![]() ![]() It seemed that the cassette tape version of this single (catalog ID: TYSY-2028), released on the same day as the mini-CD single version (7th February, 1990), contained the original karaoke versions to both the opening and ending themes, which neither of them appears on the CD format release (catalog ID for the CD: TYDY-2028) making it a rather special item in that it contains exclusive material not available on the latter format. What I do remember about the auction for it was that I ended up in a bidding war with another user for this item, but I ended up as the winner for it at a little over 8,000 yen. I acquired it on Yahoo Japan Auctions many years ago when I was in the big phase of collecting rare and interesting Bubblegum Crisis merchandise and came across a seller who had listed this rare cassette tape single release to the 7th OVA’s opening theme. This is a rather interesting merchandise release for the Bubblegum Crisis franchise way back in 1990 in terms of being compared to its mini-CD format release. Pictures can be enlarged by right-clicking “View Image” I’ve finally managed to transfer the original karaoke/instrumental versions of “Say, Yes!” and “Never The End” (exclusive to the cassette tape single release of the former title) onto my computer. Most importantly, HNDRXX peels back some of the stereotypes of masculinity that juxtaposes manhood to sex, money, drugs and promiscuity.Probably a treat for the die-hard fans of the original 80’s Bubblegum Crisis here. We’ve seen this Future before, though, with songs like “I’ll Be Yours,” “I Be U,” and “I Won,” all from his sophomore album, Honest. Overall, HNDRXX is a passionate album about a man trying to express his feelings without giving up his virility. ![]() HNDRXX ends with the rapper apologizing to everyone that he’s hurt from family members, ex-girls, and even the pregnant women that sold crack to. The single definitely equates the undeniable chemistry displayed on their 2015 collaboration, “Loveeee Song.” On the Major Seven and Mantra, and Detail-produced “Selfish,” featuring Rihanna, the two find themselves longing to mend a broken relationship. Other noteworthy songs include, “Thank You,” where he credits a special lady for offering him motivation to wake up every morning and go grind. ![]() Later in the album, Dre Moon’s synth and snap-heavy instrumental on “Incredible” helps put his trust issues aside by telling his lady that what he wants to splurge on her and make her wifey. “Girl, I’ve been there for you/know I been there for you/And, you know it’s true,” croons Hendrix on the song. He keeps the same sentiments about his romantic relationships on the Detail and DJ Mustard-produced, “Damage.” Future wails over all the temptations that come with fame. Here, the 33-year-old rapper finds no shame in admitting that women use him for their personal gain. While the Swif and The Track Burnaz-produced, “Use Me,” finds the torn rapper peeling away the ego embedded on his self-titled album. Future raps: “My brother Casino said you wasn’t Freebandz/And at the time I couldn’t see what he saying/You turned your back/Shouldn’t have never gave you a chance/I got four lawyer fees/Shit ain’t never end.” Back in 2016, Rocko sued Future for $10 million over alleged unpaid commission. On The Weeknd-assisted, “Coming out Strong,” the Atlanta native rapper touches on his strained relationship with former friend and mentor, Rocko. Future Levels Up Dubai In “Poppin’ Tags” Visual
