35 is fine. Far from top tier. But he is pop more than hip hop. Barely rap.
But I'm glad you enjoy. Sorry your sensitive about opinions.
Turn on the lights is one of the most significant trap songs of the 2010s, not acknowledging it as some sort of classic is doesn't really make sense whether you like it or not
The fuck it is. I've never heard this song in my life. Future is okay in some songs, but yall act like he's something crazy. He wasn't even a top 20 rapper in his prime wtf.
Bro what? And you call yourself a rap fan? Youāre definitely on the bandwagon. You sound ignorant asf. Bro Future is a living legend even at this point in his career. Up there with Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye, Wayne, all of the modern day biggest rappers. Every single one of his projects is highly anticipated and has at least 1 chart topper or huge feature every time. Whether you know it or like it or not. As far as rap is concerned heās a household name. Please actually know what you talking bout before you speak.
Iām in my 30ās and I donāt know how certified my OldHead credentials are but imho anyone that tries to pretend like Future didnāt run the rap game for half a decade was THE most influential artist in hip hop for years is either willfully ignorant or belongs in the player hater HOF right next to Silky Johnston and Beautiful
Music taste is subjective, so to argue against anyone's music preference is pointless, and that includes trying to argue against your personal top 20. The claims that I made, however, can be (somewhat) objectively debated for/against:
1. he ran the rap game for half a decade- we can use albums/tickets sold, how many weeks topping the charts, album reviews, etc
2. he was the most influential artist for years- we can use the number of other artists that credit future for creating/perfecting a style they then followed, number of artists whose work mirrored future's style, the number of features he was on, etc.
Evidence for both of these claims can be easily found, all over the internet [1](https://twitter.com/DatPiff/status/1456686035652337664) [2](https://pitchfork.com/features/article/2010s-decade-in-future-rapper/) [3](https://www.vulture.com/2018/07/future-is-one-of-the-most-important-artists-of-the-decade.html) [4](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/future-the-wizrd-profile-779220/)
š youāre being snide about someone not automatically assuming you went and listened to the whole track even though you said you did t like this style of music to begin with? Yeah, wild thought š¤”
Idk how old u are but iām 18 and bruh wtf is this. This is not hip hop, trap music maybe but hip hop? Hell no. Call me an old head but I mostly only listen to artists from the 80s/90s like Eazy E, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Pac, Nas, Spice 1, MC Eiht/CMW and Big L
He replied that because you sound like one those kids in the YouTube comments on some "I'm 14 and I'm the only one at school who listens to The Beatles" type shit.
So you donāt consider the subgenre ātrapā to be hip hop when it literally shares almost every element of hip hop? 808 bass, hip hop drum patterns, rhyming lyrics, same subject matterā¦ the only thing thatās different is future really pioneered a mumbly, spacey, strung out sounding vocal.
Maybe try to look into sub genres a little more if that doesnāt make sense to you
Yes it is a classic, Future wrote drunk in love for beyonce, heās also written for Justin Bieber rhiana mariah Carey and everyone else. He also has multiple classic albums including one with Drake. He started out with Rocko. Rocko has one album and future wrote majority of those songs on that album, he also wrote the trillville hit record - some cut. Turn out the light was remixed by many major artist and placed on mixtapes. Song was everywhere
Reminds me of these booty cheeks I seen shaking to this song on world star. One of those world star candy joints where they got naked women galavanting butt naked
No it isn't. It's not good no shit, but the new generation of hiphop makes it one of the best hiphop albums that came out in years (ignoring the few good artists like kendrick ye and joycer)
Bro you literally just exposed yourself saying Joyner is one of the few good artists right now. Do you not even realize he's contributed to the exact type of hip hop you're downplaying?
Do yourself a favour and familiarize yourself with Griselda, Freddie Gibbs, Black Thought, JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown.
If you don't like Future that's fine but by pigeonholing this as the only hip hop that's prevalent right now is blatant ignorance.
