One of the most eclectic characters in all of hip-hop, the incomparable Young Thug has officially released his sophomore studio album Punk. After months of teasers and hints about which direction the Atlanta-based rapper would be taking on the genre-fusing album, fans are comparing Punk to Thug’s beloved mixtape Beautiful Thugger Girls, which saw him rapping primarily over acoustic guitar beats. Much like on that project, the 30-year-old takes a smoother approach on his new album, opening up on songs like “Die Slow” and bringing some of his closest friends, including Future, Drake, Travis Scott, Gunna, J. Cole, and more, onto the tracklist.
From his fashion to his lyrics, Thugger has always been one of the most interesting and unconventional people in music. He broke down gendered barriers in fashion by wearing a dress on his mixtape Jeffery. And in a now-infamous tweet from years ago, the rapper bragged about the size of his marijuana joint on Twitter, saying that he’s “smoking penises.”
Young Thug is unlike anybody else in the rap game, and we’re going to prove that by gathering some of the quirkiest bars on Punk. Check out our list below, and let us know your personal favorite in the comments.
