Future - Honest (2014)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqozhaThPQ0

Note: The untitled track after "Sleep (Part II): Carry Stress in the Jaw" is often titled "The Secret Song" (the working title of the song) or "Spy" (the title that appears on various concert setlists). It was originally recorded without bassist Trevor Dunn's input or knowledge; although, shortly before its release, Dunn managed to find it and added a vocal track. Though never explicitly stated, it is believed (by Dunn) that the drums were played by McKinnon, and the bass guitar by Patton.[4]

MAKE MONEY WITH CASIIIIINO!

didn't know that about remy ma and "lean back"! or this trend generally. any other examples?

the weird fixation on future/"drunk in love" always seemed off to me because obviously the most future-esque melody on beyoncé is "jealous"

if you keep me your promise, i'm keeping mine~~~~

the inclusion of "honest" by itself is going to mark this as a must-hear album
such an incredible single
it's like the pinnacle of everything he's about/done. i haven't felt any of his songs like that, except maybe Jealous, My and First Class Flights. Move That Dope has grown on me, but not monumentally

Can this leak already?

i hope this is good but i'm def starting to feel apprehension about it being a Carter III/Thr33 Ringz type situation where it can only be half as good as what it might've been if he hadn't given a couple dozen dope songs to other people since his last album.

This is a electro chaabi remix of the track https://soundcloud.com/cairoliberationfront/future-honest-cairo

Future said via Facebook that he's "making a BIG announcement today!!! #Honest," hopefully a Frank Ocean-esque early release, but probably more tour dates

Wasn't his Kanye collab "I Won" supposed to have dropped a few days back?

Looks like tour dates, good news that he's finally headlining though.

He was okay at best when opening for Drake (at least when compared to Miguel and the headliner, who just puts on a better show than Future, #honest), so I'm still contemplating whether to see him headline when he comes to town.

hearing "I Won" and the title track is still the only dope track to come outta this so far imo

I think my shipper tendencies for Future/Ciara and Kimye are clouding my judgment because I actually really like this track (and I seem to be the only one).

The rapping is weak as hell but I'm swooning too hard for it to distract me.

"Sh!t" is aight but yeah, pretty much

this album is good, definitely feels weirdly minor though

weirdly minor compared to where it seemed like he could go with this album like 4 or 5 months ago, not weirdly minor considering everything that has happened w/ the singles since

is the Andre 3K verse cool on-and-off beat post-'06 Andre or bad ramble-flow Andre

My greatest fear is that this will be Triple F Life pt deux. Could you please kill that thought for me, J0rdan?

no, it's not that

my major hold up is that it feels like it could reasonably be a mixtape

That actually sounds nice to me, but I like small-picture rap albums. I'm tiring of albums that are big linear narratives (where half the story is told through skits and voiceovers). Just give me some good tracks, as little filler as possible and nothing that pulls me out of the album and I'm totally happy

that's a strawman, though. only kendrick and YG have really gone for that sort of album.

recently at least

there are ways to make an artistic "leap" with an album w/o heralding it as some cinematic experience... take care and deeper than rap are good recent examples. even something like tha carter II, as well.

ysi?

watermark, breh

only kendrick and YG have really gone for that sort of album.

I overstated the prevalence of single-narrative albums, but a lot of young rappers are going for this kind of message storytelling on a smaller scale right now. There's a lot of it in most of the recent TDE releases, Schoolboy Q and Isaiah Rashah, and in Chance the Rapper and Childish Gambino and all those guys. Lots of those acts are doing this stuff well, obviously, but right now a lot of acts seem invested in making "important" rap albums when making a really good one is an equally admirable feat imo

i don't particularly like the schoolboy album to me but i don't see how that one fits in... chance either

i mean they're long and i guess ambitious in a sense but i'd rather that than 12 songs personally

the andre song is good but... weird. not aesthetically, it just comes from a weird place. andre is good on the hook at least. i'm not sure anyone turned off by his recent verses is gonna find much to turn around on.

yeah I'm having difficulty recalling a verse from him after 2007 that I've dug. Well "Royal Flush" and the C4 interlude were cool actually

but the good thing is that it doesn't have the feel of ***NEW ANDRE 3000*** verse where he rambles for like 90 seconds straight

The crux of the Schoolboy album is a two-song message track about drug abuse, "Prescription/Oxymoron," clearly modeled after "Good Kid"/"Maad City." It's like he condensed the Danny Brown album into 7 minutes. Feels like a lot of post-GKMC albums really lean hard on a thesis.

snippets have totally deflated my anticipation for this album. Literally sounds like 2 dope songs on the whole thing, possibly 3 because I can't really tell what the Drake feature's like from the clip. Dude's debut has some stuff that's a step below but I can pretty much play the whole thing bar "Tony Montana"

man

i haven't listened to the snippets but i can guarantee you there is more than 2 dope songs

there's 2 wack songs

fuck a snippet

lol may be picky. Initial impression is a bunch of hollow attempted bangers though. My iTunes-sample predicting abilities of whether I'll like the full song are usually pretty accurate, but 1:30's a good amount to go on

other than title track "I Be U" sounds purdy

This album is awesome uoeno

Streaming now: http://www.complex.com/music/2014/04/future-honest-stream

Wait, this stream doesn't have "Benz Friends".

<3

Wow this is phenomenal

I love ballad-mode Future so much.

So "Benz Friends" and "Special" are on the album, just not on this stream, correct? Or did the tracklist get shuffled?

it seems like they're on the album but being held back from this stream

help a dummy out: the repeating female vocals in the first track, is that a sample and if so, what is it? or no?

"Never Satisfied:" watch out "Beach Is Better," there's a way doper pointlessly short Mike Will Made-It track in town

That fade out in "Never Satisfied" has to be stream-only, right? It's so distracting

on the stream they sent me (which had "special" -- which is amazing -- and "benz friends") "never satisfied" also fades out before the 2 min mark

they did play a full version of that track at a listening thing though \(o_O)/

with the title "Color drop in water, photographed in motion. Ink swirling in water. Cloud of silky ink in water isolated on white background. Colorful ink in water, ink drop."

lol

amazing flow

'I just fucked your bitch ink in water, ink drop'

fully love this album now, which i didn't really expect even when i liked it initially

"i served the base" is sooooooo good to dance to

ds2 is very good
