    The album contains lackluster, repetitive production from many of the producers (mainly Southside) which makes this 17 track album boring. It doesn't seem like Future tried to evolve or improve at all as he stuck with the same techniques. The only thing that saves this album is Future's presence, because without it, it would be forgotten.

    Too many album fillers and it makes the listening experience overwhelming. Not terrible but nowhere near good. The production is often lazy and repetitive and I don't know if 808 Mafia is to blame or not. This is a very sloppy effort for the self proclaimed "super trapper."

    This album had perhaps the most lackluster lines we’ll hear all year from a prominent musician, with its ugliness and shallowness resulting in a long and lame work; you’ve taken a wrong turn if you listen to this album in search of any substantial quality. My Score: 78/180 (Bad) = 4.3/10

    Usually I am a huge Future fan and was very hyped for this release, due to it being self titled I had high expectations however I was left disappointed. This project is far from awful, however it sounds bland and as if Future is rapping in autopilot about familiar topics such as guns and drugs. This project lacks depth or cohesiveness and is filled to the brim with filler tracks.

    Two good albums, then--but more editing could have produced a single excellent one. [May 2017, p.104]

    Here, production is the star, adding excitement and variety to Future's reliable, trap-star flow. 808 Mafia's Southside is at the top of the pack, with a hand in at least half of the album's tracks.

    More of the same, then, but a productive kind of dead-end, clichés run hard into the ground.
