What most people don't realize is that he's also the most

misunderstood

artist of our time, a movie I have, just stay focused, you know, because it's not an art, if it's easy to do, that's what it is. bad right now everyone's trying to rap the same style with the uh I don't know who created it if it was Future Amigos but they all sound the same.

There's a reason Future not only created the pop trap wave but also survived it. More than a meme, it's not a trend at all. Future has been making music since before I was born, he spent over 20 years perfecting the art of songwriting in vocal delivery, a

story

most people wouldn't understand if they only listened to his biggest hits, he doesn't just make songs science and his understanding of people in business learned over decades have taken him from a struggling artist with 300 fans to more than 50 million monthly listeners. So what can we learn from the

future

and how can we follow in its footsteps to create our own meaningful and impactful stories?

I'm Philip, this is volksgeist and you are seeing the true

story

of the

future

The complicated thing about knowing Future History is that it hides in plain sight, much like its lyrics. The lyricist himself can be difficult to understand. He really didn't let people into my world. You have to keep something for yourself. You can't just let everyone know everything. about you because when you watch almost all of his interviews there are subtle deviations or just plain contradictions in many of his statements, it's almost as if he says something different depending on who he's talking to, even a journalist like Elliot Wilson, whose future has been known for a long time.

Time tells that he is generally fun and easy to talk to, but as soon as the taped interview begins, something in him changes and talking to the future becomes a game of chess, but forget about Elliot Wilson, even the future himself. This man said, the person I am, man, I can't. I even really talk about it, I can't let him pee me. I'm telling you that half of what I tell you may be half the truth, but it may not be, man, in a minute he'll say that's really the person in his lyrics. but then he'll say this, you know what I mean.

I'm not like a super high drug addict. My music can represent a certain type of image. I know there are some people who might be super high and listen to the music. Hey, thanks, you speak for me and some people don't, they feel like men, I don't have to do drugs. I can listen in the future and feel like I'm on to something like they don't have to try to do it for you. To really have to live that kind of life, sometimes he will say that he doesn't need to change his Persona to appeal to his fans, don't be afraid to be yourself if you are doing what you think people would like instead of doing. what you like, people will see through it, make music that I know people want, I know they want retirement, you talk a lot about drugs in your music, yeah, because I feel like that's the number one thing everyone talks, so why do we really do it?

I want to know who the future is not because it's a witch hunt, but if an artist's music ranks as the fifth most played of the entire decade it means that there is something in the mix that we identify with deep down, even if We don't know, maybe it's the case that something about the future is deeply human and good or bad, it really speaks to us, it doesn't achieve its level of lasting popularity by simply being passively entertaining or a momentary trend. The future has not only had a good rap career but one of the longest in modern history why and how someone has what it takes to achieve such unlikely feet who you have to be to become larger than life with future is really difficult to say that there are so many inconsistencies in his words is the future "Does the world now truly know him or is it a method and a plan, maybe there is also a pain that he avoids by blurring who he really is," he said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2016, you come into this world and make two lives, you have to make the most of your second life.

I was born this way, but now I am the future. I have to think about what it was supposed to be. I get to experience life as something more. It wasn't supposed to be like this, so before we can understand the future. we have to meet adus if he didn't know the future when I met him he definitely wouldn't have been the future I don't think music itself would have happened for him you just heard a quote from Rico Wade Future's older cousin. but more than just being Future's cousin, he was also part of the production.

The trio organized the noise that discovered Outcast and produced their debut album. He also started the Dungeon Family Collective, whose members, in addition to Outcast, included Goody Mob Killer Mike and many other Atlanta legends. artists Rico Wade is so influential on his own that some people have called the future an industrial plant just because he is related to it. The future describes Rico as a father figure and he agrees that he would never have seriously made music, much less become successful, without Rico's help. influence Rico is like my cousin, but he took me in, played more of a father role to Fig.

He was always dead support for the most part, but just being related to Rico Wade doesn't make the future a baby nepo like some. People seem to think that real history is like all real stories, just a little more complicated than that future. Nadus Deon Wilburn was born in the winter of 1983. Wilburn was his mother's last name because his father wasn't even present to sign his birth certificate. In a 2016 interview, we learn that Nas' first dream job as a child was to be an architect or a doctor, but as we know now, he was gradually pushed down a different path because the future grew up poor in Atlanta, one of the toughest areas of the city.

