Feb 20, 2017 Real s---. Future dropped an album with almost no notice, little hype and is still taking over the game. Setting aside his incredible success and top 5 status (maybe top 3?) in the game, this album is THE s---. To me, Future is a mix of Pluto and his 4peat sound. An astronaut discovering codeine over trap beats. Whatever Super did in 2016 preparing for this, his pen game took a major step up. "I was down and out, and I remember this It's gon' hurt my soul just to reminisce Gotta understand what I represent You know what I mean to the game" If you said Kendrick wrote that real hip hop fans would be chanting King Kendrick. Future's painting real pictures on this entire project. His flows took a step up, his delivery is CRYSTAL CLEAR. Future has a skill at putting in ear worm lyrics as well. "Mask on, f--- it mask off" "You won't ever get ya b---- back" "Percies and mollies MHMMMMM" "I took off just like a rocket, Olajuwon Hakeem" This s--- stays with you all day, makin you wanna go hear it again. Aside from a few filler tracks (Scrape, Good Dope, Flip) this s--- is pure Future. Trap Future, Pluto Future, Super Future. The best of Future's lyrics, flow and cadence are on this album. To me, it's AOTY.
Feb 20, 2017 I would basically say that it's the dark version of "Honest" since many of the beats are super innovative and unique. "Honest" had the best instrumentation of any Future album and his self-titled album feels a lot like "Honest" except darker and jacked up to levels unseen. I agree with the lyrics. Migos couldn't even do that on their Culture album. It's a fun listen but it's not necessarily the classic it was supposed to be after a few listens. But it is super consistent and short. We'll see if Future has AOTY. It's only February and albums haven't even dropped yet.
Feb 20, 2017 His pen game took a HUGE step up with this album. So many quotable lyrics and s--- that you wanna hear over and over again. I feel like he'll drop another album this year and i think very soon, possibly Beast Mode 2? It's safe to say this album is a classic.
Feb 20, 2017 Ok? TPAB was released in March and that was AOTY no questions asked, but because it's Future it's a no?
Feb 20, 2017 no, it's a "no" because it's a very unremarkable album. (also TPAB wasn't the best album of 2015, but okay.)
Feb 20, 2017 nah, not because its future. it's just too soon. and as you can see by the posts in this thread...... the thoughts on how good is it is very controversial.
