Instead, Young Thug tends to live, and thrive, between proper release dates. Thug’s is a chaotic mind, and former 300 Entertainment boss Lyor Cohen admitted some difficulty in training the rapper to release songs in a timely, disciplined manner. And yet, he’s already got more than five years of great mixtapes, successful singles, and major rap cameos already to his credit. Young Thug has, at this point, flourished for three too many years to count Beautiful Thugger Girls as his debut album, though, technically, it is. They’re two Atlanta tricksters whose voices, so uniquely deployed, render sharp emotional uplift even as their lyrics sow a mix of confusion and amusement among fans. Young Thug and 2 Chainz: 14 years apart in age, and yet they’re competing for a single generation’s affections. The song, produced by FKi and iLL Wayno, opens with snaps and castanets, only for 2 Chainz to slowly leapfrog his way to a higher register and plane, the beat shifting around all the while like a Super Mario World stage. That album’s standout track, “OG Kush Diet,” is the most consequential solo record that 2 Chainz has made in several years. 2 Chainz also dropped a new album, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music, on Friday.
Young Thug isn’t the only Atlanta casanova dropping a for-the-ladies-titled hip-hop project this month. It’s just a young rapper teasing his creative range by launching himself to a goofy genre extreme and then working backward to his real wheelhouse: R&B. It’s a jokey moment, and I promise you the rest of the album past Track 1 isn’t some novelty rush to country music. Twenty-five seconds into “Family Don’t Matter,” the first song on Young Thug’s latest album, Beautiful Thugger Girls - which dropped last Friday - the braided ATL weirdo shouts “yeehaw!” while rapping about Xanax over a friendly acoustic guitar riff.
