This sums it up almost perfectly. Future is by no means a great lyricist on a technical level but everything he says he says it in a way that's memorable.Future's music has a lot of soul, it's hard to explain. It's like an audible journal and you can hear the pain and emotion in his voice. It's hard to explain. Every now and then he'll drop a lyric with some substance,(eg. 'i disguise pain when I make it rain') but I think cats be going overboard, calling his music gospels and such. I'm hoping that's a running joke.
He makes ignorant music (put your dirty cape down, son refers to his own music as ignorant) and has a gritty charisma that is mysteriously enchanting. He also picks amazing beats that match his voice very well.
It's like you can feel his tragedy and his triumph, and people can relate to that.
"rich ****a since birth, Louis V chinchilla/just bought a brand new Rover, drive it like a 4 wheeler". J Cole coulda spit that same verse and I wouldn't give a good got damn about it.
Future spits it and I'm forgetting about the bs that went down at work this week and contemplating pulling up in the range Rover dealership".
His work won't resonate with everyone, if you don't like him, you probably never will. Dude dude just comes off as authentic and either you roll with that or you don't.
Codeine crazy for example; he's not using complex rhyme schemes or any serious lyrical skills but yet this song remains a masterpiece because of some real **** he's saying and the way he's delivering those bars.
Hands down my favorite artist ever.
