YOUNG THUG vs FUTURE

like, the amount of times i've pressed play on DS2 only intending to cherrypick my favs and ended up listening to the album all the way through...

Otm

obligatory lol @ "by a million miles" - I know you were fishing for it.

the idea that 'no compadre' and 'trap gentleman' sound a lot alike is ridiculous

on 56N you just want to skip to the highlights (of which the highest is "no compadre" by a million miles)

"No Compadre" is definitely an outlier of the Southside tracks. i'm not saying that every song on 56 Nights sounds like each other, i'm saying that in the context of the tape coming out right when "Commas" was blowing up, it sounds like fan service. "you like sirens? have we got sirens for you!"

Those are some sirens though.

diminishing returns imo.

just did some closer b2b listening at lunch. got through all of 56 Nights and the first bit of Beast Mode and there's just no contest - I much prefer Zaytoven's production to Southside's. It manages to keep itself understated but there's a lot more stuff going on, it remains melodic, moody and uplifting at the same time; p much everything I like about Just Like Bruddas.

Yeah, Zaytoven is the best. That doesn't really take anything away from 56 Nights though.

The short runtime and the fact there are a few standout tracks (March Madness especially) stop it being boring, but ultimately I just found 56 Nights a relatively dry listen.

march madness, trap niggas, and title track are the pretty much all i need from 56 nights at this point, the rest is pretty good but the sirens are very grating

dog latin very much otm re zay too

ide tracks. i'm not saying that every song on 56 Nights sounds like each other, i'm saying that in the context of the tape coming out right when "Commas" was blowing up, it sounds like fan service. "you like sirens? have we got sirens for you!"

It's "fan service" to make a sonically cohesive mixtape now?

Lots of records used the "commas" siren on tons of mixtapes, it was a blueprint like a smaller scale version of a mustard beat

just no one ever say "fan service" again plz

are producers besides Southside biting the sirens already? so far i've only just heard him use it a bunch of times. "Trap Nas" and Meek's "Check" and a few other tracks are pretty undeniable but i really wish he'd just let it be the signature of "Commas," it's not really something i wanna hear on a hundred different songs.

Beast Mode is sonically cohesive, 56 Nights is monochromatic is how i break it down

"dry" and "monochromatic" is why I like 56 Nights the best, tbh. though maybe the words i'd choose would be "bleak" and "concise"

also...

yes! please!

ok ok gosh

give em that lip service, some dude

if you can't service your fans then who you gonna serve?

serve the base?

the fanbase that is.

what's the consensus on future's OP10

I voted Future but after hearing "Future Swag" I think it's Jeff.

i was thinking about this earlier and the answer is: Thugger for the summer, Future for the winter.

how long did you think about it

while waiting for traffic lights

!!!

nice

this shit bangs

yup!

oh yeah

Yeah this is good

When do you guys think this was recorded? Feels like an earlier version of Thug

Whatever it is, killed before is the best thug song of the year, besides maybe do u love me

patek water - maaaaaaaate

both intensely overrated at this point but the first few songs on this are pretty tyte

the contrast of their flows is p funny; future just workmanlike chugging through every permutation of the same 3 flows and words for drugs then thugger sounding like he's perpetually making every line up on the spot

good descrip

it's alright, kinda throwaway, nice to have yt to take the pressure off relentless futurism, disappointing to have so many half-finished-sounding beats though

it must get boring to just rap about pills and drinking and fucking so much

try living it man. what a bummer

i like this mostly because these are two guys i like but find wearisome over the course of a whole album and it's nice to have them share the load

future's voice sounds really rough on a couple of tracks, i hope that dude is ok

This bangs imo. Does get a little tired toward the end but you can only keep up that kind of intensity for so long on a record. I like the sonic consistency throughout, like a single ever-evolving song.

fwiw I like the "half-finished beats" feel of it in combination with Thug's vocal style, has a loose, almost going off the rails feel to it.

HEY WHAT KINDA WATER'S THAT IT'S PATEK WATER

Patek Water is so good. Some lovely trickly rhythms going on in there

I JUST BOUGHT MY MOMS A CAR IT FELT AMAZIN!

i wish i had a dollar for every time i've heard some weird word or phrase in a hip hop song and googled it and then it turned out to be some kinda ultra-high end super expensive luxury brand of some sort. i might be able to afford a patek watch!
