    "I don't care about people understanding me because I didn't do it for people to understand me. I did it for the weird ones."

      I think he's being pretty honest about his flaws and him being weird. He even says that all his hottest songs out aren't even really him its something he had to work on. Other rappers would claim it comes to them easily. He comes out real genuine to me bruh bruh.

      Gu Wop ikr! this man openly acknowledges the fact that he's weird af. Which in fact might mean he's not weird irl. because generally ppl who are legit weird irl tend to be blissfully unaware. If thug is aware, then that means he's doing it on purpose....idk

      not really, he says he wants to feel like he can walk in a room full of people while he raps about catching bodies if they look bad at him or speak bad about him, killing families sons and daughters.

    Jeffery, you are a guardian angel. The words you spoke in the video bought me to tears. No one really understand when you know who you are but alter it in a way to satisfy reality. Furthermore, being your true self will always set you free. Jeffrey thank you for being the voice I prayed that would always come and save me. I can not wait until I have the pleasure to meet you. Thank you I will never have to feel alone again. I have officially found a true, true friend that really understand my struggles. This movement will move beyond music!! I will stand behind you 100% see you soon.

    Young thug is ushering in a new phase of abstract expressionism for rap, as opposed to the social realism that permeates through the genre.
