i don't think anyone is really debating that. he's also been in the public consciousness for like 3 months, it's not a huge indictment on him

i don't think ilx can stand for anyone but forks using "wacka". he's, like, the full quotient of representation whereby we do not simply die of embarrassment but soldier on.

That Kreayshawn feature is kinda embarrassing. I think she was born to make GG and nothing more.

guess this is on the dj drama album? it's also on the pusha t album. anyway, french montana's hook on this is amazing

Does Asap have a ground-level following in NY?
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:08 (twelve years ago) link
how could he? until 2 mo. ago he had 2 songs
― The boyboy young jess (D-40), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:10 (twelve years ago) link
I don't see how that precludes anything.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link
kreay sounds bad on this, yeah -- beat doesn't work for her
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
And I'm more interested in hearing someone from NY answer that than someone from elsewhere project his assumptions onto them. xp
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
no disrespect to the NY-based posters but i kinda doubt anyone here can speak of 'ground-level following' there vs. media bubble hype
― some dude, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:34 (twelve years ago) link
Rev I dunno my understanding of what a ground level phenomenon would be involves months of legwork, doing shows, releasing tapes that build buzz... Whats yours
― The boyboy young jess (D-40), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 00:45 (twelve years ago) link
hi, i really like the 2 chainz album
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 November 2011 01:24 (twelve years ago) link
I was at the show at alife when he opened for Danny brown, before XXX came Out and before ASAP had any press. It was packed.
I was also at the santos show that he headlined. Also packed. Don't remember how much press he had at this point.
He played during some juicy j thing one day I didn't go but supposedly he we t over really well.
I have nothing to do with the "hype cycle" or whatever the fuck. Do with this info whatever you may. such an NYC complex around here it's glaring. Why does a rapper get your goat

I think most of the Pusha EP is out there in one form or another
― Number None, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 01:45 (twelve years ago) link
i think every song is out there except the opener w/ diddy which isn't v good
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 November 2011 01:49 (twelve years ago) link
also every idea he's ever had has been out there since 2002

flames instead of flame is an acceptable variation though -- waka's in the optional pluralization category with joe budden(s) and meek mill(z)

i prefer millz, no idea why they changed it

ASAP Rocky track-by-track, * track is a highlight
Palace -- Clams' beat sounds all nastily mastered & rocky sounds kind of lost over amorphous beats like this, his rhythmic sense isn't tight enough
*Peso -- probably the best song he'll ever do
Bass -- First example of me getting really tired of the overuse of downtuned vocals for hooks / otherwise, beat is kind of lame
Wassup -- If I was to rep for a Clams beat on this, it would be this one, which is assisted by being a part of a 2:41 second song. Space-yness sounds kinda like the equiv of hanging out under orange sodium lights (dunno if that makes sense). Only part of the beat that sucks is when he does this weird unnecessary hi-hat fill.
*Brand New Guy -- downtuned voice is back, becoming a lame chorus trick. Schoolboy Q is dope on this but sorta makes other rappers on it look bad. Pretty great beat.
Purple Swag Ch 2 -- one of the most boring beats on the record. generic s&c salih williams ripoff ish
Get Lit -- again generic production, downtuned vocals are back again, rapping is dull
*Trilla -- perhaps the best beat on the record. Flows on this work nicely. I hope this gets redone by other rappers though
*Keep It G -- I will never get tired of noirish sax traxx.
Kissin Pink -- too much singing. a bit generic
Houston Old Head -- I know ppl like this but I don't think I can really deal w/ introspective Rocky.
Acid Drip -- no diss in case he's reading but the Soufein3000 beats feel like the most generic on the record
Leaf -- I don't like main attrakionz really, flows on this sound lost. Again, Clams beats dont really work here
*Roll One Up -- One of the record's best beats. Anyone could work on this, Rocky will do
Demons -- too many Clams beats, feel like im in an aural weed coma (in a restless, anxious way)
Out of this World -- I hate this drum sound, dont understand how it became so big (kanye?)
