56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

wld say nu future accurately represents the experience of depression, which is much more than just feeling sorry for oneself which is what ppl seems to be meaning here by "sad", including real sadness

obvs depression is not the totally of his expression tho it does very much inform his work imo

'numbness' is the word.

thats part of it too def

watched a bunch of videos (most of which new to me) for recent future jams today and was v struck by how he was just clean, handsome, charismatic, wearing fun hats

he is very handsome and cool and has nice clothes

ya j crunch was not unwrong in bringing the notion of cool into it

i only like cool things

(wait lol uh i just mean he was right, too lit off xmas drinks to look clevur sry)

im not sure what were talking abt tbh

2 bang is 2 transmit emotion therefore it's not unrelated

bangs is emotional but distant (read = cool) and clever

i like how he makes videos for almost all his songs its fun

i dont change my username on here but if one of you doesnt grab "wearing fun hat" i think you are missing a v strong opportunity

shit

"wearing fun hats"

id belatedly rank the mixtapes as monster (the beats on this are mighty, fuck up some commas is obv immense, tho i could do without the indian storeowner skit, for a second i thought i was back in 1995), 56 nights (it has no compadre, trap niggas, and march madness, but not 100% sold on the rest), then beast mode (mainly as it sounds pretty thin sonically).

I serve the base I serve the base

i like to think of that tune actually featuring a dirty sprite getting hype in the background

early sighting

When I first saw the title I thought the central conceit was Future as politicuan giving the audience-electorate who voted him in what thry wanted

well nayvadius certainly got angry on twitter today

right before Monster dropped, this dude promised me that Future had recorded a cover of "Don't Worry Be Happy"

it's still not up what the hell future

i don't know why anyone even bothers to announce mixtapes. is it really better to hype people an hour ahead of time (and risk not dropping it on schedule and pissing everyone off) vs. just surprising them?

just went up a little while ago

8 hours behind schedule is a p reasonable delay in the scheme of things, I mean, I've been on codeine and things do in fact move slow

this is sounding really good to me though I'm no Future scholar. "Inside the Mattress," "No Charge" and "Future Purple Reign" are all great, "Run Up" would be if the DJ drops weren't so obtrusive

burger king tweet about future mixtapes in 2016

it's very good imo, has a pretty consistent sound even with the ensemble of different producers, which is cool

I think it's got ~5 jams and a bunch of filler personally

This is sounding really awesome, even filler tracks from Future right now seem vital.

only interested if it has some prince samples

Title track + "Percocet" from DS2 deluxe are two sadfuture songs I fully endorse

I like about half of this, the two string-heavy Metro beats in particular are cool. He's getting to have a ton of producer tags too huh

Purple Reign is out on iTunes & the streaming services now, no dj.

no spotify US tho, at least that i can find

No, looks like Spotify is lagging behind. It's up on google play music and apple music though. Even Tidal has it, lol-

hah DAMMIT

um u can also download it for free from any mixtape site? why you need it on spotify?

so i don't have to open another app and i can load in on my 2016 hip hop lists. I've already listened to it but its just more convenient for me on spotify.

ah ok

listening so far it is pretty good but i am feeling a little futured out right now

thats how i was w him last year too. didn't dive into the M, BM, 56N triplet until 56 nights came out. didn't fully appreciate them until DS2 came out

also there's no esco on this new one

listening so far it is pretty good but i am feeling a little futured out right now

or the other way round - i'm not futured out enough of DS2 etc to want a new batch that's mostly in the same vein

It is pretty good and he hasn't lost it at all but it's not on par with the Monster-Beast Mode-56 Nights-DS2 run. I wish he'd switch up his production a bit more these days and get some bouncier and upbeat, more colorful stuff, or at the very least do some more of the flooding with love for the streets type tracks: my savages, just like bruddas, trap n**gas, etc.

also there's no esco on this new one

wait is having no dj drops a bad thing, who cares

No no no, the esco drops are pretty annoying. The new version doesn't have them. A good thing.
