Future: Everybody Just Wants To Copy, No One Wants To Be Trendsetters

[Drip Bayless]

Bruh
Because you use autotune that makes you a T pain biter now
Is Jay Electronica biting Wu Tang by using five percenter slang?
Was Kanye biting RZA with sped up soul samples?
Yall gotta learn the difference between being influenced and being a biter

 

[King Sun]

Right

Future was the first of his kind and he sonned a lot of newer gen rappers

T Pain Weezy or Will.i.am doing autotune isnt even comparable

All of the mentioned artist did thia before him and waa more successful at it

Maybe autotune but not the same impact influence content or image

Future capitalized on what they pioneered

How sway? is that when future can't even crack platinum or have a 1 record. A clone of his got to 1# before he did too . Not only that his whole image is lifted from the screw houston rappers . I know you guys like him and I like some of his songs but facts are facts.

 

[King Sun]

Also the issue I have is that he thinks hes a trendsetter when everything hes doing now has already been done. T PAIN alone made people in all music to start using it on a mainstream level

 

[mortuus est]

No one is trying to copy anything about Kendrick

From his hair to alien voices

Future built off Futuristic Leland Austin's swag most of all but he took it in a new and exciting direction so it's all love

facts though. LA and J-Money birthed all these dudes low key. But future was working with J-Money before he did his own thing so it was only natural. Scooter, Future, J-Money - the Black Amigo Gang
You gotta admit...we'll, I can admit, being from NY that when I first heard future in like early 2010 I had never really heard anyone like him before. When he came out with the original 3 peat in 2011 I was like "this is crazy" . I don't get the T-Pain comparisons at all either... don't hear em. by the time future came around there were a ton of other people doing sing songy auto-tune raps. future was different and thats a fact

I get thinking about what LA and J-money are doing now though. LA fighting off rumors that he isn't even alive. I think J-Money had to fight a molestation charge There were some other dudes from Atlanta around 2009'ish that were kinda set to blow too that are now Maceo (another one of futures homies), Kirby (not talking about Drake), Lil Hot.. what happen to those dudes?
what about Kucklehead the producer?? What about KE on the track

Can't crack platinum?

Now y'all talking about Houston?

Y'all don't know what to believe anymore

Kendrick is a bite of every hof top flight emcee moment from 93 till now.

So, I can not honor that at all.
All kendrick records are a lyrical and delivery based Bite and hodge podge of the highest selling artist or so called dopest from ruthless records till now.

Art Barr

Damn. As far as delivery the way I see it africans by nature reverberate the same "isms" through time, as each generation comes and goes. But this is the music industry and he's on interscope and under dre's wing, so bet. It seems like drake's exposal was really a worldwide industry exposal, which is why the whole industry got quiet as fukk, or played hopscotch around interview ghostwriting questions...

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Future is CLEARLY one of the most influential rappers of this era, why do ppl front so much when it comes to giving credit?

 

[010101]

every artist is a amalgamation of their inspirations and influences
"original" isn't a real thing
what i will say is nikkas all studying the same blueprints
they move the same way because they're listening/watching the same things
pulling from a small low quality pool of inspiration
plus they aren't trained artist/musicians they are well paid amateurs who just go by feel

So future has platinum albums? or even hits . I know you like him as an artist but im giving facts and its even off what im saying its been proven

 

[North]

French and Tru Life said Future sounded like Juvenile

I noticed this before

but he he shows homage by referencing a lot of soulja rag b.g. hot boys lingo and subject matter he even had only a juvi feature in beast mode
its is what it is hot boys def have had a large influence on atl and that's what he grew up on

So future has platinum albums? or even hits . I know you like him as an artist but im giving facts and its even off what im saying its been proven

ds2 platinum

3 solo plat hits of 6 plat hits

Gold & Platinum - RIAA
