Young Thug is the stage name of Jeffery Lamar Williams, an American rapper, singer, and songwriter who was born on August 16, 1991. His songs has an impact on the contemporary sound of hip hop and trap music, making him a respected figure of his time. I Came from Nothing, the first in a series of independent mixtapes released by Thug in 2011, was the first of his distinctive vocal and dress sense. He joined Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records in the beginning of 2013, and later that year he released his label’s debut mixtape 1017 Thug to positive reviews.
1. “Gucci Mane is my brother, Birdman also, we’re working together but it is a form of brotherhood. We’re friends but there is no need of a contract. In a sense, I’m signed on their labels, but there is no lawyer involved.”
In this quotation, Young Thug refers to Gucci Mane, another rapper, and claims that since the two are friends and don’t require a contract for their relationship, there is no need for a lawyer to get involved. Gucci Mane is his birdman and a brother to both; despite the fact that they work professionally.
Theirs is a brotherly bond. There is no need for a contract because they are friends. Even though there is no lawyer involved and no contract, he supposes that he is signed on their labels.
2. “Atlanta is the number one place to live. You live better, you eat better, the rides are better, vehicles are better deals. It’s better people. More mean people, but at my level you it is about business, so it’s perfect for me.”
The capital and largest metropolis of the U.S. state of Georgia, Atlanta, is the subject of this quotation from Young Thug. He claims that it is the best place to live and that only when you live better do you eat better, have better rides, and can buy vehicles for the best prices.
However, he also claims that even though the people are much more mean because, at his level, he only cares about business and nothing else, living there is ideal for someone who has more money because, in larger cities or places, people are less likely to care about one another.
3. “If you feel that you can just come in the studio and freestyle on my song, then I’m ready to rap battle you. That’s just how I feel about it because I know I’m way harder than another rapper freestyling on my song.”
According to Thug, who is quoted in this passage, he is ready to engage in a rap fight with the other party if they believe they can simply walk into the studio and freestyle to his music. Because he is aware that he is far more talented than any other rapper who freestyles on his song, that is how he thinks about it.
This demonstrates unequivocally that he is the only one capable of completing any job of his in the finest possible manner, and that neither anybody else nor everyone else is capable of accomplishing what he has done thus far.
4. “It’s a pretty crazy thing in which I tried to make songs, real songs, not the quick stuff. A dose of Kendrick Lamar, a dose of J. Cole because it’s got to be an album that goes to the club.”
According to this quotation from Thug, it’s a pretty strange thing, but he tried to write songs—real songs, not the quick things you hear on tape. He wanted it to be perfect because it must be an album that is played in clubs, so he also added a dose of J. Cole and a dose of Kendrick Lamar.
Two artists who have sparred, dropping their own verses over each other’s songs, who collaborate on music, and who each have a distinct style that makes them stand out.
5. “Wayne and Drake, it takes them so long to do a song. I understand why because they want it to be perfect. But I think I can do a perfect song in 10 minutes.”
Lil Wayne is a well-known American rapper, singer, songwriter, record executive, and businessman who goes by his stage name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. Thug is quoting Lil Wayne in this sentence. He is frequently acknowledged as one of the greatest rappers of all time and is considered to be one of the most influential hip-hop musicians of his generation, according to Aubrey A Canadian rapper, singer, and actor by the name of Drake Graham.
Drake, a significant personality in modern popular music, is recognized for introducing singing and R&B sensibilities to hip hop.He claims that the reason why they both take so long to finish their songs is that they want them to be flawless, but he asserts that he could complete a flawless song in just ten minutes. This exaggeration of confidence in his abilities reveals his overconfidence in his ability to produce a flawless song in ten minutes with no flaws.
6. “This is the industry that wants music, the rap industry. You have to be on deck every time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy; it must be present in every one’s life.”
The rap industry is the one that seeks out songs. You must always be on duty, therefore you do not have time to complete the album. It is an energy and must be present in daily life. This quote also shows that a rapper has less time than all of the other people as the person who is creating rap music is always at work.
As working on music means that you are working all day as you seek inspiration from the surroundings and put all of it in your work which means that you are working all day. It is also about the energy and must be present in everyday life of the people.
7. “I always knew I could rap, and in a sense, I always rapped. And I’ve always behaved like a rapper. But I started to take it seriously when I recorded with the people and when I started to receive some money.”
According to Thug, he has been rapping kind of his whole life and has always known he could do it. And throughout his whole life, he has behaved like a rapper. But he started to truly take it seriously once he started recording with the people of Brick and started to make some money.
By saying this, he is also implying that once someone begins to get money from what they are doing and pursues it as a profession, they begin to take it seriously since it is the thing that is providing them with money and a profession to work and earn money from it.
8. “All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the similar reality.”
He is referring to everyone who left his region before him when he uses this phrase. The people who live with you in your neighborhood, who also know the most about you as you have lived and grown old together in life rather than just seeing each other on the television, which does not show the reality of an individual.
But with people you have lived know your truth and reality which means that they know you, are the most significant people, aside from those you see on television. This is because you share a common reality, which also means that the most significant people are those who are close to you because you share a common reality.
9. “The same image that I have of all the countries where I am supposed to go: it’s far, it’s different, it will be necessarily complicated … It’s another part of the world for me to come from the United States.”
According to him, he has the same image of every country he is supposed to visit: it’s far away, it’s different, it will undoubtedly be difficult, and since he is from the United States, it is a different part of the world for him. He also mentioned that the United States is very different from anything he had imagined across the globe.
This saying also means that all places look fascinating once you go there and start to live there because every place is different, complicated, and has difficulties and challenges of its own because nothing is easy as it looks like.
10. “Whatever I think of, that’s what I do. I wake up and think, ‘I want to buy a car,’ I go buy a car. Wake up and be like, ‘Just want to lay in bed with my girl,’ I do that. I wake up and want to rap, I rap. So whatever I think of.”
This quotation is about dreaming and achieving it in life as he does whatever comes to his mind. When he wakes up, hehas the thought, “I want to purchase a car,” so he goes buy one. He does that when he wakes up and say, “I just want to lay in bed with my girl.” I start rapping when I first get out of bed.
Therefore, whatever I think about, he does that, which also shows if a person does a thing by their choice, they are well successful in life, the people who listen to their soul and not just work because of mind and money, a person should enjoy what they are doing rather than just doing it for the sake of it.
11. “I feel like I started a lot of things. But I don’t try to downplay nobody’s career. I ain’t make their career. And I just made a lot of people not be scared to be them. I just like to see people do what they want to do.”
This quotation demonstrates how he is like a human in that he believes he has made many beginnings. He makes no attempt to downplay the successes of anyone’s career, though. It’s not up to him to decide how they will pursue their careers. He has only succeeded in assisting many people in overcoming their fear of being authentic. He enjoys watching others follow their passions.
Because he leads a similar life and believes that doing what the soul says is what one should do. He encourages others to follow their passions and listen to their hearts and souls because only doing so will enable them to accomplish great things in their lives.
12. “I don’t ever want to be like a peasant. I want to always be all right. But motivation is fans, not your kids, your mum, none of that. All of that matters, but number one is your fans.”
He doesn’t want to behave in a rustic way ever again. He wants to be safe all the time. Your following, not your mother or kids, are the ones who motivate you. Your fans come first, despite the fact that all of it is crucial. This demonstrates the need for people to value and give importance to their followers.
Because they are the ones who help you grow in life more than your family because they help you even though they don’t know you. As a result, you should value and give importance to your followers in life just as you value and give importance to your family and friends because they inspire you to do better every day.
