guess i should restart this thread, but its on a bit of a bum note: future is counter suing ciara and calls her a flop in it http://jezebel.com/future-calls-ciaras-last-album-a-flop-in-counter-suit-1770755327
Wicked is only just now getting official single push despite being played on radio for the last three months Future - WICKED is AVAILABLE NOW for DOWNLOAD and... | Facebook
I have recently become fairly obsessed with Future. Aside from podcasts, he's about the only thing I've listened to in weeks.
Also, anyone have any recs for similar stuff? I particularly enjoy his newer sound (Purple Reign, EVOL) - I guess the production is one of the aspects that really draws me in. (Metro, 808 mafia, Esco, etc...)
Might be into Young Thug, although hes much weirder than Future. If you're into the sexy R&B side of Future, check out Ty Dolla $ign's Free TC album If you like that dark druggy Future, check out Travis Scott's mixtape Days Before Rodeo
I also got super into Future for a while but funny enough, it was DS2 and WATTBA for me, just couldn't get into Purple Reign and Evol as much, tbh they sound a little rushed to me. That said, I totally second the Travis Scott/dark druggy Future comparison. That's what attracts me to Future and I dig Travis' stuff as well
DS2 is great too, don't get me wrong.... and WATTBA is good, but for me personally, lacked something. Thanks for seconding the Travis rec. I heard no so great things about Rodeo, but have heard positive things about Day Before and Owl Pharoah. Will grab those.
ughhhhh i hate travis scott lol. if youre into the production honestly i'd just peep the metro boomin prod discog page on wiki haha.
Travis scott bites on everyone in hip hop but hes got some undeniably good songs I didnt wanna recommend desiigner or any of the other copies of futures sound tho
id honestly listen to panda before literally any travis scott song except maybe 3500 and thats because future is actually on that one and 2 chainz has amazing lines
Travi$ has like two good songs imo he's so annoying. Even his better to decent songs are only good because of the features.
Drugs You Should Try Them is a fantastic song Idk i like most of Days Before Rodeo. Production is awesome and luv the features
Lol I like Drugs You Should Try and songs that feature Thug just so I can hear Thug. But you got the rest pretty much.
This came up on shuffle on my drive to work this morning and reminded me of how much I loved Honest and wish more people did.
more people should recognize pre monster future in general, honestly. endlessly frustrating that pluto is now not even a part of the conversation anymore despite being like THE singular rap debut of the 2010s. like what other rap star dropped their debut in this decade? thank me later has aged like piss, meeks debut was "fine" and basically a glorified mixtape, waka is not really relevant anymore post-flockavelli, LongLiveAsap was a disappointing mess that even Yams didnt like, GKMC is GKMC but hasn't really seeped into the sounds of the genre at all because it was already so classicist in a lot of ways. Wale? J Cole? yeah right. The best counter argument is probably finally rich.
