“Florida Water” – This is a lullaby, straight up. They lost in the first round but that’s hardly important and obviously Jay and Thug aren’t losing at anything here so like I said, this is a great starting point for a great tape. Now for a bit of context, the 2014 Blazers were quite a team, as they won their division and made it to the playoffs.

Those of you who caught that JR Smith reference made above might recognize this as the logo of the basketball team, the Portland Trail Blazers, except this version of the logo has been made much cooler for obvious reasons. Off top, here’s the cover, which as you can see is an instant victory for the group. But be advised: everything on it is a gem, and you should proceed as follows (download it immediately). What we’re gonna do here is run through some of the songs that stood out on the tape. The pairing of Thug and Bloody Jay, who is a terrific rapper in his own right, put out this tape and shut down the day it was released due to web traffic, or so they say. In 2014, Young Thug was winning there’s no other way to say it (consult the image at the top of the article) and Black Portland consequently became one of the Greatest Hip-Hop Groups of All Time. So let’s look at Black Portland’s “Black Portland”, a release I would say is a “classic” and yes “Black Portland” is actually a Young Thug and Bloody Jay project but I’m sure it will all be alright. In preparation for SS3, I thought it would be fun to look back at a former Thugger release that many of us remember fondly (in actuality this is one of the 3 things I have on my iTunes right now sooooo). Thankfully, Young Thug throws songs and mixtapes up like JR Smith throws up 3 pointers and this is all just to say that the man has crazy amounts of music. (This statement is actually not representative of my life at this time, my laptop crashed and I have like 3 things on my iTunes right now so this is where I’m at currently). OR it would be, if we didn’t already have such a readily available source of Jeffrey Williams’ music on our laptops, phones, and archives. 5th) and all we have to do is make it until then, which is easier said than done. As always when we find ourselves awaiting a new soon-to-be-released Young Thug album/mixtape/symphony, we are living in a historic time.
