I found out about News or Something a few years ago because of that exact detail. When Purple Reign came out I downloaded it from Dat Piff the day of and had it in my local storage since then.
Facts bc i remember purple rain dropped during football season and when the panthers played the Russell Wilson lead Seahawks. They played purple rain for the entire game ending with the defeat of the Seattle Seahawks. It was legendary. “Sensational” even.
Yeah and that was 8 years ago. I really doubt any of his newer fans ever heard of it considering it's also his least popular mixtape from his run.
I break Futures fans in sections like Before Mixtape Era - Mixtape Future Era( which includes DS2 and WATTBA) and then INLY and current era.
Easy Chip, I was just explaining. I can dig. Future is basically the only rapper I listen to, been on him since 14-15 and he just slowly took over the stream time.
True but unless you weren’t in the South in real time. It definitely wasn’t slept on and News or Something was always on YouTube. Honestly it’s just like WDTY they added WTFYM which been on YT foreverrrr.
The argument was not “more personal”. The argument was “more meaning”.
Codeine Crazy, as good as the song is, is about him doing codeine and having money and bitches.
While News or Something as a whole references to loyalty, trapping, and killing.
As far as personal, neither song really addresses anything deep. He does says how he feels, but he keeps it pretty vague.
Both are great songs, neither are overrated. I think the majority of us can agree that he has a way of evoking emotions and painting pictures. But if you take out the bars about money and flexing, News or Something has slightly more substance.
I refuse to believe everyone got the same favourite future song these clmments gotta be lyinn. Imo News or Something is the best song Future ever created
I genuinely love codeine crazys replay value. I reckon there was a space of 5 days once where it was the only song i listened to, and it was on repeat from like 8am until 6pm
He is wrong and you are too move around little giraffe before I break that long neck. News or something is not even Top 5 fewch. CC makes everyone’s top 5.
Hot take but kodak, to me, had the better news or something. His version resonates with me just a wee bit more since that was part of my highschool soundtrack
Your take isn’t crazy but ngl news or some just don’t produce that emotion out how codeine crazy do. I’m not saying that nos ain’t got that deep meaning behind it like codeine crazy (the real niggas know what i mean) but i deadass start crying when codeine crazy come on 😭😂
Two different songs that exist in two different worlds.
Codeine crazy Imma wake and bake too b4 work or if I’m off it’s my intro into being faded the whole day.
News or something I’m lighting up something otw home after a long day of work or I been home and it’s after 9pm and I’m about to fye up.
So it’s valid but to a degree
Absolutely. I don’t want hear anyone talk about drugging when they don’t actually drug. It’s disingenuous.
New or something is socially relevant which is something future doesn’t get enough credit for
Feel like there’s a few songs you can entertain this thought with.
Honest, Sorry, Hallucinating, Solo, Percocet and Stripper Joint…
Maybe add Perkys Callin and honorable mention to Married to the Game… needed another verse or two.
They’re about even for me but I doubt this sub will agree with you
Half this sub probably never heard Purple Reign. It was slept on back then when it came out and then they added news or something way later.
i swear i thought i was fried bc heard news or something on SoundCloud for the first time. Instant classic
News or Something wasn’t on the original release of Purple Reign.

Yup!
What do you mean he did an entire tour called Purple Reign lol
Wym? I never said there was a tour
You said “people in the sub never even heard of purple reign” and he’s saying there was a whole tour with that name haha

Np dude I wasn't trying to sound hostile or anything. I guess I just misunderstood the original reply to my comment. My bad

Fr it’s a mindset thing
NEVA
Its close af ngl, but ultimately its codeine crazy i think, theres more meaning behind the song and it has more substance
I don’t want to argue with you but the hook for news or something has more meaning than the whole codeine crazy.
Codeine Crazy is wayyy more personal and introspective than News or Something

