Future is a rapper’s rapper, but his life experiences has helped him have a deep appreciation for all genres. Growing up in the Kirkwood section of Atlanta to a hustling family wasn’t easy, but he showed people how you can take a negative and make it into a positive. Future sat down with us at the studio to discuss everything from his “future love child” with Solange, cash money, family and smoking with some Amy Winehouse.
Half On a Music Love Child … I would have a love child with Solange Knowles. Her style is so different and unique. We have different styles musically and style wise, but she would be the best artist for me to have a love child with.
Smoking and choking … When I am smoking the green herbals, I like to listen to Amy Winehouse. I love her voice!
Influenced By Many… Kool Moe Dee, Queen Latifah, Barry White, Al Green, The Temptations are all artists my family used to play. I always had my family around me and we always played music. My house was the house to be at.
Influencing the Influencer … I wouldn’t say anyone influenced me. I get inspiration from a lot of people. I want people to say Future did it his way. I just like being creative. My style is just like having 20 artists in one.
Family Affair … I come from a hustling family. My whole family were all hustlers from my grand parents to my cousins. No one had real jobs so everybody was super shocked when they started hearing me on the radio. They never knew it could happen to someone they could put their hands on. You know how it is when you grow up with someone and have memories with them. It feels like my uncle and my cousins that I looked up to looks up to me now.
Change The Game … I took the street mentality and I reversed it. I made it legit. I gave people a positive outlook. Now they look at me in a positive light. It’s hard to be able to wake up in the hood everyday and even harder to make it out. I look at the news and I see people I know, it makes me tremble. I appreciate everything around me because of the experiences I have had. I appreciate it cause I had to go through certain things. I always knew I was going through this for a better day. You can only go up from the bottom just have to have your spirit right.
Faces In The Crowd … I feel like even though we are not from the same place people still find a way to connect. They may connect to the lyrics, the hook or even the beat. They find something in the music that they can relate to. People can find something that applies to their daily life.
The formula … My formula is to be passionate about the music and to express myself. I don’t worry if it is a hit or not. I go in the studio with a free spirit and speak whatever I want.
Date Night … You got to listen to R&B when you’re on a date. It just sets the mood.
Strip club … My favorite strip club is Magic City. I don’t even listen to the music at the strip club. I don’t want to hear no music. I can’t be all into the music when I am paying attention to my surroundings.
Radio … It was a great feeling having my song getting added. I never pay attention to the song that’s in rotation. I am always thinking about what’s next. It’s the pressure of trying to get the next song on the radio.
Cash Rules Everything Around Me … I love cash! Its all about where I came from. Everything was about cash money. I was fascinated by it at an early age. Cash rules everything around me! You can make someone happy. You can fix a lot of problems with money. It can make your problems go away. When you grow up around hustlers that’s what life is about … CASH MONEY!
Candy … My favorite candy has to be gummy worms.
Female Celebrity Crush … Lauren London!
Desert … My favorite desert is cheesecake.
Sneaker … Balenciagas!
Haircut … The infamous fade.
Dance … My favorite dance is the “Beef It Up”.

Let’s take a closer look at what Future had to say!
Background Of Future
Rapper Future is one of the biggest names in hip-hop today. He’s been making waves since his debut mixtape 1000, released back in 2011. Since then, he’s gone on to have a successful career with several chart-topping albums and hit singles. His music has often discussed themes such as smoking, using the streets for hustling, stripclubs, and Cash Money Records. In this article we’ll look at how these topics are referenced in Future’s work.
Future references smoking throughout many of his songs. From lyrics such as “I smoke loud like it’s legal” off of “Codeine Crazy” to singing about rolling up blunts on tracks like “Coupe”. Even though he talks about it frequently, Future rarely glorifies drug use or implies that people should do drugs because he does them himself. Instead, he uses his experiences to tell stories through his music which provide listeners insight into his life growing up in Atlanta.
As well as talking about smoking, Future also discusses street hustling within his rhymes. Songs like “Perkys Calling” make reference to him being an entrepreneur from a young age: “Had my first business startin’ out when I was twelve / Before I got older I already had wealth.” This lyric gives us an idea of how much hard work went into building up the rapper’s empire – something that wasn’t easy considering where he came from. It shows that despite having access to money and resources through Cash Money records, he still put in the effort necessary to create success for himself outside of the label too.
Throughout much of Future’s catalog there are also plenty of mentions of strip clubs and Cash Money Records alongside other subjects found throughout his songs such as cars, jewelry, girls etc… While some may take issue with certain aspects regarding those two entities (strip clubs & record labels), they both feature heavily within the artist’s discography due largely to their significance during different stages of his career – before signing with Cash Money and after signing with them respectively. As a result they serve not only as lyrical content but also reminders of what makes him unique; someone who started from nothing yet achieved great things thanks partly due to working hard and taking risks along the way.
Reflections On Music And Life Experiences
It’s clear from Future’s music that he draws a lot of inspiration from his own life experiences. His rhymes are filled with references to hustling and the streets, strip clubs and Cash Money Records, as well as smoking and other topics related to his upbringing in Atlanta. Through his songs he reflects on how far he has come since those days and all of the struggles that came along with it. He paints vivid pictures through his lyrics which enable listeners to gain insight into what it was like for him growing up in this environment.
This is evident not only in tracks such as “Perkys Calling” but also in more recent releases like ‘Codeine Crazy’ where Future raps about smoking loud marijuana despite its illegal status: “I smoke loud like it’s legal / I’m countin’ money while they callin’ police.” This line encapsulates the rapper’s outlook on life; success comes at whatever cost necessary even if it means taking risks or going against what society deems acceptable behavior. It shows just how determined he was to make something of himself no matter what obstacles lay ahead – a lesson many people could take away from listening to Future’s music.
Though Future often speaks of some less than savory activities, there is still much wisdom found within his work that goes beyond simply glorifying particular lifestyles or trends. For example, although references to Cash Money Records can be heard throughout numerous songs, these verses never imply anything negative regarding their influence on Future personally or professionally – showing respect for the label that helped launch his career back in 2011. Similarly, when speaking about strip clubs (a topic found frequently within rap culture) he portrays them realistically without glamorizing any part of the lifestyle associated with them either- proving again how thoughtful lyricism can transcend genre conventions by providing an honest reflection on real-life scenarios.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Future has had a profound influence on the rap world. His music reflects his life experiences and provides insight into how he came up in the industry. He has dealt with some of the toughest aspects of street life, such as smoking and using cash money to make ends meet. But it also shows that even when things are hard, you can still strive for success.
Future’s story is an inspiring one, reminding us all that hard work pays off. It’s evident from his lyrics that he put time and effort into perfecting what he does best – making great music. Even after achieving fame, he hasn’t shied away from the strip clubs or streets but instead embraced them as part of who he is.
It’s clear that Future is not afraid to be himself and if we can learn anything from him, it’s to never give up on our dreams no matter where they take us. With determination and dedication to our craft, anything is possible.
