Slime SZN: Young Thug Covers The Fader's 20th Anniversary Issue, Talks Hiatus, Influence & More

Young Thug on So Much Fun:

“I really didn’t think too much about it. It’s just fun music. You only should play this music when you’re having a good time.”

On his forthcoming project Punk:

“It’s most definitely touching music. It’s music that the world is going to embrace. Punk means brave, not self centered, conscious. Very, very neglected, very misunderstood. Very patient, very authentic.”

On the notion of “real rap”, which is expected on Punk:

“[Real rap is] letting people in, letting people know what you go through. Let them know that you the same. I just want to open up. Let people know that I’m not just a rapper, I’m a human being. Let people know whatever they go through, I done been through or somebody

done been through it. Those are the things that make people grow. People that want to commit suicide, you might give them another chance.”

On what else he’s been up to over the past year:

“I relaxed, worked on my label, got everything how I needed it…[I] forgot about myself, felt like a lot of people forgot about me…Well, not forgot. But I was making big moves.”