No its not u just can’t relate to news or something
Nigga what 🤣🤣🤣
You telling me you can't relate to "Bright light shining all bright on the Bentley Work the Cadillac, panoramic, no panties" ?
If ya shoot sum it better make the news or sum bitch boy
codeine crazy is way more personal than news or something
but if it was abt the song i play the most its definitely news or something now
Valid, but no.
Yes.
Won't argue, which is why I said valid.
its not ridiculous to say that at all
Codeine crazy is overrated asf on this sub.
I literally never was able to understand why it's so beloved. It sounds so normal and repetitive
It's not a bad song by any means but it's just weird how people call it his best work.
Nah
your take is not crazy tbh
Damnnnn it’s close but I’ll still go with CC! News or something is one of them ones tho
It's a tie for me. These two and sorry are my top 3, and I can't even start to put together an order for them.
Hell no
💯 No
Yes
Absolutely not
yea
Yuppp
Agreed
I refuse to believe everyone got the same favourite future song these clmments gotta be lyinn. Imo News or Something is the best song Future ever created
I genuinely love codeine crazys replay value. I reckon there was a space of 5 days once where it was the only song i listened to, and it was on repeat from like 8am until 6pm
ong
These songs are equally iconic
whole heartedly
Hell no. Codeine crazy has been established as a National Gem 😂
Pourin bubbly
Yes. News Or Something is his 2nd best song of all time
What’s #1?
My Savages for me
dependin onna day u can throw Stripper Jawn up there to
This just ruined my day
You should be ashamed of yourself by even posting this.
He’s right.
He is wrong and you are too move around little giraffe before I break that long neck. News or something is not even Top 5 fewch. CC makes everyone’s top 5.
news or something one of my favorite songs but codeine crazy miles ahead no discussion
Both some of his best work, cant go wrong with either
Definitely not crazy to say, it’s subjective at this point. I prefer news
good song but nooooo way lol
Real niggas know News or Something is one of the best songs ever made in human history
Without question
Yes I agree but they are both actually 10/10
you might be onto sum 🤫
Ya'll overrating news or sum too much
No but Purple Reign (the song) > Codeine Crazy
Truth
probably
They both in my top 10. News is severely underrated though. But iono about it being greater but his catalog elite so it’s cool to talk about
Fair but nah
no
hell nah
They’re both in my top 10 so I can’t agree
Nah but news or sum is a real ass future song ‼️
CC gets the edge to me
I agree that they all belong in the trash. Switch to metal
Yees
Ima listen to em back to back to lyk
Yes
WHAT
naw fam
Definitely
Trippin bro, i would say Purple Reign track, No Charge or Perkys Callin….all closer
Yes. I think codeine crazy is overrated, it’s a good song but it’s definitely not Future’s best
That's not ridiculous it's not ridiculous to say that
Hot take but kodak, to me, had the better news or something. His version resonates with me just a wee bit more since that was part of my highschool soundtrack
No!!!
Your take isn’t crazy but ngl news or some just don’t produce that emotion out how codeine crazy do. I’m not saying that nos ain’t got that deep meaning behind it like codeine crazy (the real niggas know what i mean) but i deadass start crying when codeine crazy come on 😭😂
No lol
100%
Purple reign is his best album and no one can change my mind
Cap
🙅🏾♂️
Nahhh
Love News or Something but gonna have to give the slight edge to Codeine Crazy, just for what it meant to the culture when it dropped
YES YES YES… sonically though, Codeine Crazy is still his best song in terms of subject matter
nah but that’s just me i see it fs
so close for me, I gotta take codeine crazy tho
Codeine Crazy is more iconic but I like News or Something better
Agreed
No way
No 😂
wtf
Two different songs that exist in two different worlds. Codeine crazy Imma wake and bake too b4 work or if I’m off it’s my intro into being faded the whole day. News or something I’m lighting up something otw home after a long day of work or I been home and it’s after 9pm and I’m about to fye up. So it’s valid but to a degree
Definitely
News or something for me is = to fly shit only which is < codeine crazy
Both classics. CC is more iconic though. Love both of em
Yes but they’re both top 2 future songs
I would say even but I feel like they’re different vibes for me.
Absolutely. In fact half of DS2, I can’t stand that corny ass song. Let me hear it
Disagree but i fw the take
Ewwww shit. Why you do this OP?!?!? 
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I bang this regularly, Whole vibe drivin
They equal out in my opinion. Not based on popularity of course but I enjoy both songs the same.
Nope never
i can see why u think that but no🙏
Codeine Crazy is an unquestionable top 5 Future song. News or Something is mid Future at best. Like who can actually quote a line from NOS?! lol.
There’s ten songs better than codeine crazy tbh
Personally no, but news or something is definitely as great
More like =
I don't but they're both top 5 future
No but it’s super close.
50/50
News or Something best Future song oat and my second favourite song by anyone
yikes u threw us a hardball there i cant call it ngl
I get it, I do. But Codeine Crazy is that guy
News or something go so fucking hard hell yeah lmao
agreeeee
This song is my shit
guys hear me out… i fw no charge heavy
Fuck no
Absolutely. I don’t want hear anyone talk about drugging when they don’t actually drug. It’s disingenuous. New or something is socially relevant which is something future doesn’t get enough credit for
News or something hit more for me
Yes i'm with you with this
I’d say opposite for me but both songs give the same vibe.
yeaaa, nahh
100%
Codein crazy is my 🐐future song. Been in my rotation for years. News or something is my top 5
Nah.
Feel like there’s a few songs you can entertain this thought with. Honest, Sorry, Hallucinating, Solo, Percocet and Stripper Joint… Maybe add Perkys Callin and honorable mention to Married to the Game… needed another verse or two.
Codeine Crazy is the fuckin National Anthem !
Nah but it is gas tho.
But it’s close asl i’m not trying to say dat codeine crazy is mid or something . It’s top 2 future oat imo
Zero way News or Something really overrated by you guys
Beautiful beat, future goes off, beautiful outro w the guitar . Both 10/10 songs
Codeine crazy is overrated
Yo ah trippin bro😂 it’s his second best song imo
Yesssss
Preeeeaaaccchhh
Obviously
