    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).

    Doesn't every artist who sings/raps use their voice as an instrument

    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.
