It is practically impossible for a hip-hop song to reach the popularity of that song, in mid-2017, Thug captivated us with the release of his album, Beautiful Thugger Girls. The album originally titled Easy Breezy Thugger Girls (or EBBTG), had the collaboration of Future in “Relationship”, Snoop Dogg and Lil Durk in “Get High”, and the British Millie Go Lightly in “Family Do not Matter” and “She Wanna Party”
Following in the footsteps of Future, this time, Young Thug is set on Martin Luther King to succeed, although being fair, “Mask off” did not seem like an invented rhythm out of nothing, but a cover of another track that has a lot of history, “Prison song” played by Tommy Bulter and Carlton Williams, also was part of a tribute album made to Martin Luther King himself.
Being one of the most eccentric American rappers whose songs talk about drugs and crime, product of his own experience, returns today with “MLK” his Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. where you can hear phrases like this: “I pray my deaf brother don ‘t run into the police,’Cause you tellin’ him to put his hands up, I can not hear”
After releasing the first three installments of his mixtape series I Came from Nothing throughout 2011 and 2012, Young Thug caught the eye of rapper Gucci Mane, who invited Young Thug to sign his 1017 Brick Squad Records label, later He launched his first project on the label, his fourth mix, 1017 Thug. The mixtape was received with positive comments from music critics, who noted it for its original style, and was included in a series of end-of-year lists for 2013, Rolling Stone ranked it number five in its Top 10 Mixtapes of 2013. and The Guardian placed it among the Top Five Mixtapes of 2013 and since then it has been on the rise.
Young Thug is not only controversial for his flirtations with crime, but also for the provocations on his records.
The most incendiary was when he appeared dressed in a dress by Alessandro Trincone on the cover of his latest album Jeffery advised by the clothing brand Vfiles, who posted a video of the choice of dress.
At that moment, everyone began to question his masculinity and also his sexuality. Later, with the photo of the cover of the disc, memes were made, it became viral and he himself commented that at the age of 12 he began to wear feminine clothes.
Do not lose sight of Young Thug, because it will give a lot to talk about.
