** Gunna: Either he’s an untalented hack who lives in the shadow of Thugger, or a decent addition to the Trap genre.

* MemeticBadass: Lots of people have frequent call him a god-like figure in hip-hop who shits on the likes of other lyrical rappers like Music/TupacShakur, Music/{{Eminem}}, Music/JCole, and other musicians such as Music/JohnLennon and the entire Music/TheBeatles.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorAppeal: Besides loving stereotypical rap topic such as money, bitches, drugs, and expensive clothing brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton, he also like wearing flamboyant and feminine-looking clothes.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: You gotta admit, a lot of his songs are actually pretty damn catchy. Special mention goes to most of his songs produced by London On Da Track, Turbo, and Wheezy (no relation to Music/LilWayne).
* BrokenBase: Was initially this to TrapMusic and hip-hop in general. He is either a game-changer in hip-hop or a complete joke who's a disgrace to the genre.
* FountainOfMemes: Seriously, everything he does or says is a source of memes.
* GenrePopularizer: To the quote-on-quote mumble rap trend alongside Future.
* GrowingTheBeard: He went from just a typical Atlanta-based rapper with a generic, Music/LilWayne-inspired delivery to one of the most unique and eccentric rappers in the game around 2014.
* MemeticBadass: Lots of people have frequent call him a god-like figure in hip-hop who shits on the likes of other lyrical rappers like Music/TupacShakur, Music/{{Eminem}}, Music/JCole, and other musicians such as Music/JohnLennon and the entire Music/TheBeatles.
* MemeticMutation:
** I nut on that fish on my sofa... [[labelnote:Explanation]] A lyric on his song "Dome" off the ''Barter 6'' album that is ironically [[ComicallyMissingThePoint considered a very thought provoking lyric.]] [[/labelnote]]
** Thugger > Cole [[labelnote:Explanation]] On sites such as Rap Genius, expect people to claim that Young Thug is a better rapper that J. Cole. [[/labelnote]]
** Aye Fuck Cancer... [[labelnote:Explanation]] The opening lyrics on his song "F Cancer", proving that Thug actually is spreading awareness and putting a end to cancer, while artist such as J. Cole and The Beatles [[InsaneTrollLogic support cancer because they never made a song against cancer]] [[/labelnote]]
** The album cover of ''Jeffery'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] The cover shows Young Thug in a billowing purple dress with a similarly colored straw hat. [[/labelnote]]
** Anytime he raps or sings completely incomprehensible lyrics, such as in "[=RiRi=]" and all of his verses in "Lifestyle".
* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Lot of stuff such as his [[AmbiguouslyGay sexual orientation]], [[WholesomeCrossdresser his questionable fashion choices]], and his unorthodox and unconventional rapping style receive nothing but a lot of backlash in the rap community, especially towards "old-heads" who want old-school rappers in the vein of [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac]] and [[Music/TheNotoriousBig Biggie]] to return to the mainstream. However, lots of casual listeners and even critic have enjoyed his music.
* OvershadowedByControversy: ''Barter 6'' would have been just been just another Young Thug project have it not been for all the negative press-release drama that the project went to.
* TheScrappy: Out of all of his artists from his label YSL Records, Gunna is this towards non-casual listeners. Besides biting Thug's style too much, he is mostly mocked for his boring-as-hell and uninteresting delivery and for being too similar to the 100 southern trap-rappers clogging the market, and that's including Quality Control-signee Lil Baby.
* SoBadItsGood: A lot of his lyrics are known for being completely nonsensical to the point that it borders on being comedic non-sequiturs.
* VindicatedByHistory: While always well-received by critics, Young Thug's popularity with the general public wasn't this to begin with. Initially, Thug was seen as a weirdo with superficial lyrics and completely unintelligible vocals who was everything wrong with modern day rap music. Now, he is seen as a unique and versatile artist who is one of the most important and influential rappers of the 2010s.
