I NEVER LIKED YOU, the first Future project since his and Lil Uzi Vert\u2019s Pluto x Baby Pluto and his first solo outing since 2020\u2019s High Off Life, was likely titled to cause a stir. Future has been a poster boy for the kind of toxic romantic engagements that turn well-intentioned social media users into self-certified relationship experts since about the time of his split with one-time fianc\u00e9e Ciara. But rather than defend his lifestyle choices in earnest or make a case for himself as misunderstood, he drops an album whose title posits him as either a vindictive lover or a victim of a betrayal. But Future is nobody\u2019s victim.<\/p>\n

With I NEVER LIKED YOU, he’s more likely a master of marketing. The album has far less to do with the rhetoric that surrounds his dating life than it does the MC\u2019s lifestyle, drawing open the blinds within a single bar of \u201cHOLY GHOST\u201d: \u201cI was in my big truck, my wrist up, getting my dick sucked.\u201d The MC sounds as happy as ever across I NEVER LIKED YOU, lamenting only\u2014in the rare instance that he laments\u2014a perceived lack of credit for his stylistic influence (\u201cI’M DAT N***A,\u201d \u201cPUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ\u201d).
