Future & Metro Boomin Bring Out Travis Scott In Brooklyn: Watch

Future and Metro Boomin are currently on tour, where they are supporting their most recent releases, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. Both of these albums have been heralded as some of the best of the entire year. Having said that, there is quite a debate being had about whether or not their tour has been a success. With the Drake beef ongoing, Drizzy fans have been trying to get viral “gotchas” on both artists, with screenshots of half-empty arenas.

However, it is clear that the tour is, in fact, a success. Overall, the best example we have of this went down last night as both artists were in Brooklyn. The arena appeared to be completely packed, which is certainly good news for both artists. Moreover, they brought out none other than Travis Scott, which had the crowd going absolutely wild. You can see Travis’ appearance at the show, in the clip down below courtesy of the NFR Podcast.

Having said all of that, it will be interesting to see what these three have next in the collaborative pipeline. They are always crafting new hits, and we’re sure we will be getting something sooner rather than later. Until then, fans will just have to be extremely patient.

Future & Metro Boomin Take A Victory Lap In Visuals For “Streets Made Me A King”

Future and Metro Boomin continue to prove that they are one of the most inseparable duos in hip-hop. After assisting Mr. Hendrix on his R&B-flavored sister album HNDRXX, the superstar beat craft from St. Louis, MO took some time away from his Atlanta brother. In fact, the hiatus went from 2018 to the very end of 2022. Even on Metro’s projects NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES and SAVAGE MODE II did Pluto appear. But when “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)”dropped at midnight, December 2, all was right with the world. The two trap icons were reunited and that would be the start to their rekindling. Since then, they have gone on to release a tandem of projects this year, both of which figure to be in rotation for many beyond 2024.

The most recent is WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, the April sequel to the March LP, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Quite a bit of fans are coming around to the former, after a lot of them were quite let down initially. It makes sense considering the fact that the first of the two albums was more hype and dark. Of course, it’s also got tracks such as “Like That”, the title track, “Type S***”, “WTFYM”, and more. WSDTY sees more R&B and melodic cuts like the ones we got on HNDRXX seven years ago. However, to appease the masses Future and Metro gave us more aggressive cuts on disc two, such as the closing song, “Streets Made Me A King”.

The braggadocious anthem about street life making Hendrix a star is a classic theme that fans eat up every time. It may not be one of the most popular cuts, but the track is a certified banger. For these albums, the Wonder Twins have put out a handful of music videos, and WSDTY is receiving its third. You can check them out taking a victory lap over the successes with the link below.

Future & Metro Boomin Earn Back-To-Back No. 1 Debuts After “We Still Don’t Trust You” Tops The Charts

Future and Metro Boomin’s second collaborative album, We Still Don’t Trust You, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, this week, meaning the pair have secured chart-topping starts with both of their recent projects. The newest album moved 127,500 equivalent album units. Despite the No. 1 debut, the figure marks a dip from We Don’t Trust You, which earned 251,000 units in its first week. On the second project, Future and Metro Boomin collaborated with the Weeknd, Brownstone, Ty Dolla Sign, J. Cole, Lil Baby, and ASAP Rocky.

In addition to the success of We Still Don’t Trust You, We Don’t Trust You is still charting and rose from 4 to 3 with 83,000 equivalent album units earned for the latest update. It’s one of only seven times an artist had two albums within the top three at the same time. In fact, Future is one of the artists to do so, having dropped his back-to-back No. 1s, Future and HNDRXX, in March 2017. Others to do so include Taylor Swift, Future, and more.

Future And Metro Boomin Throw A Rave In A Broadway Theater In Their ‘Drink N Dance’ Video

In the video for “Drink N Dance” from their new album We Still Don’t Trust You, Future and Metro Boomin turn a Broadway theater into a steamy rave. Posted up outside the historic Los Angeles Theatre — I bet you didn’t know LA had a Broadway too — Future performs part of his verse in a T-shirt reading “I Am The Bad Guy.” He continues to sing and rap amid intercuts of the venue being filled with scantily clad women and extreme closeups as he gets intimate with them.

