    Slime 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.

    Slime Language might be seen as insubstantial in the larger scheme of Thug's career, and perhaps that's true. But this is just a refinement rather than an envelope-pushing statement, a reminder that Thug is great at making this kind of music even when he's not rousing the rabble over his flamboyant fashion or his abstract starchild gibberish.

    After five or six songs, it has a sonic and thematic sameness to it that manages to work solely because of the glimmering moments when he allows other voices to sparkle and the high-quality production.

    A project that Thug uses the same flows very often, but still makes creative songs enlisting great features from many different artists.

    Slime langueage is an interesting pick. Young Thug wants to and is trying to go beyond his capabilities, but he doesn't succeed.

    But it's    Slime langueage is an interesting pick. Young Thug wants to and is trying to go beyond his capabilities, but he doesn't succeed.

    But it's actually listenable to, in some extent. The cheerfulness of the album, makes it a lot of fun to listen to, but of course there's still the case of some blend and generic beats.

    Tsunami is a skippable song, but the record gains my interest in the song "U ain't slime enough" featuring Karlae, which is his girlfriend, and she was actually quite good, that is a good song, Gain Clout isn't bad, and quite short which i can appreciate, but from there i goes in to generic mode, picking up with It's a slime, which has a nice feature from Lil Uzi Vert. Scoliosis for some reason is my least favorite of the bunch, i can't even point it out, but i just don't like it. The song January 1st, is a song that grew on me after my third listen.

    The record doesn't transcend anything in the trap genre, but it's solid as far as Young Thug is concerned

    It has a few great high points, but it suffers from Generic Trap Syndrome greatly.
