That Future album is boring as hell cuz

But I'm cool anytime an actual artist who makes their music does well so go Fewch

 

[Chris Cool]

i hope fire marshal say some slick shyt about thug. don't know what the fukk he was thinking going at super.

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

Well, I greatly underestimated the Future momentum.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Wiz should have never come at Yeezy, bruh dug his own grave

 

[MaxBundles]

Man don't act like Future did those numbers organically. Them Apple Music streams helped that boy out tremendously

 

[MufasaChoppa]

fukk future fukure

 

[Prince Akeem]

Thug's numbers baffle me

Not really.

How many "hot" rappers have we seen not do numbers when it came down to buying the album? Quite a few.

 

[wire28]

Good numbers for thug, I thought he would be in the 0-5K range being that nobody cares about him and he is a gimmicky loser

I him.

On the other hand, Future Vandross continues to eat and the winning streak continues
