Young Thug knows when credit is due. He made waves by wearing a dress on the cover of his No, My Name is Jeffery mixtape. While many mocked the Atlanta rapper, some, including Erykah Badu, saw the art in the intention and said that he reminded her of Andre 3000.
Young Thug took to Instagram to acknowledge the legendary singer for her sentiments.
“Thanks Ms. BADOU… Let’s make us a baby!!” Thugger writes on Instagram for the caption of a screenshot of Badu’s original tweet.
Andre 3000 is also known for his gender-bending fashion and paved the way for personal expression outside of the gangster persona in Hip Hop. While he has remained fairly quiet musically lately, he appeared on Frank Ocean’s Blonde album with a verse seemingly dissing Drake over ghostwriting allegations, but probably wasn’t.
With Lil Yachty making a new wave for the ATL Hip Hop scene, Young Thug doing what he does and ATLiens celebrating its 20th anniversary, is Atlanta in a new chapter or just furthering what it’s been doing by pushing the envelope of what’s expected in Hip Hop?
I think a major difference is that with Andre3000, it was always about music first. Sure there was his crazy fashion and it was definitely covered and talked about at the time, but it was always hand in hand with music. Young Thug and his attention-grabbing persona out-shadow his music.
This dude Young Thug is really desperate that nigga would do anything sale records.
Anytime this nigga talks about making babies with you ya better run… niggas 25 and already got 12 kids so you know he is serious…lol
He’s talking about making music idiot
Erykah had a baby with Andre, that’s why he’s saying that
Oh no then you misunderstood him/it then because anything with young thug attatched to it would not be a baby babies are cute and adorable a young thug song is like a teenage abortion dumped in the dumpster on prom night…
Y’all just don’t know music. Young Thug is the best artist to come out of the south since Drake, Nicki and Lil Wayne. swag
Nails on chalk board with a deaf girl screaming in the background would sound better
Fuxx no
Don’t ever bring up a hip hop legend in the same sentence with this fk boi. Hasn’t had one hit on his own only as a feature artist.
Andre 3000 wasn’t a gender bender….he wore eccentric clothing which was weird to say the least…but the man didn’t come out wearing skirts and tube tops…stop it….closest thing i seen him dress to a woman was a blonde wig….Not even close to the same thing….
no more dreams, just rational suicidal idealization. it is what it is. life was really bad to me. i now look so weird that people looking at me like… wtf…. shit is hella uncomfortable even sunglasses don’t help. that’s what 2 years of nonstop anxiety and insomnia do to ya body. i feel like old person. ain’t it funny. i know imma mentally dead, now i need to be physically dead too. fuck this world which won’t to give me euthanasia. after complicated multiple fracture of my leg my knee with all ligaments is totally fucked up after crash. now imma walking cripple with knee brace . i can’t run forever! how can i run when somebody gonna try to rob me or fight me? damn feelings of hopelessness, what if? i once was attacked by my “friends” and ran away but what now when i can’t no longer run? fake friends… life is so sad. health is over quality of life is over. you broke, unemployed failure in life. i miss my school dayz when i should become something, but it all went downhill too. imma ashamed that i still exist. i want to be forgotten. death please come for me. “it gets better” lol no! it’s gettin downhill since 18. you can never understand when you never experienced this type of shit.
