Future, Young Thug, Metro Boomin beef: ‘Everyday I wake up, new mixtapes are falling out of the sky’
'Moral of the story is, putting out 5 tapes in a year won't make you heat up like Future.'

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When it comes to trap music, more is more.
That at least seems to be the case with artists like Young Thug, Future and Migos, who put out new tracks and mixtapes more frequently than they blink.
Despite having worked on some rapidly fired-out releases himself, producer Metro Boomin took issue with the trend on Twitter this week, writing: “Everyday I wake up, new mixtapes are falling out of the sky.. I think we all know where the trend came from lol.
“And for all you internet niggas who like to tweet like you know everything, I'm not saying he's the first to do it,” he added, referring to Future.
He was making a pretty valid point, summarising: “All I'm saying is, I wish that everyone would put out more quality music over the quantity. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
“Moral of the story is, putting out 5 tapes in a year won't make you heat up like Future. That was just his path. It's not for everyone.”
The rant wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, but Young Thug took exception to it - full exchange below:
