Young Thug Drops the "Barter 6" and DJ Akademiks Reviews It. 

Young Thug is a NEW, FRESH and CONSISTENT artist which means we know what to expect from him. So if you find yourself not liking this album then you probably weren't a fan of his to begin with.

This album banged tho.....thugger is talented asf

Barter 6 is a great mixtape. Constantly hating is a crazy track! u trippin bruh

8 years later and this mixtape is a classic FREE YOUNG THUG

YOU SLEEPIN ON YOUNG DOLPH!?!? -Preach -Why not -Money calling -high class street music 1-5 mixtapes? Look him up. One of the best in Memphis and the South.

Hey dj akademik I'm supporting you all the way from puerto rico

8 years later and this album was a classic album. example why you need to always keep nuetral grounds

Ak's old voice has me dead

Young Thug is the greatest alive!!

Thug and Future both been droppin so many heat this year just thought of how thugs kept up

I ain't getting that crap. Chief keef and y.thug should make a song together and have birdman sandusky talking shit at the end and make a video where they all jump off a building together holding hands . Rap is garbage now. Dj, im sorry but your getting in the music industry, you have a better chance making money being an A&R for country music or pop music. Honestly young thug should not make albums but do hooks for other artist. Shoot Dmx, snoop, and Em were on drugs and gave a Fire albums but young thugs is silly to me, he might have a cool singing rap flow but so does blue ivy. Later for that dude.

"Ketchup, Hotsauce, and Birdman." Lmao Im done!

Best songs are Constantly Hating, With That, Can't Tell, Dream, Check and Numbers

yall still buying into these fake beefs to sell records in 2015? This was all planned out

let me get this straight... we living in an era where it's ok to pay for mixtapes???

Barter 6 could have 100 club bangers on it and 10 number one hits and i still wouldn't be caught dead listening to Young Thug. Period. I don't even need to hear the album.

It...was actually pretty good. I'm in shock.

Barter 6 is one of the best mixtape ever

Do young thug even realize Birdman dont give 3 shits about him either? Look how he did his "son" and errybody that ever rock with him.. Birdman is the new Puff Daddy

This mixtape is hard bruh

how do you not like constantly hating?? bozo. dome is the cream. thugs verse on cant tell is the cream of the cropppppp what are you on.

I think most people had a negative perception and closed mind when they listened to this including DJ Akademiks This is one of the best cohesive projects put out this year!!!

Had to come back see now this tape dropped like fine wine

Thought the album was going to be trash but was impressed. He did better than I expected. 3.6/5 that halftime track is almost better than a lil wayne track. Decent album almost said I would buy it

"His car... which is a spider apparently...?" Shit had me dying with what these niggas compare their shit to

damn those gang signs make me think bout naruto 😂😂😂

I'm white and I can safely say that this channel is the ultimate black people vocabulary.

Dj i feel you on that but you gotta take a little time to listen some of the song in the album to feel it bro. I dont think its bad at all. Rate 4/5

Dj akademiks, i disagree witg most if ur review. Thisbis hisbbest mixtape. Laid back and catchy. Constantly hating is fire. Dream is hot, od is fire. All the songs u said are wack/ok are fire.

coming back years later letting the album grow, you were so wrong, especially about the first track. wonder what you would say these days

Yo akademiks u should listen to young dolph... he's nice. All he talk about is trapping but he's nice

We on the same page bro. This album surprisingly not bad, my fav tracks are "With That" Half Time" and "Just Might Be" and I kinda FW Dream. Id give it a 3/5

watching this you were so wrong years later 😂

I gave it a 8.5 outta 10. I like it. He sound like Wayne on a lot of tracks. He sound like Wayne when Wayne was still on lean..

I didn't even listen and I know for a fact it's wack as fuck

On "With That" there is someone else featured on that track and it sounds like DK or either MPA Duke whose featured on "Dome"

Naw Imma stick to listening to my Ludaversal and To Pimp a Butterfly. #fuckcarter6

dj akademiks i will say a 4.2 because he gave album/mixtape a diverse cause if u think about he gave both rap and melody together with something to listen to while drivng and walking to school or chilling n having some fun 4.2 overall

Lol...you lost me, when you said Drake's album was a 10 during his review!

D.J Akademiks U should start doing album reviews on other rappers I think U make valid points an I would like to hear your perspective on other releases cause U don't agree just to agree wit them because of there status or other ppl opinions ✌️

BEST COMMENT ON U TUBE / THIS VIDEO: "Barter 6 could have 100 club bangers on it and 10 number one hits and i still wouldn't be caught dead listening to Young Thug. Period. I don't even need to hear the album." Amen brother. It bothers me akademiks even reviews this trash.. but to each his own. i try not to judge someone on the music they like. Im white and bang nothing but keefy and them GLO Boys ;)

I just listened to the whole Album. He did a pretty good job can't lie. His style is refreshing. Wayne is boring and steady.

