56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

^^^

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.

ah right

6 - Inside the Mattress

So gdamn good.

I get on the stage and I rap 'til I pass out
Hit another city and another city, I'm just groovin'
I was tryna tell you I was losin'
I was gon' tell you I'm improvin'

I'm personally responsible for 80% of the soundcloud plays of this song at this point.

DS2 has some problems, it's solid but I can think of Metro Boomin productions I like better than his stuff on there, including "Jumpman" which is a great beat w crap rapping. So I'm fine with him releasing more stuff even if it's similar template, not like it's completely identical

what is it with Future album/mixtapes being added then subtracted then added again with incomplete track list or changed Artist headings on Spotify . it's so random

yeah it sucks

dont use spotify

I relistened to all the mixtapes after Purple Reign dropped and have thoughts

Monster: The highlights on here are great, second half of "Throw Away" (I know you could say it's not complete without the first half but it's a bit of a dirge IMO,) "Hardly," "Codeine Crazy." "After That" is a banger and reminds me of when I thought Wayne was rebounding until he put out three worthless projects last year. The first two songs are terrible though, "Radical" in particular. Actually this is the one I didn't finish all the way through originally so it was cool going back and finding a handful of dope songs.

Beast Mode: I like this almost all the way through but mainly on a solid, not-great level. "No Basic" is a cut above the rest though I think.

56 Nights: I get why this is seen as the best one and the siren drops are just a repeating producer tag, the beats are pretty varied within its template. But idk, to me it's kinda dreary besides "March Madness." In a certain mood I could maybe see feeling this more.

It's not so much that I think he's better/worse at one or another sound, but I remember playing Pluto a bunch when it dropped and while it's got it's flaws I miss some of the brighter sound it had overall. It's not necessary, plenty of the best songs from last year go for a bleak feel and succeed, but when they don't it's a little drab/monotonous.
