YOUNG THUG SLIME SEASON 3 SERIES
If that was the intention, the eight tracks we’re given to close out the Slime series fall short. But they feel tangibly uninspired, a byproduct of innovation whose sole intention was to garner hype for Thugger’s full-length debut. London on da Track has come forward as saying the four tracks he produced on here were made two years ago (three of which were started and completed in a single day while both were high). “Slime ***” bounces around with synths that sound like shoes sliding and screeching on a basketball court, while “Digits” has an atmospheric layering that, coupled with its weak hook, feels like a track that was scrapped from Barter 6 but lazily resurfaced here.Īnd it’s not just a hunch that these tracks are half-baked leftovers from older days. Tonally, it’s entirely inconsistent, with little regard for track ordering or maintaining a semblance of cohesion. But on Slime Season 3, that tone is gone. The dark trap flavors were held together at the center of each song, even when Thugger was branching out into foreign territory in his traditional experimental fashion. Both had approximately 18 tracks, and while I may not have ever described their tone as “slimey”, both had an undeniable consistency in terms of sound and approach.
But it’s hard to argue that Slime Season 3 holds up to the past Slime tapes. These may seem like heavy claims, especially considering Young Thug is probably the most divisive artist making music today. Now, we have a musician fully aware that his name alone will sell his outputs, regardless of how comparatively shoddy or ill put-together they are. The days of Young Thug needing to change the sound of hip-hop are seemingly over. Cohesion has been thrown away under the mixtape moniker, chalked up to that strung-together collection of random singles and throwaway tracks that weren’t up to par with the supposed quality he’s held out for on his upcoming Hy!£UN35. Now what we have is a Young Thug whose work ethic is admirable, albeit severely flawed. But Slime Season 3 does represent the departure from the Young Thug that created 1017 Thug and Barter 6. While our score for I’m Up may be higher, that’s not to say Slime Season 3 is a worse offering. But with Slime Season 3, the conclusion to his two-year series, he’s shown the same pattern of indiscernibility and a lacking quality control that’s made Future's recent output feel so forgettable. He’s an artist, hailed for his ability to take the trap sound Atlanta’s been toying with for the last few years and transform it into a sometimes ironic, sometimes genuine take on hip-hop, painting the scene in vibrant unconventionalities. And it’s the same fast-paced, momentum-driven mindset that exists in Young Thug fifty years later. Surrounded by a backwards mentality, the city was noted for standing above it all, putting progression, innovation, and tolerability first.
Way back during the Civil Rights Movement, when the South was being dominated by vehement masses fueled by racism and a desire for segregation, Atlanta was deemed “The City Too Busy To Hate”.
Review Summary: As it stands, he may be too much of a character to hate, but Young Thug is certainly becoming easier to ignore.
