“Young Thugga Mane La Flare was recorded last summer [sum 2013] before Gucci Mane went off to jail yet again. The tape exploits the contrast between the two rappers' contrasting styles: Thug deploys every trick in his arsenal—squawking ad-libs, sung hooks, a multitude of vocal inflections—while Gucci Mane makes a more grounded foil.” - Pitchfork
