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

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

production on 56 nights is basic.

the one with "march madness" & "trap n*ggas"?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 July 2015 03:48 (eight years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:06 (eight years ago) link
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"
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:24 (eight years ago) link
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
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:35 (eight years ago) link
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.
― longneck, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 06:58 (eight years ago) link
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
― supreme problematics (D-40), Thursday, 16 July 2015 05:45 (eight years ago) link
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

the second song in 'throw away' goes into some kind of weird metal machine glitch tunes thing and it's cool

news or somethn always gets forgotten cuz its not on a mixtape but i agree its dope
― 龜, Friday, 4 September 2015 14:57 (eight years ago) link
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!