Hit by the crack epidemic of the '80s and '90s, when Future was just a kid in elementary school, the world around him was suffering. His mother, who worked full-time as a 911 operator, was opposed to drugs, even cutting ties with him. Later in life, after discovering that he was selling drugs on the street, but even though his mother did her best, almost everyone else around Nadus was involved in crime and drugs. I had several aunts and uncles who did drugs when you grow up in something you don't even know if it's good or bad, you just know that's what it is when you realize that's the kind of life you're born into.

A career like that of an architect or doctor may seem impossible, possibly very far away, and in a short time, the future was swept away. He got into a powerful tide and started dealing drugs to make money in a place like downtown Atlanta, there is often no other way during this time in Deus' life. A drug addict named Fred often took him to school whenever his family couldn't and while he was at school his grandmother handled drug transactions with her clients at her house. He was later shot in the hand at the age of 16 and dropped out of high school without completing grade 12 at the age of 17 around the year 1999 or 2000 nadus.

He managed to meet his famous producer cousin Rico Wade for the first time, but Rico dismissed him thinking he was just a con man or a con man from Kirkwood posing as his cousin for influence, but months later they met again at the funeral of a shared uncle and Rico Wade realized that they were actually cousins. He needed me to be by my side because I want to know who my uncle Bo is he said that's my grandfather, who is my uncle Willie. I want to know everything about my family. They all got locked up when We were young, that's my dad and I wanted the more I knew about him, the more he would know about me.

The compensation was that he was a stop. He was already rapping before she met him, but now she got the chance to see that he is real. and since he my family was like I'm going to give you I'm going to give you the game I'm going to give you everything I know how to really know and start getting closer to Rico Wade gave us hope and motivation for a good life that before seemed impossible for someone like him I come from the neighborhood and I go straight to Rico's house he got maids and I didn't even eat them in a good restaurant until I left with Rico you know what I'm saying I never knew that anyone was legal and that he made money for him my cousin Rico, someone who had really achieved his dreams and dreamed and one day they came to life like me.

I never really took it for granted. I was never like. I was always a cousin. Know? What I'm saying I never felt like it was the future, but before he found success, he almost blew this opportunity the first time I went to the dungeon, my uncle died. I went there, but I made a song like it was a verse on a hook. but I was really embarrassed to do it because there were so many people in the studio and they acted like oh I was just his cousin, I was just trying to claim, I was trying to get fame, they didn't really want me here so I never came.

I went back to the dungeon and then my other uncle died like 3 months later, so I thought I like it, man, forget what they even think about me, how they look at me. I'm still coming, I'm never going back to Kurtwood, so. I stayed there. I won't be back for another year. I stayed at his house. I never left if they looked at me crazy or something. I still like him man. I won't leave this time. I will not leave. everyone else there was about 10 years older than him and the story goes that at one point a member of the dungeon family named g-rock said without thinking, man, you're the future and at that moment a casual joke about his age gave origin to a musical future.

Superstar who would far surpass the success of everyone in the room, in general, a lot of people assume that trap rappers may not be serious artists or businessmen just because of their loud and flashy personas, but I always remember that time, Young Thug, from 19 years. He gave insightful marketing comments in a Reddit thread like 10 years ago, within 30 seconds of rapping, how often do you mention clubs, expensive cars, and not drinking at all? In the first 30 seconds, everyone knows you want to wait for 45C Mark's penis to arrive and I never do. mentioned an expensive car at anything for what it's worth I make products for a certain audience and I'm good at supply and demand simple economics I don't do this because I love the attention I do this because I have a certain skill set that allows me to get paid without the threat of spending federal time and similarly today there is a perception that the future will be a larger than life cartoon character who has no deeper story or technique behind the music he makes, but that doesn't it could be more. from reality, in the future it took a lot of practice and knowledge to get to where it is now, this is what he said in a 2014 interview, only the ogs know that little children don't really understand, they only hear what they want to hear, but everything is okay.

I know the people who understand the music and know where it comes from. At the time he was turning 31 and his second studio album had just come out, but since the age of 18 Future has been working on the craft of songwriting and even production. -I stopped learning not only from his cousin Rico Wade, but also from everyone else who came to work at Rico Studio from a young age. He got to see legendary artists at work, people like Andre 3000 Goody Mob Killer Mike, even Trey's songs, Snoop Dogg, the ridiculous IT at At this stage, obviously, he was just a fly on the wall, quite young, not very confident, he didn't even try to network or say much, but he was learning all the time that the artistic ethos of the Dungeon family was to give the people what they wanted, but still be.

