You can use that song at parties, the gym,
going to bed, waking up, it's perfect for anything.
- I love that rhythm of music.
I just love that.
It puts me, you know, in a mood, like,
yeah, I can do this.
Like, yeah, let's work out!
I run five miles. No, run six!
- Every training session, we're going off to Future.
He's like a god right now.
No one touches Future.
- Future has become one of those artists
that I didn't really fuck with before,
but as more music comes out, I'm genuinely interested.

- ♪ You never really loved me ♪
- I liked that song.
- It's over, but I'm still feeling the beat.
- I'm not Future's biggest fan, but I do think he is good.
- The trademark of Future is his very low, kinda (mumbling),
kind of like voice.
Mumble rap itself has become a thing,
so now his voice doesn't seem anywhere near
as annoying as I used to think it was.
But I still love mumble rap.

That's, I mean, such a great collab,
two artists that I really love.
- I love the rhythm, that's the thing,
but I don't know if I'm okay with the lyrics, you know,
but it's okay. I like the rhythm.
- I don't know if that's a good message.
I mean, I hate to disagree, but I feel like
if you cheat on someone, you should for sure apologize.
- This is just everything that we've been playing,
I've been bumping in my car, on my headphones.
Future is always playing wherever I am.
- Low Life, best song ever.
They mentioned this line, where he's like,
"Bitch from Pakistan, what's up?"
Literally, every brown person I know had that on

from The Weeknd and Future."

Pharrell and T.

It's like cars and girls and drugs.
- ♪ The Gandalf hat and the weird ass clothes ♪
♪ That's Comme des Garçons and the Buffalo ♪
- He could have anyone on a song and it's just amazing.
He's always got a good blend of different people in his music.
- With The Weeknd and with Pharrell and Pusha T,
I mean, I feel like him collaborating with other artists
like that helps him to kind of branch out
to different fanbases.
- ♪ Fuck up some commas, yeah ♪

- ♪ Let's fuck up some commas ♪
♪ Let's fuck up some commas, yeah ♪

- I mean, it's a jam. This was a huge hit.
- He's doing the classic rapper, like, look at all this paper,
but it's something you can bob your head to,
even if you're broke.
- I could have $20.00 in my wallet at a time,
and I hear this song, and I just feel like
the biggest baller on earth.
- ♪ I blow a bag today, I do nothing fugazi ♪
- (mimicking) I blow a bag today.
- ♪ I walk in the mall and go crazy ♪
- This just shows how much content he has.
It's crazy. Like, it doesn't stop.
- The beat is always really fire, so you're always finding yourself
just bobbing your head.
- They're all starting to sound the same, though.
I'm like, oh, is this not the same song you just played?
- They kind of all sound the same, to be honest.
(laughing) I might just actually know one
and I'm like, "I know all of these!"
- ♪ I had to grab the Wraith ♪
♪ I had to change the safe ♪
♪ I had to change my bitch ♪

- ♪ (Future mumbling) ♪
- I feel like half the time, I don't even know
what they're saying, but I'm just like, "Yeah!"
100% mumble rap.
- Rappers like Future have created this trademark in their music.
Although a lot of their songs sound slightly similar
to each other, that's just kind of, I think,
helps brand Future as a musician.
- ♪ Where your ass was at, dog, when niggas woudn't feed me? ♪

she would text me that, like, "Where your ass is at?"
I'm like, "Stop!"
- ♪ Where your ass was at... ♪ - Oh damn.

♪ When all the dogs needed help? ♪
♪ Lawyers and the commissary ain't gon pay itself ♪

