I think it's got ~5 jams and a bunch of filler personally
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 18 January 2016 01:23 (eight years ago) link
This is sounding really awesome, even filler tracks from Future right now seem vital.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 18 January 2016 11:21 (eight years ago) link
only interested if it has some prince samples
― StillAdvance, Monday, 18 January 2016 11:42 (eight years ago) link
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
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:17 (eight years ago) link
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
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:33 (eight years ago) link
um u can also download it for free from any mixtape site? why you need it on spotify?
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:34 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:39 (eight years ago) link
ah ok
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:40 (eight years ago) link
listening so far it is pretty good but i am feeling a little futured out right now
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:42 (eight years ago) link
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
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 16:44 (eight years ago) link
also there's no esco on this new one
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 17:18 (eight years ago) link
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
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 17:24 (eight years ago) link
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.

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.

I'm personally responsible for 80% of the soundcloud plays of this song at this point.
― Thee Macallan 18 Year, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 23:28 (eight years ago) link
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
― nova, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 06:19 (eight years ago) link
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
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 29 January 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link
yeah it sucks

dont use spotify
― lag∞n, Friday, 29 January 2016 17:03 (eight years ago) link
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.

ftr, I'm not a sonic youth fan per se but certainly have nothing against them, frozen burritos can be pretty all right though

i dunno how much i really dig "Al Sharpton" but Future/Mike Will is such a potent combination that i'm kinda annoyed that he keeps pushing back Ape Shit to release increasingly samey Metro Boomin/808 Mafia-heavy projects
― some dude, Saturday, 6 February 2016 14:35 (eight years ago) link
yea I'm getting kind of worn out on the metro boomin / 808 mafia sound
― marcos, Saturday, 6 February 2016 15:38 (eight years ago) link
agreed with deej that this is better than ds2. really early to tell but this is so great it may be my favorite recent future record
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 February 2016 16:21 (eight years ago) link
is it better than ds2 because there's a "bangbang" adlib on lil haiti kid? if not that, then what?
I'd say this is easily his best since ds 2 but i also need some new colors soon.
