Future and Metro Boomin's 'We Still Don’t Trust You' Review.
has been skilled at playing rap’s favorite romantic anti-hero: the man, or character, baptizing himself in purple drinks to forget about bliss that has slipped away. Some of his best songs, like “Throw Away” or “My Collection,” can be both spiteful and vulnerable, like a dog dying of a virus that it can’t understand. It’s why certain men pore over his albums like they’re David Foster Wallace novels.
But there’s another, unheralded element of Future: the joy for love and lust that he can convey, and the infectiousness that comes from that. His new album with— is another installment of Future exuberantly singing about his hedonism. After years of making some of the best hip-hop records of the 2010s, these guys still have a unique chemistry, even if their zeitgeist-shifting days may be behind them.
Future is 40 years old now, and like most men that age, he is aware that the prime of his life is dwindling. Onthere’s none of the huskiness of a boisterously euphoric song like “Slave Master,” or the animalistic scream we remember from “Blow a Bag.” But he’s still trying to hold on to the indulgences that brought him this far.
Even amid joy, you can sometimes see the oppressiveness of masculinity closing in on Future, like when these two grown men start arguing about who slept with what girl first. When he first hit his peak, Future’s relationship with his masculinity was disorderly and relatable. He was the toxic incarnate, like if Don Draper had grown up in the Dungeon Family studio.
Still, the music continues to override any of the head-scratching behaviors Future, Metro Boomin, and all of their friends engage in. Just like onthe guest features on this record are quite good. J. Cole sounds tightly competent on “Red Leather,” and the Weeknd is menacing on his feature. He’s giving us moments here, as he did with Playboi Carti on “Type Shit” and Kendrick Lamar on “Like That.” On the last song, “Streets Made Me a King,” Future talks about growing up in a drug zone.
