We're not a hivemind
Future said he was changing lanes with this album? Aside from a few beats that are slightly different than usual, it's the same Future we've heard on the last five mixtapes. I still enjoy his sound but this album suffers from the same lack of variety and sense of fatigue as Purple Reign and EVOL.
Future sucks.

I thought you liked Future....
Nope you're mistaken. I always say WATTBA was only good because of Drake.
I don't think keeping 3-4 future songs from his mixtapes since 2013 means I'm a future fan.
One of the most overlooked albums of last year. Fantastic record.

Huh, that's cool. He used to be my favorite flow, but Thugga has that bill.

If it wasn't for posts like this I'd never catch up with new shit, don't know how yall do it.
Really digging the the new Pusha and Cyhi.
hot take
On topic though, I havent peeped the new album but that long ass tracklist means theres prob a lot of hot garbage on there. Future is good for at least 3-4 classic tracks per tape though so we'll see.
We gonna act like fewtch didn't kill drake on every track and that 30 for 30 wasn't the worst track on the album?
The novelty is wearing off and people finally seeing. It's all good tho y'all got chance to save you now.
Only good song on DS2 is Where Ya At and we all know the reason why.
yeah, it's almost like youd have to bookmark a lame blog or possibly even two.
I think without the skits this new album > EVOL and PR. Mask Off is an all time great Future track instantly, and there are some other really good tracks on here. The skits are just plain bad and they only show up at the end of like 4 tracks or something, they feel like an unnecessary thing that should have been scrapped.
Album takes off after Mask Off imo

I don't have time to sift through the bullshit. Appreciate the fact some of you guys can.

The Mask Off instrumental is incredible. Southside, Frank Dukes & Cubeatz killed it

HA! That got me good
"Zoom" is the real start of this album.
I thought it was kinda wack on first listen. Went out and ran some errands, now there's definitely at least 5-6 tracks that'll be on repeat for a while...
EDIT: New opinion. Album is flames. 4-5 tracks I don't really mess with, yet.

Huh this isn't bad.
Speaking of which, I got bored of College Dropout and decided to move to TLOP. I like it quite a bit, even if it does feel a bit...choppy and unfocused.

Pretty much. One of the better hooks I've heard in a while.
Bored? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The new Future album is decent lowkey, I like the skits too. Some of those beat are pretty dam good.
What a weak ass record this was. One and done.
damn, this sounds great
Chance? What?
Also where ya at only good song is insane to say. That album has at least 5 great songs
Is it cool to hate future now what
Whew.

How would you rate 50 Cent as a rapper/song writer?
Obviously he isn't the most "techicnal" MC of all time, but his slurrish flow and melodic ability (that really shines with his hooks)and basic rapping ability leads to him bunching words together in really incredible ways multisyllable/flow wise.
Like the final bars on the first verse of "What Up Gangsta":
"I'm on the next level, Breitling baguette bezel
Benz pedal to the metal, hotter than a tea kettle, blood"
Or this section of "Many Men":
"I walk the block with the bundles
I've been knocked on the humble
Swing the ox when I rumble, show your ass what my gun do"
It's honestly pretty incredible.
And he's honestly just dope with punchlines and knows how to write a song (like 9 shots), but then with his discography there's a question on how much of him is really mainly based on production.
I've been listening to this a lot recently, shows his talent well, one of my favorite 50 tracks:

50 Cent was genuinely good at what he did until like 2006. Even after he dumbed down after signing to Shady/Aftermath in 2002, he made up for that by pushing the melodies a bit more. He was great at those proto Max B/French Montana hooks.
After that he completely lost his hunger, his talent for picking beats, and his ability to make good songs. Every 3 years you can see a flash of old 50, but it's over.

Limos (by vince staples) is an amazing track.

50 cent is great, I think if he followed up with stronger albums he would be up there with the legends nas,pac and big. I put him just slightly lower under them.
