Most of his music is from the 'trap' genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.192.107 ( talk) 12:05, 19 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Haitian ancestry?

There is absolutely zero evidence of him being Haitian beyond the fact that he sort of sings like Wyclef Jean sometimes; none of the sources cited here contain the detail of his not moving to Atlanta until age 7. His name is not of French origin and he does not speak French, at least not in any of his music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chillstep89 ( talkcontribs) 02:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC) reply

You do not need to have a French last name to be Haitian. See: Charles Henri Baker, Charles Terres Weymann, Claudette Werleigh, Jean-Herbert Austin, Dadi Denis. French last names? Do all Americans have English last names? Savvyjack23 ( talk) 06:25, 13 October 2014 (UTC) reply

However, it turns out he is not of Haitian descent. He explains it on the The Breakfast Club Power 105.1 (07/16/2015) [1]. He said "I hang around with a bunch of Haitians all the time; everybody think(s) I'm Haitian." Savvyjack23 ( talk) 04:21, 22 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Magic City

This article does not yet include the text+link " Magic City", even though Magic City was partially - if not largely ( source at The A.V. Club) - responsible for launching Future's career. There's a documentary Magic City where Future and one of his DJs ( DJ Esco) talk about how Magic City launched Future's career, and at 10:38 (sources: at YouTube, at GQ) you can even see Future hold out his arms towards his pool (wealth) and hear him say "Thank you, Magic City." Not only that, Future paid homage to Magic City twice(!), both as a lead artist ("Magic", at YouTube) and as a featured artist ("Magic City Monday", at YouTube). That's still not all; for Future's 35th birthday, Magic City was refashioned as "Future City" ( source at Consequence of Sound; image at Getty Images). Magic City has (obviously) hosted performances by Future ( source at Page Six). So, even though it doesn't fully convey the thorough connection between the two subjects, maybe at the very least, in § career beginnings add something like "Future gained popularity because DJ Esco played Future's songs at Atlanta's Magic City strip club." Solid source that has a whole paragraph about this here at GQ India. Maybe use the The A.V. Club article as a second source. -- 77.173.90.33 ( talk) 20:42, 27 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Other names: The Wizard or Wizrd

Future has referred to himself by the nickname "The Wizard" on several songs,such as Showed up from his 2014 Monster tape and even has an entire album called "The Wizrd" which was inspired by his uncle giving him the nickname "Wizard" when he was young. As such, I feel that the adding of the nickname "The Wizard" in the "other names" category would be a valid inclusion. 2601:447:CE00:8AB0:8101:B1C6:3204:2257 ( talk) 15:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Terms or not

LidsneyH, I get it what you said, but was just fine the way it was before you re-edit. Oh and BTW, just because the "known professionally as" term is the standard lead doesn't mean it has to be re-used in any rapper's articles, and besides, you wanna know what's wrong with that term, it's EXTREMELY repetitive and overused. There's no rule or guideline saying that "known professionally as" is only allowed and you should re-edit to that, just because it's more of a professional term, so what. It's like opposite of wanting articles to be perfect, because you think you guys are all perfect as well as the fact of how Wikipedia works, it doesn't. You don't make the rules on Wikipedia. It know Wikipedia doesn't function like any regular website, but it doesn't mean you can do act like you think that's how Wikipedia works. Sometimes you just wanna keep making excuses to get what you feel and implying that's how Wikipedia works. Just stop that. Please Okay? Oh and BTW, when your were urging me to check more guidelines, how does that have to do with any terms like that. Sometimes you just make no sense at all. And I hated it. SuperSuperSonic208 ( talk) 15:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Okay. First, i didn't "re-edit", i changed back to the long-standing phrase. Second, i'm well aware that there are not rules or guidelines about "known professionally"; i didn't say that there are, i merely pointed out that it's a better phrase than "better known" for several reasons. Third, i have never ever claimed i make the rules, nor that i can act as i choose. Fourth, i didn't urge you to check more guidelines. May i suggest you dial it back a bit, recognise that we may differ on various things here, that doesn't make you right and me wrong or vice versa, it just means that we work together to make the encyclopaedia better. If you feel that "better known" is the better phrase, show us why; i have shown why i think it is less good, right? Happy days, ~ Lindsay H ello 18:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply
OK. When we say "better known", it's obviously for the stage name, and then that's it. Big deal? SuperSuperSonic208 ( talk) 18:50, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure if you're looking for a reply here, so rather than repeating myself, i'll simply say, "Yes, it is a big deal that we make our language as good and approachable and clear as possible." That is my goal. Happy days, ~ Lindsay H ello 14:58, 7 July 2024 (UTC) reply
