Metro Boomin is hitting back at critics of his latest mixtape, A Futuristic Summa, with a series of bold tweets targeting those who aren’t feeling the project.
Released on August 1, the double-disc, 24-track mixtape channels early 2000s trap nostalgia—but not everyone’s here for it.
The St. Louis-born producer took to X (formerly Twitter) and made it clear that the tape isn’t for everyone. “A lot of y’all get no b*tches and it shows,” he tweeted, kicking off a humorous yet heated defense of his work. Metro continued with a barrage of posts targeting fans who didn’t grow up partying in the 2000s or who only started listening to rap in recent years.

“If you started listening to rap music in 2017 then you might wanna sit this one out,” he said, adding that the project is for people who understand the culture of teen parties, collecting numbers, and flexing with tags still on clothes.

The mixtape includes features from early-2010s Southern rap staples like Travis Porter, Roscoe Dash, T.I., 2 Chainz, Young Dro, and more. Lead single “Slide” featuring Roscoe Dash dropped alongside the announcement on July 4.
Metro's tweets suggest the criticism stems from generational disconnects rather than the music itself. His goal with A Futuristic Summa was to recapture a bygone era of club-ready trap, and he’s unapologetic about who it’s made for.
