Future Says He Doesn't Listen To Hip-Hop, Has Not Heard Kendrick Lamar's "Control" Verse

[<<TheStandard>>]

Honestly you'd be surprised, many of these rappers & producers live in their own worlds.......I have a friend who did a lot of production on John Legend's new album and there's so much new hip hop he hasn't heard because he's busy working on his own shyt. I hear other producers and rappers say the same.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

To be fair, that is his profession



When most of you poor ass nukkas get home from scrubbing toilets or mopping floors all day, do you change clothes, pop the top on a #struggle bottle of cheap liquor, and start scrubbing your own toilets and mopping your floors at home?

i know what you're doing with this but i know you know that's a terrible example. i'm not saying future does or doesn't, but it's different with entertainment


you think nfl players go play a game, then on days off don't watch film of other teams playing games?

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

ya its honestly pretty fukking stupid.
the fact that rappers these days think theyre cooler then the artform does not bode well for hip hop

true, we're the idiot consumers for listening and enjoying a product they think they're too good to listen to in their off time. how do we even fukking get here


aint no love for the game no more

 

[Offthegrid]

its believable in way cus he is in the studio n doin shows 247 so the only time he gets to hear otha folks music besides his label mates and homies is if he is at the club or riding around. he also mite onky listen to atl type music non hip hop shyt n maybe r&b shyt which influences his writing style. im the same way i be to caught up in my own shyt or my homies shyt. i dont even listen to chicago drill music like dat i mite bump a couple songs but other then dat if i hear drill music its either if im at da club party or riding with my homies. all these rappers have diff influences. future bump young scooter music b4 kendrick lamar cus dats his homie n his music n style inflences

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I don't believe him. He HAS to listen to what hot in hip hop today

 

[Future]

Future barely gonna crack 100k first week.

Watch.

He will.

 

[emoney]

if rappers are not listening to what they themselves are selling

then

WHY SHOULD WE?

 

[MoneyBags]

who cares, the nikka is ass

That's probably a worse example, since that's half of a players week between games in the NFL, studying film to prep for the next opponent. Rappers don't need to do that shyt.


I think you said you are from Europe though right? We forgive you, Y'all ain't about that Football Degrassi life

 

[CrimsonTider]

Crazy how no rapper listens to hip hop, but they only collab with other rappers and hip hop producers..

Smh, clown ass nigggas

I think they are telling the truth from an artistic point of view

I could imagine listening to a lot of hiphop could throw of your creative process.

I don't believe him. He HAS to listen to what hot in hip hop today

They are always partying

 

[No Homo]

yall so simple.

He doesnt have to listen to rap 24/7 to know whats going on and whats hot. Like the dude isnt in the clubs hearing whats being played.

 

[Canada Goose]

Please, you don't actually buy into that shyt do you?

It's just a way for rappers to avoid giving props to other rappers without appearing to be confrontational.

Plus rap is a 9-5 now? or did you miss the endless reruns of cribs where all those rappers showed the studios in their houses?

Maybe they don't want to commute to a studio from there house breh

bro.
These nikkas say they dont listen to hip hop AT ALL.
Meaning, 24/7, 365, they never put on a rap song to listen to...
you expect me to believe that?

i'm from va fall back


i gave u a bad example for a bad example

 

[Wild self]

I mean, who wants to listen to hip hop in a year where "boring" dudes prosper without a proper party track, but the "trill" rappers keep flopping?

Future needs to step up his game in order to survive the transition.
