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. I think this is what a lot of people especially young men feel.”If my situation is messed up and won’t change no matter what. If people are still gonna hate me. 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…

In some way, on some level, we all relate to future. That’s what makes his music so special.

March Madness original story is crazy

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

@@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.

Whenever I listen to Future for a certain period of time eventually the thought that pops into my head is how can someone be so real and such a G. The things he says and does are just too real and badass.

Future is unironically the most consistent rapper of the last decade. He’s in the goat conversation of hip hop

[@redhunnid5142]

He literally has Lebron James longevity of the rap game

[@poindextertunes]

I’m not even a fan but what about Drake tho? I personally think he’s an industry plant but he’s been a star ever since those Sprite commercials and he never fell off seemingly

[@MargielaGAT]

@@poindextertunes I think where people differentiate is that Drake switched to a Pop-Rap sound. Something easy to listen to with no real distinction. Once his 'Views' album got him household name status, pretty much everything he's done since then is basically another version of that album. Future has always had a distinct sound. He is methodical about trying new things, and is very often successful with using more alternative sounds. People like Future and Young Thug have inspired so many rappers but no one has been able to replicate what they do which keeps their sound fresh.

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.

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

[@hadialjeiroudi2715]

The story-telling is INSANE, great video, great conclusions, amazing presentation. Love the work you put into the video, its production, and the project as a whole. I watched the entire video and it felt like minutes, I'll study you and you magneticism, because you sucked me into the story by the first sentence you said. Amazing job!

[@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.

[@rocimasa]

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

[@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

[@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”

[@JaneezyFr]

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
