Young Thug is serious about releasing Tha Carter 6.
Yesterday (March 24), two leaks from the LP surfaced via Thug’s Young Stoner Life (YSL) soundcloud.
The first, “Beat It,” features Jacquees and finds Thugger rapping, “let me beat it, let me stroke it,” while Jacquees croons in the background.
“Halftime,” the second track from the LP, is an up-tempo braggadocios offering. During the record, Thug lets loose one of his signature riffs.
Both cuts were produced by London On Da Track.
Last week, Thugger previewed a remix to Lil Wayne’s “Grindin” via an Instagram video. He also let his followers know that Tha Carter 6 is on the way.
While Wayne hasn’t commented on Thug’s decision to continue Tha Carter series he started in 2004, his daughter –Reginae Carter – has shared her thoughts on Twitter.
“Is he trying to be funny with this Carter6 ? Cause it’s pretty childish to me ! #myopinion,” Reginae tweeted last week.
Thug has mentioned numerous times that he idolizes Lil Wayne.
Listen to “Beat It” and “Halftime” below:

UPDATE #2: Young Thug has renamed his upcoming album Barter 6.
In an Instagram video that has since been deleted, Thug claims he changed the album title due to threats of a lawsuit for copyright infringement. He didn’t mention who threatened to sue, but Lil Wayne has been upset that Thugga has chosen to continue Tha Carter series he began in 2004. Thug justifies replacing the “c” in Carter with a “b” by mentioning his blood gang ties.

yo you so on fleek with that shit lmao
my nigga, did you say on fleek? leave. now.
You starting off okay but then it becomes laughable.
The handlers know what works from previous success so they keep the minstrel shows similar to what worked.
this is straight trash. thugger needs to pull lil waynes dick out of his mouth. have some pride u dumb fuck quit swagga jackin.
BOOOO.. this nigga sucks. go back to the trap and hide yaself … Carter 6 … bitch be ORIGINAL. fake ass BLOOD.
thugger is dope
so we are all just going to ignore the fact that he said “let me beat it let me stroke it”…..
Back in the day, this would be called “biting”, his lyrics would be called “mediocre”, his jibberish delivery would be called “down syndrome”, and his sexuality/fashion would be called “gay”.
So you’re all for homophobia and laughing at people with genetic disorders?
No you self righteous prick. He is saying thug is a walking contradiction.
lol. He is doing him. not being contradictory. look up the word, then get out of your feelings.
OP’s right. Young Thug is trash. Real Talk, wuit defending him.
i think he is garbage as well, but if you are going to call someone out for being trash find other ways than using genetic disorders.
MY EARS ARE FUCKIN BLEEDING
better than weezy’s Carter 5 singles LOL
hell find out soon that all publicity doesnt turn into album sales..guarntee he does less than 50k first week. hten in a yr or 2 hell realize he was birdmans pawn when hes broke.
People need to calm the fuck down. The only thing he is biting is the album title. The only other thing he is biting is the voice he has of a squealing pig….
This dude is a fuckin clown
just like his idol wayne
How gayer can it get?
… what the fuck is up wit this dude?
make up your own title bich niga
This cover is as gay as he is.. damn, how dare he calling his album Tha Carter 6.
lol.. Hip hop is now gayer than Pop
haha young thug is just the current fad. his style will be played out real quick like plies, jae kwon, young joc n em
this lil wayne stan… smh
GRODT didn’t just have ‘good singles’, every track was good, and could have been released as a single in its own right.
I can’t think of 1 other album in any genre where every track could have been released as a leading single, but the album as a whole retains integrity & such.
GRODT, 50 in general, probably the most underrated OAT.
The problem with 50 is how quickly he went from GREAT to MEH…….
GRODT was fire. a great album. then he dropped the Massacre with TOO MANY records….like 22. If he cut out a good 8 songs (the pop ones and weaker ones) he coulda dropped another great LP…..cuz that shit had some good joints.
and then u had Curtis an BISD which were both super mehhhhhhhh. borderline wack
Damn, I fell off hard.
Is he supposed to be naked on that cover? Lol.
this gotta be a joke…dude gon sell less than nothing…hopefully
Tha Carter 6 gonna be a masterpiece. Young Thug is like the earlier, loyal wayne. He’s friends and doesn’t act like a bitch. He never forgets his roots and doesn’t demand more than what he deserves.
you do realize that wayne single handedly held Cash Money up for nearly a decade?
Jay you do realize you got Waynes nuts stuck in your throat right
HES THE EARLIER WAYNE ALRIGHT, GETTING FUCKED BY BIRDMAN DOING A BUNCH OF GAY ASS SHIT. HE DOESNT DESERVE SHIT. HES GARBAGE. 1ST. 2NCD YOU A FAN OF THIS NIGGA? AND U A NIGGA? SO YOU WANNA MEET THIS NIGGA AND HAVE HIM CALL YOU HIS LOVER SLASH BAE? WTF IS WRONG WITH YA NIGGAS. DID 90% OF NIGGAS JUST TURN GAY WHILE I WAS SLEEPING LAST NIGHT? YA NEED TO GET YA SHIT TOGETHER OVER HERE SUPPORTIN A GROWN ASS MAN WEARING DRESSES AND LEGGINGS GETTING FUCKED BY ANOTHER GROWN ASS MAN WHO’S BEEN OUT IN THE OPEN WITH HIS GAYNESS. YA’LL NIGGAS IS HOMO YOU A YOUNG THUG FAN? KILL YA SELF. RICH HOMIE QUAN SHUD KILL HIMSELF FOR EVER BEING APART OF THAT HOMO ASS SHIT. PERIOD.
