There were also some celebrity sightings, which included A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz, and Maliibu Miitch, whom I had the pleasure of meeting. It may be my peculiar sense of humour, but as I watched the film, all I did was laugh and dance. On a lighter note, Future is effortlessly funny. It’s heartbreaking to lose anyone that close to you. Therefore, one can only imagine how much time he spent with Mr Firkins and how much they knew about one another. Clarke-direction, Future records music without a season. As many of his peers say in the Marcus A. As the genre-defying artist shared, it is something that he has to live with every day.
Throughout the masterfully-produced documentary, you’ll also learn about his relationship and the detrimental loss of his best friend and engineer, Seth Firkins. Watch the clip from last night’s Q&A hosted by Ebro Darden of Apple Music via this link. I asked him if there was a cognitive effort. Also, after seeing him perform at the Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival last year and watching “The WIZRD” documentary, I’ve also gathered not only is he a master at breathing when performing, his singing voice is his talking voice, and it sounds the same on record and in-person. They’d have to emulate a Future to be what they want to be. And to be quite frank, I have found that most people have to “turn it on” before they can fully become their pseudonym. Every day of the week, I am blessed to work with and review talented people all over the world through the internet and in-person. Specifically, when I asked Future a question last night, it praised his ability to be one with his image, personality, and performance. From the way he talks, performs, and interacts with his loved ones, it is consistent and not surprising. Unlike the sea of entertainers out there, now and before his time, Future is what you see. Like most artists on this planet, Future seems to rely on creating art to silence his demons, deal with innate depression, and maintain the victor balance he needs to survive. So, to hear Future speak about dealing with pain due to the loss of his grandfather and other family members, allowed us to identify him as a fellow human being first. (See my article about G Herbo in The Source for reference) Hell, some of us don’t think anything is wrong with us or anyone in our surroundings. Unfortunately, we all don’t have artistic, natural or medicinal ways to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. But to be real with you, if you know anything about people who live and survive in dire environments and conditions, there’s lots of unearthed pain and pressure. It’s also admirable.Īs an avid listener, supporter and fan of the East Atlanta-bred musical genius, I know that it is easy to hear a Trap song or one of Future’s song and review it as “ sad boy music”. Through it all, Future has been able to remain his natural self, stay out of the tabloids, keep his personal life personal for the most part, and become and maintain his level of stardom. Pop stars seem to leave nothing to the imagination of the general public to compete for relevancy. To be a star is trying period, but even more in today’s world. He invites us to see his mother, children, manager, musical peers and best friends, officially and commercially, for the first time. The hour-long film gives a short yet rare glimpse into the Atlanta hero’s life as we’ve never seen him before. Yesterday, we joined Future to watch the screening of his “WIZRD” documentary at the iPic Theater in New York City.
