Over the past half-decade, Future has grown from the guest star on a regional hit to one of the most talked-about—and most influential—artists in hip-hop. His fingerprint can be lifted from a litany of the 2010s' biggest songs, and his DNA is a key component in many of the grassroots stars and industry darlings that have come after him. And yet despite becoming one of the genre's biggest artists (his self-titled album, out this week, has a chance to be his third #1 record in 19 months), Future's work has been uniquely reactive to the ups and downs of his personal life, and to the reception his music receives from the world at large. This list of 50 songs—an expansion on the list of 25 Complex published in the spring of 2014, when Honest hit stores—attempts to span his already impressive catalog.
