The YSL boss took a few seconds to ruminate, before giving an answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmmm. A song called \u2018Road Rage,\u2019\u201d Thug said at the 10:00 mark, before he was asked to name his overall favorite cut. \u201cMy favorite song is probably \u2018Stupid\/Asking\u2019\u00a0or \u2018Drive Slow\u2019 (featuring Stick).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former track was co-produced by his frequent collaborator Metro Boomin;\u00a0while the latter, which served as <em>Punk\u2019<\/em>s opener, featured production by Charlie Handsome.<\/p>\n<p>As far as which tracks are best suited for the turn-up playlist?

The whole album is purified. It\u2019s just real,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cThe whole album is just focused on one point. The hard part about this shit is making 12, 14, 16 songs about one thing, without crossing up and saying the same thing,That is why this shit takes time. This shit has been going on for two years now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the full Hot 97 interview up top.
