It's all about branding. Thug just needs another Nicki feature or mixtape with Drake 
young thug... Barter 6 out.

It's kind of hard to separate it when he's calling little boys sexy on Instagram. He doesn't know what going to far is, but then again he can't even give an interview without massa

Yeah, Thug is an absolute troll. Been telling dudes for the longest that there is nothing gay at all about him 
.
He pretty much just turnt up a notch watch Lil B was doing on social media....and combined that attention (negative or positive) with absolute undeniable bangers. B was rocking women's jewlery, blouses, tiny pants & had an album named "I'm Gay". Problem is, he was before his time....and wasn't as consistent. He never broke into the mainstream.
If Thug wasn't as eccentric as he is, he'd be a Kcamp level artist. You combine his raw talent + weirdness + trolling + street ties + androgyny + mystique.....you get an artist that people can't help but pay attention to in some way.

Idk why people think dudes like migos or young thug will sell big units. Won't happen, their music isn't popular to that demographic right now. Future ain't start moving big units until he started messing with the biggest pop star on the planet not named Kanye. These dudes audience is more the street crowd... And them ****** ain't buying no damn album. It still blows my mind how fetty tricked all these white folks to let their kids sing trap queen on YouTube [emoji]128514[/emoji]. That Taylor Swift Co sign is the goat.

point is he's begging for futures so called crowd/fanbase
he's not tailoring his sound or style for the streets
nobody is homophobic and apparently nobody's really buying his music either
I'm ****phobic
and I've said many times I don't mind his music
didn't even call him gay anyway, his actions are just inexcusable

Dudes acting like fam legitimately promoted the "album", dude was calling it a mixtape from the jump.
Them numbers seem shaky to me, if Future rly moved that many units w/o a single, promotion, and no physical copies fam damn near on Cole level
Dudes just sound dumb discussing his sexuality.

Yes. If you ever browse other music forums with a larger population such as KTT you will see that many bigots perceive him as gay and refuse to listen to his music because of it. Hell just look at his IG and you'll see tons of comments calling him gay, f-word, ... His antics piss off a lot of people. Not Thug's fault though, he is who he is and he should be respected as such.
Whether he's really gay or not is irrelevant to me, personally I don't think he is, but the public perception of his antics is definitely hurting his career.
I don't think he'll ever become a mainstream star because his music definitely isn't for everyone but I do believe his fanbase would be bigger if there weren't so many homophobes who refuse to listen to his music because of how they perceive him.
I'm not saying it's the sole reason for low sales, the terrible promotion and project rollout plays a much larger role.

Yall comparing Ocean coming out the closet in a much softer genre vs Thug who maybe gay in a much rougher genre that has a history of being homophobic...how could you think thats gon help Thug? He is who he is. I dont agree or like his antics but as long as he keeps the sus stuff outta his songs then im good

Not only that this is rap, being gay in rap doesn't have a chance to be counterproductive because you'll never get the chance to have a career

They don't have a brand now, that's the point. Notoriety for 15 mins isn't a brand.

I know a white girl from the shoreline in CT who just posted his pic on IG, guess it was part of her 23rd Birthday. She saw Taylor Swift literally front row over the summer also.
Yea Fetty got the juice. Wonder how much he made money wise just off that track.

Being gay wasn't Jason Collins craft, playing basketball was. He was a journeyman for 11 seasons consecutively. Once he came out he couldn't get a contract for about 5 months. Wouldn't even get invited to work out facilities. Finally got a contract but it's on a 10 day basis. If him coming out minimized his basketball play, that falls under counterproductive.

Hiphop is a different beast when it comes to homosexuality, are you disagreeing with that?

That was a well written post. I agree with most of what you're saying and you're right this is a sign of things to come.
However I don't believe this is the first time you heard about hiphop being homophobic.
