What did HotNewHipHop Commenters Think?
On HotNewHipHop, there were some mixed reviews for this album. There were some who felt this was yet another example of Future being the best in the rap game. Meanwhile, others felt like this was a quantity over quality play, that could have been avoided entirely. "FEWTCH THE REALEST OUT OF ATL NOTHIN BUT FIRE FLAMES FROM THIS DUDE," said one commenter. "Not to take away from future too much cause his shit sounds hard, but doesnt anyone realize quality not quantity? Dude put out 6 albums in a year and none of them even compare to FHD," said another. Needless to say, it was a polarizing time on the website.
