Quote

It's a pretty crazy thing in which I tried to make songs, real songs, not the quick stuff like on a tape. A dose of Kendrick Lamar, a dose of J. Cole... because it's got to be an album that goes [in the] club.

I just put anything on my back. I take what I have on hand.

If you're 30, 40 years old, you're not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age.

This is the industry that wants [music], the rap industry.

It was stressful [to live as a child in a Sylvian Hills]. It's always been complicated, honestly... I do not really want to tell you, actually. It bothers me that you want me to tell this.

I know I have this image but in reality, if you take all my records, I had to use five or six [tracks].

Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain't gonna be doing what he's doing.

A mixtape is for the street, it's something you without necessarily thinking about it, because you have to stay in the game. It's like writing an e-mail saying hello to your friends.

I do not always listen again but if something strikes me, I exploit it.

Mixtapes, it's for everyone and you throw them in the trash quickly. While an album is an object that only your real fans take the trouble to buy and know you have prepared something special.

I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write.
Young Thug

I do my stuff, my mixtapes, as you say. We just need time to capture. After that, I do not know what he thinks, but for me, it is time to get things together.
Young Thug

I spend more time with Gucci [Mane] or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares [about] contracts?
Young Thug

I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write … This is a true freestyle in general. I put a beat, I said some stuff, I retain ideas, I do it again, with a particular intonation, I test, and especially I record live.

I'm always in range of a microphone. I even have a studio at home.
Young Thug

I feel close to [Kanye West]. We're friends, this is not just a working relationship.
Young Thug

This is where the guys who copy me are planted: I do not use auto-tune, I sing. That's my advice!

I am not versed in production software. I have basic knowledge, but it ends there.

I always knew I could rap, and in a sense I always rapped. And I've always behaved like a rapper. But I started to take it seriously when I recorded with the people of Brick when I started to receive some money.
Young Thug
Image
I repeat it until it works. It is important to record, otherwise you lose ideas. That's why I never stay away from the studio, I always [have] something to ask.

For a long time I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you're a kid.
