For my MCs: Can we at least agree that from a technical standpoint Young Thug is incredibly gifted?

Is Young Thug gifted technically speaking?

No.

He can't spit multis. He can't ever hop on a classic preemo beat, he can't freestyle, he would never be able to battle the way a real emcee is supposed to be able to at the drop of a hat, he can't perform, he can't enunciate.

No.
Nobody's rapping over boom bap in 2017, give it up. And to say Young Thug doesn't have multi's is ridiculous, look up his lyrics on Rap Genius. And what do you mean by "he can't enunciate"? I can understand everything he says

Oh he doesn't fit your New Yawk standards of what a solid rapper is. OK COOL.

He can rap. Crazy cadences.
I don't hear it at all breh. :yeshrug:
I know you're an actual rapper and all though so I'll have to defer to your technical understanding...:ehh:
But I really trust my untrained ear to tell me when a rapper is killing shyt and the :hhh::picard:reaction that I make :lolbron:

If you've legit only heard some of these "mumble" brehs on the radio or on hit singles than you have no depth to really engage in the conversation either...
Fair point. But are they rapping with completely different styles on album cuts?

It's easy to understand if you're from the south. I can't understand east coast nikkas sometimes because they got some ugly ass voices
There is a difference between slang, accents and just mumbling I understand 95% of southern rappers just not the new 5% of mumblers.

Desiigner sounds like this too I'm able to understand Panda because autotune was not abused timmy turner makes no sense however.

Spitting on a Preemo beat is supposed to be some measure on how great rapper is? I bet Cube wouldn't sound that good on a Preemo but he's top 10 DOA
