INTERVIEWS: FUTURE OPENS UP ABOUT ‘HNDRXX,’ ‘MY COLLECTION,’ & FATHERHOOD
FUTURE OPENS UP ABOUT ‘HNDRXX,’ ‘MY COLLECTION,’ & FATHERHOOD
Before dropping his second album in two weeks, Future sat down with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 for part two of their Q&A.
“It’s a special time for me and music,” explained the “Draco” rapper. “I’m glad we got a chance to put everything out, the way we did it, the way we set it up. Me to be able to give this second part to Future, which is Future HNDRXX, I believe it’s spectacular. I’m excited for the fans.”
One of the songs Future will be candid on is the Metro Boomin-produced opener, “My Collection,” a “special” cut that apparently may ruffle some feathers.
“It might get attention,” he said. “It might get more attention than I want it to get, it might get attention I thought it wouldn’t get, it might get the wrong attention, it might get great attention. Who knows? I just know it’s a song I feel good about. I feel great about everything that I’m saying. Whenever you deliver on tracks, to not hold nothing back, and this is me not holding anything back…People might react to it different. They might tweet about it different. Or however somebody might think it’s directed to them…I hate that I have to be the person that touch on their life and be personal and direct with certain situations but I’m glad it’s me than anybody else.”
While “My Collection” is said to be personal, Hendrix says he hopes others take from it as well. “It made me express myself,” he said. “I feel like anyone can relate to something on the song. It’s not just for me…I don’t quite frankly think it’s touching on one specific person. I feel like it’s for everyone who can relate.”
According to Future, he was able to make so much music in such a short time span because he’s “obsessed with making music” and “addicted to the studio.” But that comes at a cost. At times, it’s kept him away from his children, Prince, Londyn, and Future Zahir.
“You gotta sacrifice so much, even the times with your kids,” he explained. “You have to just do music and you’re becoming this entertainer and so many people require so much of your time for different things, different obligations you have to make money, or just different obligations you have as a person in whatever the situation may be. You gotta leave town and miss out on certain things, that you feel like you should be there. Like, your dad should be a part of this moment. I gotta be like, ‘Damn, man, your daddy really a superstar and entertainer.’ My kids gotta understand, they gotta make a sacrifice, having a superstar dad. My career choice is my career choice. Just stepping out of that zone, to be able to be a provider. I understand my position as a provider and my role as a dad also…Just being able to be comfortable with it. Everybody wanna be a super dad and the best dad ever but sometimes, I’m just realizing that I’m not perfect.”
HNDRXX, a follow-up to last week’s Future featuring Rihanna and The Weeknd, is due Friday (Feb. 24).

ALBUMS: Big Sean I Decided.
BIG SEAN - I DECIDED
ALBUM STREAM
Detroit rap star Big Sean finally seems poised to make the full leap into rap’s A-list with his new album I Decided., a wordy cluster of shit-talk and introspective musings. We’ve already posted the hit “Bounce Back,” as well as the early tracks “Moves” and “Halfway Off The Balcony.” The album has guest appearances from Migos, Starrah, Jeremih, The-Dream, Sean’s Twenty88 partner Jhené Aiko, and a full-rant-mode Eminem — making rape jokes and rapping about killing Donald Trump. (Eminem has been trending all night just based on the strength of his “No Favors” guest verse.) The album also has some cover art that reminds me of It Follows, the best Detroit-set horror movie of recent years. (It’s not that much better than Don’t Breathe, but it is better.) And right now, you can use Spotify to stream the whole album below.

ALBUM: Migos - Culture + 20 Best Lyrics From Album
20 of the Best Lyrics From Migos’ ‘Culture’ Album
The Migos‘ latest full length release, CULTURE, finally arrived on Thursday evening (Jan. 26), instantly creating an air of excitement within the rap community. One of the more anticipated rap albums of 2017, CULTURE comes more than a year after Migos’ debut album, Yung Rich Nation, which generated plenty of buzz, but was stifled by legal drama. Using 2016 to regroup and regain their crown as the hottest rap group of the moment, CULTURE is the culmination of Migos’ rise to the top of the music world, and finds all three group members turning in stellar performances and displaying a chemistry that is as innate as it is effortless.
With Donald Glover’s Golden Globes nod to the Migos’ ubiquitous single, “Bad and Boujee,” helping to boost the record to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and their popularity at a fever pitch, CULTURE had a lot of expectation riding on it prior to its release. But with songs like “Call Casting,” “Brown Paper Bag” and “Deadz” already being mentioned as standout records by listeners (if you take a look through critics’ timelines on Twitter), it appears that Migos’ sophomore effort has managed to live up to the hype.
Boasting guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and Travis Scott, as well as production by Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, Cardo, Nard & B and other elite boardsmen, CULTURE packs plenty of firepower that adds to Migos’ own undeniable star-power.
To celebrate the release of their new project, we’ve compiled 20 of the most electric bars from CULTURE that showcase why Quavo, Offset and Takeoff have the rap game, and pop culture, in a chokehold at the moment.