The song is a more peaceful example from the producer-rapper duo’s recent output, which has drawn most of their attention from the war-ready contributions of collaborators ASAP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd. On the first installment of the double album, We Don’t Trust You, Kendrick Lamar lit into Drake and J. Cole for “sneak dissin’” him on their song “First Person Future,” while on songs from the more recent release, ASAP Rocky and The Weeknd both had words for their Canadian former collaborator.

Future and Metro are preparing to take this dichotomy on the road with their We Trust You Tour, which begins at the end of July and runs through early September.

Watch the video for “Drink N Dance” above.

Future & Metro Boomin Unveil Hypnotic “Drink N Dance” Music Video

The release of both Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative LPs, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You, have been explosive, to say the least. When the first arrived last month, fans were quick to react to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That,” which takes shots and Drake and J. Cole. For this reason, fans were eager to hear what else the duo had up their sleeves, and it’s safe to say they weren’t let down.

Listeners can agree that Future and Metro managed to deliver yet again on the sequel. It features the likes of ASAP Rocky, The Weeknd, and more. Interestingly enough, J. Cole even makes an appearance. As expected, it’s resulted in even more online chaos as well as a response track from Drake, “Push Ups.” Needless to say, the drop is one that’s likely to be discussed for some time.

Future & Metro Boomin Drop New We Still Don’t Trust You Visual

One song from the album that quickly became a fan favorite was “Drink N Dance,” though it’s free of any high-profile guest performers. The laid-back, dreamy track has now gotten an accompanying music video. Dimly lit moments of intimacy between Future and a leather-clad woman are interrupted by disorienting club scenes, matching the dark, sexual themes of the song. The latest video follows the release of one to accompany the project’s title track and features The Weeknd. It manages to harness much of the same energy of the “Drink N Dance” video, staying true to the album’s aesthetic while taking a brighter approach by introducing more color.

Did The Weeknd Diss Drake On “We Still Don’t Trust You”?: A Timeline Of Collabs & Beef

Drake and The Weeknd are two of music’s biggest stars right now. The two first crossed paths in the early 2010s when The Weeknd was hardly known. Since then, their relationship surprisingly seems to have gone bad. Now, it looks like The Weeknd has taken the beef to the studio.

While they started off as collaborators, their friendship slowly deteriorated over the years, possibly to a point of no return. In the last few weeks, Drake has been dissed by a handful of rappers. With the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s latest collab project WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, fans are wondering if The Weeknd also took a shot at Drake. Here’s a timeline of the two’s relationship over the years.

2010 – 2011: Drake Co-Signs The Weeknd

The story of Drake and The Weeknd begins in 2010, the start of a significant decade for both artists. In December 2010, Drake introduced his fans to The Weeknd, who, at the time, had very little following. Two of the singer’s songs were shared on Drake’s October’s Very Own blog with the caption “Introducing The Weeknd.” Subsequently, the two linked up in 2011 during one of The Weeknd’s shows in Canada and began working together soon after. When Drake’s sophomore album eventually dropped in November 2011, the pair’s first collab was shared with the world. “Crew Love,” a standout track from Take Care, introduced a host of new fans to The Weeknd and his music. The song was the first of a handful of collaborations between the two iconic artists.

2012: The Weeknd Turns Drake Down And Signs A Deal With Republic Records

Following their successful collaboration in 2011, Drake tried to get The Weeknd to join OVO Sound. At the time, the singer was garnering some significant media buzz and was on the verge of superstardom. Speaking to MTV in May 2012, Drake shared, “As far as on paper, it’s all being worked out, but that’s not really what counts anyway. What counts to me is the fact that the affiliation is so known, and that’s all I really care about.”

Despite his statement about caring more for the affiliation than the paperwork, Drizzy seemed optimistic that The Weeknd would join his label. However, in a surprising turn of events, the singer chose to go with Republic Records instead. Following a cryptic tweet from Drake on December 11, 2012, fans speculated that the rapper was displeased with The Weeknd’s decision. However, the following year, the two were back to working together like nothing happened.

