[link] Washington Post: Listening to the post-verbal brilliance of Young Thug

[10:31]

I.If rap music is an attempt to make sense of this world out of rhythm and rhyme, then the music of Young Thug is the sound of that world being dismantled. You can hear what he’s doing as a sluice of electric gibberish. Or you can hear it as the post-verbal eruption that best reflects the incomprehensibility of the right now, an inside-out soliloquy for our scrambled American mood. Either way, he’s a thriller.

"What’s more, the flexibility of his voice allows him to pull from a wider, weirder spectrum of sensations. He can rap melodically, emotively and wordlessly, as if he’s suffering hiccups of ecstasy, or choking to death on a Funyun, or sobbing hysterically into a silk pillowcases."
