Young Thug Goes Off On Metro Boomin & Future On Twitter
Young Thug’s impulsive, erratic unpredictability is one of the things that makes him such an exciting rapper, but it can also get him into some trouble, and that could be happening right now. Thug has done a ton of work with Metro Boomin, the tremendously exciting young Atlanta producer. They’ve got a duo called Metro Thuggin that was supposed to put out an EP last year, and Thug is the voice on Metro’s ubiquitous “Metro Boomin want some more, nigga!” drop. Metro co-produced one of the tracks on Thug’s brand-new Slime Season 2 mixtape. But Metro has also done a ton of work with Future, who is currently having a better year than anyone in rap, with the possible exception of Drake. In a recent string of tweets, Metro said that Future was the one responsible for the recent trend of putting out a ton of mixtapes in a single year and that nobody else should try to do what he’s doing. Slime Season 2 is Thug’s third full-length of 2015, and he evidently thought that Metro was referring to him. As Miss Info points out, he posted a string of angry responses, alleging, among other things, that Future is mere Tito Jackson to Thug’s Michael. Check out the whole exchange below.
Everyday I wake up, new mixtapes are falling out of the sky.. I think we all know where the trend came from lol 🐸?? pic.twitter.com/dytHN7fubs

And for all you internet niggas who like to tweet like you know everything, I'm not saying he's the first to do it.

Niggas tweet more than they read these days lol

Don't tweet me about anything before 2014 because that's not what I'm talking about. Talk to me about the CURRENT state of rap music.

Niggas know Guwop and Weezy legends. What's understood doesn't have to be explained.

All I'm saying is, I wish that everyone would put out more quality music over the quantity. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Moral of the story is, putting out 5 tapes in a year won't make you heat up like Future. That was just his path. It's not for everyone
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
Just take all the hardest songs from the 5 tapes you plan on dropping, and make 1 tape full of fire. #qualityovereverything

It's ok to ride a nigga dick, but don't agitate another one lil nigga

Metro and Future have yet to respond, but hopefully we can all agree that Future is nobody’s Tito.
UPDATE: Young Thug tweeted again that he has no ill will toward Future…
I think if you guys were to stop drinking so much cheap liquor and high-tech syrup you would be able to think before speaking and typing😊

I have nun in the world against future I listen to his music
His music makes me happy and I hope he continues to bless me and others with it

…but Thug’s somewhat passive-aggressive response didn’t stop Future from apparently subtweeting him.
U will never have the juice like dat…