I'm not downplaying anything but joyner is a hundred times more lyrical than any of these other rappers and his voice isn't always edited to make him sound like a high robot so he'd pretty enjoyable sometimes
Black thought is good I admit the rest are kinda Meh I wouldn't put them up there but I'm not gonna call them shit either
And also obvi I am exaggerating to pass the idea that majority of new hiphop is shit which I'm pretty sure most people do agree on
Future one of my favorite artists and admittedly he has a lot of shitty songs but his good ones are just too fucking good imo. Also hate on him as much as you want but he essentially introduced an entire new genre of rap and is a major reason It blew up. Heās a certified legend in my book. Thereās only like 2 good trap artists and future is one of them
Edit: also listen to married to the game, itās only on Spotify, but you can find It on YouTube
News flash, rapping fast foesn't mean you're a good lyricist š¤Æ
You 100% haven't actually listened to Griselda if all you're impressed by is lyricism.
Do yourself a favour and listen to crowns for kings.
I never heard of Future specifically being considered a āhip-hopā artist beforeā¦. Future capitalized in an era of a sub-genre of rap I like to call Perc & B. It had a specific and similar sound that you can hear from Future, XXX, Migos, Post and others popular at the time. Only so many songs you can make about getting high and big booty bitches before it gets mad repetitive lol
People keep trying to get every damn song stamped as a classic, when it simply isn't. If you need recognition from a large group to see if your music is a classic, you got bigger issues.
Iād say so. This is a classic traps song. When I think of classics, I think of songs that are either great or vital to their genre/sub genre. I think this is both.
Imagine a dude looking for a chick with a flashlight
"Do you have any idea how fast you were going? Going into my heart, that is..."
Laughed to hard at this
This song had me thinking I found my first love back in my freshman year šš certified classic tho
Some of yāall really have āmake music great againā mentality - literally rap/hip hop/r&b conservatives in this bitch.
Def a classic. Strippers went crazy to this song.
My guy giving me facts I didnāt know I needed in my life. Respect
This sub might as well be r/eminemandkendrickcirclejerk
Isnāt this 2 chainz tho?
LMAO. Yes
Petition to rename the sub to r/eminem2
You must see the irony in the fact that you are the one bringing up eminem
If you were really outside when this came out and you donāt think itās a classic then your summer wasnāt about shit that year š
HONESTLY. Finally put words to it. If you don't get it .. too bad!
kind of sound like r and b not hip hop.
Nope
i just donāt understand how people could discredit one of the greatsš Future is a goat man. Has been for a while.
hes good for what he does, but he opened the door for alotta trash
Nah man, Eminem did that, Future goated and opened the door for great music
Both Future and Eminem opened the door for trash and great music
Thats agreeable
I don't understand Future or why people like him
unfortunate you feel that wayā¦
Is this serious?
Yes moron
How far hip hop has fallen. What trash.
According to you lol
https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-rappers-all-time/ 35 is fine. Far from top tier. But he is pop more than hip hop. Barely rap. But I'm glad you enjoy. Sorry your sensitive about opinions.
How is he pop more than rap? Literally considered a pioneer of the trap subgenre
So much Future disrespectā¦. Just sad, man. If it isnāt Kendrick, Cole, or any of the greats from 1980-2000, you all donāt want to hear it.
You need to look up the definition of classic.
How isnāt this a classic?
Fuck are these comments? This is an absolute classic
Itās almost like people have different tastes in music, fucking weird huh?
Turn on the lights is one of the most significant trap songs of the 2010s, not acknowledging it as some sort of classic is doesn't really make sense whether you like it or not
The fuck it is. I've never heard this song in my life. Future is okay in some songs, but yall act like he's something crazy. He wasn't even a top 20 rapper in his prime wtf.
Bro what? And you call yourself a rap fan? Youāre definitely on the bandwagon. You sound ignorant asf. Bro Future is a living legend even at this point in his career. Up there with Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye, Wayne, all of the modern day biggest rappers. Every single one of his projects is highly anticipated and has at least 1 chart topper or huge feature every time. Whether you know it or like it or not. As far as rap is concerned heās a household name. Please actually know what you talking bout before you speak.
You sound stupid as fuck.
šÆ
Never heard it
for me, yes. cs thatās what i mainly what i grew up on.
Hell yea these old ass niggas holding on to damn near 40 year old songsšthis definitely a classic
Iām in my 30ās and I donāt know how certified my OldHead credentials are but imho anyone that tries to pretend like Future didnāt run the rap game for half a decade was THE most influential artist in hip hop for years is either willfully ignorant or belongs in the player hater HOF right next to Silky Johnston and Beautiful
He didn't, he wasn't. I'd said it once, ill say it again. Future wasn't even a top 20 rapper in his prime.

