Like "Monster," "Break The Rules" relies on a gorgeous, inviting flute synth, soaring above the rattling hi-hats. Future's in full-on mush-mouth Auto-Tune grumbling mode, staying low to the ground rather than soaring to the stars.

The persona he's been exploring in advance of his Monster mixtape release is substantially different from the starry-eyed robot lover and astral explorer of his earlier work. His concerns are less romantic than practical, and mercenary.

"Never talk back to cops / Comin' up with scenarios," he raps. "A dope sale open plenty doors / Fish scale with the odor / I'm servin' up Lamar Odom / F**kin' b***hes look like Kardashians."
