Future Album Review: The Real Me

The transcript blends promotional content with a deep-dive podcast episode analyzing Future’s new album *The Real Me*. It highlights how Future attempts to shed past toxic imagery while still acknowledging its presence, revealing a more human, self-reflective persona. The episode explores vivid and often humorous lyrics—like those about peeing, intimacy, and building a “bitch”—to examine themes of vulnerability, personal responsibility, and cultural exchange. Specific songs such as “2018” and “Snow in Sky” are dissected for their raw honesty, where Future shows contradictions in his desires and actions. Listener submissions add depth, showing how personal and societal issues are embedded in his music. The analysis emphasizes that even the most explicit or absurd lines reflect a realistic, complex humanity. The podcast also includes promotional segments for MintMobile, Carhartt, Shopify, and Stitch Fix, while maintaining its central focus on lyrical interpretation and emotional truth. Ultimately, the episode celebrates Future’s artistic authenticity and invites listeners to engage with his work not just as entertainment, but as a mirror of human experience.

Welcome to My Favorite Lyrics, the podcast where we talk about music lyrics, except when we talk about other stuff. And you know what? Today, I just decided I wanted to do an emergency future recording. I was just like, he's been one of the main characters of this show, and he just put an album out. It's called The Real Me. And I was just like, yeah, I feel like we got to get into it. Specifically because leading into this album, Future basically was like, you know what? I've put all the toxicity behind me. I'm not doing the toxicity. Now I'm ready to show people the real version of myself. And I listened to the album, and guess what? He's still basically the same. He hasn't shifted in any notable way as somebody who's been a fan of his music for quite some time. I think a big part of it was Future leading up to this saying like, hey, I'm a different guy now. All that toxic shit I was talking about, it's not that anymore. I want you guys to get introduced to the real me. And then there's a bar in the song Snow in Sky and Me where he says, trying to stay away from that toxic shit, but I can't deny it. It's almost like, it's almost like, I mean, I guess that's actually the most human a person could be, right? It's the most human you could be is like, hey, I want to push back against this thing I don't like about myself, but it is just like, it's in me. And Future's got the toxicity. That's just what's going on. And so in this episode today, we're going to go through some of my personal favorite lyrics, the title of the podcast, remember that? We're going to go into my own stuff, and we're also going to go into some listener submitted stuff from this album. The Real Me. And then we're also going to dive into just some general Future stuff that's been submitted. I posted on Instagram asking people if they had any recommendations or anything that they wanted to get into. And guess what? Quite a bit came up. So yeah, we're going to be discussing that. And it's just me by myself. I haven't done a solo ep in some time. Am I afraid? Yes. Yeah, I'm scared. This is, it's just, it's just, I'm just talking by myself. It feels insane. I guess some of y'all would say it's the same as doing standup, but it's like, oh, what if you were doing standup and nobody was responding at all? That's what this feels like. So definitely excited about this experience. I'm afraid. I'm nervous. I'm thrilled to get into this with y'all. Let's dive into some Future. My, my personal favorite song from the whole joint is 2018 because he gets back into his la-di-da-di-da voice, which is to say he's talking all squeaky and weird. And I, my favorite stuff about Future is when he gets really strange and decides to do a voice that he never really does. The whole song just starts with him going, posted in the trap with a rusted 380. And it's insane. It's insane and it's strange, but it's also really beautiful. I went on Twitter and searched posted in the trap with a rusted 380 and there was like a thousand hits because it just hits your soul in that type of way. It does, dare I say it, what Future does, which is something that shouldn't work, but it absolutely does. And in that song in particular, one of my favorite bars is, you know what? Let's actually start light. Let's, let's start, maybe not light. Light's probably not the word, but we're going to, we're going to lead into the joint that I'm thinking about. Future on 2018 goes, mother fuck the broad. I'm going to pour my cup. Say I switched up coding coming out my cock, which I think is really beautiful, right? He's saying mother fuck that broad. I'm going to do what I need to do. I'm going to pour my cup up. People said I switched up. Check my cock out. That's tight. They said I switched up coding coming out my cock. You also, also he's getting cocked back involved. That's what I'm saying. That's not a word that's getting used in a lot of rap songs. A lot of rappers are using it and they're, they're going in a different direction with their, with their, with their penis jargon. This man's, this man said, they said I switched up. No, I didn't. There's coding coming out my cock. I'm the same. Incredible. Incredible. 