NEWS: Method Man Reveals "The Meth Lab" Artwork & Release Date
Method Man Reveals "The Meth Lab" Artwork & Release Date
Method Man's new album is coming this summer.
When Method Man first announced The Meth Lab, it was to be presented as a mixtape and released back in March of this year. Those plans fell through, but the delay has allowed the project to be upgraded from a tape to a proper LP, so perhaps it was worth the wait after all.
Today, Meth shared the official artwork for the LP, as well as the release date. It'll be on its way August 21st through Tommy Boy Entertainment.
The news came along with a Breaking Bad-inspired trailer for the album, which featured a preview of some promising new music from the OG.
Check out the video below, and the official cover art in the gallery.

NEWS: Wu-Tang Clan Release Official Statement Defending 88-Year Rule On Album
Wu-Tang Clan Release Official Statement Defending 88-Year Rule On Album
The criticism of Wu-Tang Clan's plans to wait 88 years to make "Once Upon A Time In Shaolin" public has caused the group to make an official statement.
The one copy idea behind the Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon A Time In Shaolin seemed insane at first, but the more recent development that it could not be shared for at least 88 years brought it to a whole new level.
Not only were fans not pleased that they would not be ale to hear the LP in their lifetime, Method Man actually spoke out about the decision, denouncing it as "stupid," and insisting that the music would be "played out" by then.
RZA expressed on Twitter that the concept of the release was being misconstrued, and now the Wu Tang have released an official statement on the release, in which they attempt to clear things up (though they still seem a bit confusing). According to the Wu, the album can be shared for free once it's purchased, it simply can not be sold as a "conventional album" until 2103, at which point it is the decision of the LPs owner whether or not they will copy and distribute it.
Read the statement below.
"Only one single copy of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin was ever to be made. This has been the case since the very first announcement. A commercial release was never planned. The right to commercialize it, meaning the right to sell it en mass to the public in any form is not allowed until 88 years from now.
If the public rights were handed over now, then this would be a record deal like any other. Not the sale of a single copy. It can be exhibited publically and it can be given away for free. But it cannot be commercialized as a conventional album release until 2103. Even then, it will be the owner's decision to release it or keep it as a single unit, not the Wu-Tang."

Kanye West Announces Album Title, Shares Possible Artwork
Another godly title for Yeezus.
Kanye West's already had a huge week, effectively breaking the internet with a performance of "All Day" at the BRIT Awards, and now he's made a big announcement on Twitter. His new album will be called So Help Me God, and he shared it with an image that could very well be the album art, especially considering his recent fondness for minimal design. According to Stereogum, the symbol in the artwork is a "13th Century monastic symbol for the Virgin Mary."
Check out his announcement below, and let the wild speculation begin. Here are our predictions about the Yeezus follow-up.

DRAKE JUST DROPPED A 17-TRACK MIXTAPE CALLED 'IF YOU'RE READING THIS IT'S TOO LATE'
Jesus Christ, what a night. A little over two hours ago, I was standing on Flatiron Plaza in the heart of Manhattan watching Kanye West on stage with all of his G.O.O.D. Music friends (Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Travi$ Scott, and Waka Flocka Flame) do like every mob song ever. Rumor has it that Drake was there, too, standing about 15 feet behind me. Turns out, while Drake was standing there, he was plotting the release of a long rumored mixtape. Because, friends, the mixtape is here. It's called If You're Reading This It's Too Late, and you can cop it on iTunes. I haven't listened to it yet because it's still downloading, but it's probably awesome. Is it a coincidence that tomorrow (February 13) is the six year anniversary of So Far Gone? Probably not. Tracklist and stream below.
1. Legend
2. Energy
3. 10 Bands
4. Know Yourself
5. No Tellin’

