Lets discuss Thugger's irrelevance and his place as solely an internet presence with no actual fanbase, hence his album sales and cancelled tour. Another ATL export who will disappear the minute something newer and louder is introduced from that market.
I haven't listened to a lot of new stuff lately. I like Apollo Brown's new album but at this point it's clear he'll never develop as a producer. His sample chops are almost always the exact same, as are his drums. I'm a fan so the tracks still knock to me, but the repetitive nature cannot be denied. It's far more comical than 9th Wonder's corny ass Fruity Loops drums. At least 9th has introduced some new stuff to his sound...
