Ninja" is the provocative opener to Young Thug's fourth album, Uy Scuti, setting the tone for a 20-song LP that marks Thug's return following his release from prison in October 2024. The first voice you hear isn't Young Thug's but that of the prosecutor from his YSL Records racketeering trial, solemnly warning the judge that Thug was "the most dangerous of the 28" YSL members arrested. Thug is flexing his reputation as portrayed by the authorities, treating the courtroom drama as a badge of honor and a confirmation of his powerful, feared status. From there, Thugger dances across Southside's hard-hitting cinematic beat, flexing about his extravagant lifestyle and asserting his status as "King Slime." The track culminates in a closing interlude where Young Thug takes a rather unorthodox approach to dissing his opponents. Rather than relying on the usual "-a" ending of the n-word, he leans into the harsher "-er" variant, weaponizing it as a way to sound sharper, more aggressive. It left critics arguing about whether it was audacious, reckless, or both. During a livestream with Adin Ross, Thugger explained that only Black people should utter that slur, and that non-Black fans must say "ninja," turning the term into a pointed punchline that sparked intense debate among fans and critics alike. "Ninja" isn't the first time Thug has taken language for a joyride. This is, after all, the man who once compared his sound to "a lifestyle" ("Lifestyle"), and who turned "Hot" into a marching-band anthem. In "Ninja," he's reminding listeners that words, like beats, are his to bend, stretch, and detonate.
