Album has held up lovely.

from start to finish, this album flows perfectly. Easy going, fun spirited and introspective lyrics/songwriting over funky/r&b/jazzy production. :blessed:


Sex Packets is their magnum opus but Future Rhythm is my favorite Digital Underground album. Album should've gotten 5 mics



the singles/music videos:




Love all of the samples on here from Prince to Loose Ends to Funakdelic/Sly Stone and interpolation of Funkadelic

"glooty-us-maximus" contains samples of the following songs/interpolation of Cosmic Slop:





"fool get a clue" samples the following song:


"oregano flow" samples the following:

Great thread. This album was never going to get 5 mics from The Source regardless of how good it is. Think about it, NOTHING from 1995 or 1996 got 5 mics. Between 1994 and 1997, Only Illmatic and Life After Death received 5 mics out the gate. Even when The Source re-reviewed albums, only four albums combined from 1995 and 1996 were re-rated at 5 mics (Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me, The Score, and Reasonable Doubt).

Among the best of 1996, this Digital Undergound album is unsung, as it's a lot of albums from that year that people would put in over this. Takes nothing away from it, but it is what it is.
