Future

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?

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 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.”

Billboard ranks the tracks from Future's ninth studio album featuring Drake, Young Thug, Kodak Black, Kanye West and more.

The Hall of Fame tandem of Future and Drake catch another win on the slow-winding song “WAIT FOR YOU.” With rising Afrobeats star Tems designated to hook duties, Future and Drake write poignant verses about how their busy schedules kill their relationships. A simple switcheroo between “PUFFIN ON ZOOTIES” and “GOLD STACKS” after “FOR A NUT” should happen, considering Future’s energy level on the former is higher. Introspective Future is the best Future, especially on “THE WAY THINGS GOING.” Though Future typically exudes supreme confidence, he often undergoes moments of doubt. The resurgence of Kodak Black continues on the standout track “VOODOO.” A proven features savant, Kodak doles out another indelible hook that finds Future combatting his demons. “It’s my love from my grandmother make me gentle when I care for you,” he painfully croons. (“If it wasn’t for Google, man, that b–ch wouldn’t know my nickname,”) The two-track run of “WAIT FOR YOU” and “LOVE YOU BETTER” is an excellent reminder of peak Future for fans who fell in love with his searing honesty. While the effort is admirable, after “HOLY GHOST” falls short of capturing that same “VOODOO” magic. Future’s streak of great outros remains undefeated, with “BACK TO BASICS” his latest such offering. After his controversial GQ cover, which dubbed him “The Best Rapper Alive,” Future attempts to mute those who question his legacy. The trifecta of Future, Gunna, and Young Thug return after their Hot 100 triumph “Pushin P.” The record slightly rivals its predecessor because of its hard-hitting production but lacks the same fervor as the former top-10 entry. On the Wheezy-produced track, his bravado continues to be his calling card, as he throws endless darts at the competition and, of course, the opposite sex.

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.

It's time to clean house regarding the area of employment authorizations in U.S. immigration law. While a recent successful case improved the situation, ...

In a recent case involving an Indian spouse of an H visa holder who lost her job due to the expiry of her EAD status, the couple decided to move to Canada instead of fighting with the broken U.S. system dealing with H-4 visa holders and employment. If it is a matter of money, why not just add the relevant fee to the fees paid by the principal applicant or the applicants themselves on the underlying petitions? Why can’t employment authorization simply be part of, and incident to, the approval of the underlying case when a beneficiary is coming to the USA? Why, for example, should a fiance have to apply for employment authorization after that fiance has been approved to enter the USA to marry an American? Why isn’t employment granted by the USCBP officer as part of the entry of the fiance into the USA? Why must H-4 spouses have such trouble with their employment status in the U.S. - worrying about Form I-94 renewals and such? Even in the rare cases where EADs are approved much sooner, the fact remains that the area of work permit approval in the U.S. immigration system is simply not working as it should. Instead, such spouses were being allowed to work automatically, just by virtue of their status as E-1, E-2, E-3, H-4, or L-2 dependents if they had a valid I-94 arrival/departure record with the relevant “S” classification noted on it by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) officer when they entered the U.S. It set down the rule that E-1, E-2, E-3, H-4, and L-2 spouses were to receive automatic employment authorizations “incident to their visa status.” In other words, they no longer had to apply for or renew their employment authorization document.

“But it’s hard for people to understand, because I don’t put everything on Instagram. Kanye flew me to Paris in 2011 or 2012 to work on music. The whole Hip Hop world right now is likely listening to Future’s ninth studio album I NEVER LIKED YOU, which dropped on Friday (April 29) after weeks of teasers. “Me and Kanye always had a relationship,” he said.
