i know nobody on here likes sgp, but at the very least this confirms my suspicions that asap is super wack. must have been an awk tour bus escape ride all together

well i mean people got riled up over waka's tour bus being shot at, and the drake/chris brown altercation. this fight seems like it's the most WWE of all those clashes

ASAP has been absolutely terrible on everything since his first mixtape IMO .... has to be the stupidest 3 million sony has ever spent.. . rocky is too stupid to be an artist, too real to be a major label puppet.....
meanwhile...."“I want to say it’s looking like top of the year, first quarter because it makes no sense to put out a album in December,” Rocky said in an interview. “The issue with my album is I got things on it that’s so out of this world that it’s taking so long to get mastered. That’s the issue, and I refuse to take anything off. … It’s complete. Everything is being mastered and cleared right now.”"
lolololol
oh god i can imiagine him wide eyed with fear listening to the kendrick album - he raised the bar while i was faffing around smoking bongs with danny brown?

rockys music is so powerfully forward thinking that he has to wait for technology to catch up to him

thinking about ASAP Rocky takes time that could be better spent thinking about literally any other rapper
for example: what are former Rap-a-Lot group A-G-2-A-Ke up to? what ever happened to Jarobi?

With tensions boiling through the media and from what we may not know, tonight could have been the culmination of their rising tensions.

personally i'm not buying the idea that yams created RNT in some mastermind plan to blow asap rocky up
― d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:04 (eleven years ago) link
Agree. But I bet he saw the opportunities pretty early as it got going.
― queef ka queef (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:05 (eleven years ago) link
yeah.
i wonder if rocky or anyone else in the asap camp read that article and objected to how much credit caramanica gave yams for helping to create rocky
― d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:07 (eleven years ago) link
-“Fuckin’ Problems” came from Drake’s camp more or less complete.
interesting
― flopson, Monday, 28 January 2013 03:08 (eleven years ago) link
Sounded like a Drake song with a Rocky verse thrown in.
― queef ka queef (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:09 (eleven years ago) link
*sounds
i don't see why it's implausible. a LOT of dudes have tried to start rap blogs in the past few years in part to build buzz for their own career or someone in their crew, the other ones just weren't so successful.
― some dude, Monday, 28 January 2013 03:09 (eleven years ago) link
oh it's certainly plausible
― d'eejban (J0rdan S.), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:11 (eleven years ago) link
well yeah that's not surprising at all
it really is kind of diabolical how Drake has been running a lead single factory for new dudes trying to get a release date
― some dude, Monday, 28 January 2013 03:12 (eleven years ago) link
I wish he hadn't ruined "fo real" but i think that could be a big single for Future anyway
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:17 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i mean there are songs like "Amen" where he doesn't really get in the way or drive the appeal of the whole thing
― some dude, Monday, 28 January 2013 03:19 (eleven years ago) link
new track "LSD" is great imo + video is great too
is it just me or does the video have serious "enter the void" vibes?

"rocky has literally nothing to say about anything, not even his own music."
its a$ap rocky. he is not exactly known for his content.
― StillAdvance, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 09:42 (nine years ago) link
this song kinda shades whoever upthread was saying kendrick's prob got a$ap worried, i'm not a huge fan of his necessarily (i like stuff like "suddenly" a lot) but this is definitely a next level iteration of his aesthetic. pretty beautiful actually, gonna go add to my 2015 songs list rn
― soyrev, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 11:15 (nine years ago) link
video's really nice too (and bonus cred in my book as more fuel to the fire that is asian pop culture's takeover in the next year or two, shit is everywhere these days get hype)

A$AP Roddy
album came out a week early & is streamable. tracklist looks both intriguing and overstuffed as hell
I've loved most of the new songs tho, especially everyday and LSD
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 11:52 (nine years ago) link
a few listens, a few thoughts...
pleasantly surprised to hear this more psychedelic sound suiting him well, but aside from a few highlights it feels unfocused. not helped by all the bloat... cutting the entire middle third of the record (really, up until wayne's verse) would do a lot of good by itself. also some sequencing weirdness, I'm not sure if the record needed both "LSD" and "excuse me" but it definitely didn't need them side by side.
speaking of, I really was not expecting wayne to save "M'$." might be the best verse on the whole album...following his show-stealer on tyler's new one, no less. digging how he really shows up on these younger rappers' records, hoping it continues, (elsewhere, I wonder what kanye wanted in return for...that...)

i cannot stand that L$D song jeez :( :( :(
hope the album is better
ferg is my fav asap tho
