LOL Plies was right Thug aint on his level, 22k? FUcking Hamburger Helper mixt@pe got more streams in 1 day then Thug got all week.
They’re both essentially the same rapper.
Young Thug about to get dropped cause he is TRASH
How can you honestly say that Young thug is the best rapper? I don’t know about you, but I don’t consider a guy who spits gibberish and nonsense through the mic to be a good rapper. I can barely understand what he says. His lyrics are simple, repetitive, bland, futile, and have no substance. He doesn’t make any meaningful lyrics. He only talks about getting bitches, hoes, pussy, and money. On the off chance that he might start to talk about something different or it appears he might say something with relevance or that touches the heart, he will just go back to once again stating that he got his dick sucked and that he bought some new cars. With all this being said, do you still think he is the best rapper? The only reason why people like young thug is because of his beats (which happen to be very repetitive and boring after a while). Young thug will never be remembered or regarded as one of the greatest to touch the mic. He is among the worst when it comes to representing the genre and it’s potential. He does not have the lyrical talent nor the substance to be important.
Congrats to Young Thug. you are da best rapper alive right now. I hope we meet one day. your biggest fan, so icy boi! lit
