are they? i think Metro Thuggin was just anticipated because "The Blanguage" was awesome and there was a year where that was the big Young Thug project perpetually on the horizon, and it's a bummer that these 2 guys that at one point were making an album together had some kind of falling out. Metro and Future seems like a more fertile combination overall but there's really no reason these guys can't all work together.

So are we buying this 12 hours later "I wasn't talking about Thug, that would be corny" talk or not?

"You gotta be crazy if you think I subtweeted Thug. That's corny." wellllll if Thug thought you subtweeted him then you're saying if I didn't insult you before I'm insulting you now. not a great attempt at peacekeeping tbh!

Right. London on da track had a tweet along the lines of either Metro is stupid or he's lying and only stupidity is forgivable.

has everyone come around to realize that the future/thug stannery is out of control or are we still calling it str8 deejery

"Future and Young Thug are the only two rappers that matter" is definitely not that different from "Kendrick and J. Cole are the only two rappers that matter"

its similar except for with better taste and is more true and doesnt contain j cole

future young thug kendrick and j cole are the only four rappers that matter

otm

and this ashtray. Just this ashtray. And future and young thug and kendrick and j cole and that's all I need. And Le1f.

No but the former argument was contained within the latter and further expounded upon in this thread ... The point was future stans aren't any more open minded just bc future is better than jcole

Boosie is a very good rapper who I never really want to listen to

also Junglepussy is the only rapper who matters

boosies so intense man wow

and Vince Staples

boosie's in my feelings is really good on first listen

I just don't know which Future album to vote for in EOY. I haven't really been treating them as separate releases at all, just listening to them all in one playlist.

i just voted for 2 of em

haven't voted yet but i find it fairly easy to go w/ ds2 even if i also listen to them together or jump back and forth between them

yeah i def rated DS2 highest, the other ones kinda feel like EPs to me

w/ thug barter 6 is an easy pick imo, i find ss1 less and less appealing as the year wrapped up, the shitty mastering and many dud tracks kind of ruins it for me even if there are some standouts. ss2 is wonderful though and i need to spend more time w/ it

I can compile an all-killer album from the three Future releases but none of them seem perfect. Guess I'll plump for DS2 although Beast Mode stands out as it has my favourite track on it.

i understand how opinions work but the idea that anyone thinks DS2 (or Beast Mode or Monster) is better than 56 Nights kinda boggles my mind. all of them of plenty of great moments, but as an album, 56N is a good bit better than the rest imo.

to each his/her own, of course. i just don't get it.

otm

xpost: all of them *have* plenty

ds2 is the worst of em imo

specialy if u discount the dupes from the tapes

production is the best on it though

the mixing/mastering is maybe the best but not the production imo

just getting around to listening to all of these separately and beast mode> 56 nights> monster> ds2

well, that looks like Future's fucked for even being in the EOY.

DS2 > monster > 56 nights >>> beast mode

I think one of the albums (prob DS2) will get enough votes to make it onto the list, but I can hardly imagine that we'll cohere around one song to place onto the singles list.

Publications seem to focus on March Madness and I Serve the Base, but I know there's a lot of passion for Just Like Bruddas and Blood on the Money in these parts.

Just Like Bruddas, followed by March Madness for me FWIW.

there's a reason "March Madness" is the song everyone loves off that tape, it's the only one not produced by Southside and the only one that doesn't sound like a variation on "Commas." Zaytoven has a sound too but Beast Mode feels way less monochromatic than 56 Nights to me.

Yeah 56 Nights feels very one-note to me.

Sorry for the noob question, but if it's a collab with DJ Esco, what exactly is he doing on the album, if Southside produced the tracks?

He's the dj, of course, aka the editor. Selecting the tracks and putting them together in a purposeful fashion, the Khaled way.

answered by the man himself

I hope this isn't too rude, but how much of an impact do you have on the creative side of Future's mixtapes? Are you like an executive producer helping keep the project cohesive?
Love your work with Future. Truly the coolest DJ in the world.

DJEscoDJ ESCO
That's not a rude question. You could say I'm the A&R.

The one-note-ness of 56 Nights is actually what makes it work so well to me. It feels like a statement.

they're all quite one-note, but on DS2 the non-highlight tracks still feel like an essential part of the flow and the album whereas on 56N you just want to skip to the highlights (of which the highest is "no compadre" by a million miles)

like, the amount of times i've pressed play on DS2 only intending to cherrypick my favs and ended up listening to the album all the way through...

Otm

obligatory lol @ "by a million miles" - I know you were fishing for it.

the idea that 'no compadre' and 'trap gentleman' sound a lot alike is ridiculous

on 56N you just want to skip to the highlights (of which the highest is "no compadre" by a million miles)
