At just a few days shy of 23 years old, Young Thug already has an impressive 12 mixtapes under his belt, though it totally makes sense if one is to believe a recent claim he made during an interview with Dazed magazine.
"I think as I go," the Atlanta emcee responded when asked how he goes about writing songs. "I can't remember 16 bars. Unless you write it, you can't. I just do it bar for bar. I did a song in eight minutes. I thought everybody could write songs that fast. But working with a lot of them, they don't. Wayne and Drake, it takes them so long to do a song. I understand why, because they want it to be perfect. But I think I can do a perfect song in ten minutes. I did 'Danny Glover' in eight minutes. 'Stoner' took me almost an hour."
"Danny Glover" went on to get remixes from Nicki Minaj and Waka Flocka, while Wale hopped on a remix for "Stoner." Pretty impressive for an hour's worth of songwriting.
