Future

“Rappers, especially in our modern times, represent all the feelings a person is faced with in pursuit of their personal legend.”

We examine recent works by Future, Sheff G, and Medhane, three rappers who are learning to accept their flaws.

"All my music is based on real-life activities, real-life situations. I don’t fairy-tale rap."

"It was real to me once they sent the itinerary."

“A day or two before, I was like ‘God, what’s going on?’

“I’m gonna use this as a catapult.”

F**k it, mask off.

Another perfect list.

We’ll see you in the comments.

Yet another list to argue over.
