Great Album.......2006-06-08

This is a great cd no matter who you are but most especially if you are a Del fan. Buy it for a third of the price however straight from the source at Hieroglyphics.com.
Lyric Lickin' is my favorite song on the album but its good all around.

DEL'S BEST!.......2006-06-02

Although No need for alarm is close, this is Del's best work. Forget what you hear about "the beats are wack" and "this aint the del I know", WHAT ARE THEY ON? Del's lyrics are on point throughout, bringing the captivating stories, thought-provoking lyrics & of course, his unique admirable flow for all tracks, making it sound easier than ever for the '96. Del seems more focused on this, not just for substance, but he's more mature and touches upon more subjects that stray from "kill all the wack Mc's" and what have you, that was so prominent in earlier releases. Similarly, the beats on this album vary quite abit, which evidently are not to some's taste, . Examples like "Del's nightmare" and the title track "Future development" display a very different sound (obscure samples) to what fan's are used to hearing, but by no means necessary are wack! "Don't forget the bass" "stress the world" "X-files" & "Town to Town" have some of the best del beats yet, if not THE best. There is not one weak track on here, and each and every track is sure to satisy fans of both Del & underground hiphop in general. Cop this, and make your own mind up. PEACE

In need of beat development.......2006-05-19

I got this record at a Heiro show from Phesto from Souls and was soooo amped to hear the lost album of Del's. My friends and I hopped in the car after the show, popped it in the deck and continued to fast-forward till we threw in something else. It is no wonder Del got dropped from Elektra while working on this album and I should have known better when I picked up "Both Sides of the Brain."

The thing is, I KNOW DEL CAN DO BETTER. "No Need For Alarm" was an amasing album and a classic, but this was plain garbage. He is an amazing emcee, but the mehhh beats can only go so far. Sorry folks, but this gets a thumbs down. Check his first two LPs for dopness.

Good Get it @ Hieroglyphics.com.......2006-03-22

This is del's lost album, and totally worth tracking down. compared with the time era of this album Del once again way ahead of the rest. Another Del classic, a shared opinion from all the fans i know.

not del's best..........2005-09-13

this album is alright...but compared to what Del is capable of, this one doesn't cut it. I was excited to get this album, expecting crazy lyrics..and that didn't really happen except for a couple of songs. My favorite songs on here are Love is Worth, and Town to Town. Town to Town is our future version of Del...damaging the sounds like we're used to.

Not a bad album overall. Just average.

This is the DEVELOPMENT hiphops FUTURE needs!!.......2007-03-26

Although this was scheduled for a '96/'97 release it wasnt dropped til after his "Both Sides Of The Brain" album with the new track "Checkin' Out The Rivalry" feat.Casual. I guess Elektra's loss was the hiphop world's gain cuz they were stiffling his growth and being dropped seemed to re-focus and re-energise DEL. This is one hella tight album from both a lyrics and production viewpoint. Del's story-telling is at its pinnacle, his battle rhymes are seriously tight, the innocent humour that so often blesses his lines is evident+sharp and his production on 6 of the tracks is amazing ("Lyric Licking" in particular). In my opinion this album outshines both his "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" and "Both Sides Of The Brain" albums. This album starts off with one of Del's best tracks ever "Lyric Licking", a hard head nodding beat backed up with a funky bassline and ill horns mixed with Del's awesome lyrics. Both "Stress The World" and "Why You Wanna Get Funky On Me?" are jazzy tales of everyday life. The next 3 tracks "Dont Forget The Bass", "Faulty" and "X-Files" are the usual quirky tracks we've come to expect from the Delmeister's albums were he lets loose over unique production. "Future Development" is one of the better tracks on display with tight beats+rhymes. I think "Corner Story" is one of the mellowest+laid back tracks Ive heard by Del were he tells tales of growing up heading to the store+chilling with his friends. The beautifully lush jazz A-Plus produced soundscape is the perfect backdrop for such a fun-filled story. "Love Is Worth", "Del's Nightmare" and "Games Begin" are all tight tracks but dont really stand out."Town 2 Town" is an excellent track with brillianr production that inablies Del to take the listen on a journey through his thoughts+entertains all the way. The final track "Checkin Out The Rivalry" feat.Casual is a battle rap track of sorts were both mc's tear down the Toure produced beat to shreads!! The album is a great addition to any hiphop fans collection but at NOWHERE NEAR that ridiculous price!! ($80-disgraceful!!)

Del's Finest.......2007-03-11

This rarity is easily Del's best album. Some of his finest storytelling. This is one of those albums that you have to listen to when you need a reminder that great emcee's do come from Cali.

classic hip hop by a legend.......2006-07-25

Future development is not Del's tightest(I think everyone can agree that Deltron 3030 delivers the best lyrical assault out of Del's collective), but this album carries an old school hip hop flavor that is hard to deny. The lyrics are still tight and on point and the beats are rather decent. If you are the kind that compares, you would notice that this albums production is much better than Both sides of the brain, yet the lyrical content is somewhat more achieved on Both sides of the brain, whereas the lyrics on Future Development are kind of in the growing process of Del's flow style. Still an amazing album by one of the best emcees ever. Pick it up, bask in the classic hip hop flavor, get schooled by the Delmeister.

This is Del's best .......2006-03-10

If you liked "deltron3030" then you will love this ablum even more .Future Development has very kick back cool songs ,but also is still very political like alot of del's other ablums.You need this ablum!

Del at his best, this cd is a classic!!!!!!!!.......2005-01-09

This is a great cd. Unfortunately this cd has never been released in the US because Del got cut from his label before it came out. You can still get this cd at certain locations. And its worth it. I love Del and have every album he was ever on or in and these are the sickest songs i think hes ever made except maybe for Deltron 3030, its close though. Its too bad that this cd was never formally released as this could have been his #1 album. The lyrics are sick of course and since most of the production was by Del himself, you here his tight ass mellow but hard hitting beats. I definately recommend that your order this. You can get it for normal price at Hieroglyphics.com
