Then suddenly “Pacifier,” released just three months later, had Thug sounding a bit less like Mixtape Weezy or James Joyce and a lot more like Maroon 5. There was also an exquisite trolling in his initial marketing Thug’s debut commercial mixtape, Barter 6, was at once a clickbait stunt -both teasing and honoring the rapper’s hero, Lil Wayne-and a literary masterpiece. Since 2011, Thug had been mesmerizing his earliest fans-and perplexing his detractors-with euphoric absurdities in his early music (look no further than the wild and indecipherable lyrics on “Lifestyle”). The song presented a challenging question: Would Thug once again reinvent radio, as he and Rich Homie Quan did with “Lifestyle” a year earlier, or would radio ultimately reinvent Young Thug? In July 2015, Young Thug released “Pacifier,” a curious and now largely forgotten single, produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, for the rapper’s scrapped debut album, Hy!£UN35 (translation: “Hi-Tunes”).