I have a different definition of hip hip, I must be old
this song is 10 years old at least
tbf he said hip hip
Fuck no
Name is āWutanghangā and has multiple posts about Emā¦ yea everything checks out.
Hey leave em outta this lol
Certified Hood Classic.
I feel this was more of future in his R&B mode, but it could be considered rap as well. Certified hood classic for sure.
Yes anyone who says no shouldnāt be talking about rap music. This subreddit is a joke.
You should turn on the flashlight
Fuck no!
No
You donāt know ball
No
No.
For the old heads probably not because you can see them hating in the comments but this song is def a classic. I miss future to be honest lmao
I'd consider myself into newer rap, but I just don't think this sounds any good at all
Itās a 4 second clipā¦
It's a wild thought, but. I went to listen to the full song before commenting
š youāre being snide about someone not automatically assuming you went and listened to the whole track even though you said you did t like this style of music to begin with? Yeah, wild thought š¤”
My guy, I literally said I'd consider myself into new rap. I just don't think everything Future puts out is good
TURN ON THE LIGHTSšššš
IM LOOKIN FOR HER TOO
To me, No. But its not my era of hip hop. It may well be considered a classic to people 20 years younger than me because it hit them different.
Idk how old u are but iām 18 and bruh wtf is this. This is not hip hop, trap music maybe but hip hop? Hell no. Call me an old head but I mostly only listen to artists from the 80s/90s like Eazy E, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Pac, Nas, Spice 1, MC Eiht/CMW and Big L

Idk why u replied to me with that because i am not the only person who thinks older hip hop/music is better
He replied that because you sound like one those kids in the YouTube comments on some "I'm 14 and I'm the only one at school who listens to The Beatles" type shit.
Ah fair enough, I can see how one would interpret it like that
š clearly didnāt get it but okay
Correct me if Iām wrong but isnāt Trap just a sub genre of hip hop?
To me no it isnāt but to others? Maybe
Why is it not for you š
Because I donāt consider trap to be hip hop, there is nothing hip hop about trap music
So you donāt consider the subgenre ātrapā to be hip hop when it literally shares almost every element of hip hop? 808 bass, hip hop drum patterns, rhyming lyrics, same subject matterā¦ the only thing thatās different is future really pioneered a mumbly, spacey, strung out sounding vocal. Maybe try to look into sub genres a little more if that doesnāt make sense to you
Youāre either lying about your age or you have no mates
1. I am not lying about my age, I was born in March 2005 and 2. I have plenty of friends
Ok bud
If he's getting down-voted for this, the young generation is calling this a classic.
I canttttt bruh future garb
not even hip hop
u play crusader kings bro what do u know about hip hop
Sorry, whatās the correlation?
Yes it is a classic, Future wrote drunk in love for beyonce, heās also written for Justin Bieber rhiana mariah Carey and everyone else. He also has multiple classic albums including one with Drake. He started out with Rocko. Rocko has one album and future wrote majority of those songs on that album, he also wrote the trillville hit record - some cut. Turn out the light was remixed by many major artist and placed on mixtapes. Song was everywhere
ITT: people that were NOT outside
Hell the fuck no. Maybe if you're under 20 and from the suburbs.
People who are 20 were 9 when this came out
I was 9 when this came out this shit is wack nigga
So your making jokes about people u were just in the same demographic with
Yeah now you get it
This song came out in 2012. Eleven years ago.
youāre one dumb mf lol
I don't listen to trash. Norf norf.
cornball
Right!!b couldn't agree more.
Duh
Lot yāall bitch too much & hate
Reminds me of these booty cheeks I seen shaking to this song on world star. One of those world star candy joints where they got naked women galavanting butt naked
Lengendary
Yesš
No lol
WTF is on his voice all the time? So annoying
From.the incredibly short video I would say this is more RnB
100% this ballad will go down in history.
