    ive been mesmerized by this freestyle since it dropped.

    he doesnt miss a beat, does every single ad lib the final version would need, switches his flow multiple times, and emotes perfectly

    and he's clearly not trying at the same time.

    when this dropped i legit watched it once a day for like a week.

    Ive seen a lot of ppl say they f--- with thug but this is trash

    I think its a cool look into how he works. You can see how he slowly merges with the beat.. He starts just mumbling sum random flows and testing out sum harmonies. By the 3rd minute he's all the way inside the pocket pickin out dope flows.

    Im convinced he woulda came out with some real fire in like 10 minutes. Problem is this s--- just isnt presentable

    I mean yeah i can def enjoy it for what it is, just like most of his fans probably can. This isnt winning him any new fans tho. Which i think is like the main point of freestyling on radio.

    most uncompromising artist of our generation if we're being honest. dont think he cares.

    literally told lyor cohen to f--- off when he said he had to revist his songs over time and try to "make them better" lol

    has a better sense of his sound, at the moment, than anyone else alive

    s--- was the worst when that vine with random clips went viral. So easy to take this out of context and pass it off as thug at his best

    A friend of mine sent me the link to this freestyle two days ago, saying "yeah young thugs alright but his freestyles s--- lol"

    Needless to say he was wrong, and we don't speak anymore

    I mean it's trash if you're expecting a pre-written "freestyle" like most other rappers drop on these shows. @Narsh you've seen Tha Carter Documentary right? This almost identical to Wayne's process. Like @El Ares said he was about 10 min away from creating a hit.

    s---, forgot the 1st one is him laying down his Swagga Like Us verse :sweatt:

    lol no he literally doesnt

    the issue is that the same session he makes throwaways he makes songs like Flaws. Or The Promise. or Makaveli.

    it's his camps job to curate those releases, and they've done an awful job of for the most part. thats part of what made Alex so important, and now he's not even there.
