It definitely sounds like what I thought I heard. Mind you, it’s 4AM, and people start to hear, see, and think things at this time. “The only time I feel alive when I taste it It begins to sound cryptic on purpose - like it’s trying to communicate through Future’s verse. There is a cryptic ad lib that catches my ear in the background. A back and forth of unworthiness transcending to success. Just because I don’t dance, doesn’t mean I’m not making moves. Weeknd sets up the table: do you know who I am? Do you see me only for face value? Are you only concerned with the surface level of me? Do you not know how great I am? Don’t you know how disrespected I feel when you don’t take me seriously? Do you take my kindness for weakness? Silent confidence, secret hustle, vengeful fruition. The Weeknd starts off the track and it’s beautiful -reminiscent of that aforementioned Trilogy Weeknd, with the airy XO-like sound and those soft, yet aggressive, vocal bars. I’m already anticipating fire because this duo does nothing other than put up W’s when they link. It’s 3ish AM in the morning and here I am, digging through this Future album.

Residuals is the most used word in hip hop next to VVS - anyways, I digress. I hear the word “residuals” in the first line and I’m convinced that the hip hop-powers-that-be have a quota to reach every year with that word.

I should give some records a quick listen.” I think to myself, “Yo, that new Future album just dropped. It’s a meme world and we’re just living in it. Elation, happiness, and euphoria - to the tune of Slide. The video features Steve Carrell in 40 Year-Old Virgin, dancing around with Seth Rogan and co after having sex for the first time. I’m an intern for Complex, so I figured it was worth a shot to make something fun. I’m working on some meme video I made for the new Frank Ocean, Calvin Harris, & Migos track.