Lil duke on with that😭😭

Straight to the recycle bin 🚮

Oooh, man. I disagree so hard with your opinion on the first track. That shit goes so hard to me I love it. But I agree, Birdman sucks. I thought the second track was dope, but I thought every track was dope so it didn't stand out that hard for me. Can't Tell is so fucking hard to me, also. I love everyone's verse on it. I love Check a whole bunch. Dig Never Had It, though Young Dolph was cool on there and I don't know who he is either but I dug his verse, just not as much as Thugger. Dream I don't agree with saying it's lacklaster, but I do agree that it's one of the lesser lesser tracks on this album (again, this is coming from the guy who seriously loved every track on here) I agree with what you said about Dome, I fucking love Dome. Dome has to be in my top four on the album AT LEAST. Holy shit, Halftime is aaalmost my favorite track but I don't know for sure. I love Halftime, that shit is insaaaane. Basically agree with you on Amazing, it's good it doesn't misstep or anything but it's not a favorite on the album. I can't believe you didn't shout out the hook on Knocked Off, at least the hook. I love Thug's verse on Knocked Off too but holy shit that hook is my favorite on the album. Od is a really interesting track, I agree with your "vibe" view on it. If you can get in the mood of it then it's one of the better ones. Numbers is one of the more forgettable tracks, I agree, I could see a feature on there but I still like it. I don't know what more you were looking for in the outro, I thought Just Might Be was so hard and closed the tape off so well. I for sure agree that this album could of used at least one feature for Rich Homie Quan, and Numbers would of been perfect for that. I totally disagree with you view on the beats on this album. I thought these beats were dope as hell and I have no complaints about any of them. It's not even like I was some hardcore Young Thug fan and listened to this and am now spewing my love for it, I wrote him off as just some terrible rapper who is popular until I decided to give him a chance. I heard Rich Gang The Tour Part 1 tape before this (once) and I've heard this tape a few times. But holy shit, I love this shit. It's so fun. I seriously love every track. This is coming from a guy who listens to wicked intricate underground shit. But damn, I don't mind if it's Pop if it's good ass Pop. And what Young Thugger Thugger seems to make is fucking amazing pop trap.

It's lame to review an album on its release date. Lame that you don't get the first track too.

Where is RHQ on this haha

Some of the beats go hard tho Thug just needs a ghost rider and a English tutor

Why does he wear fingernail polish ? I have nothing against the homosexual community but young Thug has to be aware that these kids are paying attention and some glorifies his songs which is not bad because that's his job , to touch the public . But he's a rapper not a punk rocker . I'm sorry but I'm tired of these rappers looking like they picked their clothes straight out of their girlfriend or lil sisters closets . And how can you say you idolize someone but disrespect them , that's hoe shit . I truly believe his career will come and go . The tight clothes is a fab just the same as the sport Jersey era and I can't wait for it to come and go but big up's to you Akademiks I appreciate the quality of news you report I think you're a very intelligent dude which I give props , especially to see a young brother doing his thing on the level you do it on . My son use to want to be like me but now everything is about dj Akademiks ..lol which I commend because you are a great positive example for our youth . Thanks again for continuing to break the cycle and statistics that this country has set out for us.

Just wait for that slime season

lol OD is my favorite track, but mostly for the beat and the melody. He sounds so much like Lil Wayne on most of these songs that he might as well had called it Carter 6

Honestly ion fw nothing in this album. In my own opinion the only thing good about this album is some of the beats. And in no way, shape, or form can young thug fw lil wayne.

Hey, I dunno why this guy has a voice but God bless him but uhh "Way too much Birdman" He's on two tracks.....mic drop.....

Yung thug songs are starting to sound all alike also no subject matter no topics just rambling no depth too it does it have replay value maybe 3 times in a year not all the way through btw

In all seriousness as someone who listens to and judge things with a non bias approach. Even though I wasn't a fan of the beef and naming his album after Wayne. I gave this album a fair shot. And I was very disappointed. It just felt like we all got set up. It was boring and too melodic. If anything he got exposed as more of a hook guy than an actual rapper. There were no "ima stoners" or "life styles" type of quality tracks. Every thing felt like throw aways. I give this album a 3.5 out of 5. There were some ok good moments but nothing worth talking about. A very basic album no where near "tha Carter" standards, which I didn't expect. And no where even near young thug standards! Smh.

3.9/5...certified flames #Barter6

Constantly hating was probably one of the only good birdman verses thoe... am I the only one who feels that way?

When you have to open up a album review with "I'm not an Hip Hop elitist" you know the artist is garbo.

How you not know Young Dolph? He made Preach, from Memphis. Come on.

