Barter 6

“Check” By Young Thug Turns 9: It’s Still An Essential Trap Cut

by

If there is a big three in terms of trap music and/or Southern hip-hop, Young Thug is more than worthy to enter those discussions. The Atlanta, Georgia native is a living legend now, but early on his career, his style was seen as avant-garde. His unconventional cadence and experimental approach to the subgenre turned a lot of people off, especially hip-hop purists. It took some time, but fans started to come around to his artistry and he grown to be one of most influential names we have going today. Part of the reason for that is because of songs from Young Thug like “Check.”

Barter 6, Thug’s debut solo mixtape under 300 Entertainment, officially turns nine years old today and we thought it would be fun to take a journey to the past. However, this song certainly does not sound like it belongs there. Due to the simplicity of the beat from London On Da Track, “Check” still feels as if the record dropped this year. Everything just clicks, especially Thugger, who has one of his more iconic intros to any song in his career.

Relisten To “Check” By Young Thug

On top of that, he flows like a hot knife through butter over the woozy, slow-mo bass and 808s, as well the chunky kick drums. This also set up a great working relationship between Thug and London. They would go on to make “Lifestyle,” “With That” (on the same project), “Digits,” “Memo,” and so many countless classics. Be sure to relisten to “Check” by Thug and its iconic music video above.

What are your thoughts on “Check” by Young Thug? Is this the best track on Barter 6, why or why not? Where do you rank this song amongst his entire discography?

Quotable Lyrics:

I can see that bulls*** from a mile away (See it)
You can stack my money ’bout a mile away (Stack it)
I got three white b****es like it’s powder day (White)
Mink coat with the rolls like a Shar Pei
And all of my b****es sexy, call them Barbies (Sexy)
She lookin’ back like I’m flexin’, baby, no way (Uh-uh)

Lil Uzi Vert has been hard at work ever since releasing their latest project, The Pink Tape. In fact, it seems like their next album is going to be some sort of Young Thug tribute. The album name is going to be Barter 16, which is, of course, a play on Thug’s iconic mixtape, Barter 6. Overall, fans are very intrigued about this new body of work. Although we don’t know much else besides the title, it seems like the album could be released as soon as next Friday. This would be huge as Barter 16 could very well be the biggest album of the year.

Yesterday, a lot of people were thinking about Young Thug. This is because it was his birthday. The influential rapper turned 32 years old, and although he is locked up, we hope he got to see what people were saying about him. There was nothing but tributes for Thug on social media. In fact, even Gunna wished him a happy birthday, which led to plenty of amusing reactions. As for Lil Uzi Vert, well, they wished Thugger a happy birthday by posting the cover art for Barter 16.

As you can see up above, the cover art for the album is a 100 percent accurate recreation of the Barter 6 cover art. Uzi is even naked on the cover, which is exactly how Thug shot his cover back in the day. It was definitely a bit of a risk, but fans appreciate the realism. Moreover, Uzi revealed that the album will be dropping soon. An official date was not revealed, but fans should anticipate some sort of announcement very soon. After all, we do have the cover art.

Hopefully, we get some more details on this project, very soon. Let us know your expectations for it, in the comments section below.
