Young Thug, whose Barter 6 album leaked today (April 16), disses Lil Wayne on the hook of “Can’t Tell.”
“Pussy boy I’ll leave you dead and call it Dedication,” Thugger raps. While he’s insisted many times that he idolizes Lil Wayne, some could interpret that line as a diss towards his idol, given that Wayne released a Dedication series of mixtapes.
T.I. is also on “Can’t Tell.” Yesterday (April 15), T.I. took the Atlanta, Georgia rapper’s words as sincere when he addressed the purported rivalry he was having with Lil Wayne. “‘Everybody’s making it a whole lot more,'” T.I. said Young Thug told him. “‘I’m doing it to pay homage. That’s my favorite rapper.'”
Barter 6 has been heavily publicized due in part to the emcee’s statements. The rapper called his “Mamacita” collaborators — as well as his new boss, Birdman — his “lovers.” Then there is his referring to Rich Homie Quan as “Bitch Homie Quan,” as well as his Jay Z diss in a GQ interview.
The album itself has received special attention due to his addressing Lil Wayne directly. Thugger initially named his album after Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter joints, then later posed on the album’s cover naked. A week ago, Weezy told his Mississippi fans, “Y’all let him know I said, ‘Fuck ‘em,'”
The Young Money affiliate slated the album’s debut performance for Weezy’s hometown neighborhood of Hollygrove. In an Instagram video, he alluded to bringing guns to the New Orleans release party, as well renaming the album as Barter 6, in lieu of Tha Carter 6.
Barter 6 is available for purchase on iTunes.

Reachinnnnnnnnnnn
Reach of the lifetime hiphopdx….. come on son
DX is starting to fall off. Whatever happened to breaking new artists and covering the underground? I am really trying to stick around but eventually people will start to ignore these headings of these posts. You guys don’t or barely feature a lot of the underground artists you use too. Sheesh not sure what happened but DX is turning into AHH…SMH!
And PLEASE UPDATE THIS DAMN COMMENT SECTION. SHITS OUTDATED.
Young Thug cool Wayne cool what the problem is?
That’s the best way to respond when your idol disses you. Shit on them back. Don’t be like Cole and find ways to apologize. That Let Nas Down song was shit.
Gotta cosign that.
Cosign.
Not necessarily.
Another huge hit for cash money in the works. Looks like Cash Money will be able to get over wayne’s loss just fine. It’s wayne and his young bitch money label that’s losing.
Just wait
this is one ugly motherfucker. I hope they shot his ass when he gets to Hollygrove. dead ass. if Wayne is a real nigga, he will have Young Thug shot in Hollygrove
that’s the thing he aint even going to the hollygrove, he is going to house of blues, he aint playin in the hood, he will be where all the white ppl and tourists will be at

Definitely reaching with this article.
all these rappers are wack..no point of covering them..Wayne is the reason all these newer rappers act feminine..its not even hiphop anymore , its a bunch of clowns getting rich off b.s.
When you say “wayne is the reason all these new rappers act feminine” i hope you mean that he paved the way for all this pussy shit.
If Thug is gonna start dissing Wayne he is gonna have another fan.
“the young money signee” mutha fucka he’s signed to gucci…
He’s signed to cash money now. He has to finish up an album for atlantic but its still a cash money album just distributed by atlantic.
I really think this dude is going to die, like be murdered. he doesn’t know when to shut his mouth, whether he is about that life or not, he is pushing the envelope in a direction that is going to make a lot of ppl angry, no amount of cough syrup can save this fool
That’s wayne, not young thug.
PAUSE
1. He’s not signed to Young Money, he ain’t even signed to Cash Money
2. He supposedly idolize and worship him yet your dissing, taunting, and even going as far as to threaten to kill him. That’s disrespectful
3. If he wanna diss Wayne, he might as well diss is own damn self. His whole image is based off of Wayne’s career. He’s just a copy cat artist.
Keep playing in that tigers cage, eventually that tiger gonna fuck around and bite him
1. Thug is signed to cash money with distribution at atlantic 2. When wayne dissed thug, all bets were off 3. Thug ain’t a wayne copycat.
Please everybody do your part and DO NOT purchase this idiot’s album. Strong sales are going to encourage these labels to support these terrible rappers and their dog shit albums.
yall fools is reaching
Now this how create a story. Would even call this journalism, but gives journalists a BAD name
