There's something about soft, cinematic keys that take Future to a different world. Hearing Future say he's, “ In a 305 doing 105” reminds me of Jody Breeze’s “Dippin’.” Play that if you haven’t. Did he say he took a three-hour shower? I probably heard that wrong, but if he did, I have a new favorite weird flex. I’m 100% sure Future does certain things just to rap about them. There’s no way good decisions are made while this beat is playing.
I love when a song title is attached to a worthy record. Do Future and Cam’ron have a record? Need that, if they do, and need that if they don't. This is a song Lil Wayne should’ve made during the Carter III era. This gives him room to talk about his influence, his life, and pinpoint that despite how crazy it might sound, it’s all true. “ Penthouse got a living room with a garage in it,” hahaha. No one makes being rich sounds like such a burden and a thrill. I know material objects shouldn’t be glorified, but Future sounds so proud about all he’s acquired. This man Future just described how all his pockets have drugs.
“ You can be the wave, I’m the ocean” is a bar. Okay, it’s taking me higher than a space shuttle. The slight beat changes at the end of these records continue to catch me by surprise. Future’s hooks are less like choruses and more like mini breaks between verses. No matter the beat, it finds a way to fit. Future’s flow has an autocorrect feature. The beat switch!! It went from Mad Max to Grand Theft Auto: Little Mexico. The question is, why does he need a chopper to eat steak and lobster? The paranoia. Who is Future dating? Someone who deserves more than chicken wings and fries I'm assuming. “ I’m Frank Lucas and Mad Max.” Nah, he said, “ I took an AK to a dinner date,” I can’t stop laughing. Yep, those drums are swinging harder than a drunk carousel. He transforms to the next level with each million dollar deposit. The more money Future makes the stronger he gets. Future saying he got an M for a gig is how I felt the first and only time I got paid a dollar per word. Whoever treated him like he was average, I thank you. Future brags like he has a vendetta against the entire world. Big boasts all over the project thus far. “Crushed Up” hits different within the context of the album. One day we’ll have to discuss how Future’s album sequencing always increases the values of his singles.
What was that bar about a car full of bullets? Missed it, but I’ll be going back. Feels like I’m in the rain being cleansed of all my sins. "Temptation" is a soft, wholesome banger. The singing Future is making me feel very good about pressing play on this album. Future said he’s the richest in the city, that’s a boast. "Temptation"įour songs in, feeling good about this one. Future channels Rick Ross' kingpin attitude flawlessly. Future said the cops stop coming because they made the laws, a street politician. The flow switch! How he's riding this tempo. “ I been popping since my demo, bitch.” Mad Nas never used that line. The fact he’s able to still give us this caliber of banger 1,000 songs after the release of Monster is impressive. I believe no lean was done during this session. Did he sample his own voice in the background? Love it. “ Order the 14 passengers,” yep, this is that talk. Future’s voice and this beat takes me back to DS2. Southside doesn’t make trap beats, he makes audio military weaponry. My arms shot up like I was on a roller coaster when the beat dropped. Ah, he’s starting the song with a spirited, “ Yeah, hoe” it’s already a classic Atlanta banger.