10 out of 10. And that's just, and that's just part of the. The part, the part that really hit me the hardest on that exact same. No, hold on. I'm not even ready to get there. I forgot about this. There's another part where he's still doing the little squeaky voice where he goes, see my dashboard, babe. I European nasty bitch tried to suck me while I was peeing. I let her eat it up because it was on the hand. Just to simplify that a little bit for the people who don't understand the squeaky. He goes, see my dashboard, baby by European, right? Look at my dashboard. It's a European dashboard. Nasty bitch tried to suck me while I was peeing, which I'm with your future. I'm with you. That's that's gross because it's like, she can't wait until you're done. She can't wait. It's only going to take a couple of seconds, 30 seconds. You could be done with the whole activity. Y'all could get involved in whatever y'all want to get involved with. But, uh, she's not doing that. He's trying to pee. She's trying to see that dick in the moment. And I, if you try to stand by you, that's gross. If anybody out here actually. You know what? I'm not going to say it's gross because maybe that's the way that you like to live and, and I don't want to yuck anybody's yum. So if any, y'all trying to do a piss situation, like live your life to the fullest. I'm sorry for, I'm sorry for raining on your parade, um, uh, into the, to the woman who said that, or so the woman who's doing that's a future, I'm sorry that he called you a nasty bitch and I'm sorry that I agreed with him. I changed my tune. I'm actually, I'm on a different side of it now also, but then after he said this nasty bitch was tried to suck me while I was peeing and he goes, I let her eat it up cause I was on the hen. Which he flips it immediately. He goes immediately from being like, she's nasty. I was trying to piss to be like, yeah, but I'll let her do it though. Which also, again, that's as human as a person could be. It's as human as a person to be, to be like, oh, that actually, like, I'm actually not interested in that. And then he gave it some time. He gave us some thought. He said, nah, that nasty bitch can suck me while I was peeing special. That's special. That's artistry. That's something that everybody can't do this. And I just want to be really clear about that. Um, and now we'll get into ultimately. Ultimately was, which was one of my favorite joints, not only on this song, but just on the entire album, which was, uh, I gave a check to your whole, no pin, I gave a check to your whole, no pin, which is really awesome. It's really awesome. You'd be like, yeah, I'm a, I'm a handing her a check. I'm not going to let her alter it though. I'm not going to give her access to a pin. I'm not going to get a, she can't do nothing with it though. Ah, incredible. My favorite bar of the entire album, he goes, I give a bad bitch to my brother. She a mixed breed. I'm a fucker. Hit her in the bath, no bubbles. It's such a vivid image that he's painting, right? Where he's involved with a mixed race woman, which God bless live your life. Hey, we've all lived like that a time or two in our life, right? Yeah. That's, that feels totally normal. Then he said he hits her in the bath. He's fucking his girl in the bath, no bubbles. Do you know what kind of demon time you gotta be on to run a whole bath and not let a bubble be involved? Do you understand what I'm saying? He's he ran a whole bath. And then you'd imagine if you're this woman, you're like, oh cool, we're about to do like some bubble bath activities. Imagine future fills up the whole bath enough for two adult sized people. And he said, Hey, it's time to fucking here now. And she goes, what about bubbles? No, he goes, no, it won't be no bubbles involved. Well, I've imagined a future being like, no, we're not putting no, we're not putting no fucking bubbles in the bath. We're not. I don't do that. We getting in there and we fucking on the flat water. We ain't doing nothing festive. We ain't turning the Jacuzzi jets on. We ain't doing none of that. We ain't doing no bath bombs. We ain't getting nothing frizzy involved. Not even for a moment. I'm fucking, you know, bubbles, I'm fucking you flat dead sea, dead sea, the whole shit not moving. No current. I'm fucking it in. I hit her in the bath. No bubbles. Why can't there be bubbles? Future future. If you're listening, we know that you are. Why did you not put no bubbles in the tub? And some people are going to say, Oh, Devin, you're digging too much into this. Oh, Devin, you probably, oh, you need to just, oh, Devin, you're taking it too serious. That's the show. The whole show is taking it too serious. That's why I made it to take shit serious. That's not it. Sometimes people will comment. They'll be, they'll hit me in the comments. So it'd be like, Oh, so this guy's just going to, he's just going to like make jokes. Jokes about some stuff. