    I mean he’s going through a little slump but it’s not a huge deal. Most of our favorite artists have went through this

    Point is those leaks inevitably set a standard to which the artist is held.

    Why would I want to listen to anything Thug related that doesn't uphold this level of artistry?

    Wow this is next level

    Because Thug didn’t intend for anyone to hear this.

    If this was on an older project and you’re upset that he isn’t meeting this level of quality on his newer projects, that’s fair. But judging an artist based off of leaked material is extremely toxic and ridiculous

    Thug doesn't intend for people to realize he's a great artist. Got it.

    his quality has dipped sadly

    No, Thug didn’t intend for anyone to hear anything he didn’t officially release. Point blank period, you can twist it however you want. That goes for any artist

    I think there’s a split in his fanbase.

    The people that appreciated his older, more ambitious and “experimental” sound

    And those who hopped on around SMF due to the more accessible sound and him still bringing his own flair to that sound.

    I've been listening since the day he signed to 1017 and I rank smf extremely high, especially the experimental s*** everyone pretends isn't on it

    Like the new one a ton too. Punk and sl2 not very much

    You hyena

    i would rather have this honest conversation about future. at least thug sounds the most motivated he’s been in years on business is business

    Thug was never good at putting albums together.

    His genius lies in his unreleased and mixtape songs. He just like Wayne in that regard.

    This is cap let’s not rewrite history.

    B6, BTG, Jeffrey, SS3 are all very well but together albums

    Not crazy about the album but jonesboro

    This new album is so so much better than the 3 before. Metro should exec all of his album from now on.

    I need to listen a lot more to decide if it's better than smf but I really doubt I'll rank smf below it

    Surely that's the reason and not some bullshit label paperwork and impertinent strategizing

    Aside from Business is Business (mid, but can’t blame him for that)

    I only see two solo albums here and one of them is incredible

  • Jun 23, 2023

    I WOULD love to blame the fact that it’s cus thug is in jail so he has limited involvement but I can’t deny his past few projects been spotty

    Everyone knows Thug recorded hundred upon hundreds songs per year. There was no way all of those songs would ever be officially released in finished capacity. Somebody’s favorite leak would always remain in his vault

    I never liked thugs albums but this is the first time I could sit through a whole album

    His team can't pick songs for s***. That was my point.

    Idk about ever but it's basically flawless to me. Great mix of accessible and experimental. Never got how someone can hear circle of bosses or just how it is and say it's not experimental at all

    Yeah wasn’t a fan of punk but I think people overrate how big of a shift he made in his music.

    That is entirely your opinion, but you were never even supposed to hear those leaks at all
