lyor cohen ruined his career, it's well documented

I like Lil Baby and Gunna but It makes no sense to me. Is Young Thug unironically too high minded for normies?

>Cohen
Every time

I think so. He speaks on an emotional wavelength that few can tap into. For some ungodly reason, he gets lumped in with Future, but if you listen to their collaborative efforts, the amount that Thug has to dumb down his flows to match future is actually insane.

Explain me the appeal of this guy. All he does is mumbling in autotune.

Just ignore them. Another zoomer thread.

too high iq required to listen

Hopsin is cringe but he is based for this
youtube.com/watch?v=IiNNBc557OQ

You’re forgetting about birdman

Turdman is a black Jew

He will be recognised as one of the truly greats one day, and his contemporaries know it. He's on a Ye album ffs

But that’s not young thug at all
youtu.be/Djf9es4rnXY

This is insulting to jews

Just explain to me what is his appeal.

You really expect a man that posts Hopsin to have any semblance of common sense ?

>introduced a heavily melodic style of hip hop that wasn’t based on sad meloncholic bs by drake or kid cudi helping push the envelope of what it means to be a rapper and even though he debuted in the early 2010s he has tons of influence in the modern hip hop landscape

The "melodic style of hip hop" you are describing is just him contorting his voice into a series of odd timbres like a broken wind instrument. That's the appeal?

>So he is only relevant in Ra music?
To say he’s “only” relevant in rap music I think is an understatement because he introduced a completely new style that was very different at the time, people hated him at first but grew to accept it for what it is when others started imitating. He’s one of the big reasons why you can sing as a rapper and don’t have to be sad or introspective. It can just be apart of your flow and melody and tone can be apart of rap lyrics. rap music is pop music and his influence stretches far beyond rap music as other genres incoirporate rap style instrumentals and use his style as a baseline.
>Also how would you describe his style, precisely.
Melodic trap music

>He's comparing Young Thug to fucking Ella Fitzgerald.
Fucking idiot. Young Thug can't even hold a note, let alone perform rhythm as complex as the one Ella performed.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony did it 2 decades before him and it was waaaay better.

Yes, it’s unconventional and pleasing to the ear

Thug sadly hasn’t put out a strong album since Jeffrey, and none of the songs on that album were radio material, although they were very good. His carnage collab was also good and pretty interesting. It seems like he has a mountain of potential stuck inside the mind of an up and coming soundcloud rapper.

Wow, scat rapping. That's fucking nothing that wasn't already done before

Tech N9ne build his flow and rhymes from scatting rhythms he can use to improvise after :

And many rappers do the exact same thing, that's not new.

Also KL was clearly influenced by scat singing in "For Free"

>intellectualizing retarded nigger shit
when will white people finally stop doing this?

This desu

For y’all

First Thug track I ever heard and it changed my life.

If all you care about is “good” singing go watch American Idol you fucking retard

Thoughts on Killed Before? I know it appeared on Super Slimey but it lacks Future and I love it

I'm starting to understand his appeal. He is able to keep the energy common in Trap music while adding melody by contorting his voice, which gives an energetic rhythm to his vocals while also giving ways to interesting melodic components. A lot tried to copy his approach(Gunna, Lil Durk, etc...) it seems, but not everyone do it as well as him.

That’s actually his voice
youtu.be/jv1-cAvvgKU

Ok, maybe I underestimated him, but I highly doubt that he would be able to improvise something on the level of Ella Fitzgerald in terms of rhythmic subdivisions or melody.

you know you can pitch correct live, right?

>talking to him like a child

what did he mean by this?

Yes but I am pretty sure that’s a completely live mic since you can hear flaws in his pitch at times

Young Thug is my favorite person in music but I would be lying if I said he wasn’t almost completely illiterate

what do you like about him?

i don't understand it either. he's in a strange position. radio friendly, big following, extremely influential, artists name drop and reference him all the time, yet he can't make any numbers. and recently he has been loosing it. hope he can come back with something good soon.

Because he's a nigger and as a White man, he think he should worship nigger noises because of White guilt.

What is your opinion on his collaberation with EarthGang recently?

