And I guess caskets are dramatic imagery always, lending some extra gravity to what otherwise might’ve come across as yet another batch of tunes hitting the internet on a random Thursday. While the timing and the cardigan’ed shout-out might not be easy to explain, 3 represents the end of Thug’s highly lauded Slime Season series, so he’s “burying” it. Label head Lyor Cohen read out the track titles in a dead-eyed attempt at excitement on Snapchat, as Thug’s music played in the background. It was preceded by a funeral march through SXSW, with pallbearers carrying a heavily graffitied casket down Austin streets. He premiered a track at Yeezy Season 3, a huge bump in potential crossover. It’s been delayed many times (almost as many as his long-awaited full-length debut, Hy!£UN35, anyway), replaced on his release schedule by other digital tapes.

While other records present a more appealing Thug in moments, Slime Season 3 is the closest you’ll get to a capsule of the torrential rapper’s state in 2016.įittingly, the record arrives alongside some of the strangest promotional content you’ll see for the year. But then there’s Slime Season 3, a release that slims down to a mere eight tracks and yet might only be called tame by the hardcore Thug fans looking for a record’s worth of Auto-Tuned yowls and screeches. But, then again, his unpredictability is among his chief assets a streamlined, digestible Thugger record would almost seem like an oxymoron. One chief complaint is that his releases are in serious need of some trimming, cutting through the mass of tracks in search of the essential jams. When it comes to winning over the people who are either utterly confused by his music or vocally opposed to it, Young Thug is kind of in a no-win situation.
