The rise of Future? How did he beome a star?

[emoney]

he's one rapper I never really followed or checked for but I was browsing yesterday and saw he has a couple of youtube videos that are in the millions. I also see that he has a new single with Kelly Rowland and these two things (views and collabo with an r&b star) makes me sit up and pay attention.

so can someone fill me in on the rise of Future......like what happened between Tony Montana (suppose to be his one hit wonder) to now that is responsible for his position? is he a one hit wonder or is he established artist that is here to stay? am I over-rating him? under-rating him? Is he an industry plant?

are u serious???......did u just start listening to rap 2 months ago??

dude....his "DIRTY SPRITE" mixtape is what jumpstarted his stardom long before that TONY MONTANA single....

he had a street buzz.........do you even listen to mixtapes??

or your just a COMMERCIAL RADIO HEAD?

his album was an odd scenario, the singles actually picked up long after the rls date. he only did like 50k 1st week, but is now getting play that your top tier mainstream artist is getting

hes in an enviable position, because the radio plays his shyt and the streets are itchin for that SuperFuture mixtape also. his next album will easily do triple what Pluto did, imo. i think this is the start of a pretty strong run for dude

Add in his feature on Rihanna new album as well.
But Future wasnt a one hit wonder cause he's talented, dude can write his ass off.

he's charismatic and his hook/melody game is undeniable
