So Much Fun

About

There aren’t many rappers who can claim to have the stylistic influence that Young Thug has had—a fact that may or may not have slowed the once prolific artist’s rate of output. Never lacking in feature work, the majority of Thug’s career saw him release multiple projects annually before dropping the Future collaboration <i>SUPER SLIMEY</i> and the YSL Records showcase <i>Slime Language</i> in 2017 and 2018, respectively. A little more than halfway through 2019, Thugger awards his fans’ patience with <i>So Much Fun</i>, an album that not only reminds us what we’d been missing, but one whose title seems to speak directly to the experience of creating it. Thug sounds elated to be making music across <i>So Much Fun</i>, unloading quirky stream-of-consciousness bars like rounds from one of the many guns he so often cite. “I put on my brother, I put on my bitch/Had to wear the dre, ’cause I had a stick,” he raps on “Just How It I.” He gets explicit on “Lil Baby,” telling u, “She put my cum in her cup like it was shake/I’ll never fuck this bitch again, it was a mistake,” but also proclaims via “Ecstasy,” “I don’t wanna talk about no hoes with my dad.” Fair. .
