Most hip-hop fans would agree on the fact that Soundcloud has given us incredible snippets. To play devil’s advocate, it may ruin the listening experience when a song gets leaked and then eventually released. But in the case of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Cinderella,” fans of the unfinished version were dying to see it get officially dropped. There was some speculation that this was going to be on UTOPIA given the time it made its way onto Soundcloud.
Instead, its home is Future and Metro Boomin’s eagerly awaited WE DON’T TRUST YOU. The album has been getting everyone talking in its first day out thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s surprise appearance. His shots toward Drake and J. Cole have been the main focus of this project for the most part. But “Cinderella” is still a big deal as well and hearing Travis Scott on it still was the cherry on top.
Listen To “Cinderella” By Future, Metro Boomin, & Travis Scott
The unreleased version feels a little louder, while this official release relies a little heavier on the atmosphere from Future and Travis’ gravelly and subdued flows. Additionally, the twinkly synths that give the beat so much character are more prevalent and sound a little different too. Some are already complaining that the trio should have just stuck with the one everybody was used to. But we are here to say that Metro, Future, and Travis still did an incredible job keeping the spirit of the fan-favorite with the welcomed tweaks.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Cinderella,” by Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott? Is this the best track on the album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance on the record? Did the trio remaster the song well, or do you prefer the Soundcloud version more?

Quotable Lyrics:
Back to back like a train Think twice tryna derail us The gang like the Goodfellas Took off, propane propellers She like gold watch, gold chain African Cinderella (Ooh)
Future and Metro Boomin finally released their full-length collaboration, We Don’t Trust You. So far, the 17-track album seems to be living up to fan expectations. It affirms the duo’s well-established chemistry and excites listeners with its hidden guest features. We Don’t Trust You also builds further anticipation for their promised second album, which drops April 12. Future and Metro Boomin certainly bring the best out of one another. We Don’t Trust You is very much a team effort, with Metro Boomin’s production as the star of the show. The beats allow Future to provide his signature rap flow and cadence.
Many of the album’s beats see Metro producing solo, as well as working with the likes of Mike Dean, Southside, Boi-1da, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Zaytoven, and more. The production continues Metro’s artistic progression that we previously witnessed on projects like Heroes & Villains and the Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse soundtrack. As we digest Future and Metro Boomin’s latest album, we are ranking the 7 best beats on We Don’t Trust You from least to greatest. Take a look at the list below.
“Slimed In” recalls the chemistry between Future and Young Thug on 2017’s Super Slimey. While Metro Boomin did not contribute to that project, the noisy production on “Slimed In” would fit quite comfortably in its tracklist. Its high-pitched melody and deep 808s back Future’s flow throughout the entire song. Metro typically offers Future busy beats compared to the cleaner and skeletal Future songs produced by Zaytoven and Southside. With the help of Prince 85, Metro provides a hard-hitting beat for the catchy “Slimed In.”
6. “Runnin Outta Time”
The beat on “Runnin Outta Time” continuously builds as the song progresses. Starting with dissonant piano and organ sounds and Future’s melodic rapping, Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, and Chris XZ add additional instruments. The synth bassline and clap-heavy percussion create a West Coast groove. The instrumentation combined with its rhythm create an engaging momentum, with Future opting for a more emotional vocal performance. The main highlight of the song is the electric guitar played by Chris XZ toward the end, making for an epic finish.
Metro Boomin is one of the notable producers that helped shape Future’s signature sound, particularly on his work post-Honest. “Fried (She A Vibe)” recalls the sound of Future’s early projects like Pluto and Streetz Calling. Its shimmering synthesizers and percussive beat drop allow Future to dip back into his older style of auto-tuned rapping. This sound is mainly due to the song’s prominent sample of “How It Was” from Future and DJ Esco’s 2014 mixtape, No Sleep. Metro Boomin and Doughboy found a way to make it modern, with its tempo and percussion blending the best of Future’s old and new trap styles. The beat on “Fried (She A Vibe)” serves as a gem for longtime Future fans.
4. “We Don’t Trust You”
The opening title track on We Don’t Trust You starts the album mysteriously. The pitched-down vocal sample of Undisputed Truth’s rendition of “Smiling Faces Sometimes” creates a sense of uncertainty as the beat progresses. The trumpets help build the song’s tension before transitioning into a traditional trap beat. Throughout the intro, the atmospheric production feeds into the concept of Future and Metro’s distrust. The ending embellishments of instrumentation, sound effects, and the scratching of Metro’s iconic tag showcase their chemistry, ensuring fans that they are in for an exciting listening experience.
