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

Is Young Thug gifted technically speaking?

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
Shiiiiiiiiit Cube and Primo is a dream matchup :wtf:

Snoop had a couple Primo tracks and sounded great. The thing about Primo and his production style is he makes everybody sound good. If you sound bad over Primo you need to hangup the mic

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
It aint regional. Thuggin words are enunciated, more than chance the rapper. He's just spittin that shyt machjne gun speed.

I'm not biggest trap fan, but it's something thugga. Future. Quavo and quan got that them other nikkas dont. Its talent within that fukkery.

This is where being a 16 year old from the United Arab Emirates will get you in trouble. :mjgrin:
Cube was rapping over Dre in 88-89 before Dre started doing G Funk. Dre's early shyt isn't all that different from boom Bap of the late 80s. Then Cube rapped over the bomb squad :wow:
Then he bodied a beat like Bird in the Hand :wow:
I'm 17 and still the most memorable songs from Cube are not him doing his best NY impression and obviously Dre wasn't doing G Funk with NWA but that shyt don't sound like a Preemo beat to me

Young Thug is actually and extremely talented lyricist. His subject matter and consistency is what needs work. When Thugga is at his best, he's easily one of the best doing it right now. He already has a few classic signals under his belt as such and early stage of his career.

No he doesn't. Even DJ Premiere couldn't save Group Home from being ass. They fukked up classic beats on their album
Just like how Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan make ass music:yeshrug:

and the melodies nikkas here rave about are pretty wack too cause these nikkas can't actually sing.

No, no matter with how much panache or speed you do it with, mumble rap is mumble rap. Is he the best of them, yes, easily and does he possess the talent to be a top tier MC, I believe he does, but A. His consistency isn't there. B. You can only rap about the same shyt for so long before I begin to tune out.