You mean Carter 6 is gonna suck. You’re right about Young Thug being like Lil Wayne since he’s copying everything Wayne does. Also the rest of your comment is a lie.
Rich homie quan is better than him
Who cares who Young Thug prefers? If the man can make good music then he deserves to be listened to. That can only be judged by listening to his songs.
I love the way people here are being disrespectful because they can do it in the safety of their home or on their phone – why don’t you step up and go see Baby and Young Thug in person?
You won’t because Baby and Young Thug are gangsta. People who talk tough and then meet Baby are shit scared.
He is for real. So is Young Thug. You’ve never heard of people doing anything to Baby. They won’t because they can’t.
I don’t give a damn what those two are doing or not doing. I’m ready to hear some new music. I’m not threatened unlike a lot of the scared keyboard warriors here.
BABY AND THUG ARE GANGSTER? LMAO MY NIGGA IM BEHIND A KEYBOARD AND WHATS POPIN? ID SMACK FIRE OUT BOTH THEM NIGGAS ON MY MOMMA BABY AND THUG ARE HOMO ASS PUSSY ASS NIGGAS WHO PAYING TO BE BLOOD THEM NIGGAS FOOD. U THINK THEY RESPECTED IN KALI? N.Y? CHI? NO. THEY GANGSTER? NIGGA U EITHER A YOUNG BRAINWASHED MORON OR A HOMO OR JUST A FAN? OR A COMPLETE MORON WHO REALLY HAS NO CLUE ABOUT THE SHIT GOING ON AROUND HIM.
Okay, I listened to the songs and they’re garbage. And as far as people not doing anything to Baby, guess you haven’t heard about his incident with Bumpy Knuckles.
troll game on 1000
nigga u gay stfu
Oh really? Uhhh, Freddie Foxxx, a NYC OG, put the paws on that nigga and made him apologize to Wendy Day for how he did her with that deal for Univseral. #FACTSONLY
#FACTSONLY Foxx didn’t smack him up he pulled a gun on baby and put him on the phone with wendy to apologize she didn’t get any money…so apologies aint shit when you got 30 million and didn’t have to give any of it to anyone who helped you get it
Respect. That’s how I feel about alot of the industry. If u making (aight) music, the fuck all that other shit gotta do with their personal life? Them niggaz can do what the fuck they wanna do on their personal time, long as they keep putting out music that’s all that counts. If nobody fuck wit em don’t listen to them. Real shit
let me stroke it,Let me beat it?…N this nigga is signed to Birdman?O hell na…Cash money done turned to Fruit Loop Records
#FACTSONLY Foxx didn’t smack him up he pulled a gun on baby and put him on the phone with wendy to apologize she didn’t get any money…so apologies aint shit when you got 30 million and didn’t have to give any of it to anyone who helped you get it
LISTENING NOW AND I THINK ITS A CLASSIC
if u think its a classic ur a fucking loser who hasn’t accomplish nothing in life except listen to some piece of shit that reflects ur life i heard his whole album and its horrible numbers, amazing, with that, (especially with that) every last song is garbage u cant understand nothing hes saying cuz hes so high off lean words all slurred ur lying you never heard his album cuz nobody on the face of this earth will say his album is classic or hot or good its trash birdman has a loser real music isnt like this it wont sell 10 copies
don’t write paragraphs responding to trolls its not a good look…but forreal on bloods I listened to that shit on bloods I have no idea what hes saying word to the 5 but its a straight up classic on blood you smell me? W662718212p
Young Thug got a Little dick.
HipHopDX has some of the most homosexual and homophobic comments that have nothing to do with the music. I’m sure it’s not this site alone but why has this genre become so gossipy and superficial?
PAUSE
social media, the long tradition of tabloid hip hop press, bloggers who think they’re journalists and ad revenue
it’s not hiphopdx that is homophobic and it’s the hiphop community. shit is backwards.
Ain’t gone lie Young Thug is veryy talented and RARE.. Great Album!
What talent? Dude has none. The album is garbage.
No that’s kendrick’s album that’s the worst.
^ You got that backwards. Young Thug’s album is the worst while Kendrick’s album is the best.
both albums are garbage
^ Nope. Only Barter 6 is garbage. TPAB is a good album.
album of the year so far for me
Worst album of the year?
you need to not ever call yourself BK’s finest
Oh and Wayne was initally cool with the title tha carter 6. He saw this as a way to pay tribute to him. When he failed convincing young thug to leave cash money though, he did a complete 180 and bashed young thug.
That was for a mixtape fuckboy, not an album.
Danny boy, everything you said is all a lie.
greatest rapper to spit.
Spit cum?
So people really like this?
