Young Thug Gets Militant In “For My People” (Video)

Young Thug’s latest release, I’m Up, went from being a highly anticipated full-length project (originally called Slime Season 3), to a nine-track project that was as random as it was underwhelming. Granted there were a few bright spots, but for the most part, unless you are a die-hard fan of Young Thug, I’m Up, is not what you hoped for from the often risqué Atlanta rapper.

I did say there were bright spots on the project, right?

One of those bright spots is a song called “For My People”, that sees Thugger Thugger teaming up with frequent collaborator Duke for what is a pretty exciting track, to say the least. Even Pusha T tweeted his approval for the song at one point in time.

With none other than Be El Be behind the lens, Young Thug liberates the brand new visual for “For My People” and it’s as militant as ever. While it is highly doubtful that Young Thug will cause the stir Beyoncé did at the Super Bowl, he definitely tries as the clip takes place in an overcast backdrop, with everyone dressed in pseudo-Black Panther get-ups and marching in the streets with guns drawn. I guess when you utter lines like, “Farrakhan me, I’m a leader”, you kinda have to shoot a video that sticks to code.

Check out “For My People”, below and grab a copy of I’m Up (or just wait for SS3, which is supposed to be still coming out).
