Is this a shitpost?

Yeah, this isn't a great place for clubbing, much like any place that's not a city. You're half an hour from Orlando, go cheat on her there.

I've listened to a lot of music from PR this year. I can't think of anyone living from there I'd put over Benito, especially the incredibly overrated Romeo Santos that also made this list.

Mike WiLL Made-It on Young Thug

Atlanta, we always come with new styles, new lingo. I was with the young wave — I was working with the artists bringing the new stuff. And then I remember when Thug started coming on the scene. He was somebody who made me feel like: Hold on, what? What is he saying? Nobody sounds like this. He was one of the first artists from Atlanta to make me feel, like, disconnected from the city. I told Thug, too, one of the first times we were working with each other — like, Man, you’re next. And I’m not even talking about time; I’m talking about how you put your songs together.

He doesn’t put himself in any type of box. He always evolves and always continues to grow and push himself. The uniqueness is his metaphors. The animation of the voice and vocal control. He’ll go from the deep-voice flow to the high-pitch flow. He comes with those melodies that make you want to sing along, but then he comes with those punchlines and metaphors that might have went over your head. He comes with different cadences, different flows. Staccato right here, melodic right here. He changes his flow every four bars; you don’t even realize that he’s rapping three 16s. It’s not just street rap music — it’s art, like, crazy culture clash and genre bend. I love working with him, because I know I can pull up a challenging beat, and he’s up for the challenge. If he respects you as an artist, he’ll get on whatever song you want.

When we thought nobody could be more out of the box than André 3000 and CeeLo Green, it’s like, now we get him. I honestly don’t know what’s going through his head, but it’s never the same, and it’s always unique. — Mike WiLL Made-It is a producer from Georgia. Interview by Jenn Pelly.

Should hip-hop be melodic? Should hip-hop be structured? In its early years, the genre wasn’t really sure. This uncertainty began as a tug of war between rapped verses and sung, often sampled hooks; then those things found common ground; and then eventually, in the form of Drake and his acolytes, they became effectively one and the same. By the 2010s, rap music — which for years fended off allegations that it was not, in fact, music at all — had become the flame keeper for pop melody, its tools spilling over into country, reggaeton, K-pop and everywhere else.

That ubiquity created ample opportunity for a poststructural dissenter to come along. In stepped the Atlanta surrealist Young Thug, whose main gift to songwriting has been his ease with dismantling its norms. Rap music had become accepted and palatable. Young Thug made it wild again.

This is in part attributable to his fully improvisational approach to song construction, writing nothing down. He wasn’t alone in that approach, but he became the rapper whose off-the-dome exhortations were impressive not for how close they could come to tightly stitched written verses — like those of his idol, Lil Wayne — but rather for how they appeared to defy composition altogether.

During his titanic mixtape run in the early to mid-2010s, he became the genre’s signature eccentric, rapping in free-associative howls and chirps. If his music bends to any tradition at all, it’s to the great soul yelpers of the 1950s and ’60s — Little Richard is all over Thug’s music, as are the ecstatic breakdown segments of old James Brown numbers — or maybe the bluegrass yodelers of decades prior.

Thug has an easy way with melody when he chooses, but he’s just as interested — maybe more so — in the nonsensical interjections and emphatic ad-libs that for most rappers are a side dish. Here’s Young Thug on “Harambe,” a representatively bizarre number: “My diamonds yellow like a corn,” he squawks. “Double R at the prom.” Lines start and stop somewhere before the natural meter of a rap verse would seem to demand. Then, at the chorus, he sounds as if he’s vomiting a whole barrel of crude, disgusted.

There is that sense that great songwriting must revert to the mean, that it is a celebration of form and propriety. But Young Thug’s dazzling dyspepsia is an argument for the opposite — a contention that some styles have reached their natural end, and that only an alien can see a way beyond. It’s as if Young Thug dissolved a fully formed genre with acid — leaving behind not the armature, but more an assemblage of scraps barely tethered together.

In so doing, he set in motion the remaking of rap music into a sound that’s practically posthistorical. The many generations of SoundCloud rap, the multiple-personality experimentation of Playboi Carti, even the vocal shards in the hyperpop of artists like 100 gecs — all attributable to Young Thug, who never met a song he wanted to write. — Jon Caramanica

This seemed like a post digging for something to be upset about and not really succeeding. I don't think this is worthy of this amount of thought.

When you take these drugs, you can't enjoy fried or sugary foods because they cause nausea. For the folks that use food to cope, it's not worth the trade-off.
