    I mean, it didn't get radio airplay necessarily but I knew a LOT of people that really f----- with that song. People that weren't even necessarily Thugger fans before it.

    h---, it was definitely in the first wave of Thug songs that I really loved.

    Oh no, don't get it confused, Narsh knows this to. Kendrick will always come #1 for me. But that doesn't mean I can't stretch my horizions even more...

    All thugger needs is a few well placed singles/features to really explode. I want
    1. Thugger X Lana
    2. Thugger X Rocky X KDOT X Drake
    3. Thugger X Weeknd
    But especially Thugger X Lana. Listen to freak and tell me they wouldn't sound heavenly together.

    because most of his music just isn't that accessible. People think he's too "weird"

    if we're just talking about hip hop then sure, but come on man... if positioned correctly, him being too "weird" shouldn't stop him from being a staple in pop culture

    you don't really need to be considered "real hip hop" or to be all over the radio to be big though,

    and hes already getting a lot of radio play (urban radio).
