idk some of those beats are pretty memorable to me and the sound uniquely fits the subject matter, plus with it only being 9 songs it feels more like a specific palette as opposed to "i only have one idea"

does the tape even follow the 'concept' at all outside the opening skit and the title track? it seems like the other songs could've been on any tape
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:35 (eight years ago) link
Looks like Trap Niggas is on DS2. Good choice.
Beast Mode is just as much an in-the-zone tape as 56 Nights imo - it's just more diverse and colorful. Feels like both Future and Zay are spreading their wings a little and are enjoying each other's company.

echoing all the beast mode/zaytoven love. for me, it's beast > 56 nights > monster
the first time i listened to 56 nights, future did the "coolest dj in the world" escomoe tag himself and for whatever reason i could imagine him saying "...whatever the fuck that means" right after. and on the very next song, he did. the food i was eating started tasting really sour.

It's obviously a concept album in the sense that the recession is

Like an underlying theme /mood animated by certain irl events

the second song in 'throw away' goes into some kind of weird metal machine glitch tunes thing and it's cool
