Atlanta, Georgia trapper/singer Young Thug is finally releasing his Drake-executive produced 13th mixtape after a 2-month pushback. The tape opens with “Family Don’t Matter”, where he’s talking about his homies over a beautiful country/trap instrumental. The next song “Tomorrow ’till Infinity” is about Thugger wanting to spend the rest of his life with his fiancé Karlae & the production on here is just THUNDEROUS! “She Wanna Party” if you couldn’t tell is about a wild party chick over a smooth ass instrumental & “Daddy’s Birthday” gets braggadocious over a mellow instrumental from longtime collaborator London on da Track & surprisingly Scott Storch.
The track “Do You Love Me?” is another song about Karlae & while it kinda reminds me of “LOVE.” off of Kendrick Lamar’s latest album DAMN. (especially during the hook), I thought the one line on here like about “busting in her hair Milky Way” was funny as fuck. The song “Relationship” is a duet with Future & I love how they trade back & forth about treating their ladies right over a joyous trap instrumental.
“You Said” featuring Quavo sees the 2 talking about their relationships with Karlae & Quavo’s side-chick over a Latin guitar-tinged trap instrumental, but I didn’t think it had to be 7 minutes long. “On Fire” has a dreamy instrumental & lyrically, Thugger is asking Karlae for a threesome but in a hilarious fashion. The track “Get High” featuring Lil Durk & WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg is a nice down-tuned piano party anthem
The song “Feel It” melodically raps about having sex over a just as intoxicating instrumental & despite not being crazy on the songwriting with the track ”Me or Us”, the way he sings over an acoustic guitar & some heavy bass is just beautiful. The song “Oh Yeah” gets introspective about being a father & a future husband over a spacey instrumental.
”For Y’all” expresses his gratitude for his success over an acoustic guitar with some triumphant horns during the hook & the closer “Take Care” beautifully speaks on posing to Jerrika over a surprising almost-electronic instrumental.
Didn’t need consider myself a fan of Young Thug at first & will admit that it did take me some time to appreciate his artistry. Either way, I think Beautiful Thugger Girls was almost as great as his last mixtape Jeffery was. Primarily because it’s a prime example of how versatile Thugger really is, despite him being a polarizing figure in recent years
Score: 3.5/5