The seamless transition from the opening nod to Metro Boomin’s producer tag into “Young Metro” strengthens the impact of the beat drop. The production is spacious, leaving room for Future to take center stage during the verses. The instrumental highlight of the track is on the chorus, where The Weeknd lends a heavenly vocal performance. While not a complete feature, his guest appearance is practically used as an additional instrument, which adds to the momentum created by the title track. The synth leads on “Young Metro” have Mike Dean written all over it as the veteran musician co-produced the song.
2. “Everyday Hustle”
We Don’t Trust You primarily sticks to Future and Metro Boomin’s traditional trap sound. Compared to other moments on the tracklist, “Everyday Hustle” sticks out automatically with its chipmunked sample of Alfreda Brockinto’s “I’ll Wait For You.” The solo introduction of the sample and gradual addition of thumping trap percussion is reminiscent of Metro Boomin’s “Feel the Fiyaaaah” from Heroes & Villains. The sample’s lyrics also recall the sample of Tem’s “Higher” on Future’s “Wait For U.” “Everyday Hustle” is undoubtedly one of the best beats on We Don’t Trust You.
Future sounds comfortable and the beat was practically made for Rick Ross, who specializes in this style of production. At the end of the song, Metro Boomin chops the sample into a soulful boom-bap beat, over which Future excels. He flows similarly to his verse on Ross’s “Warm Winds In A Cold War.” “Everyday Hustle” certainly affirms that Metro Boomin’s production skills transcend trap music.
1. “Like That”
“Like That” is already an instant standout track on We Don’t Trust You. The song has taken the hip-hop community by storm, with Kendrick Lamar’s fiery surprise guest verse dismissing the idea of him, Drake, and J. Cole as “The Big Three.” Kendrick’s vicious lyrical performance is definitely a major moment and Future’s catchy flow is also enjoyable, but Metro Boomin’s production is the driving force behind the song. The sped-up sample of Rodney O and Joe Cooley’s “Everlasting Bass” catches listeners off guard, signifying a bouncy trap banger. The rapid percussion is uniquely southern and its menacing bassline feeds more energy to the song. There is also the inclusion of Eazy-E’s “Eazy-Duz-It,” which has been prominently sampled for Logic’s “Under Pressure” and The Game and Kanye West’s “Eazy.” Thanks to its production, “Like That” is a thrilling burst of energy on We Don’t Trust You.
Future and Metro Boomin’s eagerly awaited collaborative album We Don’t Trust You finally arrived today, and needless to say, the fallout has been major. Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” is going especially viral, as he ripped Drake and J. Cole to shreds. “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he rhymes. “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack.”
He clearly left little room for interpretation, and for obvious reasons, his verse has social media users split. While most can agree that Kendrick’s feature is a highlight on the album, others wish he would have spared Drizzy, and are curious about what this means for his relationship with Future and Metro Boomin. He’s yet to comment on the debacle publicly, but some recent shots of his trip to Miami seem to paint a pretty clear picture of where he’s at right now.
In the photos, Drake looks sad as he strolls down the sidewalk, though it’s unconfirmed whether or not this is due to Kendrick’s diss. In one of the photos, he’s wearing earbuds, and some commenters joke that he might have been bumping “Like That” for the first time. “Bro was listening to Kendrick cooking him,” one fan writes. “Look at his face he def listening to the verse,” another says.
While many users think he’s down in the dumps, others think he’s plotting, and will be quick to respond with a diss of his own. What do you think of Drake looking sad in his new photos from Miami? Do you think Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” diss hit him hard? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Future and Metro Boomins’s eagerly anticipated collaborative album We Don’t Trust You arrived today, and clearly, the duo wasn’t looking to dodge any smoke. As listeners continue to speculate about who’s dissing who, Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” is going especially viral. He goes after Drake and J. Cole on the track, leaving little to no room for interpretation.
“F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps. “Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me.” For obvious reasons, fans are out in full force sharing their reactions to the diss on social media. Amid all of the discussion and debate, some users have dug up a clip from Future and Metro Boomin’s recent performance at Rolling Loud, which featured an appearance from Travis Scott.
