reception

success

DS2 debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 . In Canada, Future reached rank 5. With 56 in the United Kingdom, 85 in Switzerland and 161 in France, the publication was also able to position itself in some European charts.

criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated DS2 with four out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor Florian Peking, Future builds a “ trademark sound that you can't get anywhere else ” from the topics “ sex, money and drugs ” as well as the typical “ trap rumble from Atlanta ” . An atmosphere that is “ just as complex as it is dense, consisting of blurry intoxication fantasies, is hidden beneath the surface . "Future offers lyrically" little variety ", but in an" incomparable way [...] presented fragmentary phrases and expressions ". In addition, with the help of the autotune effect, the rapper is able to “ falsify and use his voice in such a way that it unfolds the maximum effect ”. In summary, it is “ the vibe that makes 'DS2' so exciting ”.

Leaderboard

DS2 was placed 7th in the list of the best “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2015 by Laut.de. Future creates, inspired by the “ consumption of the sticky-sweet 'Dirty Sprite' ”, a “ dark and engaging record, whose listening experience itself becomes a psychedelic experience ”. DS2 catches the listener far away from “ mature rap technique and lyrical fine-tuning [...] again and again. "
