Description

This week's #DXBreakdown is all about Future's polarizing rhyme style. While he's absolutely fathered a generation, Hip Hop purists have been critical of the Atlanta rapper's often inaudible lyrics and autotune. Many have questioned whether modern mumble rap is awful or awesome. This edition explores Future's Dungeon Family experience and theorizes how and why his enigmatic style took over the world. Thank you to Rico Wade of Organized Noize and George Clinton for the insight.
