Tracklist
1. Thought It Was a Drought (prod. Metro Boomin & Allen Ritter)
- DOPE. Future is above average at excellence, and this is not short one bit! Very satisfying opening song. BANGER. “I just f***** your b**** in some Gucci flip flops I just had some b****** and I made ’em lip lock I just took a piss and I seen codeine coming out We got purple Actavis, I thought it was a drought.” [3 out of 5]
2. I Serve the Base (prod. Metro Boomin)
- Beat heavy. “They should’ve told ya I got that stick with me You the one who duckin’ from a drive by My n***** unemployed sellin’ pot pies I serve the base, I serve the base” [3 out of 5]
3. Where Ya At ft. Drake (prod. Metro Boomin)
- Featuring Drake. This is a no-brainer. The two make an irresistible on-fire track. Banger and definitely to-be fan favorite. Make it yours today. Just Future asking.. “Where Your Ass was at??” Catchy, upbeat. “Serve a lot of dog food; call you a mutt Where your ass was at dog, when I was on my come-up? The reason I’m here today cause I ain’t never gave up” [5 out of 5]
4. Groupies (prod. Metro Boomin, Southside & Sonny Digital)
- Real smooth. “Sip on my cup , it’s a movie I pop me a Perc, it’s a movie Smokin’ oh-la-la-la like a Fugee Turn your homie to food, he a Goofy And my lil’ one get head from a groupie“
5. Lil One (prod. Metro Boomin & Southside)
- “Now, don’t make me drop a bird on ya I’m gon’ drop a bag on ya I’m gon’ drop that bag on ya Don’t make me drop that bag on ya“
6. Stick Talk (prod. Southside)
- “10 million dollars cash, f*** a friend Started sipping syrup, I’ve been geeked ever since Gotta keep that heat on the seat ever since You know we talk that stick talk, that stick talk“
7. Freak Ho (prod. Metro Boomin)
- Good one. “Pretty girls reppin’ “Pretty Gang” f*****’ wit the kiddo Type to f*** a hood n**** good, then tell em “ditto” Went from 5 on the indo, 30 rounds in the extendo F*** a friend though, ain’t pretend though“
8. Rotation (prod. Metro Boomin & Southside)
- Real dope track. Upbeat BANGER. Dirty South Banger. Nice hi-hat kicks and drum bass sub. “I bought all the sodas at the gas station I just put a famous bitch on rotation I just put that famous bitch on rotation I just put lil shawty out on probation” [5 out of 5]
9. Slave Master (prod. Metro Boomin & Southside)
Personal favorite production and overall most energetic track. Catchy and definitely gets stuck in your head after as little as just a few plays. “Jump out a new whip, n****, like I’m a slave master I pour up two zips n**** I’m feelin’ way better I’m feelin’ way better, I’m feelin’ way better” [5 out of 5]
10. Blow a Bag (prod. Metro Boomin, Southside & Sonny Digital)
- Released single, mid-temp BANGER. Able to relate, down to earth and has incredible depth to the track and verses. Repetitive hook, good hook. “I ran it up with the same n***** Get that money and stay with the same n***** I know that money can change n***** They don’t look at you like you the same n****” [4 out of 5]
11. Colossal (prod. Zaytoven)
- Typical Zaytoven synth-keyboard bounce. (Little substance to some for those who don’t understand it) – but deep hood Street Banger to the real fans of Future. The definition of colossal is “extremely large or great,” to which Future is saying that his stacks of money are getting colossal, i.e. he’s earning so much money. “I’m hungry, I admit it, I swear I’m conditioned I served and I hustled on any conditions F*** your permission, I’ll get to them digits Come to your town and I get and split it” [5 out of 5]
12. Rich $ex (prod. Metro Boomin, Frank Dukes & Southside)
- Mid tempo, catchier than ever. Nice relaxing soothing sounds. I dig it. R&B/swagger style, definitely looking for a feature – but doesn’t need one as Future keeps attention throughout this entertaining track, Hook is dope! “Never made love to a misfit You never made love to a misfit Come and kick a deal on some rich shit I’ma keep it pimpin’ on some rich shit” [5 out of 5]
13. Blood on the Money (prod. Metro Boomin, Cassius Jay & Zaytoven)
- GREAT TRACK. WOW!!! Another real good one. This is definitely a work of art.. just excelling right here! Really really loving this one. On repeat over – and over.. “She put me off and it was ugly I made a million dollars, say she love me The way she did me, it destroyed me I kept it real with lil’ shorty” [5 out of 5]
Deluxe version bonus tracks:
14. Trap N***** (prod. Southside)
- If you’re anybody, then you know you NEED this song. Gotta get the Deluxe version for it. Definitely worth it. “When you wake up before you brush your teeth You grab your strap, n**** Only time you get down on your knees Shooting craps, n**** F*** what you heard, God blessin’ all the trap n*****” [5 out of 5]
15. The Percocet & Stripper Joint (prod. Southside)
- Real talk. Percocet is a painkiller which includes the combination of oxycodone and paracetamol — in this track, Future highlights the extent of his drug use — even stretching to over the counter painkillers — while he’s in a strip club. “I get mad zooted, I got this bad thing I recruited My passion is a movie, I say f*** it ‘cause that’s ruder I stay on Miley Cyrus, every where I go I’m screwed up“
16. Real Sisters (prod. Zaytoven)
- Up tempo keyboard synth friendly track. Pretty addictive. Zaytoven bringing the heat!! “Say you getting throwed, I’m tryna pour up with you Oh, that’s your best friend? I’m tryna f*** her with you First met the bitch, they said they real sisters I don’t give a f*** if they was real sisters” [4 out of 5]
17. Kno the Meaning (prod. Southside)
- This one is for those that ‘Kno the Meaning.’ Real stuff “I’m fresh off the plane on them Zaytiggy’s I endured so much pain, ain’t got Esco with me Ain’t got nobody smoke one or pour with me N***** rocked the lean, man, when I was OT” [5 out of 5]
18. F*** Up Some Commas (prod. DJ Spinz & Southside)
- Lead single, and definitely for a good reason. Get yourself to F*** Up Some Commas, already. What Are You Waiting For? BANGER “Fake n**** lie to a real n**** Now that’s just some s*** that you don’t do I’mma stay real for my real n***** Now that’s just some shit that I’m gon’ do” [5 out of 5]
