Young Thug is a Label Processed Lil B 2.0

[Pool_Shark]

If all that industry plant talk is true, Young Thug is Lil B but with melodic mainstream appeal. I like songs from both of them but I've been on the net for a while and Young Thugs "buzz" almost seems like it followed Lil Bs blueprint.

Is Young Thug going to have the impact and influence Lil B had on the rap game but from the trendy bloggers dikkriding, to the "hilarious" meme raps, to the am I gay? trolling, to "me first" rappers fighting over requesting his songs at clubs it really seems like a major label saw what Lil B birthed and groomed someone to become a rapper they could make dollars off of. If Lil B got a bull piercing what's the difference?

Sidenote: Don't care if ones better than the other, you can like both just calling a spade a spade.

Lil B influenced A LOT of these up and coming rappers though and even some of the old.

Its funny a article kinda spoke on this. Right before Young Thug really blew up like that.

Young Thug has found and developed something that not many other “weirdo rappers” or “internet cult rappers” have achieved. Something that artists such as Danny Brown,Chance The Rapper, Odd Future, and even Lil B have not fully mastered yet. The fact that YOUNG THUG MAKES INCREDIBLY CATCHY AND BORDERLINE ADDICTIVE MUSIC

I dont think labels forced it. I think its something that natural happened. His fan fare for Lil Wayne somehow warped into a favorable "internet meme" cult following. He is pretty much a auto-tune era wayne with a internet hipster appealing image.

Lil B was something else completely. He was a rare moment in hip hop.

Call rappers plants, while ignoring the fact they were rapping before you heard of them bruhs.

Also nothing is wierd or different about the nikka music, that shyt comes from nikkas that like to discuss HIM.

Another industry plant thread?

 

[Tommy Knocks]

the reason this fool blew up is cause ATL supports their up and comers. gives them a chance, I swear they get a new artist blowing like every other month. wtf.

places like LA, NY just filled with crabs.

lil b came up organically. was on some street/hyphy shyt when too short signed the pack. then he went off on his own world and re invented himself into based god. you are crazy to compare young thug to lil b

 

[Poitier]

The only similarities is that they both worship Weezy.

Thug was actually street level. Lil B and The Pack not so much.

At the time I hated on Lil B, because he was imo, the first real internet cult status rapper. This was when the gimmicks just a few years ago was coming of age.

The irony is, Im Gay made me a fan of his. It was his answer that he couldn't be anything more than said gimmick. I respected Lil B a whole lot after that.

I didnt know a damn thing about YT until a few months ago. But he used the same lane; Internet, gimmick.

And?

i never heard of young thug except on here. nikka is nobody offline.

Young Thug is a real street nikka and was really in bowen homes and the jonesbourgh south projects. he's no label plant because his then manager hired my team and i to market his first mixtape, 'I came from nothing," and we didnt really get paid like that. Im not a big fan of the new thug music but that boy really did work hard to get where he is