2015: The Weeknd Says He Gave Up Half Of His Album For Drake

During an interview with Rolling Stone in October 2015, The Weeknd shared some interesting news. The singer revealed that he made significant contributions to Drake’s 2011 album Take Care. “I gave up almost half of my album. It’s hard. I will always be thankful—if it wasn’t for the light he shined on me, who knows where I’d be. And everything happens for a reason. You never know what I would say if this success wasn’t in front of me now,” he said. The revelation was particularly damning for Drake because he had been facing ghostwriting allegations. Following this interview, there was a noticeable rift between Drake and The Weeknd. 

2017: A Reunion

After the two barely interacted for over a year, they seemingly reunited in February 2017. The Weeknd made an appearance during a stop in Germany on Drake’s Boy Meets World tour. Subsequently, in May 2017, Drizzy returned the favor when he performed “Crew Love” with The Weeknd at two Toronto shows during the singer’s Starboy: Legend of the Fall tour. Later, during the OVO Festival in August 2017, Drake teased a joint project with The Weeknd. “I want you to understand what this is. First of all, I don’t want to do this to you on stage, but I feel like that OVOXO project has to happen at some point. I just want to say that,” he said to the singer on stage as the crowd went wild.

However, tension arose again later in 2017 when rumors started spreading that Drake was dating Bella Hadid, The Weeknd’s ex-girlfriend. In October 2017, Page Six reported that Bella Hadid hooked up with the “Hotline Bling” rapper. Subsequently, Hadid commented that she was friends with Drake and nothing more. However, fans claimed to notice that Drake and The Weeknd were not on the best terms following the rumors.

Later, on November 15, 2017, Drake celebrated the six-year anniversary of Take Care. He shared a photo of a rare draft of the album’s tracklist on his Instagram account, evidently happy. However, his mood was subsequently dampened when his attention was called to a comment someone left under the post. The commenter discredited Drake’s work on the album, claiming that The Weeknd wrote most of it. “Abel Tesfaye CO WROTE on ‘Shot For Me’ and ‘Practice,’ obviously was featured on ‘Crew Love’ and ‘The Ride’ and that’s it. There’s 20 songs on that album … don’t try me,” Drake responded.

January 2019: The Weeknd Seemingly Disses Drake On “Lost In The Fire”

On January 11, 2019, The Weeknd released “Lost in the Fire” a collab track with French DJ Gesaffelstein. The track contains a lyric that sparked debate among listeners soon after its release. “And I just want a baby with the right one / ‘CauseI would never be the one to hide one,” The Weeknd sings. Fans speculated that the line was aimed at Drake who had recently been revealed to have a son. 

December 2019: Drake Clears The Air About Beef With The Weeknd

Several months later, Drake seemingly addressed the feud rumors on the track “War.” The song was released on December 24, 2019, and contains lyrics fans were convinced were about The Weeknd. “And the boy that sound like he sang on ‘Thriller,’ / You know that’s been my n***a, yeah / We just had to fix things, family, 6 tings, we can’t split up,” Drizzy raps on the track. Many listeners believed that he was alluding to wanting to leave their feud behind in 2019. “War” seemed, to most fans, as a peace offering from Drake to The Weeknd.

July 2022: Drake Reminisces About The First Time He Heard The Weeknd

On July 8, 2022, Drake shared a series of videos on his Instagram story where he spoke about listening to The Weeknd for the first time. “Okay, look. This right here, this little driveway area right here was the first place that I ever heard The Weeknd’s music. Shoutout to Oliver, of course, my brother. Oliver played me The Weeknd right here. This is my old building in Toronto. We were parked out here. It was raining,” the rapper recalled. “That same guy is selling out the SkyDome tomorrow. That man is selling out the SkyDome tomorrow,” he continued. Many fans were happy to see him celebrate The Weeknd’s win and reminisce on his journey like that.

April 12th, 2024: The Weeknd’s Subtle Shots

On April 12, 2024, Metro Boomin and Future released WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. The 25-track album is a follow-up project to their earlier release, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. The Weeknd appears on two tracks in the album: the title track, and “All to Myself.” The latter is the song that has sparked debate about whether or not the singer dissed Drake. According to listeners, some of the lines he delivers on the track seem undeniably directed at Drizzy.

“Ooh, look at how we movin’, baby (Movin’, baby) / They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future) / When they got leaks in they operation / I thank God that I never signed my life away / And we never do the big talk (No, no, no, no, no) / They shooters makin’ TikToks /Got us laughin’ in the Lambo (Yeah) / I promise that I got your back,” The Weeknd croons.

Admittedly, The Weeknd did not directly mention Drake on the track. However, it is very hard to ignore the line about signing his life away, considering that Drake tried to sign him to OVO Sound several years ago. So, did The Weeknd diss Drake on this track? Well, we can’t say for certain, but by Drake’s reaction, it sure looks like he did.

April 13th, 2024: Drake Claps Back At The Weeknd On Diss Track

After WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU dropped, Drake supposedly responded to all the disses he’d received with a track of his own. On April 14, 2024, Drizzy’s “Push Ups” was leaked on the internet. On the song, the rapper fired back at everyone who had previously come for him, including The Weeknd. “Claim the 6 and boys ain’t even come from it / And when you boys got rich you had to run from it / Cash blowin’ Abel bread, out here trickin’ / S**t we do for b***hes he doing for n***as,” the rapper spits, even firing at The Weeknd’s manager, Cash XO. In response, The Weeknd shared a photo of himself laughing on a couch with a bowl of popcorn on his life while Cash simply posted a flick of himself with Future and Metro Boomin.

Future & A$AP Rocky Are On Some Devious Behavior On Metro Boomin’s “Show Of Hands”

With all of the disses sent at Drake it can honestly be a little difficult to keep track of them all. However, A$AP Rocky’s on WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU might be one of the more memorable. The reason for that is because Metro Boomin, Future, and Rocky put together a high-octane track with “Show of Hands.” On it the A$AP Mob member calls out Drizzy for essentially obsessing over Rihanna, something he wishes he had.

N****s in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’? / I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son.” It is a pretty devious and harsh diss, but the next one does not hit as hard. “Heard you dropped your latest s*** / Funny how it just came and went (Ha-ha-ha).” This sees Flacko make fun of Drake’ last album For All The Dogs and how it was a pretty mid release in his catalog. But it comes across as contradictory since Rocky has kept fans starving for his first album since 2018.

Listen To “Show Of Hands” By Metro Boomin, Future, & A$AP Rocky

But putting the heavily discussed sneak disses, “Show of Hands” is one of the strongest and hard-hitting cuts on the album. Appearing on side B featuring throwback-like Future cuts from the early 2010s, Metro lays down a very bassy and 808 heavy instrumental with a killer East Coast vibe. It fits the woozy and smoky vibes that Rocky typical brings and Future slots in perfectly on the beat. Be sure to check out the song with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “Show of Hands” by Metro Boomin, Future, and A$AP Rocky? Is this the best track on WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, why or why not? Does A$AP have the strongest feature on this album, or out of both? How do you feel about the shots at Drake on this track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m a trap n****, better watch your ho (Uh)

I blew her head up, now they call her the GOAT
Turned the swag up, her last n**** was broke
Bought all them bags for her, can’t fit ’em in her closet

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

History doesn’t just repeat itself, but also repurposes itself for new contexts. Last decade, Future dropped his trap-centric self-titled album and the more R&B-inspired Hndrxx a week apart. With WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU achieving this pattern three weeks after its predecessor, that seven-year-old novelty now characterizes Metro Boomin. However, the elephant in the room back then was the divisive response, and inconsistent execution, of this sugary approach.

Sadly, while this album boasts hits across all metrics, the sheer tracklist length (and the still-fresh seventeen tracks before them) exposes the cracks in Future and Metro Boomin’s trajectory. If you loved Hndrxx, you’ll probably enjoy this. If you don’t like their R&B stuff at all, you’re just hating. But if you want balance and more fresh ideas than tried-and-true ones, then WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU might not earn your confidence.

