Jun 15, 2021·2 repliesWell yea. He was 22 then he’s 30 now. He’s gonna sound a bit different vocally after all the smoking and recording 5 thousand songs lol. But it seems like u haven’t kept up with the leaks which makes this convo pointless. Release thug/leak thug 2 diff artist.

swag rap
Jun 16, 2021Klutch_Because of a proper rollout (interviews, big singles, star studded features & big feature placements)
I doubt it had much to do with his style. I could be wrong tho
No. You’re exactly right. People woulda still craved thug sound and had the exact same If not more sales back
Then if he properly marketed himself and did promos- Jun 16, 2021·1 reply
Idk why he regressed it but you noticed a slight more polished sound around Jeffery even though he still was experimenting with his voice. BTG is wen that polished vocals stuck though. He’s low numbers was never because of his eccentric melodies and crazy style of rapping, it was because of his leaks, terrible promo, flooding the market, and never doing a proper rollout for anything. His peers like future and Travis are bigger than him because they all did promo well and marketed themselves properly with each rollout

DiamondsFloodedHe’s had his moments but he’s been average ever since
It’s just like future
I get this isn't the popular opinion but I think they both peaked late 2018/early 2019.

He also had a problem with releases where he would have 3-4 great songs and the rest were filler/mid. His only consistent releases back then were his free releases, SS1 and 2. So Much Fun was his first commercial release that was good all the way through the tracklist. Cole and Travis also threw him one to get the cycle going.
Jun 16, 2021·2 repliesHi-CSad but true :\
Hope he drops some experimental s*** though once he is done chasing a bag
Why should he be “experimental”? Y’all need to quit judging rap music by indie critic bait standards.

100% agree tbh. I remember saying it to my friends the day after SMF dropped that the tape was good all the way front to back. Hadn’t said that about a thug project since I’m Up
Jun 16, 2021!https://youtu.be/Z7KP3zbsMQcREACTIVERecorded in 2020 old thug would never get in this type of bag. He still makes next level songs daily we just have to wait for them to leak cause he won’t release them since they won’t benefit his pockets.

Lmao nice putting words into my mouth and assuming that’s what I meant.
Something can be experimental without being critic bait

New s*** kinda watered down, not terrible tho
Jun 16, 2021·1 replyThis thread gets made all the time lol but I def see where y’all coming from, both sides
I still like a lot of his new s*** but nothing gonna hit the same as 1017 Thug, Tha Tour, Barter 6, etc. for me tbh
- Jun 16, 2021
Streams are easy
Jun 16, 2021Saint AquinasHe was inconsistent from b6-jeffrey. Some of them tapes didnt always hit. He flooded the market and it worked for getting a core fanbase (i guess) but it really didnt work towards growth
like what? From what I remember his core fanbase and ther masses loved every tape from post barter 6. ss2 was at one point the most downloaded mixtape.
