Film ASAP Rocky

[Iron Stove]

The LiveLoveA$AP mixtape has been out for a while, but I just found it and couldn't find a thread so..

Don't listen to a lot to hiphop nowadays, but this is just fecking amazing. Doesn't hurt that Clams Casino has produced a lot of the tunes.

 

[vanthaman]

Purple Swag

 

[R.N7]

Peso is a tune, Purple Swag too

 

[CLK_FPC]

Massively over rated. People are going crazy for clams casino but he's been producing for Lil B for ages. Leads me to believe most people who diss don't actually listen to his music!

 

[Hectic]

I was going to make a thread on Clams.....unreal producer, that Rainforest EP is stunning.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Weird as feck listening to A$AP, never thought I'd see the day when I'd see an East Coast rapper rapping like he wishes he's from the South, I like it to be fair.

Went to the concert at Cargo last night, it was fecking off. He knows how to perform and his set order helped too.

Tons of people there who came just to say they went to his first London show but the vibe was alright, when he did Peso as an encore I thought some of the tiny babes at the front were gonna get crushed.

 

[Jiggs'Hamstring]

Would have fecking loved to make it to the Cargo show

 

[CLK_FPC]

Would have fecking loved to make it to the Cargo show

It was a sweatbox, people snuck in so it was over capacity. If you went over in there you would have died, but I think it made the atmosphere better.

He jumped directly on me when he stage dived during pretty flacko.

Think he has more shows in June one in Camden's Electric Ballroom so have a look for tickets

 

[ArmchairCritic]

I feck's with A$AP man, when's that show in June CLK, already going to Kendrick Lamar's show there also in June. Can't wait.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Ah can't go to his show in June, during exam season .

I fecking went anyway, jumped onto the train straight after an exam. Had pencils and pens in my pockets. It was fecking crazy, this guy knows how perform. Performed Thuggin' Noise which is some of his new shit, sounds dope.

When Pretty Flacko came on everyone went crazy, his set order is great. He spaced out Pretty Flacko, Brand New Guy, Purple Swag and Pe$o really well. His DJ killed after he finished as well. Man, when he came out to Pretty Flacko it was just insanity. There were loads of hipsters about but where I was stood with my mates the energy was ridiculous. It was jumping like Vince Carter in the dunk contest and all that for £14!

 

[JakeC]

Hipster fest! he's quality though

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Yup. feck 'em though. His DJ dropped ScHoolboy Q, 'Nightmare on Figg St.', after Rocky had finished and I went crazy and loads of hipsters gave me funny looks.

Rocky where you been I been thugging with my team! That song is too fecking hard

 

[CLK_FPC]

Dropped Bath Salts off the A$AP Mob album this morning, shit was about to be frisbee until Rocky's verse.

Went in!

"Only die for 2 things my money and my mother, motherfecker"

 

[KiD MoYeS]

The A$AP crew aren't very good rappers, are they?

 

[CLK_FPC]

Incorrect

 

[CLK_FPC]

I changed my mind 'Bath Salts' is decent.

Purple Kisses video out on Monday and then Lord$ Never Worry out on August 28th

 

[CLK_FPC]

Lord$ Never Worry dropped last night

Listening now, happy YNRE and Persian Wine are on there as well as the full version of Thugging Noise

 

[Hectic]

Persian Wine, Told Ya & Gotham City...Production on these is insane.

 

[CLK_FPC]

I speak to 1 of VeryRVRE that did Persian Wine and Purple kisses

 

[Iron Stove]

Ridiculously good mixtape

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Listening to it now, production is quality, expected that from an A$AP project.

Only have listened to Rocky so still unsure to the other rappers. Great to get Danny Brown on there...

Danny Brown's verse was good, as we're the Rocky verses. None of the other members are very good rappers at all though. Rocky isn't even really that good but he knows how to make songs sound good, the rest can't even manage that. I spent most of my time trying to ignore their rapping and listen to the beats instead.

To be honest I don't like the other A$AP rappers, I enjoy Rocky's flow and his production choice.

Yep, same here. An instrumental version would be amazing.

 

[Adzzz]

Gotta be honest I fecking love that Pe$o tune.

 

[Hectic]

That's the problem with all of them really, none of them are good rappers. Rocky is rated so much higher because he's surrounded by rappers who can barely speak English. His flow suits the production very well, given, but there's rarely anything of substance from him, it's just ignorant shit but at least he sounds good on the beats compared to the rest of the Mob. I'd gladly take an all Rocky version of that tape, but an instrumental would be best.

Same problem with Rvidxr Klvn, except for them it's even worse. I much prefer the production coming out of Raiders, but the rapping is so poor, it makes hard listening. I think Lil Ugly Mane has the best out of them (honorary), but to be honest he still isn't very good, in fact I prefer it when he's just chopped and screwed instead.

Good example, crazy beat that I love, but with utter shit rap. Goldeneye sample....beautiful.

Twelvy and Ferg are good

 

[ArmchairCritic]

A$AP Mob are on the whole shit with excellent production, Rocky's flow helps him stand out. Flow+Production is enough.

Depends what you're into.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Nah it's enough, horrible lyricism is ignored when an excellent flow is coupled with excellent production. For instance the line:

"Never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I'm slippin' "

Totally shit but totally ignored. Biggie didn't have brilliant lyricism but his flow was impeccable.

Whoa there! He wasn't half bad lyrically.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Yeah but he's not like a lot of these Underground cats who can spit dictionaries and shit, sometimes rappers overcomplicate things. On the whole flow+content+production wins. With Rocky flow+production is enough and I think he has some content in him but that can come with development.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Content matter is important, Biggie told a story with his lyrics, it did help that he had the best flow of all time, but with Rocky, who I like, his subject matter and content is repetitive and stale as feck, his flow and production choice make him good.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

What the feck is this new single? I don't think Rocky has developed his own identity yet. He needs to squash the beef with RaiderKlvn and get back in the lab with SGP.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Haven't heard it, dunno what direction he's taking at the moment. Loved Goldie.

He distanced himself from the A$AP tape after it got bad reviews, which was a bit shit of him.

A$AP Ferg was the star of that tape. Although when Raekwon started rapping on it I was like shit these guys are awful in comparison.
