In many years, when we've built domed, acclimatized cities to live on an overheated planet and we all have social media microchips directly installed in our brains, we'll look back through the archives of the Stream (everything is proper nouns in the future) and mouth to ourselves, in neural-networked unison, "holy fuck, we really didn't deserve Young Thug at all."In the present, we have ample opportunity to heap praise upon young Jeffery as he cosplays as fighting game characters that don't exist, uncovers new realms of vocalization, and uses the English language like Joan Miró used paint. "Harry Potter with a broom / drinkin' on lean, eatin' shrooms" is better than anything Bukowski wrote and twice as funny. Of course, his arrangement acumen matches these other achievements, as this Instagram video reveals.
Listen as Thug's soulful melody line (imagine Hot Boys-esque synths or Just Blaze horns subbing in) perfectly interlocks with his buddy's mighty snores. Truly, Thugger's music draws from the world and life and society, much as it also reflects all three. If this is an indication of what's to come on Easy Breezy Beautiful Thugger Girl, then it's truly a blessed world we live in. Michael Jackson used to assemble entire multi-track demos with just his voice. We're not gonna say anything more, but… the evidence is before you that Young Thug is a generational talent.Phil has seen the light since the Rich Gang material. He's on Twitter.
