Today in my blog I want to talk about Metro Boomin’s career and the feud between young thug and metro boomin. So basically Metro Boomin’s real name is Leland Wayne and he also goes by Metro. He is also from Atlanta and he is becoming one of the most known producers and songwriters in the music business. He has only been producing music for around 5 years and is his fame is evident through his work with Future, Migos, Young Thug, Travis Scott, and Drake. Metro’s career started out in Atlanta making beats for OJ Da Juiceman was his first big break but later he got gigs with Gucci mane and future so his popularity has risen in the past couple of years. So basically the feud between Metro Boomin and Young Thug started from twitter. Metro Boomin maybe a new artist on the rap scene but, he has grown up listening to older rap artist like Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne. Back in the day when these rappers where the best in the game they prided themselves by releasing quality music. Metros main argument that all the rappers these days constantly putting out endless streams of mixtapes. To be truthful I do believe that what Metro is saying because lately it’s like artist have been focusing on just putting out many songs as they could and the quality of the songs are usually really bad with just a few songs that are great hits. This is actually cheap because artist do not have to really put any effort into the songs because just by sheer chance they would release a song that would be a banger (or a song that creates a lot of money and has a good reputation). I feel this tweet was directed to Young Thug because lately he has put out so much music lately and by chance some of the songs where a hit and then Young Thug became a hit artist. To some extent I feel that Metro Boomin is a hypocrite because he is been riding the wave of these artist. I feel that all of the newest music has had metro on it and he has definitely profited from all of these new songs coming out.  Of course after the tweet young Thug responded saying “Hey Metro Booming who you referring to???” But Metro responded saying “you go to be crazy if you think I sub tweeted Young Thug.” So he basically resolved the issue. I think Metro did Subtweet Young Thug but, realized that if he loses young thug as a client he would lose a lot of revenue so he gave into young thug. Nevertheless to resolve the beef that they stated Metro and Young Thug released a sing titled Hercules on November 23, 2015. This act in itself may be seen like a hypocritical to Metro because he was upset that rappers where putting out all of these singles and mixtapes instead of just making an album. But because Metro and Young Thug have squashed the beef between the two it is safe to say that they will both have each other as a client for a long time in the future.