The most creativeand different possible, each member of the dungeon had a different style. I think that maybe that's what helped everyone have a different style because if you come in, you'll get those characteristics like you can Faith and be on On everyone's album they had something different and in the future they took notes, you can hear it on their influences. Yes, he has always been a rapper, but he has been more than a little inspired by other musical styles and artists such as Barry White, Anita Baker, Marvin Gay, Curtis Mayfield, even as a future child he has spoken of being in love with listening to his grandmother sing Amazing Grace around the house.

I know the essence of this. “I studied melodic songs like Amazing Grace and the pain involved,” he says before humming the chorus. It just feels like pain. struggle I recognize the pain through Melody and it naturally comes out of me sometimes some of you don't even believe me when I say that Future's favorite song of all time is I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston which he has talked about .I am always drawn to melodies that are simple but deep and moving. In one of his last songs, he had the line "All this pain." I can't even rap it.

Sometimes I feel like I want to sing. Learning this about Future's backstory completely changed my outlook. His techniques as a rapper, knowing that his signature crazy rap style wasn't born as a commercial move calculated to be trendy or innovate in music, makes for a pretty powerful story. His style began as the human impulse to sing comforting melodies to himself through his struggles. Since he was a child alone, he makes the future make a lot more sense, but as we know, it took a long time for the future to fuse these ideas effectively with his own voice and find the confidence to become a star.

His first song was from 2003 called Belly of the Beast, yes, 2003, and when we opened UPS, we were surprised that back then, in 2003, the future that used to be called Meathead when he rapped sounded almost exactly like Andre 3000 and while he was still practicing some The Dungeon family members he was with noticed that he was getting good at creating hooks and melodies and in 2004 he got his first songwriting credit for the hook of the ridiculous song Blueberry Yum Yum, yes that's right, future one of the most popular rappers alive in 2024. he has been working in the music industry for over 20 years if you are 20 or 21 years old watching this video Future's music career is older than you, but despite his growing talent and significant industry connections before he saw any success, Future First had to go through 7 years of failure starting at the age of 20 Future's music career went through 7 years of failure no matter what he tried he was stuck obviously he made a lot of songs but none of them ended up being released some songs were lost to him The cousins ​​work for bigger artists since Rico needed the money and the future needed Rico to keep growing and learning so I'm working on something he I might have an idea.

I told him we would use it for Luda. He's cool, no, man, you take my song, oh. It's great to be a great leader, you have to be a great father, but other songs, and I mean potentially life-changing songs, were lost due to bad luck. I got a now old Dungeon Vault record from Andre 3000, and when he came to the studio to do the song. with you that verse that he put He never published it, but something difficult that you said, you said it in 3,000 face, he said my cousin was so this is him talking about me, I was, I was so excited 3000 leave that verse, he was going to I'm going to change my life, so we released this song that never came out.

This phase of Future's creative growth was so devastating that he developed a fear of recording in any basement studio due to all the times he was let down and his career stalled in the family dungeon basement studio. I don't really even record in a basement anymore because when I was in the dungeon I felt like when I was making music and the bottom never came out, so I always like to record in It got to the top now, but bad luck also came out of the studio. Rico got into trouble with the IRS and lost his house and in the future he had to return to Kirkwood and resume drug dealing to stay afloat.

Then he was arrested several times, it's hard to imagine. You are in that position sitting in a cell over and over again always wondering why you can't take a break. You have the skills. You had some opportunities. You even met some musical legends, but despite being so close to life-changing success. Still in Rock Bottom life did not allow the future to forget where it had come from. Nothing smells the same. Your food doesn't taste the same. You can't even eat after 21. And you look at all the mistakes you made. That ball inside of you as a man, I've done so many things and I've gotten to this point where I'm just in life, I feel like you're nothing, you know what I'm saying, so I've gotten to that point where, as a man , any chance I get, I will never be able to see that person because I know I'm not made for that, I'm made for greatness, you know what I'm saying and that shit will bring you down at a certain point, the present of the future also became It was painful to endure and the future seemed like the only place where his hopes for a good life were possible, but then came the year 2010.

Future Nadu, whoever he was at the time, was turning 27, but he had no music releases or fans. It was when Jimmi Hendri died as a legend and was remembered for eternity. The future was still nobody. The legend of him didn't even exist yet, but for some reason, 2010 was the year something changed. He ended up recording every day, regardless of whether he didn't. Whatever, it didn't matter if he didn't complete a song, he spent every day in the studio and never stopped until his dreams came true. I've been going to the studio every day straight for about 10 years, even if I have a schedule.

