Video Future & Mumble Rap's Ironic Origin

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 and arguably simplistic approach. From Pete Rock to Billboard magazine, 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. Let's break it down.
