I'm glad he's more consistent now and i like these projects more probably but man I kind of miss the batshit moments of 1017
This is fucking great. Glad people are talking about this on here because the thread on AP is a ghost town. I guess this forum is the reason why. Probably listened to this about 12 times now.
I think Ye just wanted to get him some more exposure by playing it at MSG because he knew a ton of people would be tuning in. He didn't produce it though. The only dull moment on this whole project is the Peewee Roscoe verse.
young thug might not actually have a release i love consistently front to back and yet i listen to him literally every day lol. barter vi comes closest i guess but even that struggles at points.
PERFECT TIMING! Give Young Thug His Grammy But none of this matters, really — the quest for a radio hit as sticky as “Stoner” or “Lifestyle”; the idea of full-length cohesion as intrinsically valuable; the impulse to rank and dissect a nonlinear, haphazard collection of songs, where aimless mindspray and straight-up genius sit next to each other. As though the highest aim of rap’s most consistent innovator should be to make catchy Billboard hits and craft capital-A Albums that get blurbs on year-end lists. No one else is rapping like Thug is rapping right now, even with the stakes so low one has to be careful not to trip on ‘em. “I just do this shit when I get bored,” he claims too believably on “Digits”; later, on tape closer “Problem,” he shouts: “Yeah I feel like Marilyn Manson, and I want a fucking Grammy!” Those thoughts don’t seem incompatible in this phase of Thug’s career. If the past 12 months of releases is what happens when he’s just killing time, why shouldn’t he have a Grammy?
