Is it really summer without a Future album? We don’t think so. Tracks like “Thought It Was A Drought,” “Mask Off,” and, ironically, “March Madness” have been the soundtrack of many hot July nights, and now he’s back to give us even more bangers.
‘The Real Me‘ dropped on July 10, with plenty of hits across the 22-song project. But which songs hit the hardest?
We ranked the top 10 songs on the album and gave our reasons below.
10. “Fukk A Interview”
Future’s intros always hit. Whether we’re taking it all the way back to DS2’s “Thought It Was A Drought” or looking at 2022’s “712PM,” Pluto always sets the tone from the jump—and “Fukk A Interview” keeps that same energy.
ATL Jacob and Wheezy both had a hand in this one, so we’re not surprised it goes this damn hard.
9. “Build a Bitch”
A particularly unique—but somehow, fitting—song for his discography, “Build A B*tch” describes how he would create a partner like a GTA 6 character. The subject matter isn’t the only interesting part; the lack of drums on this one makes it an underrated standout. And considering we know for sure he puts specific watches on women he’s associated with, the song has a bit more merit.
8. “No Misery”
With a spoken intro by Andre 3000, pulled from an interview describing Future’s music as “pain,” “No Misery” is a Hendrix special. By far the most emotion-driven song on the project, fans who still talk about Future’s verse on The Weeknd’s “Enjoy The Show” will love this one.
7. “Cast Spell”
While he channeled more of the “ladi-dadi-da, slob on my knob” Future on the track “2018,” this version sounds like a close relative. The off-key singing works well, and reeling it in a bit for a more classic outro makes “Cast A Spell” one of the better melodic joints on the project.
6. “Trench Coat”
The Real Me speaks on Future’s fashion a few times, and obviously “Trench Coat” does the same. ATL Jacob handles production, serving as a perfect platform for Pluto’s runway flexing. “Trench coat, pink coat, mink coat.” Sheesh, indeed.
5. “Tank Top Pluto”
We’ve seen various versions of Future at this point, and it seems like “Tank Top Pluto” is the most recent addition to the list. It’s the traditional banger on one of his albums—complete with whistle ad-libs and repetition for the hook.
Kinda confused why this one is on here when the cover art is… F*ck it, we ball.
4. “Off The Hinge”
Whenever Wheezy and Future link up for a joint, we know it’s going up. This time, it’s the signature run-on flow that bleeds directly into the hook, executed as only Pluto could. And if your speaker has subs? A track like this is knocking the doors off the hinges.
3. “Weight Up”
While some Future projects excel in the melodic department, The Real Me is at its best when it’s high-energy boss talk. “Weight Up,” however, blends the two perfectly. And, as the title suggests, it’s all about being the big dog.
“Stay out reppin’, dawg/Big ole steppin’, dawg” says everything you need to know.
2. “Money Over Everything”
Hardest beat on the album by far, and we can thank ATL Jacob for that. From the very first second, the 808s are thumping, then Future hops in the booth without giving the listener a second to breathe. We can tell by the song’s intensity that it’s really “Money Over Everything,” and they definitely got to the bag on this one.
1. “Eye To Eye”
Pluto truly saved the best for last on this one. From the flows to the beat selection, “Eye To Eye” is Galaxy Opal, 2016 LeBron James-level Future. You can hear exactly where 10 different artists got their flows from, and to end a project called The Real Me, a showcase of your best abilities just makes sense.