- See, you can actually see what he's saying.
I don't think he indulges in the mumble rap as much.
- ♪ Where your ass was at when I was trapping in the store? ♪
♪ Had to struggle to get to where I'm at and selling dope ♪
- I like this song.
- ♪ Juugin' out the stove and we still bangin', honest ♪
♪ Blowing on the O, yo, we call that ho an onion ♪
- That was good. I liked that one.
- I love Future.
He was the first new thing in hip hop in a long time.
- He's branding himself really well,
so he's came up in the last few years
as one of the big hitting rappers in the scene.
I hope he keeps making great music because he's killing it.
- (FBE) So those were all videos by the rapper Future.
- "Future."
Oh my god, I was-- I wanted to say that,
but I didn't want to be wrong.
- (FBE) What do you think about him?
- I think he's good.
He has a nice voice, but then again,
a lot of his songs kind of sounded the same.
- I love the beat. It's fun.
Like I said, I like working out to that.
I just don't like that they use women so much in their videos,
like, just like chilling there.
Objectifying a little bit, women, still.
- His music is very hype music.
I feel like I would put this on when I'm trying to get pumped up.
- He kind of has the classic rapper vibe to him.
He kind of really gives a name to what trap music
and these kind of things are.
- He's one of the biggest faces of the rap game,
if not, like-- there's a lot of people
dropping stuff, but he is the most consistent right now.
- He's a really good entertainer.
I think he's just really talented when it comes to music.
He's made a dent in the hip hop community, for sure.
He's made his mark.
- (FBE) So Future has blown up to huge success,
so much so that people who might not even know
much about rap still know or have heard some of his music.
What is it about Future's music that you feel like those
not even into the genre can appreciate it?
- He puts out music that hypes you up.
He kind of has a way of rapping about stuff
that the listeners can grasp onto.
- He collaborates with fantastic artists,
and together, him and those artists make bangers.
- It's pretty chill rap.
It's a good chill vibe.
- It's really mindless music.
You don't really-- there's not much thought
behind listening to Future.
It's like a fun, I don't know, chill thing to listen to.
- It has a huge deal to do with the beat.
Even though they probably might not understand
what you're saying lyrically, if you have a really good beat,
I think that's something that sells pretty well.
- If you're not necessarily super involved in rap,
if you can hear a song, and even if the lyrics don't matter,
Mask Off, I just think it has a really nice beat
or I just like the way it sounds, so that's a song
that I actively listen to.
- The beats he has, plus his voice with it,
I think those two are the biggest things
when it becomes-- it doesn't matter if you're singing country or rap.
If you can match the background noise you're doing,
everyone's gonna really appreciate your talent.
- (FBE) Future has a reputation of having a tireless work ethic,
releasing over ten mix tapes and albums
in a relatively short period of time.
What do you think this says about him as an artist?
- I think it's dope.
I hate waiting for music, you know?
I want-- just like video, just like YouTube,
I want my content now.
- That says he's really passionate about what he actually does.
He's constantly doing it so that he doesn't become
one of those artists that's like, "Oh, yeah, have you
heard anything from Future recently?"
It's like, no, he's always putting something out
so that he stays relevant.
- For him to be working and being in the studio constantly
and, you know, releasing all this music all the time,
one, it shows he really cares about his fans
because I'm sure his fans want him to release new music
all the time, and then, again, it shows that
he's super passionate about what he does.
- (FBE) So drug use is a common theme in a lot of his music.
- Very common.
- (FBE) So, of course, there's controversy around it,
with some saying that he's glorifying drug addiction
and that it's a negative, but others look at it,
stating that he's taking an honest look at addiction
and it's a positive.
So do you think these types of lyrics
really have an impact on listeners?
- I mean, I'm sure they do.
I feel like lyrics like this could definitely have an impact,
especially on younger teenagers.
- The music, it is very-- it's one of the strongest things
that will make people follow something,
and they become kind of like an icon for some people,
so they want to imitate or be like that person.
- I don't think he's really glorifying it.
He's just saying this is really the culture we're about.
He's not trying to make it look cool.
- Definitely when I'm sitting in my car on the freeway,
screaming "Molly, Percocet," it definitely doesn't imply
that I'm gonna go try to do molly.
- Talking about drugs or alcohol or whatever isn't new in rap.
I don't think people should ever take the lyrics too much to heart,
and become influenced by the music because, after all,
it's just kind of entertainment.
- It's important just to tell your story.
The fact that he's doing it in his own way,
and getting, you know, getting people talking about
drug addiction in particular, that's something.
That's creating discussion.
- He's more of the realistic-- like why he does it.
To actually come out and be like, "No, I'm severely depressed.
Like, I've gotten-- I've been through so much shit
that this is what's keeping me alive,"
it brings more of an understanding of why people do it.
- (FBE) Finally, a lot has been said about Future's music,
notably that he genre bends.
Some say his rap has a trap-like vibe.
- Yeah, he's a trap rapper for sure.
- (FBE) He also has diversed in that he can do
a verse on a pop track with Ariana Grande or Miley Cyrus,
but also have other songs fully inside various rap genres.
Where do you think he stands in terms of an artist in 2017
and where do you think his trajectory is taking him?
- I mean, I feel like he's pretty big right now.
If he decides to keep coming up, coming out with new
innovative sounds, then he'll keep going up.
- He's got Mask Off right now on the radio.
He's doing great.
Honestly, right now, collaborations are everywhere.
Everybody is collaborating with everyone.
- I definitely see him as a rapper.
I don't think I would go as far as to say
that he transcends genre, but, I mean, I think it's cool
that he is doing collabs with pop artists.
- He already has a bunch of fans and is so big already,
so I feel like he's probably just gonna get even bigger.
- He can only go up from here.
That shows that you have adaptability
and you're willing to use your talent
in multiple venues.
- Pop is popular music, so if you want to be
a popular musician, you're gonna have to involve yourself in pop.
I don't think there's any real prediction
for where he's going to go in the future.
(chuckling) "The future."
It could really change the entire music game
in the upcoming years, and introduce a new genre
or revitalize a genre of house trap music
and mixed with a bunch of other stuff,
and he probably will be at the forefront of that.
- What artists need to realize in 2017 is that branching out
of your own genre is the way you're gonna blow up.
I think, you know, if Future continues
with his consistency in music, and continues to collaborate
with these heavy hitters and big names,
then there's no way Future can go but up.
