Pretty in Periwinkle
Young Thug released the cover art to his new album, titled My Name Is Jeffrey, yesterday and the streets are talking. Young Thug is the controversial rapper who dons women's clothing because he likes the slimmer fit and comfortability of it. This isn't the first time that he has been seen in feminine attire but his time he went all out in a ruffled periwinkle dress and cone shaped hat. He is serving Mortal Kombat realness and I'm loving the look. The pure artistry of this album cover lets you know that Young Thug gives 0 fucks about what anyone has to say about him.
His style has people questioning rap and the music industry and the feminization of black men. I wish people would just let people live. The clothing that he chooses to wear has nothing to do with a breakdown of the black man. Get off the gas with that analysis. Seeing Young Thug dressed in an evening gown won't convert a straight man into homosexuality, unless he is secretly hiding that part of him in the first place. It's apparent to me that he is an artist who's having fun with things that he likes. He likes womens clothing. Yes. He knows that it will piss off some people. Of course. And he lives his life the way that most of us should live......without fear. One thing is for sure. By releasing the artwork to the album he is gaining more attention. Visually you are drawn in because you wanna know why does this man have on a pretty purple dress. Ultimately it will make you want to see, what type of music will a guy like this put out. Mission Accomplished Young Thug!
