Arguably the hottest rapper of 2015 admits that he raps about drugs to portray a certain image. Future claims he’s just giving the people what they want to hear, but is this good for the urban community? Hit the jump for more.
In a recent interview Future talks about why he raps about drugs, even though he’s admits he’s not a drug addict.
I’m not like super drugged out or [a] drug addict. My music may portray a certain kind of image and I know it’s some people that might be super drugged out and they listen to the music like, ‘Ay thank you, you speaking for me’ and then some people that’s not [super drugged out] that feel like, “Man I don’t have to do drugs, I can listen to Future and feel like I’m on something’ and don’t have to try [drugs]. I don’t do it for you to really have to live that type of life.
Future does have a point. All the Atlanta rapper is doing is giving fans what they want to hear. It’s not his fault that people enjoy hearing music about drug use. Since Future started rapping about drugs again, his career skyrocketed, and if he stopped his music most likely wouldn’t be the same.
