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.

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

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.

Today I live in the suburbs, in a neighborhood [that's not] too bad.
Young Thug

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

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

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

The best way to use the auto-tune is not to! And that's what I do: I do not use auto-tune!

I'm signed to Atlantic through 300 Entertainment [Lyor Cohen's label]. That is my only contractual relationship.

I don't want my kids saying, 'My dad was a gangster, so I need to be a gangster. I would rather mine say, 'My dad was a stunna, so I need to be a stunna.'

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

This is the industry that wants [music], the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy, it must be present in everyday life.

I know I have this image but in reality, if you take all my records, I had to use five or six [tracks].
Young Thug
Image
You must not you worry about leaks or pieces [stolen] on your computer. You just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that's how it works.
Young Thug
Image
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.

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.

When my song Danny Glover leaked, I was a little bummed, but it finally allowed Kanye West [to listen]. One of my biggest surprises was his reaction: he liked [it] and he said he wanted to make a record together.

I am always with London On Da Track, Wheezy, 808 Mafia Mike Will Made It, Ricky Racks.
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.
Young Thug

I know, every time I get somewhere, it'll be strange. But if I understand correctly, I also have fans here and it reassures me.

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.
