Young Thug joined Travis Scott on his “Rodeo” tour this spring. Young Thug remembers when Kanye West stopped by the Los Angeles show and wanted to hear his music.
“He had a Beats Pill and was like, ‘I wanna hear all of your music in the world that’s not out,'” Young Thug says to Rolling Out. “So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, ‘Let’s roll!’”
The former Rich Gang member says that West is a fan of his and his support helps keep the 23-year old focused.
“Fans are the main reason you stay motivated and become who you want to be,” the Barter 6 rapper says. “Kanye is like my brother, but he’s a real fan. He bought me some Yeezys and went on eBay to get them for me. That’s motivation.”

Any reason you keep posting this line from the tru detective?good show and all but what gives§
This is why Common left GOOD Music as soon as he could…
….He was there for like 7 years, and he keeps saying that he’s part of the G.O.O.D. Music family. Try to act like a better smartass, instead of a dumbass.
Kanye 2004 co-signs: Common, Mos Def, Talib, Twista, Alicia Keys, John Legend
Kanye 2015 co-signs: Young Thug, French Montana, Chief Keef, 2 Chainz

You’re surprised that music has changed in 11 years?
No, I’m surprised he co-signing more trash rappers instead of the good ones, minus Kendrick and Vic Mensa.
This is why I hate hip hop. Niggas like Kanye signing these fuckboys.

How can this guy be compared to Bob Marley,his music is meaningless plus he sounds like a chicken being chocked,shit he sounds like his being butt rapped
Kanye West will say and do anything for attention. He needs to sit his old ass down. Young Thug is garbage!
Mahn thug is unique retards like u just follow the crowd….well me I’m just staying tru
Frosty these boys listening to drake calling him the I’ll eat over Jay z how can’t you get to these pussy ass frogs oh I got it. Let see for them selves go listen to half-time on the barter six and tell me you heard a flow like that in a minute I think Kane about to blow thugga up more
kanye wanted to hear all his unrealeased joints so he could steal his ideas
See all people do is watch young thug get big and then continue to hate on him for shit they’ve only heard from the radio or other people. Just go listen to his music and you’ll understand the comparison. I was never a fan of young thug the person but young thug the artist is one of the best at manipulating a melody. Keep going thug. If people don’t hate, you ain’t doing something right.
Maybe if you stop dickriding, then you’ll see that Young Thug sucks. He has no melodies, he’s just babbling like an idiot over Auto-Tune.
That song with Thugga on Jaime XX’s album is amazing. Thugga and that reggae dude definitely bring a Bob Marley vibe to the track. Thugga’s got some hot tracks out right now. I could see Thugga going on to change the game like Kanye and Drake.
LOL good jokes.
But bob marley had a political message, so i dont see how the two intertwine
aint giving a fuq about nigga hustle but surely nigga cant tell me he believes that ish ye said.
First off you must be one of those who can’t hear young thugga when he spits the boy goes off and the barter 6 is decent I. Ant help to listen to half-time everyday then the rest of the album dude is reggae slang island tongue homey you gotta have music in your blood to know if young thugga is that and I’m a fan I’m hip-hop from 1979 to now homey I’m from Brooklyn newyork the mecca
being like bob marley is an under estimation. infact young thug is elvis presley the black version.
Hey, at least you tried.
What an insult to the Marley family…..Young Thug hasn’t been around long enough to be even compared to the likes of Bob Marley. Young Thug probably doesn’t even know who Bob Marley is…..Kanye is definitely on one!!!!
