    Slime Season 3 is short but sweet, and doesn't over stay its welcome.

    Slime Season 3 makes a fairly good case for the hip hop that shows a blatant disregard for lyrical dexterity (or coherency, for that matter). It's almost laughable how quickly Young Thug gained popularity given how his persona seems more like a caricature, but it's hard to resist the charisma that he exudes on his mixtapes. It took less than two years for him to get scooped up by GucciSlime Season 3 makes a fairly good case for the hip hop that shows a blatant disregard for lyrical dexterity (or coherency, for that matter). It's almost laughable how quickly Young Thug gained popularity given how his persona seems more like a caricature, but it's hard to resist the charisma that he exudes on his mixtapes. It took less than two years for him to get scooped up by Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad Records. Soon after, he found himself on more best of year-end lists than you could shake a stick at. His singular fascination with his own success and wealth will most likely always disgruntle self-described hip hop purists. It's certainly of no matter to Thug; here, Young Thug croons, raps, and auto-tunes his way through a focused eight tracks. The short run-time of this project seems to help the poignancy of the tracks, with no song overstaying its welcome in the thirty minutes present. "With Them" boasts one of the most memorable beats of year thus far while Young Thug delivers his hard-to-define flow that somehow will roll around in your head long after the mixtape ends. "Digits" sees Young Thug successfully melding his singing and rapping to an introspective, lush beat.

    In case you haven't heard this yet (he literally states it at the beginning), he has "London on da Track" for four of the songs present. It isn't a coincidence that those are the ones that rank among Thug's career best. He also chooses to handle these four himself, proving that his dynamic vocal tricks can keep things interesting enough while the beats guide him through the twists and turns. And the beats here are as dynamic and multi-faceted as his lyrics are one-dimensional; overall, it shouldn't take away from the enjoyment of the final product. It's head-scratching that his output continues to skirt the line between original and ridiculousness, but perhaps his self-confidence in his artistic direction is what keeps him one step ahead of his listeners. There really isn't any need to mince words here; Slime Season 3 is simply eight vapid bangers that are truly fun to listen to. Lose yourself in the debauchery.    … Expand

    Young Thug is fire on this mixtape, should release Worth It and With Them as his next singles off his mixtape!
    If I could nominated this album for Best Rap Album at the Grammys, I would!

    77/100. Slime Season 3 is my favorite so far. "Digits" and "Memo" are some of the best bangers I can blast. Really fun album and the production is great.

    Young Thug is genius. His cadences and wordplay are unbelievable. His beat selection is always on point. This mixtape is incredible. The most noteworthy tracks are With Them,Digits,Memo,Worth It, Problem, and Tattoos. Young Thug releases songs with unbelievable replay value.

    Impressive evolution from Young Thug. The Slime series and I'm Up delivers an incredible strike from the Atlanta rapper, proving to be in constant technical growth since his "Barter 6" debut.

    What I love this guy is, he is making non-stop bangers! This 8-track mixtape is perfect, started off with probably the best song on the tape, along with VERY catchy songs. This is what defines SLIME SHI*, a tape full of bangers. Keep it up thugger, you keeping Atlanta alive!

    Might be his most cohesive project to date in his young career. This third installment continues with a similar sound to his Slime Season series, while offering a taste of Young Thug's willingness to experiment with vocals and delivery - as evident on 'Drippin'. Also provides clever/witty bars (similar to his idol Lil Wayne) on tracks like 'With Them' and 'Problem'.

    This isn’t one of the standout tapes in Thug’s ever-expanding discography. But, as always, it signifies development, progression--most of it accessible on "Drippin’".

    Slime Season 3 is as celebratory, emotionally rich, and life-affirming as a good funeral should be but never is. And this isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning of a brand new chapter.

    His delivery is somehow still getting better, and Slime Season 3 succeeds as an exercise in discovering just how elastic syllables are.
