Idk exactly how to phrase it but people who still claim to be obsessed with young thug in 2025 give the same vibe as people who still retweet asap yams for the aesthetic
they list him as an influence, but was he actively in the studio helping them craft their careers and pushing them next to him?
so you see no value in Thug putting on
Gunna
Lil Baby
Wheezy
Turbo
signing them, rapping on all their music, pushing them as the new generation to focus on, and helping them establish their sound and fashion look and influence a whole new generation and taking them mainstream
because Keef did it once at 16 but not the crew part as well? which is a conversation we have here all the time when it comes to an artists influence and impact, is their label building strength as well as it is a major factor
Nah. Especially when you consider the fact that Keef has way more known songs and his music had more impact than Thug.
And tryna sneak in Weezy and Turbo is just stat padding. Especially when niggas are just now catching up to the type of s*** Keef was rapping on in like 2013-14
Idk but all I know is he had the best verse on that weedplate baby joint
Future has like 13 straight number one albums.
I don’t even think I would even put Future next to Wayne
Thug either btw
being fair to Wayne here
future is more consistent but thug has much higher highs
I don’t even think I would even put Future next to Wayne
Wayne is a clear cut #1
Future is the closest since him tho.
In regards to that lane of rap.
Wayne created the lane. He the Jordan of that discussion.
Still there are Kobe's, Brons, Curry's, KDs etc
Also maybe it’s just my own sort of bias perception but it genuinely did feel like the talisman of modern atl had been removed when he was rico’d & it set things back somewhat, that’s with future still out here being reasonably prolific, to me that’s another demonstration of his actual legacy
A lot of rappers had YSL chains throughout the years.
But the main point is we can’t act like Thug is way ahead of Sosa. The s*** thug did in his late 20s and early 30s, Sosa did that all before he was 20
Uzi still wearing the YSL chains
Future music is aging a lot better than thugs
Slime Season 1&2 just dropped on streaming and sound better than anything else out today
Nah. Especially when you consider the fact that Keef has way more known songs and his music had more impact than Thug.
And tryna sneak in Weezy and Turbo is just stat padding. Especially when niggas are just now catching up to the type of s*** Keef was rapping on in like 2013-14
Mr. I’m a Stoner? King Slime? bruh Thug has so many hits in different eras that are very well known before we even exit his run with Rich Homie
let’s just agree to disagree cause we not gone have a straight conversation. Wheezy and Turbo aren’t stat padding, they are a part of the list of his influence as he rapped on their production greatly and it made two of his artists mainstream
Tune like Wayne???
No lol but thug is a legend
Wayne
Thug & Future
Wayne
Future
Thug
In terms of career success
Thought op was talking about Lucki at first lol
On par with the GOAT? Nah
I’ll take Thugger over future tho any day
Like I feel what you saying. It's just that Wayne and Future are on another level in regards of whatever we give thug credit for.
Number #1 hits, Number #1 albums, Grammy's, Career defining moments in the culture. (Even as recent as last year for Future), Longevity, Influence, hits spanning decades, Ushering in new rap stars, star producers etc etc.
Thug just doesn't have that. He is in that Chief Keef tier if you ask me
That’s fair. I think your opinion isn’t bad, even if I slightly disagree
You a b**** if you say no
Was gonna say some s*** but tbh I hold Thug and Fewtch over Wayne any day LMAO bruh not getting spins in my whip over those 2 artists
No
idk, i aint listen to wayne as much as people around me did growing up but a lot of stuff i heard from him i like of course
but the s*** i grew up on, id say my top 3 are thug, future, and sosa (no particular order)
Barter 6 is literally: Young Thug, The Hits ya’ll are severely underrating how massive that tape was everywhere
Heard a car bumping check the other day
Lil Wayne…………………are we being serious?????????????
This gotta be rage bait