I still make some music, some I find a way to record and I just don't know how not to record, you know what I'm saying, it's hard for me to get away from the quietest place I can be is a studio and I stay. In there because I know when I get out I'll come back to reality, if you're mad all day stay in the studio after you've lost so many opportunities because of mistakes and Misfortune Future got one more chance in 2010 when a popular local rapper, Roco, took Se interested in it and featured it on his mixtape after its future release.

He realized that some people really liked his verses. In short, he had around 300 fans, but, since he was paranoid about being stuck forever, he immediately rushed to seize the momentum of this window of opportunity and abandon it. his own mixtape 30 days later, my first reaction to hearing this era of Futures music in 2024 was shock. In one music video, you can see the future driving around in an ugly Bas model Camaro that looks really terrible, fake and faded. Look anyway, although Future Persona's lyrics and visuals are more or less the same but also very different from what it is now 14 years later, but then I heard the stats of the song and I was even more surprised.

This is not the type of writing you would think of when you hear the name. future, the song starts with a spoken word poem from a member of the dungeon family, big rubbe, then the future comes with the hook, the streets are where I got the respect, where I got my stripes on Wikipedia, I can't prove that these mixtapes They're not exactly amazing. but the future was definitely starting to discover the formulaic style of him before long he got an appearance on the YC track racks. It spread like wildfire from clubs to forums to radio. In the end, it even peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Rax was basically a huge hit, obviously. Both artists were excited to have a hit, but the future was not EX ly happy, I wanted more, I had waited a long time for this opportunity and I wasn't going to let it pass me by, especially since as a featured artist I wasn't getting much Buzz, I ended up deciding to make his own mixtape in less than a month and put the spotlight on that project to capitalize on the potential his verse had. Over the next 30 days he completed the Dirty Sprite mixtape and released it immediately and behind the scenes.

It continued to explode even more, leading to a commercial release as Future's first real official song, from having 300 fans in May 2010 to now trending on national charts. Future's dreams seemed closer than ever. Rax gave Future a glimpse of mainstream success, but to avoid it. being a one hit wonder I needed to build a base and down the road this core base ended up being strip clubs, you're not a rapper, all those stats don't mean a normal street, you don't care how many times you went. number one like how many white people listen to you because they don't even think that they believe that the farthest is the club that is selling this club, that is the one that they believe is the biggest in Atlanta, the strip club that released the most hits was Magic.

City and Futures' music did very well at Magic City, they kept playing it all the time the more they played it, the more fany it became soon it was crushing the underground music scene and within a year they offered a contract with the major label Epic Records and became an overnight success at the age of 28 after 10 years of failure, but what kind of music got him there? future committed to this idea of ​​making his music rougher pretty hard or dirty in the official music video for Dirty Sprite starts with his girlfriend warning him not to drink lean, he has to hide it from her to keep drinking but at the end of the video she starts to drink it herself while the insane piano plays in the background and Futures lulls Melody to sleep, it honestly creates a pretty strange atmosphere. but years later, in a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Future began to dismiss his own involvement with Lean at first, it wasn't something I loved, it wasn't until I discovered what I loved, some people do drugs and they don't.

They understand the tall they take it just to be tall it started to make me more relaxed. I don't feel like I ever abused him. I used it for what I felt was needed and the future really changed the game. It emerged with a new style that it was at the beginning. strange and unheard of, but he left nothing to chance when he didn't gain instant traction, he just kept moving forward, releasing a total of nine mixtapes from May 2010 to January 2012, in that time he went from an unknown number of 27 -A child of a year he never released a project for one of Atlanta's biggest names, but after being signed to a major label and having access to a bigger budget, he would make a futuristic sound shift in pursuit of mainstream success, how would he go from a strip club? rapper who makes low budget music videos using cheap loud instruments for one of the most iconic living artists 10 years later at this point in his career he had achieved step two or three on his career list he had some fame local, signed with a label, but was looking to step 10 become a star, but still, as the future had learned after so much bad luck and misfortune, in Atlanta, success is never guaranteed.

What would I have to do to find step four, five and six until I reached the top on September 19, 2011? 8 days after the release of Street Calling and 10 days after signing his first major record deal, Future released his first official single and the first major moment of his career, a song called Tony Montana, Turn My My Over The Street, Sometimes called the first Mumble. rap song. He later said that he was so high in the recording booth that he couldn't even open his mouth and when he heard it again the next day he didn't even know what it was saying but it ended up being a hit anyway and the label needed a remix to boost it.

