It isn't a coincidence that those are the ones that rank among Thug's career best. In case you haven't heard this yet (he literally states it at the beginning), he has "London on da Track" for four of the songs present. "Digits" sees Young Thug successfully melding his singing and rapping to an introspective, lush beat. "With Them" boasts one of the most memorable beats of year thus far while Young Thug delivers his hard-to-define flow that somehow will roll around in your head long after the mixtape ends. The short run-time of this project seems to help the poignancy of the tracks, with no song overstaying its welcome in the thirty minutes present. It's certainly of no matter to Thug here, Young Thug croons, raps, and auto-tunes his way through a focused eight tracks. His singular fascination with his own success and wealth will most likely always disgruntle self-described hip hop purists. Soon after, he found himself on more best of year-end lists than you could shake a stick at. It took less than two years for him to get scooped up by Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad Records.
It's almost laughable how quickly Young Thug gained popularity given how his persona seems more like a caricature, but it's hard to resist the charisma that he exudes on his mixtapes. Slime Season 3 makes a fairly good case for the hip hop that shows a blatant disregard for lyrical dexterity (or coherency, for that matter).