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That is what I'm going to do. And guess what? I'm having a blast. I'm having a fucking blast 2018 incredible song. Go listen to it if you haven't heard it. But also I would guess if you listen to this podcast, you've probably heard it on multiple occasions and you know, in, in the event that you haven't get involved, get involved and future if you're listening, we know that you are. We really would like to talk to you. really would like to talk to you. I'm not sure. that episode would go uh you you seem like you seem like you don't really like to do interviews you seem like you probably wouldn't want to uh be silly but uh regardless i'd like you to know the invitation is there is present um now we're going to move on to another song it's called uh it's called build a bitch right and uh for some of you it's gonna that's gonna sound kind of familiar you're gonna be like oh that sounds sounds similar to something like like build a bear like a thing that i used to do in the mall and i'd be happy to report to you that it's exactly like that it's pretty much exactly like that except future is trying to build the baddest bitch that he possibly can that's where his heart is right so it's like he's the whole song is him envisioning like if i had to build a bitch which i do like that the whole song is if i had to build a bitch is how i build that bitch i like it because it implies that someone is being like hey future you're gonna have to you're gonna have to go and build a bitch from scratch he's not saying like if i could or if i wanted to he is the way that he's like oh if i had to do it which in which i which in my mind does happen in future's life in my in my mind there is times where he does probably have to build a bitch in whatever way that looks uh and you know it starts in a good place he goes whole lot of self-esteem yeah whole lot of potential whole lot of confidence with a which is interesting to me about the the watch of it all because that does i like i like your you're building this bitch and she already got a president she already has an expensive watch on just as you build her i like that that is like a necessity for him um that's beautiful then he goes whole lot of loving on her whole lot of fire in her soul whole lot of sex in her give me your control hold on future wait a second wait a second i do understand that you are building the bitch but i also you can't be like yeah if i build a bitch i'm gonna build one that i can control specifically you can't say the album's not gonna be on some toxic shit and be like yeah if i could build a woman i'd definitely be in full control of what she had going on you know it's contradictory but again that's just human i guess not not me human that's not my type of human but it is a it's kind of a human way to be so to speak um where else does he say he says whole lot of vacations take shorty down whole lot of making up the world go around whole lot of etiquette she earned her crown whole lot of baby hairs and going out of style which i just i think that's i think that's incredible her she got her baby hairs laid down and she's gonna be in style forever i think that's really really lovely um that his that his girl got her baby hairs laid that's that's gorgeous um she ain't got no manners come through with no panties that throat she got that girl deserve a grammy incredible bar here right because it's like throat right he's getting he's getting sucked off by this lady but also the throat so good like a singer she deserves a grammy he's saying she's the aretha franklin of the throat game and i think that's really incredible she deserves a lot of awards um i forgot about this he goes she's sophisticated with a little ratchet she never needy unless she horny now future that's it's maybe not a fair expectation to set it's maybe you can't be like oh like i like this she never needs anything except for dick it's just not it's maybe not a good place to start if you're trying to build i guess what are you trying to build i guess that's the question he's trying to build a bitch is this a bitch that he loves or is this a bitch that he sees on nights and weekends who's to say i guess future is but we're we're probably not gonna get that answer from him ultimately um he says she never needy unless she horny in the morning i'm in her mouth right with her when she yawning which it feels rude future it feels rude she just woke up she first thing in the morning she ain't brush her teeth or get a glass of water and it's now it's now it's now it's dick in the future a future future let me get my situation together first before it's i just yawned i just yawned i was dick in there it feels kind of inconsiderate which also reminds me of a future song future has this verse on um on a song called red leather where he says uh times got hard and i off your lashes which future times is already hard why are you doing that to this woman