Young Thug Wags His Tongue And Moons His Haters In Four Swaggering New Songs
Young Thug dropped his debut album,
So Much Fun, earlier this year. The album is indeed
a lot of fun, with catchy, fire-starting songs like "
Hot" with
Gunna (that peaked at No. 11 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart) and "
The London" with
Travis Scott and
J. Cole (that peaked right in back of it at No. 12) being exhilarating enough to prepare the LP go gold.
So Much Fun is back in a new way because today (December 20), Young Thug has released a deluxe edition with four new songs including Gunna and Travis Scott on two of these. Just ahead of Christmas, Young Thug has made it a mission to create ensure that Santa gets lit (
like Gucci Mane before him).
Here's a fast rundown of Young Thug's new bunch of tracks.
"Diamonds" ft. Gunna
the initial of the four new tracks is "Diamonds," an eas, lovestruck refrain surrounded by Young Thug's laser-beam voice. He chants "Diamonds" with his eyes wide open and blank as if he's staring into a clear case at the jewelry store, mesmerized by the aesthetics of some gemstones. He brags about making his lady happy and having a good day with her, presumably to give her diamonds some time in the near future. Gunna comes in for the second half of the song and shares a verse with Young Thug, preferring to rap about being stingy with his own diamonds alternatively opposed to sharing the wealth with another. For Christmas this year, they're certainly going to their jewelers.
Best lines: "Every day she tells me I'm the G.O.A.T. / Lose never lie to the G.O.A.T."
"Hop Off a Jet" ft. Travis Scott
"Hop Off a Jet" is little more pulse-raising. The beat's a tad sped up, and once Travis Scott's on the track with Young Thug, they practically beg for mosh pits to form in the midst of crowded concerts. The two take the time to brag about tearing by way of the skies in planes as an alternative opposed to waving to taxis that zoom past them on the streets. Scott handles the chorus and smug first verse while Thug name-drops his preference cars and sticks his tongue out to his haters. He really, really, really loves his Corvette and his Maybach.
Best lines: "Just watered my wrist, baguettes, whoa, you know I'm a vet / Hop off the jet an as well K along with a three-headed snake"
"Die Today"
If your wrists were lined with diamonds, wouldn't you aspire to brag also? Perish Today" continues the trend, with Young Thug taking the time to incorporate peppermints, of all things, into his deep bag of flexes. He's certainly fresher than a peppermint. Although the second verse is where the flexes get outrageous. Not only does he have 26 rooms in his residence (which he strangely takes back in the very next line), he also has 26 brooms. I've never heard someone brag about cleaning supplies.
Best Lines: "I'm fresh as a peppermint / A green and white peppermint"
"Millions"
You'll be shaking your tail feather from the second that "Millions" begins. It moves fast and wastes no time breaking out a devilish dance of drums dangled airborne by a plethora of strings. Young Thug may call the song "Millions," yet the particular idea of cash is in the back seat. Alternatively, the rapper chooses to highlight his lifestyle as real wealth. From taking photographs with fans to smoking as soon as he wants, Young Thug has to smile once he's alone. He's living the good life.
Best Lines: "Billions, stack this cash and lay low like barbarians / Brazilians, wax it and pass it to Australians"
