      the second you start talking GOAT is when lyricism get's analyzed. record sales don't trigger GOAT conversations, lyricism does.
      if the conversation is about being a GOAT at the pop trap level, then it may be possible, but at the overall rap level....HELL NO!

    I think he is the embodiment of when hopelessness that your situation will change eventually leads to you changing. I think this is what a lot of people especially young men feel.”If my situation is messed up and won’t change no matter what. If people are still gonna hate me. If I’m still gonna lose the people I want Why change ? I’d rather keep doing what I’m good at and see where it gets me.” It’s unfortunate but the lack of options to take, lack of forgiveness to be had for others creates people like this. There is no redemption, no improvement, no empathy for you. The only thing that’s left for you to fall back on is money, drugs, women, and jewelry. So you dive head first into that lifestyle. The person that comes out of that lifestyle is not the same one that went in. This new person, is a monster…

    I think Future is one of the most underrated artists in the world. People see him as another Drake, a big artist with lots of hits and no depth. But he revolutionized rap to such a degree that you can barely tell because everyone else sounds exactly like him. Beyond that, from Monster to DS2 to Purple Reign to something completely off the wall like SAVE ME, Future's artistry is so diverse and much of it is timeless. It's kind of hard to express, but there's an ethereal, darkly beautiful quality to his music that no one else really captures. I don't know how Future isn't in the Big 3 conversation because he's absolutely a better artist than two of them.

I’ve been listening to his 1000 mixtape since 2012. Only his true day one fans, up until this point, really know about that one. It has almost felt like being in the back corner of a building while the whole crowd is somewhere else, but now all of a sudden everybody has shown up to see what 1000 is all about. Shit is timeless, and Future has been a huge impact on me since before I became an adult.

      Future has always had a distinct sound. He is methodical about trying new things, and is very often successful with using more alternative sounds. People like Future and Young Thug have inspired so many rappers but no one has been able to replicate what they do which keeps their sound fresh.

I thought he was the same age as YC when I heard "Racks."

    This video is giving me inspiration. I just released my debut EP and I am about to turn 30 years old. It is great to see Future's story about how he took time to develop his style and he didn't blow up until his late 20's! Goes to show you that you can achieve great things by chasing your dreams.

    I've always been in awe of his decade long peak, his 2014 - 2016 era defining run but seeing his come up and how his background played a big role in the modern day hip hop/trap scene. 👍🔥

    Very well said. Excellent write up from a top 0.01% of Future 🥤 listeners on Spotify. 10/10. I rock with this. Keep doing these.
