If you've ever taken music/singing classes or just wrote your own music you'd know that Thugga is talented. Everyone says ooooohh it's just the beat that makes it a great song but what they voluntarily don't hear is him riding the beat. People pay attention to lyrics so in depth that at that point you're not even listening to the music just the words. Great music is a combination of the beat/lyric/flow.

I'm not listening to brain dead music cause it sounds good. I might as well listen to R&B.

So are you saying that he's doing the same as others, but better?

He's doing the same thing [rapping] as others, but better. That's what I'm saying.

Understood, what I'm wondering about is why some are calling him "unique" then.
Because for better or worse, scat rap is a deviation from the norm of what one might typically consider 'hip-hop' to be. He operates under an umbrella that's only big enough to cover himself.

All right...never heard the term "scat rap" before tbh...
Because it's just a term some Thug fans use to describe his voice being an instrument. that's the unique thing about Thug. His songs are vocal performances that seem fluid yet razor sharp.
In one song he'll have hella adlibs, he'll sing for 3 bars in a verse, he'll shout the opening six bars, he'll flow the last 3 and he'll flow and sing a few more. He'll just then flat out rap a 6 bar hook. He'll do a whining type of sing. It feels improvised yet polished. He does the thing of making the words forcefully fit (sometimes you won't even understand) into whatever he's trying to do vocally. But he's trying to do new things vocally a lot of the time.
Check out the vocal performances on these songs.. from the hooks, to the adlibs, the way he performs the verses and how they switch up all of the time
- he's doing like 6-7 things vocally on this track
- he does some type of Wolf screech for a full 10 seconds, weird slow hook, tight flows in the verses
- this song swells and builds up and down again and again.
YT is doing very interesting things imo. The lyrical content isn't interesting but music has many more layers than that.
