---ing with because of how abrasive it can be at times, and how weird his voice is in general...its his flow. he has an impeccable ear for melodies and just, like, sense of rhythm in general. so much of his music literally puts a smile on my face the minute I hear it. and Im not being hyperbolic in anyway. like when I hear this, I cant help but love life
Apr 16, 2015 It's not so much that we're insulting logic, we're just insulting you for stanning logic. I'm going to be honest, Logic's old mixtapes were pretty good but you're coming into the young thug thread talking s--- about young thug and you're surprised people are defending him? nah you know what you're doing, you're just a troll
Apr 16, 2015 He has so much material man. So obviously you could come across like 15 tracks straight that are similar in style. but then another 15 that arent even close nahmean? also sigh @Young Sinatra at least you "tried" lol
Apr 16, 2015 Complex - 4/5 HipHopDX - 4/5 Exclaim! - 8/10 Rolling Stone - 4/5 Pitchfork - 8/10 XXL - 4/5 WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING STUFF UP
Apr 16, 2015 But this is the Barter 6 thread, here I am just talking about the album, nothing less nothing more, I'm not surprised the people is defending him lol Read again the comment homie I actually liked some beats and features from this project so there is a huge chance of Hopsin getting the worst project of 2015 :;'(:
Apr 16, 2015 i'm a music critic for a living. i'm friends or acquaintances with almost all the prominent rap critics you could possibly read. the rich g--- tape is as close to a point of consensus as any record last year--even moreso than run the jewels.
Apr 16, 2015 Respect your post/articulating your thoughts brodie Only thing Id say is that picking up what thugger's saying like learning a new language i feel like how i felt trying to read a clockwork orange in high school. had to have a f---in packet full of 5 pages of slang to pick up on lmao but once you cross that threshold he becomes one of the most quotable artists alive because of how concise is writing usually is. without a doubt undoubtedly. Like there are SO many lines on each one of these tracks that are gonna get run back by me endlessly
Apr 16, 2015 Yeah well after I saw you calling this album of the year I can't take you seriously I'm sorry lol
