Outside of the song “Peekaboo,” which has a killer beat and features Migos, the album just looks and sounds two-dimensional. What could have been an interesting, introspective album turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year. He is one of the most popular rappers out there after he blew up in 2016, and therefore a lot of weight was on his shoulders in the period leading up to the release of “Teenage Emotions,” his first album. There was a lot of pressure on Lil Yachty this year. “FUTURE” is thus a compilation of individual club bangers, and not much more. It shows that Future is ultimately good at releasing a lot of low-quality trap music for fan service, so therefore he also doesn’t put a lot of thought into his songs individually and his albums as a whole. Furthermore, the release of “HNDRXX” just a week after “FUTURE” was released was supposed to be seen as an amazing feat for the Atlanta MC, but I actually think it discredits “FUTURE” as an album. No one can forget “Mask Off,” his most popular song ever so far, but besides that, I don’t think anyone can name five other good songs on the album. Besides that, most of the songs on the album are simply forgettable and all sound alike. Future is one of the frontrunners in the mumble rap movement, so for him to say anything profound or lyrically clever is naturally out of the box. While his second album this year, “HNDRXX,” was a great project, his self-titled album “FUTURE” was pretty dull. The Atlanta rapper released two major projects back to back in February and topped the year off with a mixtape with Young Thug. How a trash rapper like Lil Pump got MC’s like Rick Ross and 2 Chainz on his album is a mystery to me, but one thing is for sure: his self-titled album is absolute garbage and should not be championed by anyone who truly cares about hip-hop culture.Ģ017 was a big year for Future. Lil Pump is also by far the poorest lyricist of 2017, as he often repeats phrases in his songs, which are songs with an average length of about two minutes. None of the beats he raps over are good, not even the beat on his most famous song “Gucci Gang.” They’re composed lazily and designed to be part of club banger songs. His abhorrent behavior is one thing, but his music is something else. He is simply taking advantage of the culture that has literally saved the lives of others. This kid is finessing every hip-hop fan by somehow making millions of dollars off of saying nothing that reflects depth or relevancy over beats that are absolute trash. Lil Pump is a culture vulture, there is no way around it.
