Atlanta rapper Future plans to drop his second album "Future Hendrix" sometime this year. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Future neglected to speak on the album's collaborators, but discussed his inspirations for the album. As you might guess, legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix was among those inspirations.
"He was a gifted individual," said Future. "He just stayed who he was and eventually it paid off."
With Hendrix as his motivator, Future says he's in a whole new mindstate for this upcoming album.
"Everything about the music I want to be taking to the next level," he said. "It's got to be all the way right, because the quality of the music has to live up to my expectations."

@yournohendrix, I agree with you 150%. I'm so tired of these rappers (not all) who put themselves in the same class of true Pioneers of music. Jimi is in no shape or form heard in this mans music. But not to get this post out of context, he stated that he was his inspiration, not someone he compares himself to. Lastly to the idiot @KBO who stated Jimi was for the white people...you should be slapped.You must be a little boy who don't know their history and if you think you do someone taught you wrong. Jimi Hendrix is a Legion, cut from the cloth of Rock and Roll musicians who created the art. Rock and Roll was a genre created by blacks in the 1950's with more of an Rythm and Blues and Country influence and stage performance. At a time when Blacks couldn't perform in the lime-light as much as whites could unless they had a white band with them. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash took the genre to new heights. Just how Hip Hop was born in the Bronx amongst the black community it has grown to be a culture among all race...so save your ignorant comments...Rock and Roll is in our blood lil youngin'. Pick up a John Lee Hooker and BB King album sometime and learn yourself somethin' youngin'...
