They don't make elegant, extravagant trap music like this anymore. It doesn't stream well if it's not Travis Scott.

It's a 5 minute song with a 55 spoken intro.

77 whole seconds before Thug even starts rapping. He spends 15 seconds channelling the ancestors. Brilliance before he even starts going.

Btw RHQ is his best rhyme partner. RHQ brings some emotional and lyrical depth. Thug brings the styles and flair. Maybe Thug & Lil Baby could recreate that magic. Gunna says less than Thug

This is a classic track and like top 10 of the 2010s for sure to me

if there was anyone who didn’t like thug this would prolly be what I told them to listen to....just count how many flows he unlocked on this shyt

there is a generation of copycats now BUT at the time absolutely NOBODY sounded like this. The flow was so original and so undeniable.

The beats were 10/10 as well the whole tape

Quan and thug both brought out the best in each other

tape just goes to show you what happens when two artists in their prime put it all together at once. All the potential realized

to me they have both had moments since then but nothing will recapture that magic

I used to have like 40 songs of them together too there was a bunch of leaks that came out I remember for pt 1 2 and other stuff

that intro really set you up for some fire though

"that GTV..that tequila" :mjlit:

"we never hung over" :ahh:

"p*ssy outta line p*ssy get his head buss" :birdman:

"rest in peace tamara and miss gladdys boy" :salute:

then thugga just kills it :damn:

"Drugs don’t stop, you know I can’t stop
Baby don’t press charges, she know that I’m on the block
When she pull up, she can’t go back, she gon' stop,
She ain’t know what time it was 'til I bought her first clock
Spend $1,000 on a flock, no Wok
And you know I’m comin’ back like Dem Boyz, no Shop
loading up a Glock
Take shots, I got Jays on a flava, flava watch
Billidybop, pull up shootin' buck shots (TOP NOTCH!)
And they watch me like a fukkin cable box
bytches wanna fukk me and they also on my top
Mama told me never give tops outside the shop

Pull up on yo girl, I’m lurkin’ like a cop
p*ssy nikka play, Imma beat them like I box
Hey, I'm the President, baby, blacker BARACK!
30’s on the Chevy, my nikka, plus it's a box
You should know me and sharp shooters sponsored by FOXES
Split that money up in eight ways like I’m an octopus
On the campus with lots of pounds, kicked outta COLLEGE!
All I bleed is red but nikka, but I'm not stoppin' shyt (red light)
Pull up to the set and I come and pay all my homages
Hoppin' out on im bleeding, I pour up straight out the pharmacy
p*ssy nikka scared to say it, I got 'em hummin' shyt
Lil bytch, you know I’m really thuggin' like Bones & Harmony"

Like someone else in the thread said. There is a bunch of Thuggers sons running around now it's normal to try to sound like him, but at the time his shyt was so unique....and to a point it still is cause none of his sons have the same level of quick charismatic pitch switching, energy and cadence as the gawd :ahh:
