Some artists seem to thrive off controversy and from the looks of things, it appears that Young Thug is among that group. After making headlines with the release of his Barter 6, album, the rapper is now gearing up for the release of his next body of work, HY!£UN35, which will be in stores on September 24. Along with an upcoming tour, the rapper is featured on the cover of Dazed Magazine, wearing a Gucci dress. Yes, you read that correctly. Among the hilarious interview with the rapper, he reveals just how long it takes from him to create a record, whether true or not, it makes for an interesting read.
I ask him how he goes about writing songs. “I think as I go,” he says. “I can’t remember 16 bars. Unless you write it, you can’t. I just do it bar for bar. I did a song in eight minutes. I thought everybody could write songs that fast. But working with a lot of them, they don’t.Wayne and Drake, it takes them so long to do a song. I understand why, because they want it to be perfect. But I think I can do a perfect song in ten minutes. I did ‘Danny Glover’ in eight minutes. ‘Stoner’ took me almost an hour.”
As pictured above, the rapper also rocks a tutu, adding onto the clear notion that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him or his attire. Antics aside, it’ll be very interesting to see if his tactics ensure him a successful launch for his new album or will it turn around and backfire.
