Young Thug's Cover Story Interview for XXL Magazine's Fall 2016 Issue 

"I don't care about people understanding me because I didn't do it for people to understand me. I did it for the weird ones." He's fucking real af.

Bruh who is this honest about themselves on an interview, props to my nigga thug.

this is probly the realest shit thug ever said about himself

Most unique person in the game hands down

This is the most I've ever heard young thug talk, he's way better at interviews now.

his dreads go hard asf

did the interviewer ever ask a question?? 🤔😂 bruh just went off for like 20 mins

You can tell he has a lot to say he just needs to relax.

he acts honest and happy. I like it

"Im 25, I'm half of 50." -Thugga 2016

The same people who dont fuck with young thug cuz of the dresses is the same people who say andre 3000 is a legend

Hate all u want but thugs a good dude and takes care of his family. U gotta respeck that

Thug is a amazing human being I don't see how people hate on him

i have never heard young thug talk for this long. wow

Thugger be like prince

The realest rapper man people see him as gay and stuff but really just being judged for being who he is as a person “JEFFERY” like he said he don't want people to see him differently just because he changed his name to young thug and he don't want nobody to be afraid of him he still jeffery this one of chillest/coolest rappers man

If a bunch of this dude songs wasn't leaked he'd be on top right now because goddam they flames

What's crazy is wop was locked up while the Slime Season series dropped and he basically missed thugs rise to stardom. Wop went to jail but he instilled his work ethic in thug

"...I just know how to rap" -Thugger 2K16

thugger is rare af. I feel like being a caucasian nerd myelf he would still appreciate me as a fan.

Hes the modern day young thug

this man is smart... he basically transitioned to young thug throughout the rap game. now that young thug is hot worldwide, its time for another transition. Jeffery has a trick up his sleeve 💯

6:35 "dat guy quan"💀💀💀

tbh young thug is 1 of my favorite artists in the game right now i really think he's taken this game 2 a new level

yall can say he's wheres a drees/gay or whatever. the nigga is real with his💯

Im not gonna lie, that story is cool and super interesting, No reason why i should be hating on Thug tbh

Jeffery, you are a guardian angel. The words you spoke in the video bought me to tears. No one really understand when you know who you are but alter it in a way to satisfy reality. Furthermore, being your true self will always set you free. Jeffrey thank you for being the voice I prayed that would always come and save me. I can not wait until I have the pleasure to meet you. Thank you I will never have to feel alone again. I have officially found a true, true friend that really understand my struggles. This movement will move beyond music!! I will stand behind you 100% see you soon.

legend

He's dead ass a Powerful man y'all gotta stop sleeping lol💯

I can relate to him cuz I also had two "identities" one was an adaptation for survival. The other is my true self

"I know I got it" - Jeffery 2016

Young thug is ushering in a new phase of abstract expressionism for rap, as opposed to the social realism that permeates through the genre. The people who hate on thugga are the same people who look at Jackson Pollock paintings and say, "Anyone can do that!"

I really feel what he was talking about when he was saying he raps about something and it comes to fruition. That's life imitating art.

How could anyone in there right mind dislike this video 🤦🏾‍♂️

solid 75% chance him and quan used to date on the low

I miss the old thug, thug with the piercings and gold teeth, He was at his prime when he dropped SS1 SS2 Barter6 and the Rich Gang album.

I don't usually do this but if Jehovah's Witnesses knocked at my door and wanted to talk to me about our lord and saviour Young Thug I would gladly listen.

Speak Things Into Existence

Thug is one of my favorite rappers.. so fuck the haters and keep providing fire music bro.

the blue Louis Vuitton jacket dope

he's so honest, much love thugggg

one of the best interviews, thank you Jeff

this is the first young thug video, that isnt flooded with negative comments

Thugger baby!!

Play this one in court 😂

Who rember when this nigga dropped an a 100 song mixtape? That shit shit changed my life

literally the G.O.A.T

thug is the realist be rockn with thug since 2012

This the normalest convo I've ever seen of this dude.

