The vast majority of post-2000-born rappers trying to make a splash today would undoubtedly claim both Future and Thugger as the ultimate wave-makers – that’s why Super Slimey turned heads at breakneck speed when it dropped out of nowhere.
The title alone lets listeners know what is about to go down – the Super Trapper and the man behind the Slime Season series joining forces to execute gravelly Auto-Tuned murmurs over orthotic level support from an all-star production team (Mike Will Made-It, Wheezy, London On Da Track and Fuse, to name a few).
As soon as you hit play on leading track “No Cap” and hear Southside’s tag with that first roaring Kill Bill siren, you can tell the album is going to have the crème de la crème of beats — which it most certainly does. The only issue is that Hndrxx and Thugger don’t do much with them.
These room-filling, trunk-rattling banger beats make up the majority of the 13 song tracklist — which basically give Future and Thug the perfect alley-oop — but instead of shattering the backboard they get stuffed at the rim.
Technically speaking, the two trappers mix well enough to make the album listenable, but there are no real standout tracks. None of the songs on this album will likely crack the 100 million play count on any streaming service – they all just blend together like the music playing in the background at the local Foot Locker. “No Cap,” “Three” and “4 Da Gang” go a little harder than the remaining 10 but this is only thanks to the headbanging beats.
As a minor saving grace, both MCs get a few hot bars off throughout the 40 minutes. Future hits “Feed Me Dope” with some troubled gangster lines like “I was hustlin’ in the field with all I had boy/ My mama shed a few tears but I wasn’t sad boy/ Tryna explain to her for years she had a cash boy/ I took a pill and a half today, that ain’t my last boy.”
Thug then adds his metaphorical touch on “Group Home” where he vaguely yet poetically raps: “I cheated on my fears, yeah/ I broke up with my doubts, yeah/ Got engaged with my faith, yeah/ And now I’m marryin’ my dreams, yeah.” Nothing worth remembering a month from now, but still, better than a lot of this album’s filler.
It’s unfortunate there aren’t more instances on this project where they’re both going back and forth with each other in a sort of mumble rap bar-for-bar exercise. The most they actually mix together is when one sings a chorus and the other does ad-libs. Other than that, they barely touch each other’s verses, choruses or bridges. They don’t even attempt to harmonize with one another on the few deep cuts that call for more singing.
A musical collision of this magnitude definitely calls for a little more experimentation, especially from two of the genre’s most experimental.
What makes this lackluster display of pseudo hitmaking so concerning is that Future and Thug are poised and self-described as top tier hitmakers — something they’ve proved repeatedly all year. But despite joining forces, they simply don’t live up to the expectations they put on themselves. Super Slimey falls tragically short of being considered a strong joint project and it’s inherently clear that they still shine brightest as individuals.
Get ’em out
Two most ovvwrated, trash artists in the game put out a trash project, what a surprise. Still haven’t been able to listen to one song by either of these dudes all the way through.
Conway and Westside Gunn is not Nas or Andre3000 lmao
“Super Slimey” is how Future described Young Thug’s butthole.
Hiphopdx are you always this stupid or did you exert yourselves
All these rappers nowadays r average…wtf u talking bout dx..get it together..it all sounds the same n all bullshit
This is actually exactly what I wanted from these two. Future and Thugger just goin at these tracks with no big pop crossover bullshit to get in the way. Doesn’t need to break new ground it just needs to re-establish these two can still shoot from the hip with the bars.
Lmao this goof is obviously trolling. If not you know his playlist consists of these clowns and the likes of uzi vert, Kodak black and all these other no talent having mumble rapping hacks. This probably dj akademik with a fake account lmao
Just cause I used the word bars doesn’t mean I think these two are Rakim and Royce.
I just really didn’t feel the chemistry on this one. More features would’ve helped, Thug and Future couldn’t save this themselves.
Bone thugs -> garbage. they used to be good 20 years ago, now they some old ass trash bags.
Super average? Super garbage!
The south stay winning and dx writing fake hate comments won’t work . Who’s helping dx write its fake comments #Russia LOOOOOOL
Russia writes their comments that’s funny !
stuffed at the rim? no stand out tracks 200, Drip on Me, Mink Flow?? The reviewer needs to go wash his face. Super slimey sounds like a set up for another project
That thugga line WAS actually pretty fuckin dope, that other ish for future was trash
