Rocky should feel lucky this weedplate dropped the same time as Pusha vs Drake. Lets all pretend this never released and try again

Never listened to rocky album. His songs are ok, but Idk if I can handle a whole ASAP Rocky. I’ve seen people praise it saying he’s trying out new styles and sounds but I just listened to hund34d and it sounds like any other asap song ever made I think I’ll pass

I honestly like what he was trying to do. It's like Yeezus fully realized in a way but done more smoother with adult contemporary like samples and shyt, not as rough around the edges as Yeezus was and his version of it.

However his flow and rapping is what hurt this album the most. Songs like OG Beeper, fukk Sleep, and Praise The Lord was ruined due to his rapping.

Brother Man even was a dope concept and an ode to Marvin Gaye I felt but his rapping ruined it and it sounded like Frank Ocean wrote his verse, while French actually did a great job imo.

Kids Turned Out Fine was cool but there was too much noise in the beat and it sounds like Frank Ocean wrote parts of that song too.

Tony Tone was dope with the way he started it and the old Salt N Pepa vocal sample he put on their (My mic sounds nice) but it was weak overall and waste of a good beat.

Purity was okay, Asap Forever was cool though and l like the addition of Cudi, Call Drops with Kodak was fire and made me appreciate Kodak as a rapper even more and I thought it was dope. Overall I also feel they could have chilled out with the effects and the way some of this was mixed like others in here said but I liked the beats and appreciate him trying something different. I wanted to like it more but he was just not an interesting enough Emcee to get the job done.

“Praise the Lord” is so much fukking fun.

Make this a single.

This. Such a highly forgettable album that people are falling all over themselves trying to find positive things about. This album should fade away faster than Revival.

Yet some how he outsold Pusha's album by 1k.

I guess he should be happy and appreciative he is great when it comes to presentation and has a strong fanbase who fall for his hype and love his fashion shyt.

Only good track is Buck Shots

I really don’t think this album is terrible. Live. Love. A$AP is a classic, but I’ve never held Rocky to just that. Rocky’s always been experimental he just doesn’t always execute it right.

pretty much this. his last album was actually pretty good in terms of experimenting. idk why he ditched joe fox.

this one was doing too much. too much sound affects, bad song order and too much filler.

There’s actually a couple Rocky verses that I thought sounded ghost written
