Tricks on Me There’s still a few more requests we’re gonna get through but I wanted to slide this one in real quick. Future’s 7th studio album is a f---ing masterpiece. I’m really surprised at the lukewarm critical and fan reception it’s been getting online. It didn’t face any commercial obstacles though, debuting at number 1, and in the process equalling a 30-year old Elton John record and surpassing a Drake record (most no. 1’s on Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums Chart this decade). I liked and appreciated a lot of FUTURE and HNDRXX but neither of those albums stuck with me in the same way Monster of 56 Nights or DS2 did. Even though BM2 2 was one of my favourite projects of 2018, I had a nagging feeling that it had mostly been recorded a few years prior, especially considering how disappointing that Juice WRLD collab album was. I was just starting to think Future’s run was over. Boy was I wrong. Future hasn’t sounded this raw, this hungry in years. He sticks to what he knows best, sure, but he does it in a way that pushes the boundaries, sounding renewed, energised. Its the perfect closing act to follow up FUTURE and HNDRXX, perfectly navigating the line between the two, never getting lost. He’s bouncing off ATL Jacob and Wheezy’s instrumentals just as well as he glided over Metro and Zaytoven’s back in 2015. I’m balling my eyes out from the moment Never Stop hits the speakers. The singles are classic Future slaps (if a little generic). Faceshot is a pure adrenaline shot. Krazy But True has me cackling with glee every time i hear it. Unicorn Purp might be my favourite Future/Thugger collaboration so far. Call the Coroner sends chills down my spine. Stick to the Models is just pure Hndxx hedonism. “Told my b---- to find us a b---- we can f--- on together tomorrow.” Every song hits and doesn’t overstay its welcome. This is exactly what I wanted. And more. I’ve listened to the whole thing about 20 times and I still can’t stop. I give it a 9/10. @RateThisAlbum
Feb 1, 2019 i cant say its settled with me yet, i still need more time with it so instead of a rating ill say its very good
Feb 1, 2019 Futures Best project since DS2. Been playing this all day since the release. This the kinda disrespectful future we love, none of that Hndrx love song pop crap. 9/10
Feb 2, 2019 Crazy how the thugga and gunna colqb is the worst song on this. Tbh nearly every song on super slimey was better
Feb 2, 2019 @The Albatross @Sav Stanfield the only song I’d cut would be Rocket Ship probably. I love “I been poppin since my demo b----” but the rest of the song doesn’t do much for me. That being said I don’t think Thug and Gunna added as much to Unicorn Purp as they could have. Song woulda been fine without them. Anyway, this is yet even more proof that Future is a once in a generation talent. I’m not quite sure yet if this would crack my top 5 future projects but it’s definitely top 10 (which considering this mans expansive discography is still a feat). He really did deliver on this feeling like a culmination of his career up until now, but not in a lazy or reshashing sort of way. He’s still experimenting with sounds and flows and cadences and new producers. The tracklist looks daunting but the songs are mostly short enough that the 1-2 minor duds hardly even matter and nothing wears out their welcome. They’re just long enough to leave you wanting more while also being satisfied. I think after I sit with this for awhile longer it’ll creep up my rankings. 8.5/10
Feb 2, 2019 yeah like said before in here, future didn't stray away from what he has been doing but he came at it a new way. man was rapping different on this s---. 11/10.
Feb 2, 2019 honestly i was one of those plebs when LIR2 originally dropped but it wasn't too long after that i realized that LIR2 truly is much better. LIR1
Feb 2, 2019 honestly i was one of those plebs when LIR2 originally dropped but it wasn't too long after that i realized that LIR2 truly is much better. LIR1 although only dropping within the past few years already has a nostalgic feel for me. love both projects but Uzi mastered his sound on LIR2.
Feb 2, 2019 @Big Cuntry surprised you don't like rocket ship, that's a top 3 song off the album for me
Feb 2, 2019 I think cuz this albums kinda a culmination of all his sounds there’s something for everyone so peoples top songs and bottom songs are gonna be a huge spread
Feb 2, 2019 Kinda like a life of pablo except not made in ten minutes by a someone who needed to check into a mental facility
Feb 2, 2019 Honestly I love pablo the way it is and wouldn’t change that rollout for the world, but if it was more expertly curated like the wizrd I think it could have been a similar, more cohesive culmination of ye’s career until that point.
Feb 4, 2019 Precisely this. Its' DS2, Monster and HNDRXX wrapped up in one, all expertly curated to the point where it what it sounds like to me is the quintessential Future project, but still fresh, still innovative. I'm fascinated to see where he goes next from here. it is still early days though and needs more time to settle but I'm tagging the @FutureHive anyways coz I wanna see what your thoughts are 2 weeks in. Might actually re-rate this somewhere down the line once its had more time to sink in and see if its changed.