Future. Lil Wayne offered to participate on the song, but Future didn't want to be overshadowed on his first release by someone so big. Instead, he went with a fellow up-and-coming rapper, a 25-year-old Act from Canada. who is quickly breaking into the rap game but looking back they are like two sides of the same coin going through an Interlink journey riding the wave of Hip Hop's rise to become the new pop but like anyone who was meant to change the game. Future also faced ridicule from critics, especially for Tony Montana's unintelligible lyrics, to the point that he constantly had to explain his artistic and strategic choices in every interview he did.

Now you know it's a time when you have to get silly. lyrics down and because people aren't that patient and they have a short attention span you have to get their attention real quick because they're going to move on to something else 0 babies man the crackheads of the future would say you know you want to make music for changing the radio, not music for the radio, but one that resonated with the mainstream was also what I needed. Future's debut album, Pluto,It was commercial, but it wasn't either. She wouldn't say she was chasing the radio. She would say she was waving. and it worked this project had its first three hits Tony Montana magic same damn flight in time overnight the album even debuted at number 8 on the billboard 200 which is nothing to laugh at the production was a great leap forward from his mixtapes is also full of futuristic synths and electric guitars that range from distorted power cables to high-pitched psychedelic riffs, at the same time, he has little easy-to-miss references to his real self that come so quickly and almost They do not register in the general atmosphere.

I know that listening to these songs now in 2024 made me feel like the future has to be a really isolating feeling to have these raw moments in your music where a hidden pain spills over for everyone to see, but people don't even notice and move on. saying future It's not shown in his lyrics or you're not supposed to pay attention to his lyrics at all if Tony Montana is your biggest hit but you're also talking about the darkest moments of your life, it's a difficult position to be in As an artist, makes me wonder if the dirty, drugged-out mixtapes were just what he did to get his name out there.

He said in a 2022 interview that what comes most naturally to him was writing soft melodic songs that I make in my sleep. but I had to make a certain type of music that accompanied my career and everything that was happening at the time. I was capitalizing on different moments and creating from what was happening at that time in the world and in my personal life. I was taking the energy of that and making music, but I make those melodic songs easy even easier than I can make a rap song. So now, after all that, Pluto made the future the star he needed, it turns out Pluto did his job perfectly. from getting your first major songwriting credit on a ridiculous song to having him feature on your own song 10 years later, Future's Buzz was electric, even traveling mainstream pop when he appeared on a Miley Cyrus song as a songwriter was pretty too. sought after, wrote and appeared on Rihanna's 2012 song Love Song and also wrote body party for Sierra in 2013, which was her biggest commercial hit since 2004 and apparently even originally wrote an early version of Beyonce's smash hit Drunk in Love Back Then, he wasn't credited, but the

genius

page for the song lists him as a writer, that's how you feel, so in 203 all the demons are running to break the future, they don't want to break it, no. more t p crack got cut too much and that's all it comes down to Future took over the t pay trap.

One of the most common descriptions of Futures' work at the time was that most rappers talked about drugs, but Future's music makes you feel like you're in them and as early as late 2013 people were talking about noticing that Your style was appearing on other new artists and a journalist asked that some of your signature techniques now appear all over rap and pop radio. Are you happy to see the ways in which Mutated Rap has become mainstream, how do you respond to imitators? And then in 2014, Rolling Stone journalists were less subtle, following Future's lead. Hip-hop radio has become a cyborg parade.

You can hear his influence on young MCs like Rich homi Quan Tidals. sign kid Inc and Young Thug fetty seem to have gotten their entire style from Futures' 2012 song Turn On The Lights, but despite all the success, it was almost like no one respected their methods, people on Pitchfork even saying that the future it would probably fade away. As quickly as it emerged, the future may soon fizzle out, but its current status as rap royalty is one of the best things to happen in recent memory to a genre that has almost completely succumbed to absorbing the uniqueness of its stars. pop, just like the future. jump into the mainstream and secure a career forever or your style was a brief trend.

