Joseph Vaikness Dr. Angel ENGL 1301.P21 30 Sept. 2016 An Intoxicating Trip into Madness FUTURE, DS2 After breaking out into the mainstream in 2012 and 2013 with hits like â€Å"Tony Montana† and â€Å"Turn on the Lights,† 2014 was a rough year for Future. The autotuned, Atlanta rapper saw his second full-length commercial release, â€Å"Honest,† perform weakly on the charts and alienate his original fanbase. The Atlanta hip hop scene felt it was too commercialized, the project being loaded with every trending producer and big name feature, and that it drifted too far away from what made Future’s music compelling in the first place. On top of this, his high profile relationship with RB star, Ciara, saw its end shortly after â€Å"Honest† was released. Rumors of infidelity circulated. Starting in October, 2014, Future released a bevy of acclaimed mixtapes (Monster, Beast Mode, 56 Nights) over the course of six months. Having moved back to Atlanta from LA and working with producers with whom he came up with, these mixtapes resonated deeply with his initial fan base. By the time summer 2015 rolled in, the demand for â€Å"Dirty Sprite 2† was like that of a freshly shaken two liter. Upon release â€Å"DS2† was a smash on the hip hop charts, topping out at number 1 overall on Billboard on its way to becoming certified platinum. Undeniably, Future Hendrix succeeded commercially. Thankfully, the music is deserving of the commercial success. The overall aesthetic of the album is a big win.
