I guess we'll have to wait and see. SMF was definitely his least inventive project but I still thought it was great. Thug can sound like Thug without doing something crazy every time. SL1 didn't have much in the way of inventiveness from him, but he still dropped great/zanier music after that. I see these YSL projects as moments where he takes a backseat. I don't think he's just going to phone it in from now on.
Edit: but I do think you're right in that people do prefer a tamer version of him. Part of the reason I think lil baby blew up like he did
Idk. I felt like SL1 had a lot of inventiveness. Thug n Gunna donāt got any other collabs like Chains Choking Me. Dirty Shoes had that weird ass, cool ass bridge. STS had this smooth approach we hadnāt heard from him in years.
Thatās not to mention how crazy Tsunami, Gain Clout, Audemar, etc were.
Thatās a lame ass take...
āHeh heh, this loser wants artā
Tf?
I mean, yes, that makes you a loser to some extent . Not wanting art, but saying it in that fake way where you celebrate the success in the same breath. I've never agreed with this reasoning in the context of Young Thug's projects or sound. Or others people say the same thing for like the weeknd, etc
This album has really great Young Thug songs. Be specific, was thugs verse on My City phoned in? Real? Diamonds dancing?
I get it we're all big fans and love when he stretches himself but this stuff isn't objective, and performing the whole " : / ugh happy for him but disappointed expected more" to signal that you like the "real" stuff is what's really a lame take, imo

Bro if you think this is on tier with his best work, idk what to tell you. Iām not sayin this mf gotta reinvent the wheel, but 90% of what he doin on here phoned in af. There was a time where he could hop on any beat, do damn near anything, and it would be interesting at the very least. Now heās locked into a formula for his releases that portray a shell of what makes him a legend. That includes them verses u talkin about.
When an artist has been only gettin better and better over the span of their career... uhh why wouldnāt we expect more?

Yeah I think I just disagree with you about these specific songs then

I agree with you, it's not that Thug isn't doing a great job. But this project and SMF do feel like a decline in quality compared to all the eras from RGTTP1 -> OTR

Facts. And itās not like heās not recordin amazing music. But he definitely not droppin it.
Ski is blowing up on tik tok
SMF was hard idk what yāall talking bout that was the best album of 2019 š for him to take the jump in popularity he had to drop that album Punk gonna be more like BTG

Tbh this feels like So Much Fun 2 not slime language 2
First half of the album..
Clearly used the same formula, as SL2 is bangers on bangers
Cult Thug fans will need to look in the mirror as a day of reckoning is here...
Heās innovated a sound and style that created so many opportunities for others but it delayed his mainstream success....
Now heās getting mainstream success using a watered down version of his style.... itās highly likely we donāt get PUNK...
Will/would you be content with the leaks?
SS3 and B6 both took years to go gold... it took SMF a few months... now itās platinum, and Slime & B will probably be gold this summer off one true single....

To answer I would not be fully content with leaks, but Thug has already put out so much great music I canāt expect him to stay creative forever I guess. Lots of my favorite rappers fell off sooner. That said I like this and SMF, is a bit watered down tho
I think compilation or label albums like this are always gonna sound less cohesive than a single artist album tbh, just how it is
Glad heās more successful now but new thug is so boring 
Hope Punk is more interesting. You can be inventive and still appeal to the mainstream

feels so good hearing rowdy back
and he went completely nuts on the track too
He busted a nut on it
