Future - Honest (2014)

dirty sprite 2

available for preorder on itunes brand music store

Yikes; terrible name. And that's a full, physical release album? Is there even a single? Seems like this is being set up to tank

yeah who knows what an album is even these days def kinda weird to claim a part 2 of a mixtape is an album

on the other hand u cld take the best songs from 56 NIGHTS v BEAST MODE v MONSTER maybe master them up a lil and have a great album

I still gotta catch up on everything after Monster. I heard good buzz about some of them, esp 56 Nights, but after Monster I needed a break

Funny how Honest only came out last year but it already feels like a career ago

there's a lot of buzz on twitter but who knows how that translates

Hardly, this is the first time an album's release has lined up w/ peak buzz in what feels like years....

I guess I haven't been paying attention, but I'm not really seeing the buzz. At least in terms of radio play, he seems miles away from peak buzz

yeah this album is gonna do big numbers. the 2 biggest radio songs from his recent mixtapes ("Commas" and "Real Sisters") are on it and his fanbase is way more fervent than the "oh, he's really good at hooks" kind of casual embrace he had before.

Man I feel out of it. But good for him. I like that in 2015 going the J. Cole route (not a diss) could work for a guy like Future.

going the J. Cole route (not a diss)

what does this mean? (not being argumentative, just curious)

I think he means "announce an album people didn't know about a week or two ahead of release."

Sorry; could have been more clear. I also meant "make an appeal to an engaged fanbase rather than bank on singles that these days don't cleanly translate to album sales anyway"

"Commas" is a big hit dude

fuck up some commas yeah

haha, I am out of it—my bad. I guess I do hear "Commas" on radio/mixtapes/whatever, but I just kind of dismiss it b/c it doesn't sound like a hit to me. I enjoy some of Future's phrasing, but the beat is blah

nooooo cmon

i wrote a poem

listening to future
dissolving totally
arising as a being of pure dark emotion
batman?

this is the totally mood of commas and also trap n*ggas

'march madness' is probably the poppiest of the songs on the three mixtapes (the holy trinity as it were)

'real sisters' too xp to myself

all these tapes are full of oddly engaging songs that take time to reveal themselves

^otm ... you can find me upthread one month ago today expressing disappointment in 56 Nights ... now i can't stop listening to it

still think trap n***as is the cream of the crop, tho

guess i should check out Monster/Beastmode

they are both very good tho 56 nights is prob the purest distillation of the form

curious if hell go more pop/dynamic on the album or what

Honest is such a weird blip on the radar for him now. Imo if he'd just done some hardcore editing/resequencing before putting it out it'd hold up a lot better and his hot streak would seem even more *fire emoji*

to me march madness is more a perfect album track ... the 'hook' as it were is in the melodic intricacies of the beat meshing w/ his meaningfulcore lyrics/emoting...."Commas" feels like the biggest Single-single but it's also not a perfect iteration of what he sounds like now IMO...its success set the table for further artistic explorations but I don't think he's yet released the HIT that epitomizes his current sound

in some gucci flip flops

15. The Percocet & Stripper Joint 2:36

yeah that's the best one

crashed itunes im just honest

lol did it really? wow

listened to some of the itunes previews last night, def seems to be in keeping with the sound of the last three tapes. bout to rip into it now

it's really good

the interview/bonus track commentary on the deluxe edition that's on spotify is...interesting? to say the least?

but yea this as thematically and sonically consistent as 56 nights or beastmode, love the production

they tried to make me go pop and unleashed a monster

p cool theres only one feature on this, not that cool its drake

This all sounds really mixtape-caliber to me

Wtf does that even mean

Oh and re. Future, DS2 is cool but I think 56 Nights crazy

Wtf does that even mean

I meant it's not up to the caliber of his other albums. In both quality and sound, it feels like a mixtape to me.

It's got a sustained vibe, and I appreciate that. Honest was a lot more scattershot, and maybe even jumbled, but song for song it was so much better than this one

i kinda prefer the cold, grimly focused asshole future to the warbling romantic future. when was it obvious he'd switched? i lost interest in him for a while.

Strong disagree. Although I don't think this one is as good as 56 Nights

i kinda prefer the cold, grimly focused asshole future to the warbling romantic future.

I want to agree with this, but I'll take maudlin romantic Future over the asshole shaming his ex on "Rotation" any day

i think the beats on this are better. cold and mechanical, they fit.

xp you'll take the lies over the honest post-break-up bitterness then
