Those were hood joints that were poppin in the clubs... at that point he was just seen as a club banger kinda dude... now he's known as an official artist who puts out dope material, on a national level. :yeshrug:

Future is a crooner not a rapper.


This.
Anyway, future really is not a real emcee like that and his is more vybz kartel/rkelly, in auto tune.
Plus, a product of bpm's and pretty much etching out his own genre.
Before he regulated himself by making it into just a trap heavy genre.
Instead of its own thing that it was originally.
Well couple those mistakes with a good run.
Of well put together track list releases all back to back.
That feature an evolution of the roller rink triple six mafia ATL rendition style flows. That were streamlined and allowed the migos to catch fire as the standard lyric base in rap.
That future has excelled in.
All because biting has become legal in this realm and his genre.
Where in a Borg like think tank.
Future has been able to take every racks on racks biter flow and melody made song.
Then streamline it all into his own brand of evolved work from off of a legion of biter racks records as well.
Which has also spawned new regional genres and never given proper credit to future
Couple that with incredible output.
That eclipses everyone else biting in the genre.
using the busta rhymes meets fiddy mixtape saturation method being employed.
Plus, in the wake of the whole Ciara/Russell wilson/lil future pr thing.
Then it is literally, the denzel as a villainous cop boom GIF.

What makes you think this is some quick come up?

He's been at this for nearly 5 years.

this. even longer actually. i remember a guest verse from him from like 09 on one of j-money's mixtapes. he was on the national radar with dirty sprite 1 and already had a local buzz with "watch this"

after true story came out, drake hopped on Tony Montana for a remix kinda like he did with Tuesday, My Way, etc... . TI hopped on aint no way around it for a remix. him and drake did a tour back then too. he was taking off. these last few mixtapes just woke up the people who werent paying any attention.

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:

Exactly

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:

had this hipster crowd turnt :whoo:


First off I was in that "hipster" crowd and that footage don't give it justice. Hipster or not he had that bit lit :banderas:

This wasn't.... peaked at #9 on Billboard.


Lowkey, people were so busy discrediting Future cause he was only making music for the clubs and car,was from Atlanta,glorified drug use, or wasn't making conventional rapper music.... that they missed that he's been putting out quality shyt for a long ass time.

:ehh: pretty much spot on. only thing i'd disagree with is the ciara thing because noone gives a fucc about a ciara pre/during or post their relationship.
