    Least Favourite Songs: Track 1 to 13
    Future goes for quantity over quality and as a result everything he releases is bland, unfiltered, basic, one dimensional and extremely overrated. This mixtape is no exception and unfortunately I can't even really say it has any bangers on like WATTBA or DS2 did. Prince would definitely not be proud of this.

    While Purple Reign is not a masterpiece, it is a thoughtful, if slight adjustment on the lens of where Future stands, at a crucial moment in his career.

    It’s good because, beneath his relentless hedonistic pursuits and idealistic belief in the nobility of the unruly drum loops, Future preserves a romantic’s perspective on his panoply of inconsequential street life and crystalline musings from within the studio.

    When Kanye West went through a similar transformation from 808s to the absolute perfection of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he laid a roadmap for what artists could do once they’ve hit that “acceptance” stage. Purple Reign hasn’t followed this template well, and the music comes across as flat because of it.
