young thug... Barter 6 out.

[a blinkin]

You say the dumbest **** out of everyone on the entire music forum.

 

[jr paperstacks]

Wearing women's clothing isn't gay though. That's the thing. The only thing that's gay is being attracted to/having sexual relations with other men. Like...the entire gay community decided that a rainbow was going to be there thing, now rainbows are gay. Naw. This wearing women's clothing thing is weird, sure. But to call clothing gay is pretty weird too. Call it feminine, because it is. But to be gay isn't to be feminine. And Young Thug doesn't exhibit feminine behavior...much.

To say he's leveraging his masculinity is to say that masculinity has to be neatly packaged in a way you've come to understand it. What he is doing is actually destroying that...or attempting to. He's saying, he'll shoot you and he's wearing a dress. He's tough and his jeans come in a single number size. The juxtaposition of his music and aesthetic. The fact that nobody has really ran up on him to test it out says a little something to me.

No doubt it's weird. And even though I just explained it, I think it's less contrived than people think. I really just kinda think that's him. He does "troll," too. ie. the hooters shirt, but the majority of the time, he really isn't wearing clothes that are even flagrantly for women. That's the way he wants to dress, sometimes. Because really, they are just clothes.

I just think he's a weird guy. I mean, the interviewer said dude doesn't even like eating and he gets vitamins IVed to him. Just...weird.

Music is dope though.

Speaking on street **** on the Internet is corny but _'s that was running around the 3 back then know...Summerhill, Jonesboro South, etc

This _ honestly has nothing to prove as far as being out there with the ****

 

[Maximus Meridius]

A lot of excuses being made. Like I said if it walks like a duck....


This **** ain't as complex as y'all tryna make it. Sometimes the easy answer is the answer. Son is ayo, he might shoot you, he makes some bangers. The end.

But young thug actually shows attraction to other males, he often calls them sexy and even his baby, it's way beyond wearing women clothing. Now whether he's joking or not is a different story

People say they don't care about the image or persona of the artist...and they only here for the music but that's not true.

I guarantee you if Childish Gambino started making the hardest trap **** of all time, ya'll wouldn't be able to take it seriously because the image don't match the music.

If the **** was tough why not? As long as it didn't come off corny and forced I wouldn't care. Slim Jesus for example, that **** seem so forced and lame u can't rock with son, he don't even believe himself. At the end of the day, this ***** wearing dresses and **** and ain't been checked yet, then u hear ****** in the A co sign the **** he rap about.

You're proving my point that image and persona DOES play a role in the music tho. 

Slim Jesus comes off corny and forced to you because YOU CAN SEE  him being corny and forcing the image that he's rapping about. So you can't say "if the **** was tough, why not". If his music was incredible...then you wouldn't care about him being corny or forcing anything because all you'd care about is the music

This ain't even really about Young Thug...im speaking in general because I see people here often say they don't care about anything but the music. I just find that to be contradictory. We just had the discussion in another thread about artists that shuffled through multiple gimmicks until they found one that worked (i.e - Rick Ross). So if we're acknowledging that, then OF COURSE ppl care about image.

Some of yall sound exactly how thug looks.

























Sie note- if he likes dudes, so be it, i dont mind, but you aint gotta act gangsta and then put it in your music.

I listen to freddie mercury, dude was a homo foreal, i doubt he was gayer then thug, but he wasnt talmbout half the gay stuff thug does.

Lmao thug earned his stripes frfr he a real blood, sexuality never had anything to do with puttin in dat work

 

[$tacy]

U got a point but even then to me a plays a small portion. Idc if u didn't do all that **** in your songs but u better at least had grew up in an environment where that stuff was going on. U can't talk the super dope boy **** and u from Wallah wallah Washington with both parents are are college graduates. But even then the music gotta be dope. Maino and uncle murda probably got all the stripes in the world but the music sucks. It goes hand in hand.

 

[ROYGBiV]

Lol

I'm not saying I'm gay but sometimes my vision blurry so I say **** it....

Thug is a terrible rapper but he knows how to work with the beats he gets, that's why im a fan but maino and uncle murda are trash. Murda did kill that hot97 freestyle though. As long as bro aint blatantly saying zesty stuff on his songs he'll get s couple spins in the whip

 

[Belgium]

Soooooooo you wana hear him chokin on a weiner on the mic. Gotcha.

Where did I say that? I said I wouldn't care if he comes out of the closet or even saying he loves to suck d.

None of that is in his music so I couldn't care less about anything he's doing outside of his music.

If he wants to wear dresses so be it. I'm enjoying the new project and him wearing a dress isn't gonna change how much I enjoy the music.

 

[vidiviciun]

This is my favorite Track so far... Joint be Rydin! 

 

[bossdonvah]

Why are ya even responding to that dude .... He's the same dude who was defending a rapist ..don't waste your time

 

[alexody]

I always wonder what NTers get out of saying the they don't like a artist but constantly post in the artist thread ..like I get stating your opinion but over and over again ? Especially when dudes aren't responding to your comments ..some of ya that desperate for attention ?

Its called trolls bruh they still exist, one of em even complained about havin nobody to argue wit

I do believe ppl standardize from what they expect from ppl. Eminem makes psycho crazy rape rap, his Jordans drop tomorrow. Ross accidentally makes a date rape line, Reebok drops him.

Gambino can't rly rap that street cuz it does sound forced and fam would def be switching up. Now if he starts makin Drake type stuff ya.

Nobody checking Thug cuz everybody from that area kno bout it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.


To all those who think he's just like any other ***** that makes trap music y'all not really listening.

Musically, his ear for melody and ability to flow is beyond anybody else sans Future easily.

He goes farther experimentally than any other artists making trap music too.


Maybe you don't like his persona or whatever but you can't deny he's a gifted artist.

I wasn't going to bother re-engaging any of this recent discussion because like I said before, minds have already been made up and narratives have already been set in stone; but this post is pretty much exactly how I feel so I made an exception.

Definitely repped when I re-up.

For those that say his label put him up to it to "troll", and again; actually care about facts, this is an extension of that VFiles link I posted before.

Can ya'll all just agree Thug is weird?

this is like the last post I would expect from someone with the username JR Paperstacks. 

Post was on point though.

Too much thinking going on just for a rapper that wears dresses and calls other men sexy

Same! 

 Took me back to 1994 when I was in Kindergarten watching the Lion King. Rafiki in this ***! 

 

[northoaklandfc]

I just got through it for the first time. I imagine this thread been nothing but a bunch of grown men arguing about the clothes on another man's back foe the past 24 hours.


My ***** byke though!

THIS how a Thugger tape supposed to ride, every track dope as ****, impossible to pick a single stand out. My ***** back in form putting out that SS2, SS1, RG Part 1 type overall consistency.

 

[MajinZuub]

Rap fans care about the dumbest **** I swear.

Can't wait to peep the new tape it's about time.
