Meet Young Thug, Hip-Hop's Next Style Icon

Young Thug, whose creativity and uniqueness belies his generic nomenclature, is both the current young gun in rap, and someone with whom you should get intimately familiar with musically and sartorially.

Nicki Minaj remixing his heat rock "Danny Glover," and being flown out to hang with Cash Money is proof of his talent/potential. His music distinguishes itself by incorporating wild and varying cadences, rests, quirky ad libs and seemingly inimitable melodies. Similarly, Thugger Thugger uses some of those same principles when crafting a killer alphet. Above all else, be unique. Fuck a h8ing ass h8r, bruh. If you think your alphet looks hot, then your alphet is hot. Point blank. Straight up.

"I don’t need a stylist…Young thugs do not need stylists," Young Thug proclaimed in the behind the scenes video for his FADER cover shoot. Truer words have never been spoken. True fashion comes from the heart (and, I guess, maybe synthetic fibers). To inspire all the Four Pins young thugs out there, we've compiled a gallery of Young Thug's most stylish moments.

Justin Roberson feels just like Fabo. You can follow him on Twitter here.

Belts are stupid. Ditch the belt. Let your pants sag and give the ladies a little peak. Show off an inch of dick neck and prepare yourself for the inevitable puss-tsunami.

In the words of Instagram user moneycrew_joe, "That jacket stupid dumb." We totally agree. Disrespectful amounts of swag being exhibited here.

Young Thug was on ripped jeans a year before Kanye was. Also, avoid folding your money. That’s for #poors. Stuff your stacks directly into your waistband. It's, like, the ultimate flex buckle.

Remember how you made fun of those kids in middle school rocking the endangered species T-shirts? Well, Young Thug has such an overabundance of swag that not only can he wear them, but make you wish you had one too and never made fun of those kids in middle school rocking the endangered species T-shirts.

Trukfit. It's more than a brand. It's a lifestyle.

Not even a V-Neck. This is a straight up oval neckline. Shit is 2 futuristic. Full on Burberry print pants for any h8rz still breathing.

All black leather is a power alphet. But, having two lady servants hold your pants up with chains is otherworldly levels of swag. Human props gonna be so hot in 2k14.

These bandana pants are gorgeous on their own. Pair them up with the black/orange hoodie with matching toboggan and, my God, this is a tough look. Bottom half is saying "Aye cuh," while the top half is ready to blend in amongst the carnage when the Garfield vs. Heathcliff Civil War pops off. Diversity.

This hoodie is hella tough. Shit is tropical, but still makes you want to burnout in a car for a couple laps and get showered with milk. The dopest part of this ensemble is the bandana codpiece. When everyone is wearing codpieces and reppin' their set this year remember where you saw it first: Young Thug's fruitful loins.

This is the shirt that got everybody up in arms about Thugger being gay. Spoiler alert: He’s not. A bunch of homophobe h8rz took to the Internet to ejaculate, "Oh my! It’s a dress!" What a bunch of fuccbois who cried wolf. Cam'ron wore pink. Rock stars in the '80s wore makeup and women's clothes. Who gives a shit? First off, this shirt looks billowy and cozy. Secondly, where can I buy one? It was clear the h8rz didn’t see Thugger wearing this shirt on his IG before the photoshoot. Look how goddamned skrong it looks with the layering. Slumped out jungle cat swag. #FashionBros.

Young Thug looks fly as hell next to Birdman, who looks irredeemably forlorn. Branding is key. If you don't already have a go-to pose for when you get your picture taken, you are slacking. Thug uses the two-finger gun pose, which also alludes to the ladies that you can finger them if they would like. Just say the word.
