Future Explains Reason For Making “Dumb” Music

Jay said it best

"first I had their ear now I have their hearts"

chess not checkers...

he sold 89k records

who's listening?


imagine pac dumbin down his music to supposedly get this ear

u aint makin it like that cuz u aint nice... its simple

and ghost writers run the rap game in 2012

@ what mark does he says this?

I just think its weird that he's saying this officially. It seems like some people might take offense to his saying he dumbed down his music so they would like it.

[pic] naw not really folk tho a pimp digs why u would say that


see niccas take dumbed down too literally & need to expand they thought process to give it context ya dig. wuz Das Efx, Lords Of The Underground or L.O.N.S. dumbed down music becuz it aint offer any kinda political or social message? hell naw. hip hop so beautiful mayne becuz it aint limited to one kinda direction. sometimes its inspirational teachin like KRS & sometimes its party music to move yo body like The Fat Boys. as a nicca who luv Future music, got all them mixtapes i aint trippin. when a nicca in a serious mood i'm finna throw on some Common or Ab Soul. hip hop fans be too conservative wit they swag i feel and be hella judgemental of rap that aint they cup of tea. so party & have a good time done came to mean dumb people music which makes no damn sense really

what if future comes out and starts making super lyrical conscious music with soul and jazz beats?

not everyone wants to party to nothing but songs about drugs and orgies [pic] It's not about being judgmental of rap, its about the lack of balance within mainstream. I don't know how old you are but as a young person who lives in a hood full of youngn's i can see the direct effect. I live in the midwest and taking xtc and popping pills all of a sudden became cool overnight because of the music that is being promoted. You have found a balance but most young people don't because they have never been exposed to that balance to begin with. When i was young i heard 2pac, lauryn hill, talib kweli, common, busta rhymes ,nas, anthony hamilton, outkast, dmx, jadakiss but you also had nelly, jay-z, cash money, no limit, diddy etc.. so being 10 years old in 1999 I got introduced to many different styles and expressions on mainstream radio. And don't tell me that people can just go on youtube because contrary to popular belief every body in america isn't born into households with internet access but damn near everyone has a tv or a radio which will introduce them to pop culture.

There is NO balance at all anymore when it comes to mainsteam rap i mean c'mon when Rick Ross is considered the most relevant LYRICIST in the game then we are in a sad state.You don't learn anything from these guys man and its shameful that people defend it when there is no defense besides bliss and willful ignorance. The honest truth is that as a community this music is so POWERFUL that one song can change what we wear all across the nation and world, and to act like it doesn't have an impact just because you may be aware enough not to fall in to the trap doesn't mean that there isn't a young brotha out there right now who's biggest male influence is someone telling them to go hit a lick, stay strapped, sell dope and shoot niccaS.

Im out here so i see the effect firsthand i don't know where yall at but in the hood its getting nothing but worse for the youngins, thats why niccas gon stay right tha !! at the bottom cuz like game said we feed of evil! niccas can't go to the club and enjoy themselves without having to hear a song about shooting another nicca, nicca WHAT THE !! DOES PARTYING HAVE TO DO WITH SHOOTING AND ROBBING! DUMB niccaS PARTY TO DUMB IGNORANT MUSIC LIKE WAKA FLOCKA and end up k!lling each other or fighting by the end of the night. its d|sgusting
