Young Thug & Metro Boomin Squash Ugly Beef, Drop "Hercules"
All week, Atlanta weirdo-rapper Young Thug and Metro Boomin--ATL producer to the weirdo-rapper stars--have been beefing hard. It's a lot to describe and kind of pointless now that it's over and has resulted in the hard-hitting "Hercules", but the talking points—worth going over since these two even have a superteam name, Metro Thuggin—were:
–The 22-year-old Metro subtweeted rappers trying to flood the game with as many projects as Future, the king of modern rap who isn't Drake or Kendrick, the man who's dropped five full-length collections in the last year.
–The 24-year-old Thug, who's dropped three tapes since April (September's Slime Season and Halloween's Slime Season 2 came six weeks apart), took offense, talked shit. Choice tweets: "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" and "uma beat the shit out u fool..." Just last night he tweeted, "EVERYBODY SAY FUCK @metroboomin !!!!" with two laughing-so-hard-I'm-crying emojis. It linked to an Instagram video that's since been deleted.
Then they...dropped "Hercules"?
