![]() ![]() I got a negative response to 56 Nights, even though it came to be the biggest thing I ever done, the best thing I ever done, the best project the biggest at the time. ‘March Madness,’ oh my God.”īut the day I put it out, that’s not the response it got. Now people go back and be like, “Oh, 56 Nights is a classic. It took a year damn-near to get the response that I knew it deserved the day I put it out. Nobody believed that this mixtape was gonna be bigger than Monster or Beast Mode. When I put out 56 Nights, nobody in the room could have told me that this mixtape was going to be as big as it was. That shit really fucked me up, and I closed my computer and I was like, “I’m never reading one again.” I remember when we dropped it, I had read one blog and it said something about DJ Esco collabs, which was a subpar mixtape compared to Monster and Beast Mode. I had just made pretty much in a hotel room. This is why I don’t read blogs: I have never read one in my life any music that I ever put out or Future put out ’cause it isn’t really my thing. You want to know why? I’ll tell you a quick story. You haven’t read anything about it? It’s actually been getting a pretty good response. Instead of reading them and making myself frustrated, I just don’t read them at all because I put out what I wanted to put out and I’m happy about that. I’m not one to listen to too many people’s opinions. So when you drop things, so-called music people have their opinions about what you just made. I don’t like to read blogs about when I drop music because I didn’t drop it for the blogs. ![]() I really have not been on social media or anything for real since Purple Reign. I ain’t talked to nobody since it came out. What’s the past few days been like for you since Purple Reign dropped? It’s been quiet before the storm. I don’t want to say his name yet, but something special.”Ī week after the release of Purple Reign, we spoke to the “Coolest DJ in the World” about preparing fans for Future’s upcoming Purple Reign Tour, the reason for the tape’s delay, and how a Kanye West verse almost made the cut. I’ll also be introducing an artist this year from Atlanta. “It’s going to have several artists on there. And he’s even planning on dropping his first solo album. He promises that Purple Reignwon’t be the last time Future puts out music in 2016. He says he believes that critical reviews cloud his judgment about how he makes and puts out music. Surprisingly, DJ Esco has stayed off the Internet and social media since the release of Purple Reign. The hasthag #PurpleReign trended worldwide, and proved Future’s reign is nowhere near over. After a slight delay, Future and his executive producers, Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, shared the tape early Sunday morning to a fervent response. The project, Purple Reign, was set to drop at 11:56 PM on Saturday night, a nod to his critically acclaimed mixtape, 56 Nights. The Atlanta rapper/crooner has teased - on numerous occasions - he’d be dropping new mixtapes, but none of us imagined it would come so soon. Out of nowhere on the evening of January 16, Future announced the follow-up to the chart-topping success DS 2 and What a Time to Be Alive. ![]()
