Mar 28, 2016 Honestly I've been a bit disappointed in the days following this release. It's not that I dislike SS3... there's not a song I don't like. But for me it doesn't have a single song as good as the highs on Barter 6, SS1 or 2, or even I'm Up. Like none of these songs are Top 25 Thugger for me, except maybe With Them. So I guess I'm disappointed because if he was gonna only put out 8 tracks they should have all been top-tier. If this had the same amount of tracks as SS1 or 2 with the same caliber of quality as the already existing ones I think I would like it more. It's just underwhelming I guess. I'm glad the Slime Season era is over because I have extremely high expectations for HyTunes.
Mar 28, 2016 that wasnt how i worded the first sentence, it was the editors choice. but yeah i get what you're saying
Mar 28, 2016 i liked the editor, i just didnt like how i went to sleep to a draft i was gonna keep working on in the morning and woke up to a (imo) botched version of my review already published just means i have to work harder on better first drafts next time. i'll be alright.
Mar 28, 2016 Spoiler: my version There’s nothing more confusing than following Young Thug’s career. Hype, speculation, and scandal have always surrounded the 24-year old virtuoso and now that 300 Entertainment CEO Lyor Cohen seems to be fully behind the YSL brand, things have, surprisingly, only gotten weirder. Slime Season 3 has had one of the oddest rollouts this side of The Life of Pablo. The typically subdued rapper went from doing one interview a year to his first ever radio run, premiered a song at Madison Square Garden during Yeezy Season 3, did a pump-fake with the initial release date, then announced the new release date with a funeral procession during this year’s SXSW. Even on the day of the release, the antics were in full force with various people (from Zane Lowe to Kanye West) premiering tracks all throughout the day. All this to say that following Thugger’s career is akin to taking the Red Pill -- it’s staying in Wonderland and seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes. But for both him and his fans, it’s still ultimately about the music so, in the words of the man of the year, “f--- all that, let’s get to it.” Slime Season 3 is a taste of things to come, in that the credits go to mainly one powerhouse producer: London on da Track. While many might be drawn to the tape’s relentless opening run, the best 3-song run on the project is courtesy of London (“Digits,” “Worth It,” “Tattoos”), with the soulful twinkle of “Tattoos” being one of the most understated moments on the mixtape. Thug’s ever-elusive major label debut, Hy!£UN35, will hopefully build on this tried-and-true relationship. However, not to be outdone by their colleague, Mike Will Made It and Allen Ritter mark their territory through the unhinged bounce of “With Them” and “Drippin’,” respectively. These atypical beats allow Thug to carve out new footholds at breakneck speeds, then consequently completely disregard them as he does whatever the h--- he wants. Slime Season 3 is the eulogy for this recent era of Thug’s music. It’s the swan song before he finally makes the conversion to being an album artist. Fear that streamlining Young Thug’s music, reeling in his creative mania, would hinder his allure are valid. This project may lack the range and subtlety of last year’s Barter 6 or even last month’s I’m Up, but that’s not to say it’s one-note. Where the latter might have Thug himself crooning about his best friend’s false conviction, Slime Season 3 simply places that very friend, Peewee Roscoe, as a feature on the YSL showcase “Slime s---” so he can passively mutter “f--- the judge.” “Memo” and “Worth it” are there to anchor the lovesick persona of Thug at either ends of the album, while the soaring anthem, “Digits,” is structured to be the backbone for the entire release. Although he already has a handful of cult classics, Slime Season 3 is built to be his most accessible release to date. At least Thugger still raps like an alien sent to help us progress as a species (probably why we all didn’t die in 2012). He still phrases his bars like he’s Yoda while pulling off mind-blowingly complex lyrical acrobatics with reckless abandon (just try rapping along with opener “With Them”). He still can’t help himself from being a sap (“Worth It” is the best love song to drop this year, sorry Rihanna). And he still continues to stretch the constraints of rap until there’s no point in even trying to describe it (“I wrote my verses with three bars like an Adidas Stan Smith, n-----” doesn’t sound nearly as volatile on paper does it?). The songwriting has become tighter too, with moments of lucid thought, such as the introspective intro to “Digits” (“why not risk life if it’s gon’ keep going?”), packaged and delivered with precision. The allure of this project lies in its consistency. Where previous releases oozed with unpredictability, Slime Season 3 offers something much more user-friendly. The moments of unfiltered indulgence that used to drive his music are merely sprinkled throughout. Young Thug's 2015 run was filled with dynamic moments, such as the confessional cries on Slime Season 2’s "Never Made Love," and while the range is still there on this installment, it’s sectioned into neatly packaged offerings. If you want the hopeless romantic, check out "Worth It," while "With Them" is there to provide the witty one liners and “Problem” the defiance you’ve come to expect from the man who tried to release Tha Carter V before Lil Wayne. There's less unrestrained experimentation, which is what made his music so engaging in the past. But with a more tangible sound, Young Thug is finally here to cement himself at the forefront of mainstream rap. The existential wail of “Digits” is Young Thug’s personal bracket “March Madness,” “Tattoos” and “Worth It” can be played at weddings, “With Them” and “Slime s---” during the bachelor parties. “You don’t know a ting ‘bout me, okay,” he declares on the standout “Drippin’,” in a Jamaican accent he pulls out of the Bermuda Triangle. And after countless hours of music, this still somehow feels true. [/quote]