It's a difficult position for an artist to be in after trying so hard and for so long to break through. In early 2014, his predictions almost came true on his second album. Honest was rubbish, Future kept saying he never chased the radio, but Honest at least he was running towards it and that's not the fatal flaw, although the worst part was that he sounded confusing and Bland almost felt like someone was forcing Future to do it. this album, even Ben's. friends with Andre 3000 was forgettable and feels like the future was basically wasted a super weird feature listen to the song Blood Sweat and Tears For example, at best this song sounds like hay, Soul Sister mixed with imagin Dragons, What is this song supposed to be for? high school graduations weight loss music reels you can hear Future's love for singing and melodies, but it's still not there years later, Future admitted that this album wasn't true to him, he said honestly, he wasn't being honest , but somehow things got worse just 3 months after the birth of his son with his fiancée Carara.

Future's public relationship with celebrity came to an abrupt end after she caught him cheating and went on to say that she couldn't grow any bigger while she was with him and the backlash hit him. hard online I hate making fun of people who tell the future that he was a 60s rapper that his career was over. I was scared because I was one step away from getting married and I feel like I publicly failed in relationships, so you want to go back to making music for what you know and if people didn't accept you back, the only thing you feel you can fall back on, walk away. of you, you start to feel like it's over, yes, that's right, the future we know today, the human incarnation of misogyny was about to get married in 2014 he, she belongs on the street, especially with carara who will later say things about how her new man she married just a year later made her feel that way, he's an amazing dad, like seeing him with all our kids is like it's one of the sweetest things, it's one of the sexiest things to to be honest with you, but what hurt the most later on was realizing that people cared more about celebrity gossip than their music.

I had gotten to a point in my life where my relationship was bigger than my music and it really killed me. I was like, man, they don't even care about my music, they don't care anymore if I'm on the red carpet next dinner, date, that's not who I am, it's just I've been creative, I've been saying Trends, I've been saying music, so it was like man, I wanted to get back into that lane and it was like I wasn't doing interviews so I could explain it. I want people. think whatever they want to think about me and then I want to make music and then I want my fans to be able to connect with me.

He ended up disappearing from the public eye. He moved abroad to be alone avoiding interviews and doing what he knows. better recording recording and more recording the humiliation and rejection that he felt the real possibility of losing everything the future took all that and made music with a darkness that no one expected maybe not even him now almost a year later this is how his new mixtape starts small from the first minute the darkness is immediate his vocal tone sounds almost unrecognizable in any of his songs soaring a calm but demonic gurgle before a booming base attacks your ears the cover shows a disgusting Beast that looks a lot like the future itself disfigured Beyond Repair, above all, is completely different from what anyone expected.

The song Monster also takes it to another level. Old Future Disappeared In a 2016 interview, when he was talking about making Monster Future, I said I embraced what I thought people were going to hate. To me he was opening up and it wasn't throwaway at all, it starts off like any other song but at minute 2 Mark there's a change of pace that turns it into a completely different track. my cock sucks I was thinking about I was in the I I was when the tone changes to abrupt Sadness comes down after your euphoria wears off it feels like a flashback with all your memories overwhelming you reminding you of the person you used to be and life and everything else that she lost on her destructive path, carara had moved on with a new man, meanwhile, the future was in a state of denial, anger and anguish.

The track begins with the future calling someone disposable, but ends with him realizing that he is the one who feels like a castoff abandoned by his old life and loves whatever pain he went through, he is here to repeat the cycle and inflict it on him. to someone else, but you can't sit and stare at your wounds forever for the rest of the album, aside from this really heartbreaking song. for the most part it shows the future as nothing more than an absolute monster. There is one lyric in particular from my Savages that tells a lot about the future story of the future.

DJ Esco was a crucial friend; Actually, he was one of the best DJs in Magic City a few years before. When Future was first making a name for himself before having any commercial success, he also became very important musically to Futures albums thanks to the guidance and motivation of people like Esco after Monster Future got back on track to becoming a star. I don't really have that big of a face out there. I was deliberately backstage because Future is frontstage and I don't want to be up there like I'm trying to stop you from doing the dance.

I was trying to be like I was at home. I'm an in-house producer. I take the bass. I'm a DJ on the road. I'm still a Magic City DJ, but I wasn't making videos. I will always say no, I'm fine. I'll be right in the back, behind you, behind the camera, on the side of the camera, but there was a problem 22 days after the release of Monster while Future and his team were traveling. for a small tour, DJ Esco was arrested for marijuana possession in the United Arab Emirates, note a strict religious monarchy without the due process laws that would be expected in the US.

He ended up locked up in jail without a date planned release with the hard drive with every song that the future had recorded in the last 2 years years in possession of the police, they don't give you water or food for the first few days, you never know how long it will take for the justice system no It doesn't work like you can count your days because that would calm you down if you knew how, if they had told me you would be in jail for 56 nights, then I can put my brain in mode and count at the end.

