Hype, speculation, and scandal have always surrounded the 24-year-old virtuoso known as Young Thug and now that 300 Entertainment CEO Lyor Cohen seems to be fully behind the YSL brand, things have, surprisingly, only gotten weirder. The stoner’s much-ballyhooed latest work, Slime Season 3, has had one of the oddest rollouts this side of The Life of Pablo. The typically subdued rapper enjoyed his first ever radio run, premiered a song at Madison Square Garden during Yeezy Season 3, pump-faked with the initial release date, before announcing the new release date with a mock funeral procession during this year’s SXSW. Even on the day of the release, the antics were in full force with various people (from Zane Lowe to Kanye West) premiering tracks all throughout the day. But for both him and his fans, it’s still ultimately about the music so, in the words of the man of the year, “fuck all that, let’s get to it.”
This year’s I’m Up wore its heart on its sleeve, while Slime Season 3 hides the same tenderness under a louder, more defiant sound. Where the former might have Thug himself crooning about his best friend’s false conviction, Slime Season 3 simply places that very friend, Peewee Roscoe, as a feature on the YSL showcase “Slime Shit” so he can passively mutter “fuck the judge.” While many might be drawn to the tape’s relentless opening run, the best three-song run on the project is courtesy of the London on da Track powerhouse (“Digits,” “Worth It,” “Tattoos”), with the soulful twinkle of “Tattoos” being one of the most understated moments on the mixtape. However, not to be outdone by their colleague, Mike Will Made It and Allen Ritter provide Slime Season 3 with the unhinged bounce of “With Them” and “Drippin,” respectively.
Although he already has a handful of cult classics, Slime Season 3 is built to be his most accessible release to date. It’s the swan song before he finally makes the conversion to being an album artist. Fear that streamlining Young Thug’s music, reeling in his creative mania, would hinder his allure are valid. This project may lack the range and subtlety of last year’s Barter 6, but that’s not to say it’s one-note. “Memo” and “Worth it” anchor the lovesick persona of Thug at either ends of the album, while the soaring anthem, “Digits,” is structured to be the backbone for the entire release. The alien raps sent to help us progress as a species are also still present (which is why we probably didn’t all die in 2012). He still phrases his bars like he’s Yoda while pulling off complex lyrical acrobatics with reckless abandon (just try rapping along with opener “With Them”). However previous releases have been oozing with unpredictability, Slime Season 3 sacrifices what makes Thug so intriguing for something much more accessible. Young Thug’s extensive catalog is spotted with dynamic moments and this project seems to forgo such progressiveness. The range is still there, but sectioned into neatly packaged offerings. If you want the hopeless romantic, check out “Worth It,” while “With Them” is there to provide the witty one-liners.
Possessing a more tangible sound, Young Thug is finally aiming to cement himself at the forefront of mainstream rap. On a macro level, the unpredictability of his 2015 output may be missing, but up close and personal you can still witness the rapper cleansing his soul through his music. “You don’t know a ting ‘bout me, okay,” he declares on the standout “Drippin’,” in a Jamaican accent he pulls out of the Bermuda Triangle. And after countless hours of music, this still somehow feels true.
This is an alumb worth listening to digits and slime shit is a straight banger.
Garbage
Trash

respect your elders. they have seen the trash artists come and go. they know what trash is when they see it.
I used to hate Young Thug. I used to think to myself “What a homo. All Young Gay does is smoke penises and wear dresses. I’m going to stick to real rap like J. Cole and Tech N9ne.” However, after reading this, I decided to check this project out. WOW! It changed my life! Young Thug is truly the greatest artist of our generation. Perfect rating, too.
Tell me how it changed your life bro?
-damn young butt plug’s team, back at it again with the fake reviews

Not really a Thug Fan but the hype made me pay attention and tune in, overall i was impressed, ive never heard a particular sound like that in music. And the way he rides the beat is crazy.Its as if he uses his voice as an instrument somewhat. Great New music
Gave the Album negative 0/5
“the way he rides the butt plug is crazy. it’s as if he uses his butt plug as an instrument somewhat”
Your opinion dude chill . Just how I feel . I like his style of music, his music isnt for everyone and u are one of them so just not listen to him
Y’all fools will praise an uncle Tom like Kendrick and then trash on Young Thug who literally the second coming of Jesus?
Don’t even compare this trash clown to Kendrick he earned his spot
Kendrick? An uncle tom? Kendrick empowers the people and most of his efforts empower black people so how is that an uncle tom? You think because he isn’t flashing guns and wearing 3 rolex’s on one arm that makes him a uncle tom? You got it fucked up bro and second coming of jesus really? cmon son you are playin..
“Memo” is so goddamn hype. love that aggressive autotune.
WHat is aggressive autotune lol
Future >>>> thug
TRASH
stoop overrating thugger… this was a 5/10 at best.
Is it a light 5 or a strong 5?
its cool and all but this doesn’t deserve such a high rating… the execution of thug music is so bad lol
just heard it, so bad compared to B6…thugger fell off
the writing though…1/5
it went to the trash bin.
trash
5/5
Now that he dropped his last “project” aka my drink coaster it’s time to cut him loose. the numbers aren’t adding up and nobody likes the music. This is what happens when you bite the hand that fed your style, nobody respects you or even gives your music a chance. all cuz you a real bn

Well said.
We’re gunning for that #1 most discussed spot. Thugger > Kendrick ^_^
Hilarious but, out of curiosity, why not use that energy to big up something you may like? Torae released an album earlier in the year. We just premiered a Lyric Jones record. Grand Puba is back. I’m asking you and anyone who feels like you as well. You’re here—on a Young Thug thread—essentially making his name get bigger thanks to stirring the pot for his existing fans when that type of energy can be diverted to help a “real MC” or whatever they’re being called these days get to that next level of acclaim. I mean the Joell Ortiz review has two comments and this one has damn near 50. I’m just saying…
