For as hungry as Future sounded on True Story, he may as well be ripping the world apart with how he sounds on Streetz Calling. It's a shame this doesn't have quite as good of production job to it than the last couple of his tapes, because if it did, I'd wager that this would've been the most essential of his pre-Pluto mixtapes. Future mostly goes at it alone here, with the odd feature from Gucci Mane or Trouble here and there, and he does absolutely marvelous, having a truly imposing and charismatic presence on the microphone, helping to buoy the decent, yet somewhat middling production. Of course, it helps to have a few songs as thoroughly bonafide as "Same Damn Time", "Name Hold Weight", and "Word To My Muva" on the tracklist, and although it's a slight hit more inconsistent than his last tape, it's not what I would call an inconsistent affair at all. Still, it would only be after this that Future truly entered the stratosphere as one of the games most important trappers, though it would be a shame for any fans of the man to pass this one up.