lashes she just got them done and now now because y'all having a bad time now you're taking out the frustration now her whole lash situation is fucked up now she got to go back and you already know the times is hard the times is complicated so you probably don't even really got if times is hard you probably can't even like get things together to get her more lashes so not everybody in a bad situation don't act like that future is rude snow and sky amy um really really nice song really really incredible art here um it's just about how he makes it snow and sky amy and i guess the snow the snow could be a couple of things depending on depending on the way that you want to look at it um you know it's it's either i can't tell in this one if he's talking about like he makes his snow like like a colder version of making it rain like he's throwing so much money in the air that it's it's like snowing down money or if he's like oh it's so much coke that i brought into the city that is snowing in sky amy regardless he's painted a beautiful picture and that's it's where it's where he says snow bunnies all in miami i'm drinking lean at the grammy oh when i heard it i thought he was saying he was drinking lean of his grammy or is he saying he's drinking it at the grammy awards who's to say regardless he's painted a picture that i'm seeing and i like it starting a business can seem like a daunting task unless you have a partner like shopify they have the tools you need to

going to be able to get up and walk he's saying he's not going to be able to get up and walk because he's been stepping that hard y'all gotta step y'all pin up brother y'all gotta step y'all pin up

stepping y'all gotta step y'all shit up brother y'all step y'all shit up and that's also that's that's also uh where we get the bar that we talked about before where he says i got too many of these automar hoes i can't even hide it trying to stay from that toxic shit but i can't deny it he can't he can't he wants to be different but he's not he's future shut up also in snow and sky i mean future says i hit a little bitch in the lobby i had her screaming my name and i got some questions about this because it's like future why are you fucking in the lobby presumably you stand in a hotel you got a room you could go to you go up to rooms probably on a high floor it's probably a nice room you fucking this girl in the lobby now you ruining everybody else experience you know what i'm saying imagine it's a it's a fucking it's a family of eight it's a family eight they just went to disney world they went to disney world and they drove down to miami and guess who they see super future future hendrix knocking out a girl right by the concierge it's just again it's like we got to think about on a certain level future we got to be more considerate i just think you got and she's screaming too so it's like loud imagine i'm at the i'm at the spot i'm in the cafe i'm in the cafe i got wired headphones and i'm just trying to listen to something trying to listen to a podcast of some sort now i got fucking future over here she's screaming out one of his many aliases and now i got to look over and now and now my whole situation disturbed that's just something it's just something we got to think about collectively just as a group because i think there's just there's other people around future it's other people you could just you could take that to the room take that to the room start the bath don't put no bubbles in it live the way that you want but also just know we got to be here too in trench coat off of future's new album he has one of my very favorite moments where he's singing and he goes i fuck your bm on meds i gave my bms and um the first time i heard it i thought he was saying he gave his bms away like he gave his baby moms away like he didn't want those women anymore but then i went and looked into the lyrics and he's saying i gave my bms like like the luxury brand like he's giving them like shit from the way they which to me is kind of a worse bar but he says it the way he's i gave my bms which the way that he the way that he pronounces it in the shit does make it so much harder like that does make it so much flyer even though i do like just it consistent with future's whole kind of deal i do think i gave my bms away would have been better and am i in a position really to uh recommend bars to somebody who does it professionally not really not really but i did it and that's just that's where we landed today also just just sing that to yourself the next time you've got a little bit of alone time just say i fuck your bm on meds i gave my bm away it'll just whatever you got going on i guarantee you it'll make it better i just that's just something i know from from my life and my experiences on tank top pluto which i think is another incredible song future's got a moment where he goes uh i got three main bitches i'm loving on i call my wife which is uh you know polyamorous king polyamorous king my boy my boy got three wives my boy living like he living like a sultan that's uh that's really incredible