In an exciting turn of events for rap fans, Future and Metro Boomin have come together to release their long-awaited collaborative album, titled "We Don't Trust You." This project marks their first full-length release as a duo, and fans have been eagerly anticipating its arrival.

While the album offers a collection of thrilling rap tracks that showcase the chemistry between Future and Metro, one particular song has caught the attention of listeners. The sixth track, "Like That," has become the talk of the town, albeit not wholly for the reasons fans might have expected.

Despite the hype surrounding the release, "Like That" falls short of showcasing the artists at the peak of their powers. Future's lyrics follow a familiar pattern, boasting about casual flings and an abundance of drugs. Similarly, the Metro Boomin-produced beat, while decent, lacks the distinct flare commonly associated with his work.

However, it is guest artist Kendrick Lamar who steals the spotlight on this track. Known for his thought-provoking and intense verses, Lamar takes the opportunity to deliver a showstopping performance. Breaking away from the introspective lyrical themes of his 2022 album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," Lamar directly confronts his contemporaries J. Cole and Drake after years of veiled jabs.

Cole and Drake, often seen as key players in modern rap, are not spared by Lamar's scathing words. He fiercely declares, "Fuck sneak dissin', first person shooter/I hope they came with three switches," alluding to their recent single "First Person Shooter." Lamar doesn't stop there, cleverly referencing Drake's superstar status by comparing it to Michael Jackson's, but noting that Prince outlived Michael Jackson in their infamous beef.

Lamar's verse unleashes a flurry of rage and determination rarely seen, leaving a lasting impact on listeners. It's a display reminiscent of his genre-shaking verse on Big Sean's 2013 track "Control," solidifying his claim to the top spot in modern rap.

The weight of the moment is not lost on Future and Metro Boomin. In fact, the duo seems to acknowledge the gravity of Lamar's verse by deliberately fading out Future's second verse before it gains momentum, sidestepping the void left in the middle of the song.

As one of the industry's biggest and most influential rappers, it's clear that Future recognizes the significance of this collaboration with Metro Boomin. "We Don't Trust You" is a testament to their ongoing journey of refining their sound and pushing boundaries within the rap genre.

Fans are undoubtedly excited to witness the captivating chemistry between Future and Metro across the entirety of the album. With the release of "We Don't Trust You," these two artists continue to cement their places as forces to be reckoned with in the rap scene.

As for Kendrick Lamar, his commanding verse on "Like That" continues to solidify his position as one of the most formidable and focused rappers of our time.