They don't tell you when you're going out, so every day is another wonder of when you're going out. These are people who were there for 3 4 years and still don't have a court date. The future could not get. In contact with Esco, he didn't know what was going to happen to one of his closest friends, but he was also worried about losing the momentum generated by the release of Monsters, since all of his music was locked in beast mode. from a foreign country. together with monster they offered future fans two new sounds they had never heard before it was another successful mixtape just two months after the last 2 days after the release of Beast Mode DJ Esco was released from prison after spending 56 days in a cell Esco insisted in which the following mixtape includes one particular song from the confiscated hard drive that he had been listening to on the flight to Abu Dhabi and was also what he hummed to himself during his stay in jail.

The mixtape was finally ready and was called 56 Nights. Esco mentioned that it was March Madness, the producer of this song, Tarantino said that the future told him not to send him any trap beats, instead he asked for beats that didn't even sound like the future style. Tarantino was supposed to make new beats as if he were making them. for another artist and it's easy to notice that it doesn't sound anything like Monster Beast Mode or any of Future's other albums, the drum beat is definitely trapped, but the ambient soundscape is synthetic, like you would hear in EDM.

Future was creating forward-thinking trap songs and hits. at the same time, these releases boosted trap and revived Future's career simultaneously and might not have happened if Esco hadn't gone to jail, pressure and Desperation brought out a new level of creativity in Future's work. He would never have done 56 nights if he would and went to jail. I would never do beast mode if he went to jail. Dirty sprite. There would never have been an album like his sacrifice. It's just like a big sacrifice for me to get to the next level. Esco was locked up. The future.

Finally ready for his third album, the record that would not only become his best project but would also be considered one of the most important albums in modern rap history, it was time for Future's grand entrance into the mainstream as that the wave of pop pop was beginning to arrive. It emerged with artists like Metro boomman, Migos and Young Thug. He wasn't going to be left behind, but he still needed a masterpiece to make it happen. Dirty Spring was the perfection of their sound and came at the perfect time when the first song was thought of. it was a drought beginswith a heady, menacing instrumental, you can hear him shake the cup of lean like you would on the dirty leprechaun back in 2011, dirt s Le white girl iced tea fully loaded, but on the 2011 song he sounded like a man. flirting with Darkness in 2015 becomes Darkness the rhythms are dark and looming its flows change from aggressive to relaxed it all adds up to become a masterpiece that contains tons of sounds and styles that I serve the bass has a distorted industrial sound demonic that I can not change to make a PO and made AER.

Looking at the tracklist, you can really see how influential the future became by releasing this album. It combines distorted bass and heavy drums with tweets and even sirens, while future raps with the vocal tone of a literal monster showcasing a fast and technically slick flow, talks about sleeping with groupies but it's not sexy, the music sounds like a man was losing his mind. Humanity's slick talk is so toxic and selfish that Michael Phelps later admitted to listening to this song over and over again to get in zone Z for the Rio Olympics, remember in Rio when I made that face that ended up on the internet ?

I was in the zone with the Futures stick talking loudly in my headphones, he's been on the slopes, Freo and the Royal Sisters show traces of what we would later hear in the style of Playboy Card Yeet as well as from the club from striptease bouncing on their drums to instruments that play in 8-bit video games, the track SC later in the album has much softer, more introspective and deeply personal lyrics. Blood on the Money has an ethereal Japanese folk sounding melody with the feeling of someone having regrets and flashbacks from getting tired of all the destruction they have caused.

The lyrics see the future flexing vaguely but also talk about his misdeeds as if he's embarrassing himself. There is a sense of hopelessness as if he knows that I can never change and go back and how being betrayed in love destroyed him. The final song I know the meaning is also the most emotional and perhaps the most personal future song ever recorded. Dro Monster Tape and I had to go to Europe. The best thing I did was fight. from love skull wine told me they think you're worn out you have to come back to show who wants us back as soon as we finish the tour he had my hard drive on he doesn't even try to be subtle he just starts talking in the middle of the track about the exact problems he faced on his path to making a good life through music, he begins by talking about some of his family members, many of whom are dead, then mentions some glimpses of his childhood in addition to the problems he faced While DJ Esco was in prison and the future lost his friend, as well as all his music, the song puts you in his place, looking back, remembering everything he had to do and endure to finally get to a good place in his life. life and his career. was founded, he has enough money to not fear returning to poverty, but at what cost his Humanity had been exchanged for survival many times that is the true cost of manifesting your goals, losing everything to obtain the only thing you ever wanted, are you safe? able to enjoy this good life after losing so much to gain it perhaps it would seem that peace no longer suited him in the future perhaps life for him had become a perpetual battle if all you know is overcoming obstacles you won't know what to do once you finished with DS2 the future officially became a legend an entire generation of artists began to borrow their production Styles their autotune rapping what they said in their raps their improvisations their songs and even the way they behaved in public and the most crazy is that it's only gotten bigger since then because Future has quietly become a superstar since DS2 9 years ago.