stuff um yeah shout out shout out shout out to that um i shout out to the way that you're living i've never really heard him talk about having a wife in any capacity ever before i like that he went from like being like none of these bitches and my wife to be like i got three of them thanks i got three of them things and i'm ready for the responsibility special special special artist on konichiwa another really special song about future's journeys in japan he goes he goes i fucked an african bitch in japan she hold on she goes i fucked an african bitch and she goes i fucked an african bitch in japan that host said konichiwa i fucked an african bitch in japan that host said konichiwa and um i think if you just want to talk about painting an image i think if you just want to paint just like just a picture of something that can be seen so vividly i mean that's what this looks like right he's fucking an african bitch she doesn't talk like that normally but she's with future she's speaking in japanese he also fucked an english bitch out in japan that bitch said konichiwa as well that's it is interesting a future got no japanese women involved because that seems like the main women that should probably be saying konichiwa but i do like that he's got other he's he's bringing cultures together right he's bringing cultures together because he fucked that african that african bitch didn't used to say konichiwa until she got around future the english bitch i guarantee you she was not saying konichiwa until she got around future now guess what they all around future hendrix they speak in japanese they doing stuff they now multilingual i don't know what the african woman was speaking before language i don't know what the african woman was speaking before language i don't know what the african woman was speaking before language i don't know what the language was but now she's got japanese in there as well as well as this this woman from the uk everybody's saying konichiwa um he goes konichi i just went to dc nothing but the peach tree catalog cheat cheat i just like what he's got going on man i just think i just think it's i just think it's good i just think it's good i think he's i don't think overall in this album i don't think that he goes into a lot of new places i think if you've heard a lot of his output in the last i don't know eight to ten years i think this goes right alongside it he doesn't i don't know if he has like a brand new gear to go to like i don't know if he's got like a brand new place that we're like well we've never seen him go there but i think it's because he's already gone so far like i don't it's it's it's hard he might have out innovated himself because he he created so much of a style that like so many people have like taken and tried to make their own that it's uh it's tough to know where he goes from here i am still going to be listening i'm still going to be enjoying i still like hearing the freaky little shit he'd be doing with his voice i think it's fascinating um but yeah i think i think the first half of the album really resonated with me let me just give it a look just so i see what's going on in here we got we got fucking interview great song we got california girls which is the single and i just want to point to california girls really quickly me and my homie and carlton we're talking about this me and the buddies in the group chat we're we're talking about the california girls music video um it feels so perfectly future because he is it is just him and travis scott in like a mansion with a bunch of like video girls in bikinis but future looks so sad the whole time the whole time go back and watch the music video we'll put some of the some of the still shots i've got them i've got them saved me and the homies were talking about this he couldn't all every single time there's a bad bitch around he looks dejected and i'm just like man if that ain't if that ain't the type of artist that that's speaking to me because it's like you ever just be you ever be in the spot and and granted i'm not in that type of spot i'm not in i'm not in the the the mansion wherever they were with with asses shaking next to my neck i'm not doing that but i have been in an environment i've been in the function where it should be it's a lot of women around and it is just like yeah i'm pretty sad and i'm pretty sad i got some shit going on actually and it's not really it's not really hitting in that same way and then he's also got travis scott he's also got travis scott let me pull let me find this i think it's such an incredible image because there is just like a whole woman's pussy right next to his head and he's looking away from it and he's looking downward he's and it's like yeah that's that's actually kind of it that's actually really honest a lot of people won't show you this side of me but i'm not going to show you this side of me it a lot of people just show you the side where they're running through all the bitches not a lot of people will show you the part where the pussy's right there and you're just like i don't i can't even