56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

march madness is the standout song from all this but i played it too much and it's the only song on 56 nights not produced by southside

xpost i'm just bein honest

ur just being onions

i'm truly part of the futurehive because i love 'honest' too

i think trap niggas might be my fav of the bunch i appreciate the magnanimity of it but idk there r a lot of good ones

i like p much every future release except like two mixtapes and honest

p dumb opinion

its actually an extremely good smart opinion

def 56 nights, all are extremely good tho obv

these tapes are Future being Future, Honest had some good songs but felt like a strained experiment in hanging out with superstars

somebody dm'd me on twitter n now im 70 weeks deep in her instagram and fearful as hell im gonna accidentally like a pic

Future too real

feel like these tapes are true future minus the honest aspect which was always present and not at all a bad thing until it took over, but the result w/o it is just so focused and minutely detailed its very beautiful

u guys read this http://www.gq.com/story/atlanta-strip-club-magic-city

future renaissance

some good enthusiasm from future in the accompanying doc http://video.gq.com/watch/magic-city-inside-the-atlanta-strip-club-that-runs-hip-hop-uncensored

Her pelvic bone, reversed, formed a flat mesa of flesh so that her vagina and anus pointed directly up at the ceiling. This was Aimee. I would get to know her later.

ha theres def some awful feature story prose in there

doc is better, esco is funny

is that from the GQ story? the line that caught my eye (aside from the single tear anectdote) was the charming:

Occasionally, City Dollars threw some singles at the naked woman standing in front of us, the way an old man might absentmindedly feed some ducks the crust of his sandwich.

these r some good excepts u guys

its p cool how rap despite being a globally commodified industry for decades can still take place in a room somewhere

definitely beast mode, best trap release I heard in a very long time in no small part due to Zaytoven, guy is a bonfide legend.

yeah Beast Mode is by far my favorite of these. Monster has some songs that feel like a chore to me, and 56 Nights overdoes the "Commas" siren.

56 nights is a great project, i wish way more high profile rappers did short, thematically consistent tapes like that

otm

Love them all. Going with Beast Mode.

beast Mode is obv the worst Imo, songs don't cohere all the time, get kind of annoying, no song as good as march madness or trap gentlemen

Voted 56 Nights

That gq piece is awful, act like you've either been to a strip club or heard rap music before

Also...maybe the 8th story in this subject in 3 years

"Peacoat" and "Real Sisters" aren't even my favorite songs on Beast Mode but they disprove the idea that it doesn't have standout songs like the other tapes

it does but neither is as good as the two i mentioned.

bah.

its obvs v cornily written but ill take willfully naive over act like you've either been to a strip club or heard rap music before every time, also it was just interesting because it was about something, attempted to encounter a culture where it is at

ehh i'm ok with fish out of water but there's a whole tradition of these fish out of water pieces that primarily reify existing stereotypes imo

trap niggas >>>>>>>

production on 56 nights is basic.

56 nights is a feeling

the one with "march madness" & "trap n*ggas"?

i like the production on 56 Nights, but Southside is not the most versatile producer and it kinda feels like they go back to the "Commas" well a lot. Zay has a much wider range of styles on Beast Mode.

idk some of those beats are pretty memorable to me and the sound uniquely fits the subject matter, plus with it only being 9 songs it feels more like a specific palette as opposed to "i only have one idea"

does the tape even follow the 'concept' at all outside the opening skit and the title track? it seems like the other songs could've been on any tape

Looks like Trap Niggas is on DS2. Good choice.

Beast Mode is just as much an in-the-zone tape as 56 Nights imo - it's just more diverse and colorful. Feels like both Future and Zay are spreading their wings a little and are enjoying each other's company.

echoing all the beast mode/zaytoven love. for me, it's beast > 56 nights > monster

the first time i listened to 56 nights, future did the "coolest dj in the world" escomoe tag himself and for whatever reason i could imagine him saying "...whatever the fuck that means" right after. and on the very next song, he did. the food i was eating started tasting really sour.

It's obviously a concept album in the sense that the recession is

Like an underlying theme /mood animated by certain irl events

it's weird, i like the *sound* of the opening skit on 56 Nights so much, i never skip it. lagoon otm July 10.

on the other hand, Now sucks, i have decided

yeah no

where's the thread where i complained about how i hate the sound of drinks being opened and consumed in commercials?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I wish I could get a download of the Beast Mode instrumentals. Would love to play them out while DJing. The production on 'Oooooh' is astounding

whole lot of imitation future out there but this 1 is p good imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FeYwBfAvbc

thats even more blatant than desiiigner

ha yeah

money man is my fav future biter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTwW4WU89w

this guy meanwhile is doing a decent YFN Lucci

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdDNHhxl08E

lol money man never broke his cadence one time on that track

ha ive heard that money man song, thought it was future

doesnt quite have futures dress sense

Hardaway is my favorite Derez Deshon track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK_myHu8vmM

young thug started as a wayne biter

that was my favorite version of thugger

unbelievable

I came from nothing 2 is still my favorite of his

that one is where he really comes into his own style imo tho u can still hear the remnants of his biting

have to admit that barter 6 is basically the only thugger i want to hear at this point

ffs the tour pt 1

there are many good and worthy thug releases just my opinion, jeffery is great too

i like all the ones yall mentioned too.

'hardaway' is the hit but it cant help but feel like a less good 'key to the streets' to me

thats a high bar tbf

anyone check out Future's Superfly soundtrack? im digging the high-def production, even if the songs aren't as memorable as usual. the Zaytoven collab "Walk on Minks" knocks though.

It's his best album since... 2015, perhaps?

I've only listened to the shorter version though. I understand there's a longer one out now that has replaced the first one.

Beast Mode 2 is solid.

color me skeptical purple

def a worthy successor to the og beast mode

drums on trap niggas are crazy

glad this thread is still around

WZRD was pretty good albeit overlong

future x metro album is pretty good. "like that" is getting the buzz, "type shit" has travis and carti, but my fav is "fried," which has some residual pluto (meaning his major label debut album) energy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z8eMHVwFDw

ice attack also v good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycRKgIDciG4

part 2 out today, again pretty solid front-to-back. it's not hndrxx, but the main part of the album doess lean more into future's warbling melodic side (really love "mile high memories," "drink n dance" and "beat it," all not coincidentally co-written by bobby raps). the final 5-6 songs is separated into a 2nd disc, and is a conscious attempt to recreate the vibes of monster. and it mostly works!
