Young Thug shared new details about his upcoming project.
Young Thug just released his debut album, So Much Fun, but before he released it, he prepared to release the follow-up. The rapper announced his new project, Punk, which will be more “lyrical” than previous projects. He also plunged a little deeper into the meaning of the project title. “[Punk] means brave, unselfish, conscious. Very, very neglected, very misunderstood. Very patient, very authentic,” he said.
Rolling Stone has just published an interview they did with Young Thug where he dived deeper into the concepts behind Punk, especially compared to So Much Fun. “So Much Fun like nothing is thought of. It’s just for fun purposes. The name of the album is straightforward as to what it means,” he explained. “The difference and Punk is that Punk is that I let them into my real life. I let them know all the situations I’ve ever experienced. Opening up, letting fans enter, I feel like I’ve never let them.”
But the album itself, he said, can be compared to Tupac. Not in style but because of purity and honesty that he intended to complete this project. “This is more like Tupac,” he said of the project. “I talked to Jay-Z and he told me, ‘We have to learn how to continue what Pac is doing. Pac is a teacher. Pac teaches.’ The Punk album that I will release soon will probably be the best album, because it really teaches you, gives you life situations, it teaches me humans. I am you. I am him. That is very verbal. “
Now, this might mean we are entering a new era of Thugger but it seems he is just preparing for global fame now because So Much Fun is coming out. “You know I will get this album out of Punk, and that will make them know a little about my life, let them know a little about life itself. I don’t think I want to make them understand. I like to say that I’m misunderstood. That makes him tense. That makes it perfect, “he concluded.
