Future's album Honest, which finally came out back in April, was a fine piece of work, but there are songs that didn't make the album that hold up as well as what's on it. One of those tracks was "Rock Star," a Nicki Minaj collaboration that fell victim to sample-clearance issues. Specifically, the song uses a piece of the cheesed-out saxophone from George Michael's "Careless Whisper," and apparently you can't do that, even if you dice and process said saxophone to pieces. But the track has still made its way to the internet, and you can hear it below.
