Young Thug: ‘I Would Never Buy Jay Z’s CD'

The Rich Gang rapper Young Thug sat down with GQ to discuss about his plans to be the next Bill Gates, revealing “Jeff The Rapper” as a potential name change and saying that he wouldn’t buy a Jay Z CD because Hov’s “too old,”.

GQ: Are you a music lifer?
Young Thug: Yeah, I’ma be here forever. I don’t want to rap forever. But I want to be rich forever.

Why not rap forever?
I don’t want to be 50 years old and rapping, man. I’m pretty sure nobody wants to do that. I’m pretty sure Jay Z don’t wanna rap right now.

Why is it such a young man’s game?
If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain’t gonna be doing what he’s doing.

What is the next step for you?
I hope to be like Bill Gates, bro. With all the money in the world. Like Wayne, someday I want one of those kind of careers. Or Michael Jackson.

At what age do you drop the “Young” from your name?
I don’t think I’m gonna drop it, ’cause I want to be forever young. But if I had to…

What would you change it to?
My little niece always calls me Jeff the Rapper, so I might change it to that.

the sad part is that im pretty sure what hes saying isnt that far off from the way a lot of younger people think.

rap fans are the worst.

I hate rap music, only genre that constantly insults the listener (common practice in rap songs, "im better than you" "I got fill in the blank and you dont") and has an age limit. Rap music is WOAT.

King Lee · February 2015

Lol he didn't think this through did he...he wants to be like his daddy Birdman and auntie Wayne.

lmao...dude's signed to Birdman and still said he wants to be rich forever...

Birdman's the type of ? to take his boytoy to Chuck-e-Cheese and be like "ey pleighboi...i'mma get you those tokens but the machine ran out...holla at the bushes and see if you can find anything"

GetoBoy · February 2015

So a ? in a rap group with birdman is saying he can't listen to a jay z album becuz of his age when they're both the same age!!!???? Then said he wants all the money and a career like Wayne and put him in the same sentence as MJ and Bill Gates!!!???? How is it even possible to be THIS dumb???
