#ALBUM DE YOUNG THUG BARTER 6 SERIES#

'Every time I dress myself, it goes motherfucking viral,' he says. Like Fifth Element вЂ™s Leeloo or Cowboy Bebop вЂ™s Radical Edward,В Young Thug is a scramble of dramatic extremes and subterranean lingo, so unintelligible until you sit still and simply listen to the kid.

This whiplash is a glance of the album in general, which dials between playful ('No, teacher, we ain't talking shit!') and morbid ('Wait, let me pick up his remains/ Let them gators get their prey') with ease just short of ADHD or some such disorder of thought and imagination. Like on 'Od,' when he babbles to a mistress: вЂњWipe it, wipe it, wipe it!/I get that pussy, and I just demolish,В -molish ,В -molish /Divide it all in they mouth, no Trident/No, baby, but I wipe it! I kiss it and goodnight it.' Mind you, this is the second half of a verse that begins with somber nods to Mike Brown and Thug's deceased brother Bennie. By the power of his surreal poetics, ThuggerВ summons the keyВ gangsta rap tropes-libido, camaraderie, angst, intimidation, and addiction-and recasts them in his singular image. I love Rich Homie QuanвЂ™s noir yarns as much as the next gal, but Quan's absence doesnвЂ™t deflate Barter 6 as much as fans of the defunct Rich Gang might initially fear. 'Dome' is a notably weak moment, in which Thugger'sВ hook ('Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.') and Wheezy 5th's sleepiest beat lull one another into a coma, despite Duke's brief attempts to shout life into the track. And while the beats are innovative, they can sound listless in comparison toВ Thugger'sВ own dynamic range. His yelps and howls and literal cries for attention are a soundboardВ unto itself, and his standard rapping voice plays more like a saxophone than speech. Though Young Thug is an avatar of New Atlanta, producers London on da Track and Wheezy 5th thwart the boom-snicker monotony of that scene with high-noon brass on вЂњNever Had It,вЂќ and a campfire riff as the hook of вЂњAmazing.' As always, however, the melodies hinge on ThuggerвЂ™s voice, which could carry most of these songs even if they faded a cappella mid-delivery. damn near whispering his threats and rГ©sumГ© on 'Can't Tell.'

Of the seven guest rappers featured, only Young Dolph and MPAВ Duke sound like full-bodied intrusions, with T.I. Apart from 'Check' and 'Can't Tell,' however, most of Barter 6В is the inverse of such a blockbuster: spacious and muted, with few traces of the power and catchiness of 'Stoner' or 'Lifestyle.' Of 13 songs, only six offer simple, immediately impressive hooks. Where Rich GangвЂ™s Tha Tour Part 1 opened with catharsis, Barter 6 opens with вЂњConstantly Hating,вЂќ a leisurely yawn that resembles the intro to DrakeвЂ™s Take Care. Alternatively: 'Pussy boy, I'll leave you dead and call it dead-ication.' While the running feud between Weezy and ThuggerВ is, ostensibly, a new development, Barter 6 is littered with hints at this rift 'Got 100 mil flat like my motherfucking idol/I might eat it, I might lick it, but I swear I'll never bite 'em,' for instance. Here, instead, we have an exceedingly quirky tape that comprehensively illustrates an exceedingly quirky rapper, hence the bounty of shout-outs to pizza, the animal kingdom, and the letter B.

#ALBUM DE YOUNG THUG BARTER 6 SERIES#

Given the slobbering ingenuity and pop preference that Weezy's Carter series represents, Young ThugвЂ™s Barter 6 is not the record you were expecting from the rapper who explicitly jacked that mantle from his idol. This is not the album you're looking for. With lackluster promo and two weeksвЂ™ notice of its release, Barter 6 is an anti-event. Of course the launch of his debut album-and yes, itвЂ™s an album-would be defined by drama and missteps, so-called: first he calls the album Carter 6, then he renames the album when a third party (presumably Lil Wayne) claims copyrightВ infringement, then he calls the album a mixtape and promises a true debut in August. To observe Young Thug is to entertain the misdirection of an enigmatic troll.
