9. The Percocet & Stripper Joint



Over Southside production like much of Future's recent work. We get a perc'd out Future over a very mellow beat that still hits you hard. Nothing wrong can be said about this track. It's very different from the usual formula we get from Hendrix but it's still just as great. This song is, in the best words to put it, mesmerizing. From the smoothness of the production, Future's flow, and his voice, here you are with #9 of 2015.

Plus, the video is GOAT.

I get mad zooted
I got this bad thing I recruited

Treasure bring misery
Codeine in my delivery

10. Where I Came From



One of my personal favorites from Beast Mode. It is everything you would expect from a Zaytoven and Future collab. Smooth vocals from Future and Zaytoven playing the keys better than Beethoven. Many say Zaytoven complements Migos better than Future which is very understandable but it is also undeniable that Future can run with it just as good.

Future keeps it safe on this track but also is gritty at the same time.

I used to trap out my grandma house
We get it poppin on any corner

I serve my auntie that water
s--- I served my momma that water

#9 Coming tomorrow.

 

Dec 11, 2015

Beginning in late 2014 and all throughout 2015, we were able to witness an artist go on a run that many rappers never have or will. Starting with Beast Mode dropping in January, we get a gritty Future over Zaytoven's keys who produces the tape in whole. Jump to March and Nayvadius drops another mixtape on us titled 56 Nights in reference to DJ Esco's stay in a Dubai prison for, as you would guess, 56 days. 56 Nights is a shot of adrenaline from Future consisting of production entirely from Southside and Tarentino.

As if two mixtapes that could very well have been albums weren't enough, we get his third album with the release of Dirty Sprite 2. Future going back to his roots and even has said that this album is for the Itchin fans. It is arguably one of the best albums of 2015 holding 13 tracks of consistency and self loathing that many people may miss. Come late August, we begin to hear rumors of a collaboration project between Drake & Future. Very like Drake to make this happen and hop on the Future wave while he still can. Created in six days and released on September 20th, What A Time To Be Alive is a collaboration album between the two but it just feels like nine Future tracks with Drake in there somewhere. Drake seems to be way out of his league and comfort zone while Future floats over the tape easily, especially on tracks such as Live From The Gutter.

It is safe to say that 2015 was Future's year. With the new year coming in and Southside saying that Future has six albums and three mixtapes ready at the time, we could very well get one last project before the end of 2015. The possible releases of long-awaited projects such as Beast Mode 2, Monster 2, and Ape s--- are still a matter of when, not if, we could see Future's legendary run very well continue into 2016.

Let the top 10 begin.

8. Live From The Gutter [Verse]



One of the best verses on What A Time To Be Alive. Future is practically crying on this track while he reflects on his origins the gutter. Particularly when he speaks on waking up as a kid and sees scales, girls, bills, and h--- everywhere. Thankfully Future's verse is in the beginning before it gets ruined by Drake throwing subliminals at Chris Brown.

I know them tears still fallin down on my last b----
This money made me hungry I'm a savage

I watched my broad give up on me like I'm average

A fiend for that lean I ain't start drinkin beer yet

5. Lay Up



I passed her off like a layup

From the first verse of this track, Nayvadius lets us know that nothing he does is particularly regular. This will make the average person feel like nothing as he stunts all over you about the luxuries of just being him. All while he seems to be having what would be a good time to most people, nothing about the tone of his voice changes to let you know. It's as he is doing all this f---ing and drugs out of spite. The delivery Hendrix brings switches up throughout the track along with the switching of his flow every few bars. This is all over the simple, yet catchy production Zaytoven brought to the table throughout all of Beast Mode.

7. Blood On The Money



At first this song wasn't to big on me but it has really grown on me. Future is so smooth throughout the whole track and it's filled with a shitload of quotables. Every line in this song could be someones user title or bio on social media. This is also what I believe to be one of Zaytoven's greatest works of production.

I'm finally in the mood to f--- a b---- on the beach

6. Trap n----s



When you wake up before you brush your teeth you grab your strap n-----

As requested, I am going to finish this list.

Trap n----s was one of the more popular cuts from 56 Nights. Future made this song for everyone who is trapped. Not just the ones trapping. This is the type of s--- to motivate you to go bust your a--- at a dead end job just because you have to to survive. He even said it himself that he made this to be motivational for everyone. Future raps the lyric "Told yourself a million times you don't give a f---" as he recollects on the things he had to do that everyone would look down on him for. He puts it into his head that no matter what he is still going to do it because he has to and that is why this track can be applied to more things in life than what the first listener would think. Drinking actavis the only thing that relax me.

Me picking a favorite song from Beast Mode is like asking me who is my favorite family member, I love them all the same for different reasons

4. Thought It Was A Drought



Future came out firing on all cylinders with his intro to the awaited second installment of Dirty Sprite. Perhaps the most quotable lyric of 2015 came with this song as Future raps, "I just f----- your b---- in some gucci flip flops". From the moment this was heard, people much like myself were running to Twitter to tweet this. Months later, we even learn that the Gucci flip flops are real. Apparently, Nayvadius's Grandmother is in posession of the said flip flops. Future comes grimy as ever from the very beginning and even proclaiming that he will choose his dirty sprite over you with no regret, nor remorse. Here is to you, Ciara.

I hope I never become so addicted to lean that I see it coming out as I urinate.

I just took a piss and I seen codeine coming out

@FutureHive

On another note: This will be the last write up I do for this list on the forum. With the launch of the Section80 blog coming soon, I am going to edit this all together and publish it there. The remaining three will be available at that time.

Percocet should probably be higher, it's the closest thing we'll ever get to a new OutKast song

 

Dec 15, 2015

I feel like we have a decent amount of Future fans here but it seems like no one likes to take part in any discussion generated in here

 

Dec 15, 2015

Dec 11, 2015

This bodies Drake's version.

Also, tell me more about how Drake wouldn't show up at Future's video s---t for the Tony Montana video a few years back but now that Future was the wave the past year, Drake hopped on like the groupie b---- he is.