I love this guy, man. Had the opportunity to go to his viewing of GET OUT at the Grove in LA. after the movie he was shaking hands & taking pictures with everybody that went. He was super nice to everybody. I'm from Las Vegas so on my way back home that night I just blasted his discography and sang at the top of my lungs.

Sometimes I wish RU-vid hadn't even bothered with making the comment section. If you're not a fan, why are you even here to begin with? For the attention, or reactions from people that are real fans?

that bomber clean af

No matter where someone's from or what they've been through you can always respect someone who's honest with themselves.

does anyone else notice the crooked ass glasses

brilliant interview. thanks.

Whats misunderstood isnt meant to be explained

Thug understand the law of attraction

Young thug and a$ap rocky are the only 100% raw rappers I have ever seen.

This is why he is my fav I have been an fan since day 1 standing on the front line because its so many more layers to him then we allow our eyes to see he is that GUY and he never once gave af !!! RIDING WITH THUG UNTIL THE WORLD GOES!!! SUCCESS LOOKS GREAT ON YOU THUGGGG.

Young Thug he the goat!!!!!I love how he talks,this dawg so real.I love his fashion line.He takes care of his family wid lots passion.He ahead of time.He rapper ahead of time.his talk weighs gold gold.⛓⛓♨️♨️

hes so humble..

incredible interview

Love Young Thug. Could listen to him talk all day! #freeyoungthug !!!

not gonna lie. i was a bit of a thugger hater when he first popped up. in my opinion, he's grown a lot and proved himself in many different ways. gotta give props.

Omg I love him 😍😍😍😍😍😍

love you young Thug

I really liked the interview, he one of my favorite artists. Love his music. Much love.

my favorite interview by him by far ever

Sensational

Hes talking about manifestation whens he talking about the things in his music coming true, if your a rapper say all the things you want you can manifest it try it out

Big ups too ya bro! I happy for you and the family! You made a complete 360 from 2012! I'm proud you guys from Jonesboro rd!

First coherent thing I've ever seen from thug

That's the Law Of attraction!! You literally can think anything you want into existence. If you believe it and know it can and will happen then it will😁😁😁 sounds simple af but it's how powerful our minds are once we understand how to control it

Whenever he try to make generic music it go platinum cause people get it... when he make his type of music people not gone get it til a few years later

his honesty makes him more of an idol

Hell yeah Thug inspires me the most and is the only one that does to let me put my comfort some and rock some crazy shit I don’t usually rock

so different,, keep on killin thug

young thug has changed so much since he first came out! his appearance, sound everything, like in a good way

When he started talking about taking his shoes off while driving xD

He speaking the truth

gooooat! 🐐🐐

Wow a interview where young thug can actually talk and express his emotions

I love all his music

Thug getting real money 💯

HE SPOKE A LOT OF SENSE

Greatest interview to this date Thug is a genius

I ain't never seen thug talk this much. my dude comin out his shell to be come great. Can't wait to cop some gear

He is the goat and always will be

I respect anything he says, he is the goat

"I dont do it for people that don't understand me" Thug fuckin real. Favorite rapper and it aint even close

Revisiting this since Thugger dropped his new album - he a genius!

I literally don't know who Young Thug is, but I know who is Jefferey and I respect Jefferey.

Dat boy said Deep Deep Deep relationship with RHQ. Damn that's too deep.

Iduno why but when he said Jeffery all I could think of is 21 jump street “hi my name is Jeff” 😂😂

this is so dope!

Jeffery is so dope man his music is my favorite!!!

Lol. He is too adorable.

you simply cannot say you don;t like or love Young Thug after the end of this video. You would be able to tell he is a true genius. I'm sure he can do gold with any type of rap. Every hall of famer would be proud if they could get to understand him properly.

Yes Rhonni you're doing a great job on Thugs hair proud of u!!!

Best Friend goes so hard
