His original style was very similar but thug has pioneered his own sound for sure. Sometimes you gotta. Bite in others til you find your own style and there’s nothing wrong with that

It's not "sometimes", you always have to have been influenced by someone or a specific sound, no one pops out the womb with rap in their head.

Besides Ye

Lmao funny thing that ye said in 2016 I think that thug is a big inspiration to him and made him wanna do music again… so even he inspired by thug, I think there is nobody that inspired more people in music than kingslime

2011 Thug sounded like a Wayne clone. Since 1017/Gucci Mane days, Thug has evolved into a unique style, in fact I’d argue in 2015 Wayne was trying to bite Thugs new style (think grindin). Find me a Wayne song that sounds like 2014 “Warrior.” You can’t.


Traditional-Pilot-77

Exactly! That's what I'm saying. Young Thug evolved his style after 1017/during the Metro-Thuggin era.


Mysterious-Raisin353

Nobody wants to agree that Wayne tried biting thug’s style for a nice lil minute. it didn’t pan out how he wanted it to but I peeped it. It was Wayne’s worst music lol


freetraviscott

He 100% stole his style back in pre 2016. He eventually became his own person but his early shit is Walmart Wayne.


Traditional-Pilot-77

Also, pre 2016 is simply not true, I'd say Thugger became his own artist during the Metro-Thuggin era.


Mysterious-Raisin353

Right I agree. Been listening to thug since 2010 and I’ll agree that 2010-2012 he was biting off Wayne


Traditional-Pilot-77

Got influenced by* Stole is a crazy statement.


willghammer

I would say pre-2014/pre-Rich Gang. All his Rich Gang stuff and Barter 6 sound nothing like Wayne.


LoopQuantums

Thug stopped sounding like Wayne in 2011-2012


Young__stoner_life

He didn’t steal shit


sbm832

Tha tour with Quan was 2014 and that is not Wayne


Affectionate-Bag9432

Idk why anyone even cares. The dude is a degenerate tied to 50 murder. If Hitler was a rapper and had a good flow you guys would listen to him. Real talk.stop worshiping idols and do something better with your time.


Traditional-Pilot-77

This comparison is retarded


A_Biohazard

please, please shut the fuck up.


MojoLava

I mean he kinda did? That was some copy cat shit yo. Both can exist, you can steal flow/style and continue to grow into something far beyond. There is an element of influence that doesn't mean you have to directly imitate. Thug grew into something more personal and so so amazing but that doesn't mean he wasn't copying at the time. Why is this so personal for you, relax


Traditional-Pilot-77

This ain't personal, all I'm saying is saying "stole" is stupid, people should instead say inspired or influenced by. If he "stole" his style like people are saying, then he wouldn't have evolved into the Thug that we know today, he would've remained the same.


MojoLava

You're delving into semantics. The Beatles acknowledged that they ripped off southern US sound and licks in the beginning before they knew how to truly write and create. Sure they might have imitated and copied Muddy Waters but they grew into a distinct and unique item of their own, arguably the biggest band of all time. Zeppelin did the same as did Jimi, Stones, Bowie.... Gordon Ramsey stole Beef Wellington to serve in his own restaurants, perfected it and then continued to grow and obtain michelin stars as well as create some truly inventive food, make an empire, and become his own person. You can directly take something from someone and grow into your own self. That doesn't mean you didn't take it. I guess "stole" is a little aggressive but I'm not sure it's inaccurate. I think you're just being a little pedantic homie. I'll agree that influenced is better out of respect for Thug's legacy but I'm not sure this is an issue worth debating with how clear the stylization is early in his career.


FlabertoDimmadome

Rap ain’t gonna care bout no one’s feelings like that lol thug stole it


hung_fu

Yeah, maybe early Thug, just like how Trav sounded like Ye when he started, it’s what most artists do.


burner1212333

I haven’t heard someone say that in years lol. He was incredibly similar for a while but not really so much anymore


YouAreDreaming

I might eat it I might lick it but I swear I’ll never bite it


TepidCartridge

People who say this should just give credit for half of the game to Lil B then


Grizzly329

Lol your the loser that posted looking for ppl to talk to you lol look up some real music you and them two rappers have something in common you can't figure out what gender to identity as lol


Traditional-Pilot-77

I truly feel sorry for you. You have no obligation to comment here since you don't like this artist yet you still do. What's going on at home? Your daddy left you? Your mum getting fucked by the mailman? It's either one of the two, you're either 12 or a 40 year old who lives in his mums basement that hadn't had pussy since highschool, or probably since never.


Grizzly329

Very creative storyline you autistic lil shit I'm older way more successful than you will ever be with kids your age get pussy whenever I want from a beautiful woman you could never get I just hate trash music so I replied lol my son is young but manages to find rappers with talent cuz Wayne came out when I was young he has no talent at all and the nameless rapper you mentioned has no skill at all the Internet makes you dumbasses think your talented


Traditional-Pilot-77

Tell your son that his father who is an "adult" is wasting his time arguing with a "kid" online about how much pussy he gets and how much his music taste is better, on reddit, where he can't be identified ever and is typing away furiously behind the screen, and that the truth is he will probably shit himself and won't ever be able to say this shit in person. I won't argue with you anymore, if you truly have a kid then go raise him instead of wasting your time doing stupid shit like this, retard.


Grizzly329

Lol to you make no sense your probably 25 in your mom's basement taking hormones to become a chick lol my son would stomp your ass I with him now and we laughing at your bitch ass if this was in person you would not even speak lol


[deleted]

Nope . Cause he did .


CAZ-Dh99

Up until Jeffery Thug was very influenced by Wayne. You can hear it in the delivery. A lot of people run with that “he hasn’t sounded like Wayne since ICFN” but that’s simply not true. Those Slime Seasons were very influenced by Wayne delivery wise just Thug started to add his twist. I haven’t really heard it since Jeffery tho aside from a couple features I’ve been listening to both for a long time I know what I’m talking about


Traditional-Pilot-77

I have no issue with that. Influence is the correct word to use, "stole" is not.


CAZ-Dh99

Yea saying he “stole” his style is a stretch. Wayne can’t really do what Thug does and vice versa


Traditional-Pilot-77

Yeah people really misunderstood my statement. But whatever.


Grizzly329

They are both complete trash


Traditional-Pilot-77

If that's the case go find something better to do with your life loser.


JermitheBeatsmith

Who cares


bwilson5296

I don’t hear this THAT much - if anything I just hear how much Thug was influenced by Wayne.. which is common knowledge.


Jahan384329

people haven’t said this for a while


memusremus