In the clip, Travis Scott is seen onstage, encouraging the duo to play “Like That.” He seemed pretty insistent, leaving users suspecting that he might have his own issues with Drake. While it remains unclear exactly what’s causing so much tension among the former collaborators, fans note that nearly everyone seems to have it out for Drake these days. Some listeners even think Future dissed him on “We Don’t Trust You,” seemingly ruling out any future collabs.
“You a n***a number one fan, dog/ Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/ Pillowtalkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/ I don’t need another fake friend, dog/ Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/ In you feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” he rhymes. What do you think of a clip revealing that Travis Scott wanted Future and Metro Boomin to play the viral Drake diss at Rolling Loud? Are you surprised?

Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album We Don’t Trust You has already sparked plenty of discussion about who’s dissing who, but Kendrick Lamar left little room for interpretation on his feature. The hitmaker drags both Drake and J. Cole on “Like That,” and has since gone viral for it. “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps. “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack.”
Amid the fallout from the diss, social media sleuths have dug up a clip of J. Cole talking about Metro Boomin in a vlog last month, and having nothing but nice things to say about him. “I was in the studio the other night and [Metro Boomin] was in there cooking up,” he says in the clip. “Everything is just like confident steps, you’re not judging it, you’re not thinking about it.”
While some fans think a response from J. Cole is necessary, others think Kendrick’s bars were really aimed at Drake, and J. Cole was just collateral. Either way, fans aren’t happy, and continue to debate on which of the rappers is really the GOAT. Kendrick Lamar wasn’t the only one throwing shade on the new album either, as Future also seemingly went after Drake on the project’s title track.
“You a n***a number one fan, dog/ Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/ Pillowtalkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/ I don’t need another fake friend, dog/ Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/ In you feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” he rhymes. What do you think of J. Cole’s praise for Metro Boomin? What about Kendrick Lamar dragging him and Drake on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Pusha T is someone who is not friendly with Drake. Overall, the feud between the two had been ongoing for years, but it was happening below the surface. However, once 2018 came around, all bets were off. Push ended up dropping a diss track called “Story Of Adidon,” which had some huge revelations about Drake’s personal life. It was one of the most scathing diss tracks we have heard in quite some time, and fans continue to talk about it. In fact, whenever Drake is dissed, fans harken back to Pusha’s song.
A great example of this is what happened today with Kendrick Lamar. By now, you probably know that he dissed Drake and J. Cole on the track “Like That.” This song is on the new Future and Metro Boomin album called We Don’t Trust You. In this track, Kendrick says he is not part of a big three, and that his music will outlast Drake’s. All of these disses are done in a much subtler way, but we digress.
With this diss out in the ether, Pusha T began trending on social media. As you can see from the tweets below, fans began to fantasize about how Push must be feeling about all of this. It even led to some humorous memes, and questions about why Pusha T didn’t at least get a couple of bars on the song. Having Pusha T on the song probably would have been overkill. That said, there is no doubt that he is probably sitting back and laughing at the situation.
Pusha T Gets Thrown Into The Fire
Let us know what you thought of the Kendrick Lamar diss, in the comments section down below. Do you think Drake and J. Cole are going to respond? Do you believe Pusha T should throw his hat into the ring on all of this? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Future and Metro Boomin’s eagerly awaited collaborative album We Don’t Trust You has finally arrived, and fans are already hard at work dissecting each verse. On the second verse of the project’s title track, for example, Future goes in on an unnamed opp, leaving listeners to speculate. “You a n***a number one fan, dog/ Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/ Pillowtalkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/ I don’t need another fake friend, dog/ Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/ In you feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” he rhymes.
Some Instagram users in Akademiks’ comments section suspect that the lyrics are aimed at Drake, as it’s rumored that the two MCs have had beef brewing for years. Many believe the repetition of “Dog” in Future’s verse is a reference to Drake’s For All The Dogs, and are digging up reasons why the former collaborators could be at war.
Future & Metro Boomin Drop New Collaborative Album
For one, fans think Drake delaying the release of What a Time to Be Alive 2 in favor of Her Loss with 21 Savage could have sparked some animosity. There’s also talk that Drake could have slept with Future’s girl at some point. Commenters even note that Future seemingly sided with Metro Boomin amid his rumored feud with Drake last year, indicating that there could be tension behind the scenes.
