56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER

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.

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

results are otm

nah monster > beast mode imo but they're all good. a playlist of all 3 mixtapes is prob my most listened to thing this year

yeah prefer the highs of monster to beast mode generally

^^ i've been coming around to beast mode lately tho

i literally forgot move that dope was a future song

future elimating guest verses nearly altogther was such a great move

otm

is this gonna continue on as the post-honest future thread? if so

you know what song i really like just like bruddas

It's the best.

yeah my fav of his this year

the zaytoven piano riff on that track is goddamn beautiful

yea what a good track

i love future

no codeine crazy lag∞n ?

didnt make the cut, tuff call

been particularly in love with "fetti" of late

man no "throw away"?

think i can make a great 45 minutes out of the mixtapes but not necessarily with ds2 too

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

ice attack also v good

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!
