Aug 22, 2018Slime Language captures one of the most boundless rappers of his era operating near his peak. That it has a bill of goods to sell does little to diminish its accomplishments.

Aug 23, 2018Slime Language might be seen as insubstantial in the larger scheme of Thug's career, and perhaps that's true.

Aug 22, 2018At the end of the day, Slime Language suffers from being predictable, which is the last thing you’d ever want or expect from a Young Thug-affiliated project.