Future isn’t the only one believed to have gone after Drake on We Don’t Trust You, however. Kendrick Lamar appears on a track called “Like That,” and threw some pretty direct jabs at the Canadian hitmaker as well as J. Cole. “F**k sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps. “I still got PTSD, motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me!” What do you think of Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album? Who do you think Future dissed on “We Don’t Trust You”? What about the speculation it was Drake? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Kendrick Lamar set the rap world on fire overnight thanks to his verse on “LIKE THAT” off Metro Boomin and Future’s new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU. On it, he dissed the concept of a “Big Three” in 2010s hip-hop, calling out his other competitors Drake and J. Cole for their sneak disses and for not being on his level. Overall, the Compton lyricist also had a lot of other elements that made that guest verse great, but it’s only been a couple of hours since it dropped and fans are still reeling from this assertive performance. What’s more is that a lot of fans are also seeing how history repeats itself in hip-hop sometimes, thanks to another big release this week.
Moreover, according to many reactions on social media, Kendrick Lamar upstaged Big Sean again by dissing the rap game, just like he had done 11 years ago on their Jay Electronica-assisted collab “Control.” This time around, Kendrick’s verse overshadowed conversation around Sean’s new song “Precision” and excitement for his upcoming album. Obviously, saying that either MC completely made the other irrelevant is a big stretch, and the Detroit spitter still got plenty of deserved love for his skill. But at the end of the day, a lot of fans found it curious how he just keeps getting bad luck when it comes to stepping to the pgLang creative.
Kendrick Lamar’s Guest Verse On “LIKE THAT” & Big Sean’s “Precision”: Listen
In addition, this is made all the more interesting thanks to Big Sean’s recently released “Anderson Estate” freestyle. On that loosie, he also disses the concept of the “Big Three,” shading Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake, and the reverence of them in hip-hop discourse. It’s definitely true that this assessment can unfairly leave others out of the conversation, but that’s just the nature of competition. Check out reactions to this rift down below.

Also, you can check out general reactions to the “LIKE THAT” verse here. What did you think of these singles and disses, where do you think these two hip-hop artists stand with each other, and does this go deeper than mere competition? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments below. As always, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar is a rapper who takes his time between releases. However, this has made some contemporary rap fans angry. Most are not used to artists taking their time. Instead, they are used to being given a new project every year. Consequently, it has led to Kendrick being underestimated. It has also led to people claiming that Drake and J. Cole are above him right now. Well, it seems as though Kendrick has been listening to these critiques, and he decided to respond.
By now, you have probably heard “Like That” on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album We Don’t Trust You. On this song, Kendrick takes direct shots at Drake and Cole. He says that there is no such thing as a big three and that it is just “big me.” He also claims that their music is a “light pack” while also noting that Prince lived longer than Michael Jackson. For those who don’t get it, Drake is considered the MJ of rap, and back in the day, Prince and MJ had a rivalry, with Prince being seen as the more risk-taking and experimental artist. Needless to say, Kendrick took some heavy shots.
Subsequently, social media erupted in a fury as people tried to get their reactions off. As you can see down below, many were making memes about the situation. Moreover, Kendrick was praised for this verse with some saying that this is the best he has sounded in years. Others said these bars will cut deep, and that we could very well see a summer of diss tracks and back and forths. Only time will tell if this is the case.
The Internet Weighs In

J.Cole: Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me? We the big three like we started a league.
Kendrick Lamar is easily one of the biggest artists in the rap game, and getting a feature from him can be pretty rare these days. Overall, he has been a bit reclusive as he only pops out on his Finsta from time to time. However, Metro Boomin and Future have a ton of influence, and they were able to convince him to join them on We Don’t Trust You. The new album dropped last night and fans are loving the project so far. That said, all eyes are currently on the Kendrick collab “Like That” and for good reason.
This song begins with some nice melodic production that sounds hard in your headphones. It is the perfect beat for Future, who glides over the track at the beginning and end. In the middle, we find Kendrick who spits venomous bars about his peers. On numerous occasions, he makes reference to Drake and even J. Cole, although he doesn’t say them by name. Either way, it is clear that he wants sole ownership of “best rapper alive” and does not care about the “Big Three” claims.
“Motherfuck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me,” Kendrick says on the song. Since J. Cole and Drake have been on tour, some have been saying that Kendrick is no longer better than those two. Instead, there are now debates about Cole being a better lyricist. There are even fans who think Drake would wash Kendrick in a diss track competition. Well, it seems like we are about to find out now that Lamar has broken the internet with his new verse.
Let us know what you think of this new track from Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar, in the comments section down below. Do you think J. Cole and Drake are going to respond to Kendrick? Was this the best diss of the last few years? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Quotable Lyrics:
