I think Future is one of the most underrated artists in the world. People see him as another Drake, a big artist with lots of hits and no depth. But he revolutionized rap to such a degree that you can barely tell because everyone else sounds exactly like him. Beyond that, from Monster to DS2 to Purple Reign to something completely off the wall like SAVE ME, Future's artistry is so diverse and much of it is timeless. It's kind of hard to express, but there's an ethereal, darkly beautiful quality to his music that no one else really captures. I don't know how Future isn't in the Big 3 conversation because he's absolutely a better artist than two of them.

I think he is the embodiment of when hopelessness that your situation will change eventually leads to you changing.

If I’m still gonna lose the people I want Why change ? I’d rather keep doing what I’m good at and see where it gets me.” It’s unfortunate but the lack of options to take, lack of forgiveness to be had for others creates people like this. There is no redemption, no improvement, no empathy for you. The only thing that’s left for you to fall back on is money, drugs, women, and jewelry. So you dive head first into that lifestyle. The person that comes out of that lifestyle is not the same one that went in. This new person, is a monster…

“He’s been making music before I was born” Holy shit I’m getting old.

[@Force_RC21]

Every now and then, I get an itch to listen to his music, but whenever I go find that music in other places, Gunna, Thug, 21, etc. It just doesn't scratch the itch. And that's not to say those guys are bad by any means. It's just to say that there is only and will only ever be one Future.

[@RussianWoodRo]

That Thug quote hurts honestly seeing how it aged... Damn

[@vlone3858]

Future is definitely in the goat realm for the past decade 🙌 consistent bangers, under the radar but maintains relevance, evolution in each album and always trying new shxt

[@ablexx]

solo is one of the greatest songs by future, that slow singing “i been going solo now” is one of the best things ever, on top of that cloudy, repetitive beat that just puts you in such an unexplainable “3 am alone” mood, perfect song

[@JeiceFr]

I feel like only real future fans know that he belongs in the big three but it gets dismissed because everyone thinks his music isn’t art.

[@joshwelch5837]

I’d put him top 5 personally, but I’m from the BR area lol

[@JeiceFr]

@@joshwelch5837 type shi i grew up in atl so future been in my ears sense i was a kid it didnt really start to get his music till i was older fr

[@dripson6824]

Future really is one of the greatest, most influential rappers of our time. And he is showing no signs of slowing down

[@DatDaDatty]

Who is Future? For the blind, he is light. For the hungry, he is bread. For the sick, he is the cure. For the sad, he is joy. For the poor, he is the treasure.

[@datfyer1970]

Not even close

How you skip over Purple Reign? 😢

Can’t cover it all sometimes you forget but definitely understood 😏

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Purple Reign

[@ttpp374]

Future comparing his achievements to Hendrix At age 27 reminds me of Julius Caesar doing the exact same thing with Alexander the Great who had conquered The known world by Caesars age. Both future and Caesar surpassed their idols

[@cirocardose5112]

Good video dawg… watched it whole… and I don’t really be watching long videos at all, props 🙌👌

[@Kosher93]

This documentary can be summed up by Future’s line in Look Ahead. The intro to Honest: “Never sacrifice who you are Then you turn yourself into a star Turned myself into a avatar”

[@augustusmuteb1336]

This is actually a culturally important video because people really try and group Future in with these "Minute-made" artists and downplay his greatness

[@SimplyMarcusAli]

Future has been my favorite rapper since 2010 ppl looked at me like I was crazy 😂. This was a great watch thank you!

[@mannmann314]

Same fam. Lol the homies always got annoyed cause I always wanted to play the burned future cd in the whip 😂

[@dc7424]

Yep dirty sprite, 1000 it’s amazing to see where he at now but I knew it. Been listening to this dude for 14 years

[@Noblauw1330]

I did not expect this to be so damn motivating. Even more respect for future and now also for you volksgeist

[@leonl5679]

You received a follower! Really good video, cant wait to watch more

[@malike875]

March Madness original story is crazy

[@GetPrettyWithPuff]

56 Nights too!

[@TracyJerome-l5r]

What are they???

[@GetPrettyWithPuff]

@@TracyJerome-l5r the story of 56 Nights happened when Future and DJ Esco were in Abu Dabi and DJ Esco got arrested and locked up for 56 nights. unfortunately, DJ Esco had a hard drive full of Futures music he had recorded for the past 2 years. they didn't know when he was gonna get out so Future had to go record Beast Mode with Zaytoven. listen to "Know The Meaning" on DS2! it'll explain some of it lyrically lol

[@neame-bh3uq]

@@TracyJerome-l5r DJ Esco was arrested in Dubai and held in jail for 56 nights, his harddrive that contained all of the 56 nights mixtape was seized. The only song Future could remember off the drive was March Madness.

[@emmanuela7528]

@@neame-bh3uqAnd he kept humming it to himself so he would remember it and re-record it. It’s also the story behind Kno The Meaning

[@RoyaLClaNAus]

The fact that Future has been in the game for so long and is STILL topping the charts and showing no signs of falling off is crazy. As much as they will hate to admit it, sooner or later people will have to give him a spot in the big 3

[@SelfBae]

This is the documentary I didn’t know I needed

[@Krispy907]

9:51 In hallucinating he said sum like “freshest thing that I ever bought was that Bentley truck” 🔥🔥

[@Honeycreations22]

I’ve always been a future fan but I feel like your video made me into a brand new fan with a different insight when I hear those songs now ❤❤ you definitely gained a new subscriber

[@cokoblackk]

Agreed 💯💯

[@Valanci555]

You Know someone is good at something, when they make it look easy.

[@GoldMoufP]

Idc what anybody gotta say about it but that Honest album by future was a classic fr most underrated album he ever dropped damn near the most underrated album period by a major artist. I've been saying this since it dropped in 2014. That album layed the base foundation of future's still current melodic sound

[@wyntur_]

Bro move that dope was my favorite song as a kid when it came out

[@jessicalule1632]

Exactly!!!!

[@hitopstl]

I remember when Same Damn Time dropped. finding out he was making music for years before that is crazy. I think a lot of us saw him as younger than he was, and that helped him out. I thought he was the same age as YC when I heard "Racks." I appreciate the criticism that future acts younger than he is, especially with the "I never liked you" album, but it feels like he's playing a role that is 10-15 years younger than his real life.

[@therealbrxndon]

7:17 “ get my grandma to sell my dope that ain’t a lie” future - never stop

[@spencerwilson4221]

I’m 27 I’ve been listening to future my entire life. This video gave me chills. Multiple times. But he didn’t mention codeine crazy. Arguably his best song

[@rocimasa]

Thank you! Been waiting on you do dis THIS one!!

[@drnerdypants]

This video made me feel for future in a way I never saw the guy. Love your shit man

[@lostinyonkers914]

Damn that quote from Thug is crazy cuz he said he’s making music to avoid from getting a fed charge and all these years later he still end up catching that fed charge. Smh

[@Buzzizoven]

You know that Future has truly made it to the top when fans start digging far into his musical past such as his songs “Statistics” with Big Rube. I’ve been listening to his 1000 mixtape since 2012. Only his true day one fans, up until this point, really know about that one. It has almost felt like being in the back corner of a building while the whole crowd is somewhere else, but now all of a sudden everybody has shown up to see what 1000 is all about. Shit is timeless, and Future has been a huge impact on me since before I became an adult.
