A Brief Review of Future's New Album
YouTube

Future's fifth album is average. If you don't like Future, this album will not convince you to give him a second chance. Many fans will find this to be great, as it plays on most of Future's strengths. This contains some of the best Future performances I have ever heard from him. The autotune and moody productions are here as well.Those are most of Future's strengths. Akin to J. Cole’s recent efforts, there is not a single feature on this release, resulting in many of the songs feeling empty. There could be a standout single in the tracklist, but no song reaches the heights of “Low Life” or “Where Ya At”. Production wise, usual suspects Metro Boomin & Zaytoven only produce two tracks and their absence is deeply felt, as both producers played a major part in shaping Future’s identity as an artist. All these complaints don’t lead to a terrible album. Future is still the best at what he does even if he doesn’t try that hard this time around.This release seems to be the polar opposite to last month’s Migos’ Culture. Whereas FUTURE serves as a showcase to the man’s talent, Culture serves as the perfect soundtrack to a great party. FUTURE contains no single, yet Culture had a Number One song on the Billboard 100. Whereas Future tries to pull of a more classy effort, the Migos’ could care less. Many people go to Future for music to brighten up a party. Juxtaposing these two releases, you’re definitely better off with Culture.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
