@krackdagawd @LeVraiPapi mind telling this gentleman how yall got into Thug's music?:jbhmm:


Was it a mainstream push by the media as he says? Or did you think he was a weak rapper, stumble across listening to the Barter 6 album by chance one day, and then became sold on the fact Thug actually can make good entertaining music....and became hooked ever since?:jbhmm:

Not only me breh. A Lotta dudes listen to him as well. I needed some music to work out to and Young Thug music and hook gimme the best vibes and amp me up.

I mean we have neggas in here who find Game dope and I don't. To each their own and neggas gotta give dude his props. He outshined TI in a song.

He's one of my fave artists out there now and the man is just making dope music.

What else can I say ?

I'll take this one, Newzz.

I've never once heard Thugger on the radio outside of "About the Money". I happened to see a post regaling his melodic talents and penchant for rhythm on the Coli one slow Friday afternoon and took it upon myself to listen to a few tracks on the video site YouTube.

I came across the song "Best Friend" and was fascinated by the rhythmic mastery Thugger exhibited in every aspect of the track: the verse, the hook, even the adlibs (the perfectly modulated vibrato on one of the "scrrrrrr"s captured my attention in a way no other musical moment has in years). That, combined with the esoteric visuals and dance moves clearly delineated from the traditional Sabar dance of the Senegalese, had me fascinated. Thugger was so effortlessly creating a distinctly AFRICAN American aesthetic rhythmically, melodically, and visually. Truly a masterclass performance.

Then, once I looked into the lyrics and saw themes of rugged independence, self-belief, and familial consciousness-- I could never go back to judging Thugger's work through the narrow lens I did before. I suddenly "got it". I started to do a close listening of the rest of his discography and felt foolish for having thereto precluded myself from recognizing the sonic savant.
Dappled and repped!
