    Not a fan of Thugger, but I may be able to expound on this.

    it's the same concept as using a keyboard with voices in it: when you use the artist's voice as an instrument instead of, well, their voice, it becomes another layer in the composition. It's in the same vein as screamo music, coincidentally. When you listen to the vocals phonetically, you get a better understanding of flow, rhythm, harmony, and cadence.

    ASAP Rocky is one of my favorite rappers because of this, and Jay is one of my least because I find his rapping super monotone (but that's for a different purpose, anyway).

    I think its also because sometimes you might not necessarily understand him but that's kind of part of it. It's another layer like @polivarious said it's similar to screamo. He uses his voice to deliver lyrics but also utilizes it as sort of a compliment to the instrumental.

    Not sure if I explained that well I kind of find it hard to explain but I do agree with the statement.

    He emphasizes the interaction between the beat and his vocal melody as opposed to spitting bars in a traditional manner, it's not a difficult concept to grasp.

    Yeah, but in rap it's more standard to have a spoken word approach.

    as opposed to using his voice one deminsionally, thug layers vocals almost as instrumentation
