Future I Never Liked You

He's steamrollered out rap classics in his 12-year tenure as one of trap's founding fathers and, on his ninth record, Atlantan don Future enlists help from ...

After more than a decade of working alongside the Atlanta’s rap pool – which continues to grow in talent and notoriety – Future has proved time and again that he’s special. But then a great run of tracks appears in the middle of the album, proving that Future is more mature than he’s given credit for. For the three-way tag team match of ‘FOR A NUT’, with YSL Records’ lead duo Gunna and Young Thug, he manages: “I just put some diamonds in her butt”. What?

Two years after releasing 'High Off Life', Future returns with 'I Never Liked You' with appearances from Kanye West, Drake, Gunna and more.

On Friday, Future released his ninth studio album with features from Drake (“Wait for It” and “I’m On One”), Kanye West (“Keep It Burnin”), Kodak Black (“Voodoo”) and more. The value of the relationship as it continues to grow, the value of just treating people like they are priceless, instead of treating people like they got a dollar sign on them every time.” With production from TM88, ATL Jacob, Southside and others, the album comes just two years after Future’s platinum-selling album High Off Life and his Pluto x Baby Pluto collaborative album with Lil Uzi Vert. Just in time for I Never Liked You, Future has delivered the Ye-assisted music video for “Keep It Burnin.

At this point in his career, Future knows exactly what his fans want from him, and he's embracing it. Alongside guests like Kanye, Drake, Gunna, Young Thug, ...

How does an album called I Never Liked You end with a bar like, “After I fuck you, let me cry on your shoulder?” This album thrives when Future taps into the emotions he claims he doesn’t have, and it sounds like he might just need therapy instead of trying to be a fantasy to the women he meets. Lines like “I fucked her in the butt and made her peepee” and “I’m a rich junkie, yeah all these drugs I buy” are pretty ridiculous. Although my first impression isn’t a rave review, I do think this album has potential to grow on me, especially as we move into the warmer months and more live events start to take place. He’s fully leaned into his persona in a manner similar to a Too Short or Suga Free. For better or worse, you know what you’re getting from a Future album, and it’s easier to accept as a character. On that song, it feels like he finally peeled back the curtain, and I wish there was more of that here. Gunna and Young Thug aren’t terrible, but “I can boss a bitch up for a nut” is such a ridiculously cringey hook, and the fact that Future puts that bar on loop makes for an easy skip. The most memorable and convincing moments of I Never Liked You are when it sounds like he did, in fact, like them at one point. Jordan: Drake and Future rarely miss together, and that chemistry makes both of Drizzy’s contributions sound effortless on this album. Andre: “Wait For U” with Drake and Tems. When I saw the tracklist, I was scared they were going to jump Tems with toxicity, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be thematically. If I didn’t have to stay on top of as much music as possible as a music writer, I would just go to Future (and a few other artists’ catalogs) when I wanted to hear this kind of sound. Tems’ beautiful voice lines the background of the track, and it’s one of the few points on the album where Future slows down the tempo and delivers softer sounds. Alongside guests like Kanye, Drake, Gunna, Young Thug, Kodak Black, and Tems, he’s here to lean into the meme and deliver that signature Future toxicity just in time for summer.

The album features Kanye, Gunna, Young Thug, Drake, Tems, EST Gee, and Kodak Black. The Pluto creator posted the tracklist and album cover earlier this week to ...

Even the album name, said Future, was to be a reflection of his artistic image - “supreme swagger, serious self-loathing, and toxic behaviour”. says the GRAMMY-winning artist. "Putting this project together is just people understanding that I love hard.

The Kanye collab, “KEEP IT BURNIN,” inspired a dark, glitchy music video that arrives alongside the album. The album doesn’t include “Worst Day,” the single Future dropped in February and placed inside the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Elsewhere on I NEVER LIKED YOU, Future teams up with Young Thug and Gunnna (“FOR A NUT”), EST Gee (“CHICKENS”), and Kodak Black (“VOODOO”). The aforementioned Drake turns up twice—alongside Tems on “WAIT FOR U” and by himself on “I’M ON ONE.”
