Future – Monster ZIP DOWNLOAD
This morning, Future announced that his beloved 2014 mixtape, Monster, was added to streaming services. In an Instagram post, he wrote, “I’ve always spoke through my music and the people championed my trials and tribulations wholeheartedly with no regards.” It’s a confusing message that is incredibly Future-like. While on the surface it may seem pretty obvious what he’s trying to get across, when you try to break it down, some questions arise. Is he leveling an accusation at his fans or is he expressing gratitude for them? People championing Future’s music is what led to his ever-increasing success since Monster‘s release, but then you realize he specified that they championed his “trials and tribulations,” and it all becomes a bit bleaker. For fans to devote themselves to Future “wholeheartedly” is also commendable, but he almost-paradoxically follows that descriptor with the phrase, “with no regards.” When you put it all together, Future is summing up the phenomenon that led Monster to be elevated to legendary status.
Monster resulted in Future’s pain being identified as valuable resource to be burned and converted into blistering tracks. The tape is strong from start to finish, but it’s arguably hailed as a masterpiece due to the two opuses that serve as its pillars: “Throw Away” and “Codeine Crazy.” These songs swirl like the dark sludge from which the creature on Monster‘s cover emerged. They both span over five minutes, presenting listeners with a complete portrait of the persona that Future painted in blood on this project.
