“WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU” - Future and Metro Boomin Album Review

The alleged Future and Drake beef continues with the release of “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU.”

Future and Metro Boomin recently collabed on the album “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” which took over the Billboard 200.

The expectations for the new 25-track album were low. High6tr5eq-tracklist albums often leave fans disappointed by the lack of quality distributed to each song, however, this album manages to jump right in on a great foot.

“WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU” is vibey and sets the tone for the album featuring The Weeknd. This song provides a more pop and R&B side of Future that relays through the entire album.

The title track is significantly ahead of every other song in streams on Spotify, and for good reason. This could easily be the best song on the album.

The epitome of an iconic duo like Future and Metro Boomin is that they cannot make a bad song.

All of their songs are well produced and objectively good, however, they set a high standard so it is clear when complacency is being accepted.

Many rappers and R&B artists assisted in the making of this album either on the production side or as a feature.

Chris Brown assisted on “Drink N Dance” and “Out Of My Hands.”

These sons along with “Jealous” lose momentum as they play out. They start off really strong but towards the end, it is hard to not look forward to what is next.

One of the most R&B-esque songs on the album is “All to Myself” featuring The Weeknd. This song is so well done.

The song is based off the 1996 Isley Brothers song “Let's Lay Together.” They do the original justice with their present-day interpretation.

The Weeknd is featured on three tracks all of which are on Disc One. Disc Two is shorter, only featuring Lil Baby and A$AP Rocky.

Back towards the middle of Disc One is “Came to the Party”. This song is a well-produced album but the lyrics are strictly reminiscent of a high school homecoming moment.

“Came to the party for the photos, show off my new outfit and show off my new bitch,” is a line that screams petty and immaturity, but nonetheless is so relatable.

Disc One finale “Red Leather” is notable for J. Cole’s verse. He comes in with a very chill vibe and lines that flow so well. This was a great finish to Disc One.

Disc Two starts off with "#1(Intro)." This is a very basic and overdone move. All this track exists of is a remix of someone gassing Future up in an interview.

Cool vibe, but overdone and not humble.

Disc Two is short and sweet keeping up with the smoother R&B style.

The best track on this side is “Show of Hands” featuring A$AP Rocky. His chorus and verse deliveries are flawless and polished.

His lines probably feature the most intense and direct disses of the whole album.

To finish up the entire album is “Streets Made Me a King.” This song is fire and references Avril Lavigne, what more could fans want?

This album is significant in the fact that it follows its predecessor not even a month later. It is a good album but it is hard to know how significant it would have been without being a sequel.

Let’s not joke around. Future and Metro ate this album up and it probably would have topped the chart if not overshadowed by their prior most recent release.

Rating: 5/10
