21 of the Best Lyrics on Future and Drake’s ‘What A Time To Be Alive’
Future and Drake's collaborative project What A Time To Be Alive landed like an atom bomb on the hip-hop world when it dropped Sunday afternoon, with fans across the country muting their NFL games to tune in to hear what Drizzy and Future had in store. And as expected, the two didn't disappoint. Over 11 tracks, largely produced by Metro Boomin with some help from 40, Boi-1da, Southside, Neenyo, Noel, Allen Ritter and Frank Dukes, the two trade bars back and forth and hold their own against each other, lending their individual styles towards a great whole.
For the most part, both Drake and Future stick to their lyrical strengths, going in about women, money, drugs, haters and relationships in some order. But as is the case when you get two of the biggest rappers on the planet together in one place, the two dropped some serious gems as well. After two days of listening to nothing else, XXL pulled together 21 of the best lyrics on Future and Drake's collaborative project What A Time To Be Alive. —XXL Staff
