Cuz ppl tuned out
Mother f***ers ignored genuine criticism for 3 years while dude was selling 16k.
I f***in wonder why ppl aint tuning in.
Thug doesnt really have any mainstream songs that could last like the box
The box is ass tho. If thug was from compton like roddy...........anways. Whaever.
Reminder too
Fetty coulda been a cash cow for 2 years easy.

When u play a yg song? Lol
you expect mainstream audiences to listen to leaks?
u got a good point if we're talking about the fact his rollouts for songs got ruined by leakers like it could have been a wayyy better vision
hytunes coulda gone way up but
he still stunted and adapted each era did something different. like the greats do.

cap
the box isn't ass but i mean... thug should have been had a #1 like that by now but theres so many factors that play into all this
Tbh, geniuses are often under-appreciated until much later.
Thug has done so many different styles, and done them well, put out soooo many good songs...
If u know u know... type s***
Like if it connected with you, you might not be able to explain it- but its some other s***.
thug got more spotify listeners than both gunna and lil baby rn
Majority of spotify users are free accounts, who dont get to specify what they listen to, and can only skip a few songs per hour.
Its great they found a profitable avenue and everything, but those numbers dont mean s***. Has more to do with royalties than genuine fan interest.
if u think lil baby is better than young thug at anything you should just stop listening to music
Thug paved the way in a lot of ways not just creatively. Best Friend and Power were a hit in a time where the whole streaming s*** was just starting to take off. There was not a singular platform like Tiktok where songs could blow up like that.
Simple answer but thats what it boils down to

he’s got more monthly listeners than Baby and Uzi who both recently just dropped 30+ songs. That’s impressive lol. And he’s ahead of them by a good margin
Another internet thing is calling other artists thug sons when you know damn well no one in the mainstream are calling lil baby or x rapper a son.
They pave the wave themselves towards that status with the consistency of their music which thug severely lacks.

I dont know how to better explain this.
Majority of spotify users DO NOT get to chose what specific songs theyre listening to.
Hes getting mad plays cuz the royalties are dirt cheap and theyre throwing him onto a bunch of playlists.
He never did a proper album rollout till 2019. 2014-2016 which was peak thug he just would spam mixtapes and had hella leaks
