Thug was born amongst the masses eliminating any doubt that he wouldn’t be special. The second youngest child of 11 children developed a skill for standing out amongst many, early. Young Thug moved to Jonesboro, an impoverished suburb of Georgia where his lifestyle was engrossed by the crime, drug addiction and violence that surrounded him. It was there that he developed an insatiable appetite to succeed his current situation. After discovering and acknowledging his talent and creativity for music in 2010, Thug started a new hustle that would soon mature as one of the most promising music careers in the South. He also founded the record label YSL ( Young Stoner/Slatt Life) in 2010.
Eyeballing the throne of Hip hop royalty, Young Thug began to create a sound and style that would inevitably place him on top. Young Thug’s catchy verses and raw lyrical talent distinguished noise from art, clearly being the latter his creations are the best that remain of Southern hip hop. He is the embodiment of the evolution of Southern hip-hop. Young Thug is the representative for a generation that doesn't see hip-hop as a hobby but a lifestyle. Keeping true to himself, his art, and his home Young Thug will stand alone as the one true savior of the Southern movement.
2. Young Thug aka The Demon Child is hardcore/horrorcore rapper/beatmaker from Central France. Often collaborated with Lil Prod. Also he made 2 albums under the alias Da Mystic Terror, in these 2 albums he changed his voice to make it sounds like it's an other person rapping.

Who's On Top
Young Thug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Thugga, Thugga baby
Got my whole crew behind me
I want you to say, say
RIP to my big dawgs lets pray
Me falling off any time soon? No way
Im ballin' for a lifetime and a day
Let them goons get on your head, yea they from Los Angeles
Anything I ask them to do, do believe they handle it
I got one question just answer it
Who's on top?
And I'm sitting back thinking of a master plan
Trap going crazy, we smoking shit from Amsterdam
I been doing this for a very long time now
The only option is climbing up, ain't no falling down
And I been a Young Thug, and I'mma get wicked bout that paper
Momma always told me to shit on all haters
(?) you can call 'em glaciers
Comin' to get they cash, this ain't the movie takers
See me and (?), see me and (?), I could shoot the work
I don't need no shooter with me cause I'm shooting first
I'm such a boss, somewhere eating a healthy meal
Runnin' in and out the marina, we in Beverly Hills
MPA, what up? (Rich Gang)
It's Thugga, Thugga baby
Got my whole crew behind me
I want you to say, say
RIP to my big dawgs lets pray
Me falling off any time soon? No way
Im ballin' for a lifetime and a day
And I get money, that shit run in my family
Let them goons get on your head, yea they from Los Angeles
Anything I ask them to do, do believe they handle it
I got one question just answer it
Who's on top?
And I'm sitting back thinking of a master plan
Trap going crazy, we smoking shit from Amsterdam
I been doing this for a very long time now
The only option is climbing up, ain't no falling down
And I been a Young Thug, and I'mma get wicked bout that paper
Momma always told me to shit on all haters

See me and (?), see me and (?), I could shoot the work
I don't need no shooter with me cause I'm shooting first
I'm such a boss, somewhere eating a healthy meal
Runnin' in and out the marina, we in Beverly Hills
They got me thinkin' like Einstein with the number
I got a money vision, all I see is commas
I want the sleep dreaming, going down the money tunnel
Dreams come to reality, don't you wake me for nothin'
I'm livin' out my dream, everyday countin' money
Rental car traffic traffickin', movin' strong packages
I stay strapped so the kid move rapidly
Ain't shit sweet, let the iron fill his cavity
Goons on go, and they kill for the passionate
Bitch I got a money high, I think I lost gravity
And it ain't shit you can tell me
Money runnin' out the ass, you can smell me