NEWS: Ranking Kanye West's 6 Albums From Worst To Best
Ranking Kanye West's 6 Albums From Worst To Best
We attempted the impossible task of ranking Kanye West's six solo albums.
This was hard. This was really hard. Mostly because we love all of Kanye West's albums. They've each played a unique role in the progression of hip-hop (and music in general), each pushing the boundaries of his sound and offering something new to the table.
However it's fun to really dissect a great artist's work, and Kanye's is no different. His music (and his antics) has been the subject of much conversation amongst music critics, news anchors, and even our president. So why not try and pick a first and worst when it comes to Mr. West's output?
That's just what we did, so feel free to agree/disagree in the comments, argue around with each other and embrace some good ol' fashioned musical debate.
Yeezus (2013)
Yeezus wasn't for everyone. It was raunchy, dirty, unique and thrilling, but it wasn't an inherently chill listen at all. Certain songs stick out by themselves and are hard, but as a whole it just isn't on par with the soulful sounds of his previous six efforts.
This isn't to say the album wasn't enjoyable at all, just not as much as the earlier works.
Graduation (2007)
Graduation ushered in a new era of Kanye and was the first glimpse we saw in to the ultra-modern aesthetic that he has been chasing ever since. Beginning with "Good Morning" and ending with "Big Brother" was a perfect move, no less impeccable than the 11 songs that fall in between them.
Where the album falls shorter than the next few is in it's ability to really push the envelope. Collaborating with Daft Punk was definitely a groundbreaking moment for electronica and hip-hop alike, but the rest of the album doesn't carry along the 'unprecedented' vibe.
808s & Heartbreak (2008)
Departing from the style of his previous three LPs, Kanye West took auto-tune and synthy 80s influences to produce 808s & Heartbreak. The album met mixed reviews off the bat, but is largely considered a classic in 2015, to the point that Rolling Stone listed it as one of the 40 most influential albums of all time.
The album definitely ushered in a new era of hip-hop, and the game hasn't been the same since its release. Evidence of it's influence can be seen as early as Drake's similarly important mixtape, So Far Gone, where he takes on the "Say You Will" instrumental.
Late Registration (2005)
Every song on Late Registration is awesome and unique, but it comes together as a slightly more jumbled work than the next two on the list. Though it may lack cohesion, it still stands as a masterful set of songs.
"Touch The Sky" perfectly utilized a Curtis Mayfield sample, and everyone from Common to The Game added a meaningful feature. In the end, we're left with nineteen classic records, (or 21 on the special version), which is no small task, even for Yeezus.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)
This album is nothing less than a movie. It's one of the most vivid hip-hop albums ever created, if not the most vivid. As soon as Nicki Minaj's opening spoken word leads way to "Can we get much higher?" which precedes a RZA-collaborated beat before Kanye chimes in:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I fantasized about this back in Chicago
Mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago
That's me, the first year that I blow
How you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo
Me drown sorrow in that Diablo
Me found bravery in my bravado
D.J's need to listen to the model's
You ain't got no fuckin' Yeezy in your Serato?
(You ain't got no Yeezy, nigga?)
Stupid, but what the fuck do I know?
I'm just a Chi-town nigga with a Nas flow
And my bitch in that new Phoebe Philo
So much head, I woke up to Sleepy Hollow"
The rest of the album doesn't slow down for a second. Kid Cudi, Raekwon, Jay Z, Rick Ross, John Legend and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon go on to compliment Kanye in such a way that you can not simply dumb down their performances with the word "features." It was an incredible joint effort that truly put Kanye West on top of the music world.
The College Dropout (2004)
It was really hard to rank The College Dropout first, but it's kind of hard not to rank Kanye West's first album as his best. Introducing the best 'best producer on the mic' since J Dilla, Kanye West took the world by storm with singles like "All Falls Down," "The New Workout Plan," "Jesus Walks," and "Slow Jamz." They acted as an incredibly diverse quartet of singles that may have made Kanye the most versatile MC right off the bat.
It also was the debut of a man who could make his own music to rap on. This was at a time where hip-hop had gotten a little stale, and most singles were cookie-cutter tracks that rapped about money or bad-mouthing women. Kanye didn't completely disregard those themes, but was able to focus largely on more relatable topics through the concept of college registration.
The LP also wasn't short...not by a long shot. Twenty-one songs is a lot, even if a good handful were skits. The breadth of the album was probably the best since Jay Z did The Blueprint, of which Kanye had his hands in as well. It was clear that hip-hop was getting a new king, a new GOAT, a new legend in Mr. Kanye West. And nothing has been quite the same ever since.
NEWS: Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" By The Numbers
Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" By The Numbers
Take a look at Drake's surprise album, by the numbers.
Now that we've spent the day listening to Drake's new album If You're Reading This It's Too Late and thoroughly dissecting it, we're presenting you with an informative graphic that breaks down the album into simple mathematics.
If you've had the chance to stream the project yet, you know that the 6 God doesn't fail to rep the Six heavily through out, as well as few other familiar topics; women, his mama, and his OVO crew. However the references to girls in his life (or no longer in his life) far exceeds any other mentions (to be clear, we counted every single reference to women, whether that be "she", "her", "girl" or Drizzy speaking directly to "you", etc).
The Toronto rapper doesn't forget to name-drop a few brands here and there, from various cars (among them; Honda, Ferarri, Bugatti, Subaru, Rolls Royce, Mercedes), to clothing brands (Prada, Nike, Girbaud Jeans etc).
Stay tuned for another analysis on the rapper's list of thank yous, which will arrive later tonight. Now go listen to the boy here.
