    I'm gonna be honest. I enjoy most of these records, but I would hardly classify these as essentials. This is, "hey we like these a lot."

    I like Cole, but FNL isn't an essential. Beast Mode? Probably the most Cohesive Future project, but an essential? Laughable.

    The Most essential Future project to date is Monster.

    Wolf stays underrated.

    Although it's very very good in my eyes, I don't think it's top 25

    I just felt like in the topic of what is an "essential" album i think is a project everybody needs to hear since its completely different from his past works and gives a fresh outlook of who is Tyler. Plus, the production is really special.
