2956537, DS2 is a masterpiece to me

Monster has amazing highs ("Codeine Crazy" / "Fuck Up Some Commas" / "Hardly") but is scattered in quality otherwise. 56 Nights is dope start to finish, albeit a little short (less than 28 minutes of actual music). Southside said it's Future's best project by far and I wouldn't really argue vehemently against it.

Dirty Sprite 2 is immaculate, though. "Thought It Was a Drought", with those ominous first notes, is one of the most appropriate intros ever -- this is going to be an hour* of dark, drugged, nihilistic and amazing music.

thematically it's the tightest of his projects, aurally it's the most cohesive, and lyrically it's some of his best lines and hooks ("Slave Master" is Future's whole ethos). I fuck with everything Future has made in the last year, but DS2 is forever his magnum opus to me. if he tops that, I'd be amazed.

*I'm speaking on the deluxe version of DS2, of course.
