What are you doing right now? Are you getting your affairs in order? Have you called your grandma lately? Unless your answers to those questions in order were: “preparing myself for the new Young Thug mixtape,” “yes,” and “of course,” then you had better drop literally whatever’s in your hands right now (yes, even if it’s a delicious club sandwich!) and BUCKLE UP. Young Thug, he of the voice that I find myself vainly trying to imitate whenever I’m alone, he of the straight-up killer 2013 mixtape 1017 Thug, of the 4/20 masterpiece Young Thugga Mane La Flare with Gucci Mane, and of the certifiably and mercifully non-Fred-Armisen-related-at-all Black Portland mixtape with Bloody Jay is back again with one of those sequels Hollyweird is so crazy about: 1017 Thug 2: The Thuggening. The “Thuggening” bit is a sequel joke on my end and not actually part of the title.
And — surprise! — this whole deal is popping off way faster than anyone had any right to expect. I mean, you’re reading about it now, so I’ll bet you’re thinking “oh, I’ve got a month to prepare at minimum.” That’s where you’re wrong, dummy. According to Gucci Mane, 1017 Thug 2 will arrive tomorrow! Less than 24 hours from now! Okay, I’m gonna catch my breath from all this yelling. You should scope the predictably great “Lifestyle” from the mixtape below.
