Carlito Brigante” like relationship with Lil’ Wayne which looked to be a good musical pairing before the mixtape’s naming fiasco and Wayne’s Cash Money lawsuit showed us that it was anything but. Still, Thugger remains the star with a hook that finds himself questioning what the listener would do if they were in the same strange predicament that he was.īarter’s buzz was marked by Thugger’s “ Benny Blanco vs. Coincidently, production duties are handled by a new producer named Wheezy, and it features one of the most forthright Birdman verses we’ve ever heard. The album’s intro “ Constantly Hating” is Young Thug taking something that sounds like a children’s cartoon and thugging it out. Young Thug REAL Album To Release In Augustīarter 6 is bit of an extension of that said character. He does his own thing, and everything he does is far from the norm. He’ll wear a dress, but keep a fully loaded weapon tucked underneath and the same men that he calls his “baes” and “lovers” are goons that are about that same action as him. He bigs up the ones that came before him, yet engages in full fledged beefs with them. He’s fiercely independent, yet reliant at the same time. He’s everything hip hop is and isn’t all in one. Shamrocks: 3.Young Thug is something else. ![]() If you like: Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Gunna As a Thug fan, it is great to hear his tracks on the radio, with “So Much Fun” being a watershed moment of mainstream success for Young Thug.įavorite Tracks: “Jump Out the Window,” “Surf,” “Mannequin Challenge,” “Hot” Thugger is clearly having fun, making music that is both comfortable and fun, all while having more mass-appeal than ever (see “The London,” which is one of Thug’s first big hits as a lead artist). Produced by long-time Young Thug collaborator Supah Mario, “Jump Out the Window” sees Thug at his most aggressive, with a flow that mirrors Mario’s driving bass and hi-hats. One of the standout tracks on this album is “Jump Out the Window,” a Thugger solo cut that is reminiscent of work that appeared on earlier mixtapes. The Wheezy produced “Hot” flaunts the lives of excess that both of the rappers live, indicative of the continued commercial success of Thugger and the newfound success of Gunna. Gunna makes a second appearance on the track “Hot”, one of the more popular songs off of the album. In typical Thugger fashion, the track is filled with adlibs like “whoa,” “wave,” and “totally, dude,” reinforcing the idea that Thug wanted this album to be fun and laid back. On “Surf,” Thug and Gunna float over an airy, Pierre Bourne trap beat that mirrors the sound that Gunna established on his solo work. This cast of producers give the songs that do incorporate elements of Thug’s previous work a more accessible, wide-reaching sound. The album features production from some of hip-hop’s most in-demand producers like Pi’erre Bourne, Southside and DJ Durel. Thug and hip-hop fans will enjoy this album, albeit less than some of Thug’s earlier mixtapes.Īlthough the album does less in terms of deviating from Thug’s previous work, the album does have one thing going for it “So Much Fun” is really so much fun. ![]() “Cartier Gucci Scarf” feels like a carbon copy of “Harambe” from Thug’s “Jeffery” mixtape, and “What’s the Move” feels like a track that didn’t make the cut on “Beautiful Thugger Girls.” That’s not to say that these tracks are bad by any means. In an interview with GQ, Thugger explained that he targeted the masses and “really focused on putting out what people like” on “So Much Fun.” Thug fans and casual trap listeners will find tracks that are appealing, although both groups may ultimately be left yearning for more following an album listen through. The result is an album which, while enjoyable, is a regression to the mainstream in terms of production and atmosphere. “So Much Fun” has tracks that feel like watered down versions of songs that appeared on Thug’s more experimental mixtapes. “So Much Fun” is a departure from Young Thug’s previous work in the sense that it avoids taking large risks during its hour long run-time. From influencing Carti and Trippie with the dark, pulsating “Barter 6” mixtape, to paving the way for Lil Nas X with the country twang and acoustic guitar-filled “Beautiful Thugger Girls,” Young Thug has remained a trend setter of the 2010s, Soundcloud-rap landscape. Young Thug has had years to develop and tweak his sound, avoiding the music industry confines that come with putting out an official album. ![]() Considering Thugger has been releasing (quality) mixtapes since the early 2010s, influencing the likes of Playboi Carti, Trippie Redd and Lil Uzi Vert, “So Much Fun” shouldn’t feel like a debut album. “So Much Fun” is billed as Young Thug’s debut album.
