Last night, on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Future and Pusha T performed “Move That Dope” from Future’s latest album, Honest, which dropped this week. It’s his first album since his 2012 debut, Pluto, which had five hit singles, including “Magic” and “Tony Montana.” Honest is more solemn, with darker undertones and introspective lyrics. It’s more gritty than light hearted, with songs like “Sh!t” and “Move That Dope” that recount life in the hood. Although it was hard to discern his word choice on The Tonight Show—was Future saying “dope” or “dough?” “Nigga” or something else?—Fallon clearly introduced the song as “Move That Dough.”
Even so, the pair, accompanied by The Roots, gave a great performance. Future looked fresh in his white jeans and sunglasses (which he never took off), and Pusha T killed it with his energy and strong delivery. By booking the two, Fallon was clearly trying to appeal to his increasingly younger audience and perhaps Future was trying to send a message, too. “Move That Dope” might be about selling drugs, but on a deeper level, it’s about the reality of being a young black men growing up in a society without equal opportunities or choices.