What do people here think about his recent collab with EarthGang?

I would love to see them working together more often.

You may feel differently, as “it all sounds the same” is a common criticism of Trap, but I hear distinct melodies in almost every (solo) song he releases. To me, he is a human jukebox. It’s very improvisational. It just feels organic and sincere to me. Like raw emotion distilled into a melody

Do you have an Asian gf by any chance?

He honestly should make an collab album with Travis Scott and release an track comparable to Sicko Mode in terms of popularity. That they way he will sell a shit ton and we get an incredible album.

This. Mz deepest desire is a Thugga x Trav album, these two just work perfectlz together

no he shouldn't. thugger is always best on his own. he just needs good producers and some better quality control.

>he just needs good producers
METRO THUGGIN NEED SOME MORE NIGGA.

lol funny to see you get upset over this as Ella and Thug are like bookends to me at this point in time. She's the earliest artist I'm a super fan of and Thug is the most recent

David Bowie died so Thugger could take his place. Elton John is next

He was too ahead of his time. By the time people started to warm up to him the artists he influenced like Gunna and Lil Baby starting picking up traction (and if you want to go further back Lil Uzi Vert counts too.) People finding him sus probably didn't help either (with the dresses and all that)
Nowadays I think people like him more for the meme factor than genuinely liking his music.
Also this, this for sure. 300 can't promote his music for shit, there are tons of leaks every few months, and projects like MetroThuggin and HiTunes are still in the vault. What gives?

Yeah it’s definitely some insider shit going on in the industry holding thugger back, this is pretty much an open secret at this point.

Postmodern kike bullshit

Well, you sure have diverse musical taste then. What are some other music that you really like?

Lil baby and gunna are way better

Listen to sold out dates

Lil Durk is better than both of them because on top of being like them, he tell actual stories other than "lol I fucked this bitch lmao"

I love Sold Out Dates but they are still a tier or two below Jeff

as much as i loved thugs music in the past this is the truth

Carti goat anyway

I guess so, but I still like gunna and lil baby better

What is it about gunna's songs that I find so pleasing to hear

To me, gunna’s voice is just smooth like butter

no uzi

the jews fear the thugger

>waaaaaah black people
Why are you in this thread? Fuck off

>my bitch she a jew
What did he mean by this

She a jewEL
Dw I thought he said jew for the longest time too

if you're referring to gunna i think gunna sucks he's a fucking young thug clone and thug signed him and is on so many songs with him it's fucking annoying

a lot of stuff man.
brian eno,rnb, frank ocean, kanye, travis, beach boys in their prime, toni braxton, joni mitchell,bjork, morrissey, kendrick, zappa, 10000 maniacs, tupac, gil scott heron, gaye, teena marie, shit even a couple of Hole songs

Unique/dope delivery
Funny over the top lyrics
Catchy goat hooks
Interesting gritty tracks
Love the Slime concept
Loads of classic tracks
Really interesting individual
isn’t afraid to be sus and himself in a masculine genre

He has an extremely unique delivery that puts a nice twist on the trendy trap sound.
Speaking of said trendy trap sound, his production team knows how to craft extremely melodic and hard-hitting beats that blend with Thugger’s vocals well.
Unlike a fair amount of party/trap rappers, Thugger has a lot of personality that helps build his wacky persona.
Thugger has a knack for writing very catchy and melodic hooks.

He's an ATLien. You are mocking him just like people used to mock Outkast, because of their creativity and unique-ness. In 10 years, people will dick-ride thugger as much as they dick-ride Andre 3k today

that was a very intelligent response user, i like how you addressed what he was saying about intellectualizing nigger shit

a lot of stuff man.

Thugger is unironically to intelligent for rap. That's why critics love him.

Damn. Do you listen to folk music from around the world too?

no pretty much just american/canadian folk music

and mexican bandera music

Noone was making fun of outkast lmao, they had a unique sound but it was very easy to tell they had talent on the mic. Young thug isn't even that unique

Because he is fucking retarded? Have you seen the man talk?

He's not illiterate. He did a Reddit AMA, remember?
