Thug’s efforts to maintain his relevancy throughout all the trolling and controversy are not in vain. Whether you’re a fan of Young Thug or not, guaranteed there’s a track or two on Barter 6 that’ll keep your head knockin’.

There are enough bangers on this album to put Migos to shame. Some standout tracks include ‘Check’, ‘Never Had It’, ‘Dome’, and ‘Can’t Tell’. That doesn’t go without saying, I really disliked the intro. Even so, I can’t truly see into what Thug was doing on this track because, just as Tyler did for Cherry Bomb, Thug had his vision for this album. As the opening track to B6, I feel as though this one should have been scrapped. There’s a few tracks that missed the mark, one in particular is Constantly Hating. If there is any advice that can be offered so that this can be improved on, it’s get Quan on a track, just saying.īeat selection on B6 isn’t bad at all. Notably missing is fellow Rich Gang member and frequent collaborator Rich Homie Quan. The features are another standout on B6, ranging from Birdman to T.I. It’s a mix of rhythm, lyrics and soul, but that’s a discussion for another day. Thug drops hot lines here and there but you shouldn’t expect anything more. It’s original and genuine.įrom a lyrical standpoint, there’s not much here. Maintaining the style that got him famous and not switching up is the number one thing I like about this album.

One thing that I was able to take away from this album was that much like Tyler, The Creator’s latest album Cherry Bomb, B6 is the brain child of Young Thug on his own. Bangers, nothing but bangers.Ĭontroversy aside, the album lives up to the hype that surrounded it, with bass heavy beats and that signature weirdo style delivery Thug is known for. Leading up to the release of B6, Wayne was caught putting the album title and Thugger on blast, shortly after Thug took to instagram to inform his fans that due to a lawsuit the album title was being changed to Barter 6, dropping the C and referencing his blood ties.

The name of this album is surrounded in controversy, originally titled “Tha Carter 6”, paying homage to Lil Wayne, Thug’s idol. It was this unorthodox style of delivery that had many listening to him even before the 1017 Thug series, myself included. Where to begin, well let me begin by saying this album/mixtape or whatever you want to call it, is not bad at all.
