It’s ironic that a rapper named Young Thug—an almost comically unimaginative alias that on its face evokes the laziest stereotypes about rappers and their glorified street mentality, reveling in a heartless world of wanton violence and not much else—would actually be the current hip-hop artist most dedicated to to the…
