Her pelvic bone, reversed, formed a flat mesa of flesh so that her vagina and anus pointed directly up at the ceiling. This was Aimee. I would get to know her later.

is that from the GQ story? the line that caught my eye (aside from the single tear anectdote) was the charming:
Occasionally, City Dollars threw some singles at the naked woman standing in front of us, the way an old man might absentmindedly feed some ducks the crust of his sandwich.

its p cool how rap despite being a globally commodified industry for decades can still take place in a room somewhere

definitely beast mode, best trap release I heard in a very long time in no small part due to Zaytoven, guy is a bonfide legend.
― grant holt (prettylikealaindelon), Friday, 10 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link
yeah Beast Mode is by far my favorite of these. Monster has some songs that feel like a chore to me, and 56 Nights overdoes the "Commas" siren.

56 nights is a great project, i wish way more high profile rappers did short, thematically consistent tapes like that

Love them all. Going with Beast Mode.
― longneck, Saturday, 11 July 2015 06:31 (eight years ago) link
beast Mode is obv the worst Imo, songs don't cohere all the time, get kind of annoying, no song as good as march madness or trap gentlemen
Voted 56 Nights

"Peacoat" and "Real Sisters" aren't even my favorite songs on Beast Mode but they disprove the idea that it doesn't have standout songs like the other tapes
― some dude, Saturday, 11 July 2015 07:51 (eight years ago) link
it does but neither is as good as the two i mentioned.

its obvs v cornily written but ill take willfully naive over act like you've either been to a strip club or heard rap music before every time, also it was just interesting because it was about something, attempted to encounter a culture where it is at

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 July 2015 03:48 (eight years ago) link
i like the production on 56 Nights, but Southside is not the most versatile producer and it kinda feels like they go back to the "Commas" well a lot. Zay has a much wider range of styles on Beast Mode.
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:06 (eight years ago) link
idk some of those beats are pretty memorable to me and the sound uniquely fits the subject matter, plus with it only being 9 songs it feels more like a specific palette as opposed to "i only have one idea"
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:24 (eight years ago) link
does the tape even follow the 'concept' at all outside the opening skit and the title track? it seems like the other songs could've been on any tape
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 05:35 (eight years ago) link
Looks like Trap Niggas is on DS2. Good choice.
Beast Mode is just as much an in-the-zone tape as 56 Nights imo - it's just more diverse and colorful. Feels like both Future and Zay are spreading their wings a little and are enjoying each other's company.
― longneck, Wednesday, 15 July 2015 06:58 (eight years ago) link
echoing all the beast mode/zaytoven love. for me, it's beast > 56 nights > monster
the first time i listened to 56 nights, future did the "coolest dj in the world" escomoe tag himself and for whatever reason i could imagine him saying "...whatever the fuck that means" right after. and on the very next song, he did. the food i was eating started tasting really sour.

anyone check out Future's Superfly soundtrack? im digging the high-def production, even if the songs aren't as memorable as usual. the Zaytoven collab "Walk on Minks" knocks though.

future x metro album is pretty good. "like that" is getting the buzz, "type shit" has travis and carti, but my fav is "fried," which has some residual pluto (meaning his major label debut album) energy

part 2 out today, again pretty solid front-to-back. it's not hndrxx, but the main part of the album doess lean more into future's warbling melodic side (really love "mile high memories," "drink n dance" and "beat it," all not coincidentally co-written by bobby raps). the final 5-6 songs is separated into a 2nd disc, and is a conscious attempt to recreate the vibes of monster. and it mostly works!