Metro Boomin: The Bigger They Are…

All that said, Metro Boomin really showcases evolution here, tackling his work with artists like Don Toliver for almost a whole LP. Cuts like “Out Of My Hands” and “Came To The Party” could fit as a cool-down point on WE DON’T TRUST YOU, and we’ll get to Disc 2 later. Where the St. Louis beatsmith’s grandiose direction falters is in reiterating his multi-layered production with hollow structures and so-so Future efforts, dampening the ear candy’s impact. “Drink N Dance,” “Jealous,” and “Overload” lose their luster well before ending.

Yet these issues don’t affect production quality — everything sounds crisp. Entrancing instrumentals remain like “Nights Like This,” despite this example’s melodic similarity to last year’s “Calling.” Instead, the weaknesses concern how melodic leanings don’t lend themselves to less eventful beats. Sometimes, individual elements help, like the ’80s-style drums on “Luv Bad B***hes.” But when you’re trying to build out an epic beat often, whenever you do fall short, you really fall short, unless Future gifts the assist.

Future Is Ol’ Reliable On WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU

The Atlanta titan’s performance across the board is what we expected considering his dexterity on WE DON’T TRUST YOU. By comparison, he shows off his dynamism, expressive tone, quirky deliveries, and shifty, smoky flows even more here, such as strained choruses on “Always Be My Fault” and “Right 4 You.” Even though his rapping excelled more on WDTY, he tries his best on STILL to do right by sometimes slightly overproduced beats like the two examples above (although the first is a gold standard here).

Lyrically, it’s a well-worn, more emotional Hendrix you’re likely familiar with, although his pen isn’t always melancholically or toxically relationship-driven. Also, hilariously self-aggrandizing bars here like “You can f**k on him as long as you think about me” are staples in his catalog. But this is all true until it isn’t. For example, Future’s intro/title track performance is meager, and a bare cut that should’ve lasted half its actual runtime. Others like “Gracious” and “One Big Family” are average, but this is Pluto: you’re bound to take away bangers here, as few or numerous as they may be on any given project.

What Are The Highlights?

WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU works best by simply distilling what these artists have built over their careers, not by over-dramatizing established approaches. “This Sunday” has a calming, addictive synth line and Future is intoxicatingly ethereal. Speaking of this possible “Feel No Ways” reference track, a brief Drake mention: despite some subs, the beef feels less prominent here due to moodier energies. Moving on, “All To Myself” is a great duet with The Weeknd that contrasts their performances in empowering ways, and “Beat It” is one of the few exceptions that structurally and execution-wise live up to the larger-than-life presentation that Metro Boomin champions.

In addition, “Mile High Memories” throws it back to earlier Fewtch croons with spotlit vocal melodies and perfectly measured atmosphere, and the same goes for the “Amazing” interlude, but with rap flows. The features mixed the bag, though. Ty Dolla $ign and Chris Brown provide minimal but welcome background singing, and as for designated solo spots, Abel gives multiple standouts, but J. Cole can’t maximize his sleepy surprise appearance on the already languid “Red Leather.” That almost summarizes WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. Future and Metro Boomin can no longer avoid a quantity-over-quality predicament. Most importantly, they try to evolve the former’s soulful approaches and the latter’s auditory theatricality while forgetting what makes their creativity special.

The Duo’s Current Paradox

Here’s the album’s biggest holistic detriment. If Future and Metro Boomin fixed the bloat and backpedaling, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU still would’ve felt redundant. Disc 2 is an OG-sounding mixtape for their styles that is more compelling and goes harder than Disc 1 on average, thanks to more engaging beats, fiery performances, and solid features. If they had cut the filler and diversified the tracklist flow more, then we’d be talking about a much more solid album… that would’ve achieved the exact same as WE DON’T TRUST YOU.

All things considered, this series is nonetheless a dub for Future and Metro Boomin. They fed the fans with their trademark styles and are still dominating charts, music discussion, and the aux. Unfortunately, this also ends the producer’s air-tight studio album run this decade, and the “Solo” MC doesn’t fully capitalize on the moment. Nevertheless, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU contains peaks worthy of this legendary duo’s history, which they repurpose here to occasionally perfect effect. While we still trust them, they just surprisingly spend a little too much time repeating or forgetting that history here.
