May 6, 2016

After reading @BigCountry's excellent Top 10 Rap Albums list and more recently, @Soldier's take on his top 10 Future songs, I found myself revisiting Future's 2014 mixtape/album Monster. Sometime last year I tried my hand at writing a little review of Monster, but never posted it. Figured I would jump back on the Hendrix bandwagon and post it here for SXN80's reading pleasure. Let me know your thoughts!

​

I didn’t really understand Future at first. I remember hearing ‘Bugatti’ for the first time in some snobbish club I used to frequent back in the earlier years of the 2010s. Another T-Pain rip-off? In 2013? Really? No one else really seemed to mind though. Plus, I still had the infectious hook rattling in my skull as I unceremoniously threw up in the parking lot later that night. A quick hungover skim-through of Future’s discography the next day didn’t do much to impress me.

But 2 years later, its 2015 and things have changed. The Future hype is real and I decided to finally give him a chance.

By now, everyone knows the Future/Ciara saga. The seemingly perfect Hollywood couple’s relationship came to a tumultuous end when Ciara called off their engagement in 2014. Future’s descent from happy-go-lucky, romantic hook-crooner into full-blown monster-dom followed soon after, culminating in late 2014’s Monster. A few DatPiff moments later and I'm ready to give Monster a listen.

​

Radical is the first song that hits the speakers. Holy s---, this is dark. If I close my eyes, I’m cavorting through the streets of a concrete metropolis with my squad of hoodlums and misfits, Styrofoam cups filled to the brim. Its night, neon lights are flashing in all directions, blurring, loud and chaotic. Everything is coated in a thick hazy layer of smog. It’s grimy. Think Mobb Deep circa 1995, but instead of sparking phillies, we’re sipping that muddy. And now it’s the title track. Is this… is this actually darker? Grimier? Metro Boomin’s bass heavy instrumental is thumping through the speakers as Future’s warbled flow compliments the plodding melody. He’s “serving his auntie that raw”, he’s “promoting prostitution”, and he’s vilely and vividly describing how he’s “f---ing her throat when she gets back from church”. Suddenly, I understand the hype. Future really is a monster.

What fascinates me about Monster is the clear dichotomous distinction of the Future Hendrix persona. And the ties that link it all together into this monsterish behemoth that has, over the past 2 years taken the rap game by storm.

On one side of the equation we’ve got the melancholic, Throw Away, where Future laments the loss of his love, then mournfully depicts his deterioration into syrup and sex-infused madness. “It’s gon’ be ok oh, its gon’ be ok,” he cries in his signature auto-tuned garble. But you don’t really believe him. The pain is leaking through the speakers at this point. And it coalesces into a bubbling pool of promethazine and throwaway encounters with promiscuous groupies.

​

And if you thought was painful, then nothing will prepare for the heart-wrenching agony of Hardly and Codeine Crazy. Two beautifully dark and sorrowful sounding cuts, the latter of which may be Future’s best song to date. While Hardly features a stunningly somber piano loop over which Future waxes poetic about trying to “fight the demons”, Codeine Crazy is by far the standout track on the project. It almost sounds like he’s choking back tears as he acknowledges his demons, dangling precariously on the edge as he stumbles through the haphazardly grief-stricken and haunting instrumental.

But then, there’s the other side of Future Hendrix, the self-proclaimed ‘savage’. The obvious stand out is the smash-hit/turn-up anthem, f--- Up Some Commas, a ferocious declaration of unadulterated hedonism over thumping bass and an insanely catchy piano loop. Then there are the darker cuts like Gangland and Fetti, where Future takes it back to the streets. “Do you have the heart to k--- a n-----?” he asks.And this time, he really does sound earnest.

Each song on this project flows into the next. The production team of Metro Boomin’, 808 Mafia and co. have crafted the perfect sonic landscape – an overgrown, lush jungle of trap instrumentals complimented with those sensational rattling high hats we’ve all come to love. Future sounds right at home as he carefully divulges the tale from the birth of the beast to outright monster.

​

Monster’s cohesiveness plays to the fascinating journey through Future’s mind. We’re right there with him as he delves into his relationship woes, into his syrup and pill addiction. We’re right there with our glasses overflowing with champagne, drowning in a chaotic, steaming amalgam of late night binges and the feverish hangovers that follow. The demons become transposed on our own psyche. And by the time you’re done listening you can’t help but feel a little forlorn.

2015’s DS2 was the crowning achievement; it was the polished gem we all wanted to hear. But Monster is Future at his most unapologetic. It’s raw, its dirty, its grimy, its emotionally draining, it’s a triumphant elegy of heartbreak coated in codeine, clouded with kush smoke. It’s an aptly titled masterpiece and (in my professional opinion), the shining highlight of Future’s career thus far. If you haven’t jumped aboard the hype train just yet, do yourself a favor and start your journey with Monster.


Rating: 9/10

Fun fact: this track was recorded during the Monster sessions. How this never made it onto Monster is beyond me. Glad we've got to hear it though.

Well, Narsh guessed the rest of my list so here are the final three.

3. News or Smthn



I am putting this at three on my own personal list but this is probably the best song Future has ever made. The only negative thing to say about News Or Smthn is that it was never put on a project, it was just a track Future let loose for us, and thank god he did.

Future has a singular perspective on what goes on around him. He depicts where he is from in such a compelling way, "It's a full moon in the middle of the day." He takes aim at what I would assume would be Ciara with, "Hope you didn't do it to yourself, that's tragic/Hope you didn't throw away what we established," and then giving his fatherly advice, "Hope you wouldn't turn your back on your family/The way a n----- look 'round here, they'll back stab you/Word from your motherfucking brother, young n-----/I just wanna see you happy, I just wanna see you happy."

News is somewhat of a tribute to all the people he knows who never made it out the streets. It's evident with lyrics like, "Know a few real ones ain’t gon’ see they next birthday," he acknowledges them and knows that they will never turn on him, "The police wanna talk, but we won't say nothing
True to these clips, n----s won't say nothing."

2. Codeine Crazy



The anthem to lean abusers. I don't even need drugs now, all I have to do is listen to this. This is Future's cry for help. Codeine Crazy isn't hard hitting but still has a sense of edge to it. The first line of the first verse sets the tone for this song, "Take all my problems and drink out the bottle and f--- on a model," he feels just like the average person who uses all the luxuries of his life to mask away his pain. Codeine Crazy also has some lines that are aimed at the famous breakup between him and Ciara, "Too many days gone by/Sittin' by the phone waitin til I reply/Drying my eyes, believe it or not/I could never see a tear fallin/Water drippin off of me like a faucet," the media portrayed Future not giving a f--- about their relationship. Right after that, he then goes onto rap, "I just took a b---- to eat at Chipotle/Spent another 60 thousand on a Rollie," yet another example of the choices he makes in order to distract himself from the pain he is holding.

The third verse is where the most raw and emotional lines come from. He raps, "f--- the fame, I'm sippin lean when I'm driving," and then, "I'm an addict and I can't even hide it." These two lines are what sum up Codeine Crazy. He can't go a day without his lean and would rather die than live without it.

Codeine Crazy is Future's most sincere and genuine song yet.

1. My Savages



Honestly, you could argue that numbers 4-2 are all better than My Savages, and I wouldn't disagree. There is just something about this song that makes me want to put it as my number one. The eerie production, Future's voice cracking as he raps about losing friends, it's all great.

He dedicates this song to the lost ones. While trying to figure out some of his fall-outs with, he raps, "This a letter for my dogs/How we let the money get between us/How we let these b------s get between us/How we let these n----s get between us," and "The fame is doing a lot of damage to my friendships."

Yet again, we get some lines directed towards Ciara, "No she’ll never meet another n----- not another n----- like me/Even if he got a billion dollars he can’t make her c-m like me," and the downplay of the significance of Russell Wilson in Ciara's life (f--- Celibate Russ).

5. Monster



This is without a doubt, one of the best beats Future has hopped on to this day. Listening to this is like going thousands of miles per hour through space on our way to Pluto. The production given to us from 808 is just unreal on this cut. I've yet to listen to this song without blaring out, "IT DON'T f--- WITH MY CONSCIENCE/I SERVE MY AUNTIE THAT RAW." I had to put that quote in caps because there is really no other way to type it.

This is one of those songs where you question where Future's heart and morals really are. He goes from rapping about selling drugs to his own family to openly inviting any conflict with, "And I say f--- all the rules, I'd rather f--- your baby momma/And I say bring all your tools cause I'm ready for that drama," and then saying he promotes prostitution. This is one of the most ruthless and aggressive tracks to ever come from Hendrix and I f---ing love it.
