Play "Barter 6" until you figure out how to pronounce "Hy!£UN35"

Don’t make Deen push that button Oh hi! You really thought I wasn’t going to write about Juicy J’s new single? I’m offended but I’ll let it slide because playas fuck up too. Between the incessant promo on Twitter and the line-up on ‘Low’, it’s safe to assume that Juicy J and his label are […]

“My jewelry gold like the tokens at Chuck E. Cheese.” Quoth semi-professional gemologist, Jeffrey Williams. Thug raps like he’s only been eating weed brownies, Strawberry syrup and soda and molly for the last six months. His insides probably look like rotting pumpkin, but his raps are box cutter sharp. Wayne is the most obvious analogue, […]

Jimmy Ness is like the Clevaland Cavaliers – even when he loses, he wins. Septum piercing and distinctive squawk intact, Young Thug assists T.I on a track that may end up on the latter’s ninth album Paperwork. While “About The Money” is technically T.I’s song, he allows the 21 year old’s lean-addled antics to dominate. […]

Kyle Ellison and Joe Hooker have never been seen in the same room together Rap bloggers may not be able to write blog posts as fast as Young Thug is currently writing rap songs, but fellow Black Portlandian Bloody Jay hasn’t yet got the credit he deserves.

There is a rapper named Young Thug, who is 21 years old and not wearing Forever 21, but is still mistaken for a cross-dresser by malignant bloggers. Maybe […]

Photo Via Fader Young Thug has become the latest this week’s sign of the apocalypse from those who insist on substance over style. I understand where they’re coming from, but don’t agree. No one needed Biz Markie and Big Daddy Kane to do the same thing and most of Big Daddy Kane’s raps were about […]

In an alternate universe, some wry television producer will come to his senses and develop a sitcom with Young Thug and Future playing psychiatrists in need of their own psychiatrists. The basic premise is that in every episode, one or both have some sort of manic freakout which will play out musically via bell-ringing trap […]

Harold Stallworth would rather be rich than famous. As much as I enjoyed contributing to several 2013 year-end lists, blurb-season admittedly took a massive toll on my desire to write about music. But after a two-week hiatus, I’m ready to make up for lost time. Here’s a few notable rap songs I neglected to share […]
