Young Thug and Future Are Looking to The Future of Rap on Super Slimey

 

Featuring an array of things relevant to the culture of rap music, Future and Young Thug’s 2017 collab album, Super Slimey, features banger after banger. It was ahead of its time, really. The topics that they cover are super trendy. They trade off bars talking game about different things, some closer to home, and some apparently from another planet.

               They like to keep things cool on Super Slimey. The tracks on the album are all titled in different themes. Saying different things relevant to the generation of rap that the album was made in, but at the same time, coming closer to the future of rap at points. They like to score points. They’ll go all over the map just to nail something down on the other side.

               Future is decked out in a style that was far more advanced than his other albums of 2017. It’s like he was looking to the future of his career at this point. Coming through with some ideas that were unheard of at the time. Really representing what it means to be in the rap industry.

               The trendy styles of pop culture references that were present in the rap game in 2017 are definitely present on Super Slimey. They’re playing the game straight, but at the same time, they sound like they’re watching out for the future of rap. Potentially holding a lot of things together to keep the game on, since a lot of other rappers fell off shortly after the era of rap that Super Slimey comes from.

               It’s a relic of a generation of rap that seeks to preserve culture that goes far beyond the album. Whether it’s coming from the rap of the year that it was made in, or the future that the rappers are looking to, there’s a lot to count on coming from Future and Young Thug’s epic collaboration.

The Music Industry is Undergoing Renovations

With all kinds of new music pouring into this generation, it’s making me wonder who’s listening to what. There are some people with a more reserved music taste out there, saying that they’re listening to the old school, and there are more explorative people out there listening to the new things that are coming out. Music festivals are even featuring new artists that no one has ever heard of often.                The modern state of the music industry is a very open field. There are new and undiscovered artists coming out along with the old favorites. It’s thought-provoking in the way that I start to question which artists are really good and which ones have been put up in the mainstream only to be overrated.                The artists that we’re used to listening to are starting to be overshadowed by new talent. These new types of hustlers are r...
