the dude turned his personal twitter account (which was great + hilarious) into the official asap rocky account & is calling himself asap's manager
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
As far as i'm aware ASAP basically has like ten songs in circulation, so it's kind of a wait and see situation. But yeah, i dig him.

oh ok i dont follow or read any twitter, sounds like that sucks tho

real nigga tumblr is my favourite blog ever
― uh oh whats your fantasy (flopson), Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
is there really so much shit like this that it's starting to blur? (names plz) i don't really keep up w/tons of new stuff. i love new age and super chill shit, so it's nice to hear this sound coming into hip hop. can't listen to lil b. dude gets on my nerves. dug the clams casino tape i heard. i've even forced myself to listen to drake because i like the vibe, but dont' really dig him.
from the realniggatumblr, heard this, pretty nice (altho sounds like a lil b beat)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZbW7w6eYs4

ummm, jax have you heard spaceghostpurp?
also a lot of soulja boy
squadda b & all that main attrakionz stuff 2
― uh oh whats your fantasy (flopson), Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
like, as a "rap journalist" myself i'm wary of "covering" asap myself since i've had some interactions on tumblr & twitter w/ RNT. it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme tho. it mostly sux cuz dude abandoned his blog, which was the best
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
yes exactly -- the squadda b tape is great, some dope clams stuff on there
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
i've heard a bunch of soulja, but not tons. i'll check out spaceghostpurrp & squadda
― jaxon, Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
soulja is a different strand, not really as insular as some of that other stuff. still very great tho.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 August 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
Greenova seem to release a tape a week. Some good stuff once you sort the wheat from the chaff though
― Number None, Thursday, 4 August 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah jaxon this sound is pretty big in rap blog world atm, if you're into it there is a lot of it. my only gripes with it as a trend are that while i like some clams casino & squadda b beats its a bit too weak drumswise & i find strong hooks are compromised for the murky/ethereal stoner vibe. n a bd rly i just don't listen to it in large quantities. check out recent wiz khalifa output 2, if not aesthetically identical a lot of this feels like it has trickled down from that

http://www.realniggatumblr.com/post/5724666459/whats-your-opinion-on-rap-journalism-criticism-andWhat’s worse is that ppl automatically assume cuz I read rap blogs and do all that dork ass shit I’m not from the hood and this whole thing an act. That’s kinda offending that you would think that somebody who grew up in the hood couldn’t possibly have the same sites bookmarked as you. Like we only go to mediatakeout and worldstar. That’s a hoe ass mentality. These bloggin ass fuckniggas lucky i can’t turn into kinetic energy and start traveling through the cable modems and shit on my superhuman cyber samurai shit. Them terry richardson opticals woulda been flyin across the room ya heard.
