![]() Point blank, if you love straight rhymes and ignant music this is one of the best releases out right now. He croons, "N***, I'm a crack addict" is one of the the most honest lines on any record. This is the most ignorant music on the planet. Highlights: "Check", "Halftime", "Knocked Off". (By the way this Metascore is making me laugh, and I actually thought that was Thug singing on Amazing.) Grade: B. This album doesn't match up to some of his early material, but Thug's on a great start and I'm looking forward to hearing Hy!£UN35. I can't imagine anyone else making this album - maybe with the lyrics a bit, but overall Young Thug is distinctive from others. The lyrics aren't that bad honestly, and gosh, that production is great. For me, though, I think of Young Thug as a rapper that will be remembered for his albums such as this. The lyrics aren't that bad Yes, I know I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this review, but Barter 6 is overall a great debut album (or mixtape, as Thug prefers to call it) from Young Thug and establishes him as a figure that will be remembered by some and forgotten by some. ![]() Yes, I know I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this review, but Barter 6 is overall a great debut album (or mixtape, as Thug prefers to call it) from Young Thug and establishes him as a figure that will be remembered by some and forgotten by some. To put it in context his singing is very much reminiscent of the Coctau Twins despite the fact I'd bet any amount of money that Young Thug would of never heard of them. Its as if his sub conscious is bleeding through all the egoisms and boasts and the lavish hedonisms is all too much. Its this ability that fascinates me so deeply, he's so emotive despite not actually discussing anything with substance. Featuring a sinister, brooding and even harrowing beat that Young Thug attacks so well you'd swear he wasn't just talking about literally getting a check and instead emptying his soul, fears and pain onto it. Lead single 'Check' is the albums greatest moment, a song so brilliant that it could at this point possibly be his best. Young Thug is flying ahead while the rest of the rap world is playing catch up, this record proves he has no sign of slowing even if it isn't quite the leap we believed was coming. No song is, as expected, extremely out there and eccentric, Young Thug has created a fairly straight forward debut which actually pays off by affirming his status with a number of songs that despite being safe, are nothing like what the rest of the game is doing. ![]() You'll find nothing here like Stoner, Danny Glover or even the fairly recent hit Lifestyle. Many expected this project to be the 1 in a million debut that would push the critics to sing nothing but praise but unfortunately its much more low key. The melodies are complete ear worms, immediately catchy, sticking in your head and if you're anything like me, staying there for days. Whether crooning inaudibly or rapping in a triple time flow, he remains very much in control of his voice, utilising it very much like an instrument. By no means is this projects atmosphere particularly fast paced, on the contrary, the beats are extremely hazy and sludgy but Jeffrey Lamar Williams is an agile MC with an impressive command over melody whose voice can take off at a moments notice. This is very much an 'in the moment' type of album, very much so because Young Thug, like his Idol turned rival Lil' Wayne, comes off the top replacing perfection with an electricity and raw magnetism rarely found these days. ![]() By no means is this projects atmosphere particularly fast paced, on the contrary, A morally repugnant album with few well thought moments but immediately beautiful.
