“No homo but my blunt look like a d**k” utters Young Thug on “Friend of Scotty” the latest leaked cut from the New Atlanta weirdo. And frankly this may be the strangest, most bizarre track from Thugger Thugger we’ve heard yet. Which I know, in retrospect, may seem like a stretch in a catalog consisting of “Miss U,” “Picacho,” “Lifestyle,” and “Ain’t Trippin'” to name just a few. But seriously, “Friend of Scotty” has the aforementioned blunt to penis analogy as well as talk of pizza pies and their subsequent toppings. Anyway, listen for yourself after the jump.
