its mindblowing.. he obviously got the black/hispanic crowd on lock . but he's been able to tap into the white/college hipster/asian crowd as well. that's all these folks play out here. :jbhmm:

And I'm an old geezer who grew up on Spice 1, Wu Tang, Pac, The Luniz, The Pharcyde, Boot Camp Click.. but I fukks with Future :banderas:

Its crazy cause I literally saw the run take place before my eyes. I saw the reaction and fan fare level off every month. Dont let these hypebeasts fool ya. The answer to your question is this:

When this shyt dropped, it changed the whole perspective of what Future was doing. This shyt was so cold, It made motherfukkas go back and check out Monster and Beastmode again. Combine that with the fact that he was releasing video's for those two previous projects every week, all the hype, fandom, undeniable bangers, visuals, and love all combusted at once.


It was literally March Madness

A chorus and mixtape run will do that. Drop mixes that everyone fukks with, then do features on everyone's choruses. Cats get used to your diction no matter how incoherent it is if/when they gotta listen to it on catchy chorus after catchy chorus. That sets you up for your own shyt. shyt it would cure Wale's issues. Well that and going to the gym lmao nikkas hate when they think a nikka soft this is america

Honestly, I feel like it started with Move that dope. He had some hits before but move that Dope got peoples attention than he went on to drop 5 straight fire mixtape/album.

People can''t help not get crunked up when fuk up some commas play in the club.

Fukc up some commas was on Beast Mode. I heard that shyt in the club but never really thought it was him but you right that mixtape made me check out Beastmode, Layup cause I stop checking future like that after the mixtape with "thats my hoe 2".

He rode T-Pains wave and put his own twist on it. Added a more street/trap element to auto tune. Add the fact that he promoted the usage of lean, loud, pills, molly etc. pumped out some fire catchy ass hooks and aligned himself with heavy hitters in the industry:ehh:
Out of the 4peat he had 3 features on all of it combined. :usure: The heavy hitters came to him :dame:
