Huh, I figured his twitter account would have mentioned it somewhere. Regardless, ackbar is correct

Lol. It's possible that all that talk is just some Blatlanta slang like cats in DC saying "lovah" back in the day. Either way, I'm cool.

Who gives a fuck if he's gay? Well, aside from Lord Jamar...

His 1017 Thug mixtape made Pitchfork's Honorable Mention list. Noz is crazy for comparing YT to Ghostface and De La Soul, tho:

After years of kicking around the perpetually regenerating Atlanta youth rap community—Rich Kidz, Travis Porter, etc.—and fusing their aesthetic with a sort of Lil Wayne-light sensibility, Young Thug had a breakout and break-everything year. 1017 Thug, his first (and last?) effort under Gucci Mane's Brick Squad, firmly establishes Thug as one of rap's most thrilling innovators. He rhymes in tiny explosions, shifting cadences as if the room was running out of air. In today's conservative rap landscape, this reads as eccentricity; back in the day, it would have just been called “style.” And while there are definitely traces of pure, unhinged Ol' Dirty Bastard-type madness in his work, he's also carefully controlled. He changes language to accommodate his ideas, rather than adapting his ideas to fit the laws of language, moving daisy-chained word associations that hover on the outer perimeters of logic and traditional syntax: "I'm a Seahawk in a flying coupe/ I'll Seattle you I'll paddle you/ Like a biker seat I'll saddle you/ Like an earthquake shake salad you." In his best moments, Thug is writing in a sphere closer to Ghostface or De La Soul than the modern-day trap stars he'll inevitably lumped in with. At a time when the biggest rap stars are selling reserved eloquence and the cult of lyricism is tipping the genre towards literalism, Young Thug is exactly the rapper the world needs—one whose performance hits you in the throat immediately but whose wordplay demands close attention. —Andrew Nosnitsky

i don't think he's comparing them in the way you think he's comparing them

[glasshandralphie]

Help me understand...I don't see that any comparison can be made.

[drizzle]

He's saying YT is more apt to rap a bunch of odd non sequiturs and free-associated stream of consciousness ramblings than writing/rapping in the traditional linear style many others default to. Specifically: "He changes language to accommodate his ideas, rather than adapting his ideas to fit the laws of language, moving daisy-chained word associations that hover on the outer perimeters of logic and traditional syntax"

And that's where his writing/rapping style is closer to somebody like Ghost than to the current wave of trap dudes.

He's not saying YT is the modern version of Ghost/De La, nor is he making a comparative value judgement between them. He's only pointing to some stylistic similarities.

Clearly I need to listen to more of His Majesty. I'm not seeing that right now.

[drizzle]

the bars Noz sites are a pretty good example of what he's referring to. granted, he might be exaggerating the extent to which YT does this to make his point stronger. but there are def pockets of great wtf randomness in his music, in both rapping style and lyrics themselves, that help set him apart from other more generic trap offerings.

[Employee]

LOL.

My God. Noz, the world's greatest and most influential blogger as well as American Rap Journalist, trying to find a correlation between MaleAssMaster's preeminent wet dream and several of the G.O.A.T.'s might well be the death knell for any music journalism.

LOL x2 @ Drizzle marauding the message board as his Idea Fluffer.

Fuck out of here.

It's only just dawned on me that Young Thug is the same kid who was the guest rapper on the first Rich Kidz song I ever heard/liked:

Rich Kidz w/ Young Thug - 100 Dollar Autograph

[Employee]

His lyrics remind me so much of early Posdnuos.

Excellent track.
