Getting into track 10 of the weekend's album,
Hurry Up Tomorrow, titled, Enjoy the show.
I think it's very interesting how the weekend is not listing out his features
because I think that adds to the anticipation and especially the surprise factor
of hearing the superstar features such as Future and Travis Scott.
And I believe I heard Billy Elish.
But anyways, for this specific track, enjoy the show.
Guess what?
none other than future Hendricks king Atlanta himself on this track absolutely showcasing
i'm not going to say vocals but you know he did his best as far as singing and i think we appreciate
that from future especially since he has an entire body of work titled hendricks which is him
incorporating that type of sound throughout that entire body of work that i think it's pretty high quality
like when i first listened to it i was like why is he doing this and then you keep listening to it's like oh
future got into his bag on Hendrix.
Hang on line.
Hendricks is probably one of the more slept-on albums from Future,
just from the simple fact that it's a complete experimental album,
and it ended out working.
Like, how many completely experimental albums from these artists
that you grow and love for one sound you end up liking?
Like, as far as listening to an album, right?
And then if you look at it, Hendrix came out in 2017.
That's around the time he put out Future with a self-titled album Future.
with mask off he put out evolve purple rain like hendricks you would think you would think hendricks
would be the last thing you want to hear and it ended up being phenomenal so stuff like that where
if you switch it up enough your audience just may appreciate you for it but most 10 times not times that
10 ain't a lot of fans be wanting their way it's either their way or the highway so for a future to switch
it up on hendricks and have that whole crooning type of effect where you know you're trying to
sing but you can't seem but we're still listening to it i think to have down an entire body of work for hendricks
and for it to work, it's very interesting.
But to bring it full circle,
enjoy the show with The Weekend and Future is a phenomenal track.
To the point where I started to think to myself,
what collab album would I want from The Weekend?
Now, we have Travis Scott, we have Billy Elish,
we have Future on this album.
But in general, I do believe that when it comes to the weekend,
he's going to need somebody to be able to challenge him creatively.
And the name that came to my mind
for an entire collab album that will make sense
as far as an artist on the same level would be bad bunny a bad bunny in the weekend collab i think would
in all um well we'll basically end all production on earth because it would just be entire
the entire earth would basically stop what they're doing to listen to the album right so i think that
would be a great collaborative project but um this is just phenomenal this entire album i don't want to overreact
because obviously I've only listened to it twice,
which I say only, it just came out.
It's an hour and 30 minutes, I've listened to it twice.
So obviously, I enjoy the album.
Really thoroughly enjoyed the album throughout every track.
But enjoy the show with the weekend and future,
I think it's just showcasing how great of an artist,
not only the weekend is,
but also his talent for being able to incorporate other superstars
into his world and make it fit.
So with that being said,
click my link to my bio let me know one of my social media is what do you think about the track
enjoy the show by the week in the future which is uh track 10 off of his of off of the weekend's album
hurry up tomorrow and if you've heard the album what is your favorite track off of hurry up tomorrow
