On what planet, in what solar system, is Young Thug ANYTHING like Ghostface or De La Soul? LOLOLOLOLOLOL.glasshandralphie wrote:Who gives a fuck if he's gay? Well, aside from Lord Jamar...
Excerpted from the Young Thug Is Majestic thread:
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

Re: Was Serious Rap Journalism raped and murdered in 2013?
here's a thought
you're a writer, and a good one at that, who is currently writing for a well trafficked musical publication. you could write a rebuttal to what noz wrote. you could write your own take on thug, who's obviously not to your taste. you can make a thread about music you like.
instead you made a thread with a 'retard alert' gif.
seems like a waste of your time and talents, if you really care about expressing your opinion at least
but do you.

You're a writer, and a marginal one at that, who is currently at the helm of a well-trafficked musical publication. You could write a reinforcing piece to Noz's bullshit. You could write your take on how your mind mimics his, who else is cool in this regard etc. You can make a thread about music you like that correlates. Being that I only discovered his writing on Young Thug because there was a trail of your saliva leading me to it in the thread.
Instead, you made the conscious decision to hop on my dick and ride it because that is all you're good at. The extent of your contribution to this conversation is being Noz's Idea Fluffer.
Seems like a waste of your high-mindedness and talents.
But do you (in the butt).

Re: Was Serious Rap Journalism raped and murdered in 2013?
I can't picture Huckabee raping and murdering anyone. I figured your rape/murder fantasies were of a much worse variety of bitchy, faggy, right wing asshole, like Rich Lowry. Point being you should seek help for your obvious fantasy of being raped and murdered, brother. You seem far less mentally healthy than the last time I was on this board.Employee wrote:Mike Huckabee's Jowls & Balls.

I would never take under advisement the words of an anonymous psychopath who both monitors my predominance and clings perilously to and dangles perpetually from my Short & Curlies.

Yeah emp, most of your hatred on this board is self-exposing shit, dude. You're actually your own best psychiatrist if you get on up off that bullshit. Stop fighting that feeling.Employee wrote:I would never take under advisement the words of an anonymous psychopath who both monitors my predominance and clings perilously to and dangles perpetually from my Short & Curlies.
