A Futuristic Summa revitalizes Metro's ability to showcase artists, with Young Dro and Quavo invigorating the energy on standout tracks. Collaborations shine with Roscoe Dash and others bringing enthusiasm. However, the project struggles with lethargic moments, particularly from Young Thug and others that undermine the energy. Nostalgia can lead to frustration when less impressive tracks make listeners wish for the originals, illustrating the risk of condensing years of sound into one album. Newer talents show promise but are overshadowed by mixed performances on some tracks.
Young Dro's intensity elevates everyone in his radius, switching from laid-back to triple-time spitting, inciting a call-and-response, making it feel as though he's rapping to get another record deal.
Roscoe Dash's smooth crooning seamlessly feeds into a reinvigorated Quavo imploring the ladies to twerk, showcasing the seamless collaboration among the artists on standout tracks.
Extended, momentum-killing stretches lurk throughout Discs 1 and 2 like landmines; Young Thug's lethargic energy on 'Birthday' and endless melodies from Meany, Skooly, and Lil Baby turn 'Don't Stop Dancin' into a chore.
The nostalgia project reaches its saturation point when less-impressive moments make listeners wish to switch to the original references, highlighting the inconsistencies in recreating the magic of earlier years.