think about that right now i kind of got my own shit going on that i gotta confront that's i get it trav this is maybe the closest i've ever felt to travis scott it's i i've never really been able to like get his whole deal but on this i feel you brother i feel you i didn't i've been there i didn't seen it all right i think that's pretty much everything that we got um that we wanted to talk about those are some of like the ones that stood out to me the most but now i want to go into some general future stuff that was submitted by the fans this is all these are all fan submissions some of them are from this album some of them aren't but regardless they're future bars and they're incredible and also i'll probably go into a couple other artists just because we're here um we've got we've got somebody who submitted a lyric that said excuse my lingo when i call you but bitch you know i talk like that apparently it's from a song called my ho too which is really beautiful because that does imply the existence of a my whole one which means that he was saying my ho quite a bit and then somebody confronted him about it and he was like you know what i'm gonna need to address this i'll address this on the sequel my ho too and when i address it i'm not going to apologize i'm not going to say anything resembling an apology at all you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna say you knew what it was you knew i spoke like that you didn't have to come to the house you don't have to come to the house i talk like that so get with it or get lost and uh you know that's a way that i could never really live my life but it does feel it feel i've got a certain aspiration or admiration for anybody who can't live like that i've got an admiration for anybody who uh who can live so strongly on their principles even if their principles are misguided so shout out to that one this isn't she said i asked my ex what song reminded him of me and he said the percocet and stripper joint which hey rachel i don't know your life i don't know if any of that is really applicable but i understand just title wise if it's not applicable to your life why you maybe wouldn't enjoy that uh i get why that's maybe not your bag i get why you wouldn't like that your man did that um i will say to your ex-boyfriend's credit it is an incredible song i don't know if you listened to it because you were probably offended by what happened but i will say go ahead and run that one one time go ahead and run that one one time i think when you hear him say when the beat drops and you hear him say i get mad zooted i got this bad thing i recruited it might make you feel a little different i'll just say just just visit it visit i'm not saying that he was right i'm just saying he's got good musical taste oh also i got this i got this fan submission from uh from a bar where future goes you , bitch ain't seeing me, bitch ain't gonna pee on me you stupid slut here's the thing the piss stuff has come up now twice on the album and it's kind of it's both times him being like i'm not i probably won't get involved with piss stuff but then it's like it's clearly it's involved in your life it's involved in your life and sometimes you got to ask yourself how you keep ending up in certain situations so it's like i see you saying maybe the piss stuff is not for you but i'm just just let's just maybe consider maybe just maybe just say certain things happen in a certain moment in a certain place for a reason i'll just i'm just i just think that's the thing that you should you know it's a thing to know because it's like you know like if i find myself in a situation where i'm just like damn like there's always like ribs around me everywhere i go like niggas always eating ribs ribs is really present in my life on like a day-to-day basis at a certain point like i can't keep blaming the ribs i gotta look at where i'm putting myself at i gotta consider that i gotta put i gotta put myself in my own shoes really take a look in the mirror a hard look in the mirror and be like why i'm always in these rib situations maybe future you got to do that instead of calling her a stupid slut maybe like hey i'm ending up in piss play a good amount people are offering up piss play to me what's that say about the way that i'm living i just learned something i didn't know about this i didn't know about this my ho too is not a sequel my ho too is not a sequel he's using the two like as well that's my ho additionally in addition to you and the whole chorus is if that's your ho then that's my ho too which you know that's just sharing that's just that's just sharing and as much as it it kind of sounds crazy i think it's like maybe maybe that woman's living the time of her life maybe she always wanted to have two niggas involved with her you know what i'm saying so it's like i think future's saying it to kind of flex and he's being like like she's not yours she's mine but maybe it's like maybe she belonged to the streets maybe she belonged to the future and this man maybe she's just maybe we're just like a family which is the thing
