This is the track caught my ear...I normally stick to instrumental music lately too. Not trying to hear dudes rapping about losing their virginity or whining about chicks that did them wrong so I ignore a lot of rap these days....

dude is the most vocally expressive dude in the game. For the current style of rap, he takes it the furthest in terms of melody, rhythm and expression.

As a musicians point of view, black music has always been a case where you take the current style and push it as far as it can go. Just swagging with it. Look at reggae, dancehall, afrobeats etc. We have riddims in dancehall, standards in jazz and blues, in african music its dance where the music styles are based off and in rap the dance element is fleeting, but the style element is strong with flows imo.

That's why I gotta appreciate what he is doing.

Its a testament to the socially expressive innovation of the Black man & woman

I just clicked play on one of the music videos ya'll linked in here and in the beginning he walked in on a dude getting head from a girl, and the girl turned around and her face briefly transformed into young thug's face.

We're witnessing the first openly gay rapper.

He better than MF Doom?
MF Doom is a legend, so nah. Let see where Thug is in 5 years. But the one thing they have in common is that you can fall into a zone and go for hours listening to their music only. Actually they are both clever and wacky, so that's two things. But other than that, apples & oranges.
