Shaping up to be my favorite project of his next to Barter 6 and SS3
LMAOOOOOOOOO TERRIBLE OPINION
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.
And I think this is a good bridge between both although not every song is good
can’t believe i used to see dumbasses force wayne comparisons with this dude thug lmao
the new album sounds like a posthumous release, PUNK was dogshit too
one of the most overrated and most protected rap artists to emerge in the 10’s
Keep yourself safe buddy
Real.
This why I hate the new fans they fw this just to say they fw this.
If you been listening to thug for a while, you see the music changed and the sound is more mainstream.
Compared to like slime language 1/2/3 , barter 6, 1017 thug, s*** even beautiful thugger girls the new s*** been mid
I’m Up is a good one too
Still haven’t listened to BIB, but I’m going to do my best to appreciate it for what it is rather than hoping for the B6/Slime Season era Thug sound when it’s been almost a decade.
That said:
So Much Fun was a very solid album on its own merits and it’s aged very well
Punk was alright, but I wouldn’t call its worst moments a particularly notable deviation from his sound imo
Slime Language 2 is objectively not a Thug album and if we’re considering it one, we also have to talk about Slime & B which was ass
So Much Fun is miles ahead of the abomination that we got today
SMF has sparks of ultimate creativity here and there (Jump out the window, ecstasy to name a few)
Mid is mid is literally a Gunna album
Sounds nothing like a gunna album
Hate for the new album is so bizarre
It’s not hate I’m indifferent to it it just does nothing for me
Like it sounds like music any ATL rapper could make….I actually think that’s a superb way to describe it
Been downhill since FUTURE/HNDRXX tbh
Hot take post-prime Future (since HNDRXX) has been worse than post-prime Thug, even though PLUTO X BABY PLUTO was solid
Slime language 2 isnt a thug album…it’s a label project
And compared to the other label releases in recent memory it’s probably one of the best (take it to trial, ski, came and saw, solid, proud of you etc all get good reactions when played)
Punk is a 5.5/10 (personally like it but im an ultra fan and thug’s highs are enough for me)
Smf is a 9/10
BiB is a 7/10
How is this an indictment lol
Leak culture is extremely toxic for two reasons:
1. Fans aren’t even supposed to be hearing those songs nor knowing they even exist. Judging an artist’s discography based off of songs they decided to not officially release is insanity.
2. There have been plenty of instances where there’s a grail snippet or leak that a fanbase goes crazy over, then the song officially releases and they all say the leak was better (even though most of the time it’s the exact same song)
No idea what you're talking about.
Most of the leaks ppl are talking about itt are available in full. And they're his best work.
How is it "insanity" to hear a song and think it's better than the artist's current output. Like who cares if he meant to put it out it's right there we can all listen to it lol
Ya I'm with you. Yes, piccacho was a meme and you can argue 2 cups stuffed
But he blew up with fell, then Danny glover and stoner. None of those are meme songs and were 99% of people's intro to him
Piccacho never even blew up anyways, or ew and those are the only 2 meme songs I really know from him
Piccacho is not a meme song 😡
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?