He has been releasing albums and mixtapes almost constantly without losing popularity with nine albums, 24 mixtapes, and over 100 singles. I'm not going to cover his entire discography it's not possible but in the last 8 years or so what a time to be alive with Drake love backwards future hris Beast Mode 2 high in life I never liked you the magician and now we don't trust on you with Metro boomman these have it all There have been massive releases, the future keeps growing for a long time, he held the record of over 120 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved eight number one albums in a period of 10 years, that without mention Tony Montana's ridiculous amount of successes in 2011 with Jumpman masks life is good, wait for you his movies about heroes and villains and now like that with Kendrick Lamar being the biggest debut in a rap song in four years.

Longevity futures are once in a generation and have continued to grow a lot. Even from the late 2010s, much of his music in this second half of his career is his best work, even beyond the hits he still makes. Soulful, emotional and atmospheric songs as well as hits, and it's been a winning formula. I never liked it, you were one of my favorite albums of 2022 Deep cuts like Voodoo Chickens and Affiliated are hard to top Hendrick still sounds fresh to me to this day it's just one of my favorite songs artistically, it's one of the most influential rappers in the world of modern rap. fall without it, greatly influenced the rise of artists like Migos Young Thug 21 Savage Gunner Lil Baby the way it breathed new life into autotune was nothing short of a game changer, but what this all adds up to is the future of a pop rapper with no depth who found a good way to make sales or is a master of his craft who changed the game.

Who really is the future? Many people don't consider the future to be particularly special, but I think it's a big mistake if I had to summarize Artistic Futures. With a spirit as concise as possible, it would be smart, but don't look smart, since most people assume that he is just an artist who makes simple songs, it seems more like he portrays a mysterious Person to allow people to project themselves. about him. When he talked about wanting his music to feel like drugs when even he doesn't use them anymore, it became obvious the kind of game the future is playing more than anything.

The work ethic is undeniable. He spent years in the dungeon with his cousin Rico Wade. studying writing songs and studying Melodies to find out what works without getting anything out of it for himself. Working with Andre 3000 when he was a teenager, writing for other artists and even struggling for years to position himself in the industry without any success, it's pretty clear that he loves it. Everything from his unique vocal texture to his songwriting and melodies is the result of his passion for music. He made good mixtapes, he made bad mixtapes, and then he made good ones again to the point where now, 20 years later, he is arguably one of the top five rappers alive. when he was standing in front of a fake Camaro wearing a fake Rolex that didn't look like it was going to be, sure it seems easy to be where he is now, but it happened the same way over a period of decades. would happen to anyone else who watches this video, it takes years to find success, years of sustained effort without giving up, but still critics say Future's music is easy, but it's easy to replicate, it was very difficult to originate, there is no shortage of people who try to be. like the future, but almost none of them can just copy and have the same emotional impact, but I guess that's what a lot of people call the paradox of creativity.

The best work seems so obvious and clear that people don't understand the effort it takes to get there, but no matter the future is more than a meme, he is the embodiment of an era of culture and he got there by manifesting what he wanted during all his life. You don't get to where he is without living your goals and enduring whatever it takes. to get there then who is the future? I think we all know who he is at this point. He is the

misunderstood

genius

of our time, but he would never have gotten there if he didn't have a good work ethic.

The main reason why the future manifested success. He wanted so much because he didn't give up, that's something I always want to remind everyone who watches these videos, there is nothing different between you, me and the future, the fact is that he worked, he kept going and he found his dreams. he. happens to you you have to keep searching and that is the meaning behind the spirit of creativity the solid silver pendant I designed from my brand new spiritual world the recursive wings the blue gemstone eyes tells a story about how to move forward represents the journey of an artist or a student or an entrepreneur seeking success and finding their own path, embodies the idea of ​​working towards your goals even when it seems impossible to move forward because that's when it really matters.