Terrible review in hindsight

Carter 6 was aiiight. I was kinda underwhelmed. Dissappointed there was only 13 tracks and 3 of them we already heard before, but the album will be on repeat for at least a couple of weeks. Hopefully it keeps me good until Meek or Shy Glizzy drop

Half time is the best soung !! Youngthug did pretty good without Rich homie cant lie

DJ Akademiks ay man. from time to time i check your videos and i usually don't agree with what you say but i def value your opinion and you valid points. with that being sad i thought u would troll all over this review but man you def gave did this review justice. an unbiased opinion. respect

I've just listened to this album ,,it's fuckin terrible,absolute rubbish

DJ Akademiks i only like 2 songs on the barter 6 and dats Halftime and Check

You better have bought it with all the views you're getting talking about Thugga on most of your videos. I know your most popular videos are about young thug.

Sounds like a goat getting killed 😂😂

I'm down with the Check, Just might be, and knocked off

Young Dolph bruh look his shit up. You'll find shit you like from him

First not lacking

Dj akademic this mixtape really sucked I've heard better from the rap version of prince

fucks wit it 8/10

Birdman stays in the wrong lane....Da fuq is he doing!!

listened to the album and track I'm feeling is Can't tell.. Straight Fire..

Its fire this nigga might be weird bt his shit is fire and that is all that matters

Young Thugs skill levels be like: Barter: 6 Charisma: 10 Strength: 2 Agility: 7 Gayness: 99

Hands down my favorite type of videos your boy uploads. Keeps it 100% and real reviewing and breaking down albums & mix tapes that drop.

Yay todays my birthday wish me a happy one guys and I already had thugs barter songs before they were released some suck ass some ight

0/10 horrible album -BobBobob900

Nothin but respect for u bra..u keep it 100 all the time!!..It's not one day I'm not on ur channel..respect

lmao!! "a goat getting choked out" 😂

This might be is fucking FIREEEEEER!!!! I give it a 8.5 out of 10 I wanted 2 give it a 9 but im sure that its missing something I just dont know what it is

I heard it and had to delete it only 2 songs I liked

Bottom line, this was an average ass Young Thug joint but it definitely WAS NOT WORTHY OF BEING TITLED "THE CARTER 6" , if you go after a major artist like lil Wayne please put some fucking effoet in it like nothing you ever done & that simply didn't happen.

I was wrong .. I can admit that ✌🏼

It would be an honor if you can review my solo project..itll drop on May third. Am a big fan of your work..wether negative or positive i would appreciate your feed back..lmk. i haven't posted anything on RU-vid. Msg me back if your willing

😂😂😂 lmao this nigga said ganstalicious

(In my Dave Chappell Rick James Voice) I wish i had 4 thumbs to give this album 4 thumbs down👎👎👎👎 . Ugh, and i was a victim of believing the HYPE 😭😭😭

GOD this mixtape was so horrible....i liked 2 songs on this and that was checks and i just might and i just might droped WAY before he even thought about droping a mixtape called Barter 6.

Birdman is not a condiment. That's why I like my food plain

Whoever produced the track with T.I., ABOUT THE MONEY. He needs to contact them ASAP!... Or he's finished! Point blank Period. He HAS to live up to that. Niggas want to rap but for some reason I feel like they cant express themselves properly because they only can rap about this drug addict/dealer BAFOONERY! Think about if you HAD to sit around and figure how im gonna make doing dumb shit cool. And you end up with artist dropping this shit about nothing. That T.I shit was FIRE tho!

listened to it str8 garbage

Ok he say he not gay but why did he feel he had to say so?... Does this mean he gonna dress manly and use his pistol to hold up his pants?... Does this mean he now gonna over compensate and start getting in trouble with the law?... Is he gonna accidentally release a sex tape?... *IF* this album/mixtape flops does this mean that his "career" also takes a plunge? *FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON THE SANDUSKY FILES* Wait... A Hooters vest while Birdman dancing shirtless in the back. *SMH*

Boosie consistently does really good work

I ain't really interested in listening to this dudes full album. Just way too much sideways shit going on. He say he's supposed to be here in New Orleans tonight tho. If he got the guts to do that then he'll gain my respect if he makes it out unscathed. Lol

"Young thug is the Lebron coming out of high school of rap" OK, I'm REALLY fucking done now...This guy is or is TRYING to get a Rich Gang chain of his own. He's definitely on payroll...That's the only way to explain it. You can't be a journalist and be biased, or not a good one at least.

Dj akademics you late if you dont no young dolph. High class gangsta musik do your research brah he did a joint tape with gucci just like thugga wakka and every other thats hot now that gucci put on

Nah, young thug had MPA Duke on "with that". He's just uncredited.

I disagree that being featured on a diss track makes you part of the beef. Conversely, look at Stomp (Young Buck ft. T.I, Ludacris). They were beefing but also on the same track. Same goes for Young Jeezy and Rick Ross.

I swear if I could pick his unreleased songs and Put it as a album it wouldn't disappoint
