56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

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.

http://i.imgur.com/tR6JOUQ.jpg

burrito is better tbh

if steve shelley don't trust you i'm gon' shoot you

i actually have never had the burrito but i did years ago somehow acquire a evol burritos tshirt which i kid you not i just realized after i started writing this post im actually wearing right now, also i met a guy who works for them doing food science a lil while ago, regardless im extremely positive sonic youth are better than any frozen burrito

http://i.imgur.com/aZiQC3o.jpg

nice!

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

those r prob p good as far as frozen burritos go but i cant say im a fan of the genre

i am fan of sonic youth tho they own

i like sonic youth prob as much as i like a really good fresh burrito

We need a new poll to decide this

clean edit from beats one, sadly

evol is possibly the best SY album

loool is that really a sample from "street spirit"? xp

i don't think so? but tbf i haven't listened to street spirit or radiohead in general in quite some time

*listens to street spirit* ok yeah it very well might be

does sorta seem in line with sad future

future "al sharpton" is better than any of the records on purple reign imo

really liking the production on evol

i like evol more than ds2

future "al sharpton" is better than any of the records on purple reign imo

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

yea I'm getting kind of worn out on the metro boomin / 808 mafia sound

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

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.

He needs another Zaytoven project

that would be cool too, although the light sprinkles of Zaytoven on DS2 and Purple Reign work well

on first listen these all have like the same beat :(

he does some real cool stuff with his flows on this but i dunno, even for a recent future record it felt a bit grim & nihilistic for me. something like "xanny family" feels almost obligatory to me? like the hook doesn't even really work.

of the real rappy ones at the beginning i think i like "lil haiti baby" the best but "lie to me" & "low life" are my favs on this i think if only bcuz he sort of steps out of this real narrow frame of mind for a second

i think i prefer some stuff on purple reign like "inside the mattress" "drippin" and "perkys calling" to most of this album, and the idea that this is better than DS2 seems off on its face to me

steps out of this real narrow frame of mind for a second

speaking more musically than spiritually here i guess

"inside the mattress" is great true

I´m expecting a song by song face-off from the evol > ds2 crüe.

lol ok

it's resonating with me pretty heavily bc it's paced like 56 nights, extremely focused at its start and gently expanding about halfway through ("seven rings" -> "fly shit only")

plus "maybach" bangs
