Mar 25, 2016 http://yearofthethug.com/eulogy/ explanation on the burial and the SS series. basically that the leaks stole thousands of hours of time and millions of dollars from thug's career. years of work. it was time to bury that era and birth a new one. @ThuggerSXN really cool imo
Mar 25, 2016 Yes he did... Sure the leaks were out there. But he should share some of the blame with Thug's team.
Mar 25, 2016 Only thing that doesn't make sense is that some of the blatantly best leaks are still just that...leaks. And I'm up was new 2015 material. And ss3 is short and has like none of the full leaks lol
Mar 25, 2016 I don't think you understand how the unreleased tracks were back then lmao If you'd actually been a part of that, you would've known most people had 30-40 Thug tracks and some other tracks from misc. artists in Atlanta. Young high schoolers would get their hands on them and send to all their friends, who would send to all their friends, who would trade for more songs. I mainly finessed people for songs and stuck to a small circle of 4-5 people who as a group collected songs together. We rarely sent out songs to anyone in the first place. Whoever leaked all the songs didn't get them from me because some of those songs were low quality versions that I hadn't even had in the first place. Only thing that leaked that I had touched for sure was the Boy Remix, and that was only sent out after all the traders had Boy to, once again, finesse those ignorant f---s who would ruin Thug's career. You don't understand, I have friends who were in high schools in Atlanta like Langston who would tell me about how people would just casually be in the halls talking about sending each other songs and listening to them because it was so common to have his unreleased s---. So once again, I repeat, I had nothing to do with the leaks.
Mar 26, 2016 Ya I had 25-30 by the time they all leaked and I wasn't even a part of any of those song trading circles, people just gave them to me. That's how common they were. You can't blame one person.
Mar 26, 2016 I think the leaks were critical to developing Thugs fan base. It created a huge buzz , the word of mouth did more for him than Lyor & 300 in establishing his name.
Mar 26, 2016 Agree completely. There's no way I would have been on the hype train in time for the Slime Season era if it weren't for the leaks.
Mar 26, 2016 what a time I turned 1 song from a random dude koolo put me in touch w into like 40 in one week without ever leaking anything myself lol
