spottie didnt use ds2 tho
― lag∞n, Saturday, 5 September 2015 16:08 (eight years ago) link
yeah idk why i just really wanted to put the ds2 bonus trax on there, they feel so wasted on ds2

imo kno the meaning would work as an actual final track to ds2 bc it's an interesting emotional conclusion, percocet and stripper joint is kind of an orphan though (and a great track) that doesn't fit the ds2 sonic palette

diamonds from africa was on mine until the last minute, I just really wanted a 45 minute playlist
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Tuesday, 8 September 2015 16:04 (eight years ago) link
'56 nights' is just the best song
― 龜, Tuesday, 8 September 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link
perfect closer
yea it is
singing towards end of "throw away" is touching me man
― marcos, Tuesday, 8 September 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link

otm
the clash of a lyric like "celebrate like a championship" against this sad dark production + the somber morose way he says it is v powerful imo

Not nearly enough Blood On The Money or Blow A Bag on those lists.
― longneck, Wednesday, 9 September 2015 14:09 (eight years ago) link
one of each
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 September 2015 14:44 (eight years ago) link
i put blow a bag on mine; i do really like blood on the money but felt like i had too many closer-type tracks in my last 5 w/ hardly and kno the meaning
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 9 September 2015 15:04 (eight years ago) link
2 pac is such a fucking jam
― marcos, Monday, 14 September 2015 18:33 (eight years ago) link
right now I am feeling beast mode is the best, zaytoven production is so good, love all this jazzy piano. does feel like the most consistent too
― marcos, Saturday, 3 October 2015 12:45 (eight years ago) link
lol in that future promo doc he put out this summer he talks about London bridges falling down as an inspiration and that he is basically trying to write nursery rhymes and that is pretty otm imo, I have these random future bars floating around in my head all the time
― marcos, Saturday, 3 October 2015 12:48 (eight years ago) link
i like "groupies"
― flopson, Saturday, 3 October 2015 14:14 (eight years ago) link
"blood on the money" is like in top 3 or so future tracks in this whole run since monster imo
― marcos, Thursday, 15 October 2015 14:55 (eight years ago) link
after several months of m/l continuous listening to all four monster and beyond future projects, i'd say beast mode def has the most interesting production, 56 nights and DS2 are most successful at being coherent wholes and sustaining moods throughout (esp. DS2), monster has some of the highest heights and is the most emotionally resonant overall
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 15 October 2015 15:13 (eight years ago) link
i agree with all that actually
― marcos, Thursday, 15 October 2015 16:26 (eight years ago) link
actually i might say beast mode is more cohesive than 56 nights
― marcos, Thursday, 15 October 2015 16:27 (eight years ago) link
ds2 starts off great, sags a little in the middle imo, but has a really good closing stretch (fwiw i have the non-deluxe version that ends w/ blood on the money). def has a very sustained mood throughout though
― marcos, Thursday, 15 October 2015 16:29 (eight years ago) link
Really grateful for everyone's best of upthread. I've been playing these on shuffle for a few months but I've been having mixed feelings about this stage of his work. Both Future and Young Thug seem to have left behind the fast chatting bangers (Same Damn Time, Treasure etc) and gone for this reflective, smoothed out, more consistent but ultimately less hooky sound. Listening to these favourites put into a playlist is bringing it all home though - Just Like Bruddas is fantastic, as is March Madness and several others.
No love for Thought There Was A Drought though? I love the way 'gucci flip flops' seems to drip and drop over the beat.
― canoon fooder (dog latin), Friday, 16 October 2015 12:43 (eight years ago) link
hooks are definitely there on all these imo, sometimes i feel like future is nothing but hooks, "nursery rhymes" for real imo
― marcos, Friday, 16 October 2015 13:23 (eight years ago) link
live from the gutter is nearly as good as anything on these 3 tapes imo
― johnny crunch, Friday, 16 October 2015 13:38 (eight years ago) link
xp the hooks are there, but they feel more buried. not sure about nursery rhymes tbh.
― canoon fooder (dog latin), Friday, 16 October 2015 14:24 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah live from the gutter is really good, diamonds dancing, digital dash, i'm the plug and jersey also p great to solid cuts from the future/drake tape (which is really just a future tape that drake jumps in on a few times other than 30 for 30 freestyle)