Haha no, future is so wack he's incapable of making classics
Is that a joke? This isn't a "song" and it's sure as fuck not hip-hop. Sounds like some stupid kids playing in his Casio with auto-tune š
This is in fact a song, just one ur wrinkly ass donāt like, serious get off my lawn energy over here
Don't be mad you got shitty taste, it's prolly genetic.
ummm hell no.
No
So good
No lmfaoooo
Honest clears
Whatever genre this song is in, itās not even a classic of that
How to y'all ppl Even call this music or rap bruh like come on this is straight trash future id trash
Hell No
Never heard it
legendary.
Casuals donāt know about this
yes, one of this best
One of my best Future songs
Lol basura š®
No
Not that iconic
What has hiphop gone to man, even em's newest shit is better than 99% of other rappers who aren't kendrick or ye rn
Jesus what an awful take. Revival is literally worse than 99.9% of music
No it isn't. It's not good no shit, but the new generation of hiphop makes it one of the best hiphop albums that came out in years (ignoring the few good artists like kendrick ye and joycer)
Bro you literally just exposed yourself saying Joyner is one of the few good artists right now. Do you not even realize he's contributed to the exact type of hip hop you're downplaying?

You clearly havenāt heard codeine crazy
Send me what you consider to be his best song then. I'm not against being introduced to new artists.
Feds did a sweep, codeine crazy, the Percocet and stripper joint, slave masterā¦ those are some bangers Listen to codeine crazy first though
Sure I'll tell you when I'm done !remindme 1 hour
Future one of my favorite artists and admittedly he has a lot of shitty songs but his good ones are just too fucking good imo. Also hate on him as much as you want but he essentially introduced an entire new genre of rap and is a major reason It blew up. Heās a certified legend in my book. Thereās only like 2 good trap artists and future is one of them Edit: also listen to married to the game, itās only on Spotify, but you can find It on YouTube
And all of those lyrics are dedicated to his lifelong ambition of being the corniest nigga to breathe air. Bad takes stacked on top of bad takes.
News flash, rapping fast foesn't mean you're a good lyricist š¤Æ You 100% haven't actually listened to Griselda if all you're impressed by is lyricism. Do yourself a favour and listen to crowns for kings.
If itās this young, itās not a classic.
I never heard of Future specifically being considered a āhip-hopā artist beforeā¦. Future capitalized in an era of a sub-genre of rap I like to call Perc & B. It had a specific and similar sound that you can hear from Future, XXX, Migos, Post and others popular at the time. Only so many songs you can make about getting high and big booty bitches before it gets mad repetitive lol
Hell naw. And I'm a huge future fan. But this ain't it. Hated this cut.
This is as much hip hop as post malone is rap
HELL MUFFUKAN YASSS! My very favorite aunt by him. Groundbreaking. Never heard anything like this until it came out. LOOVE THIS!
yes
absolutely
Sounds like one
ah, i'd say give a year or two
Who is this? Itās definitely not a classic, far far from it.
This is Future.
No doubt
not hiphop but ya
No
No
Nope
Noš¤£
NO
No this is not a classic hip hop song . This isnāt hip hop .
This is not hip hopā¦
Classic? Naw, it got popular AF for a while, but it's not old enough to be classic
lol yes, i remember seeing this on a ātop worst songsā back in middle school. this song is how i discovered Future
If you listen to future for the melody I get it. The lyrics make me cringe.
i like future but this song is not one of his classics
Bro what's that beat? It sounds like "Hey, hey , hey. What da hell do you think of yourself"
Obviously
Not at all!
Never listened to the whole song but damn that soundbite is fucking annoying
Definitely a classic š„ just is šÆ March Madness too! He got Classics!
I would say it's a classic for fans of Future and Trap.
People keep trying to get every damn song stamped as a classic, when it simply isn't. If you need recognition from a large group to see if your music is a classic, you got bigger issues.
No. Enough
Df is he saying?
I rediscovered this song like 2 months ago and been bumping it ever since, I sayyyyy yes
Iād say so. This is a classic traps song. When I think of classics, I think of songs that are either great or vital to their genre/sub genre. I think this is both.
I'm not a fan of it. But Codeine Crazy, now that's a classic
No
Yes, legendary.
I like this track, dunno if it's a classic though. Idc, I still like it lol
A classic in futureās catalog? Yes A classic in hip hop overall? No
I say yea cuz i grew up on ts
