56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

but seriously, fuck yeah. also:

FUTURE/FREEBANDZ ‏@1future 2 hours ago
NO FEATURES

on a less important note, they have the zaytoven instrumentals for beast mode on spotify, which is making for some pretty good at-work listening rn

no features is the new features

I was preparin the feast. U walked away from the table too soon

you served too many appetizers

^^^^^fake news

(ok, fiiiiiiine, purple reign and esco-terrestrial were p meh, especially the latter, but everything else was good to great)

Yeah this is really hitting the spot rn, Zoom is great.

It sounds kinda cool but I'm not quite convinced. I need a bit more ballads and heartbreak and future in my future.

cool opinion from three years ago

Well, I prefer the Future from three years ago to this guy. It was fun and exciting up until DS2 but from then on it's mostly been diminishing returns.

yes... it has been noted...

scrape it out the barrel when he review it ~skrrt skrrt skrrt skrrt~

take off the first two, 'poppin tags', and poss 'super trapper', and this would be front 2 back mesmerising imo

it's a fine art and (since michael man fell off) he honing it

I was super excited on the first listen. But then the emptiness set in.

Still hanging on for Beast Mode 2, though.

I'm very happy for your enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong.

lol the first three and "poppin tags" are my favourites plus "scrape". there are some cool moments on it but it's more treading circles than honing to me, it's neither elevation nor advancement and the emotional impact is diminished after the 84392892147th mixtape/album in the same vein

xxp how did u ever engage w/ him without embracing the emptiness

even his greatest romances held their depth in ephemerality not timelessness

there was always emptiness but it had a counterweight in a certain optimism, the desire for revelation and light. That dynamic was what defined him and which made embracing the emptiness - as part of the truth but not the whole truth about human existence - appealing in the first place.

lol @ grab on that pussy like donald

on first listen i detect a lil of the bouncy early mixtape future on this

This seems fine idk I feel like at a certain pt I'm reviewing a beat tape

It picks up around "Draco" though

yeah draco beat got me perked

This seems fine idk

yeah this is where I'm at, nothing special, nothing awful

other than Draco on the first half it seems like he's done better versions of each track already.

Back half is sounding good tho

there are hints of emotional future in the second half, particularly "when i was broke"

back half def picks up.... my EP is like:

Draco, Mask Off, Outta Time, Might As Well (fav track), Feds Did a Sweep, and although I haven't decided if i like it or not yet "i'm so groovy" is cool

or interesting, i should say

POA is cool but that flow is overfamiliar to me or something

is it the key to the streets flow?

the skits are really annoying

cool

haha music criticism grappling w/ its greatest nemesis in real time

that looks like i'm implying my being above it but (obviously) that is not the case

it's just striking how often the word has come up now and earlier itt (cf johnny fever observation upthread)

the hot take is that the simultaneously notional and v concrete agency of nebulous ~cool~ is the ultimate ilm blind spot and og 1st wave foundational poptimism was probably tacitly self-defined itself against it

craig jenkins tweeted his ep from the tape, same as mine except 'when i was broke' in place of 'mask off' (he might be right)

bet jams had like a hour+ of future vids last night that me and my gf had on in the background and she woke tday saying she had dreams w/ me and future in it

cross post to what does my gfs fream mean
