ASAP ROCKY PROJECT PUSHED BACK

[NotaPAWG]

Anyone else feel like ASAP's hype was inflated? He came out the gate with a hot mixtape and seemed to have a "movement" but never could make that second step like Drake, Cole, Kendrick, etc. For whatever reason he doesn't translate with the mainstream. His biggest song (fukking Problems) has like every hot rapper on it, which is like an admission of not being hot yourself.

Maybe it's because Drake, Cole, and Kendrick had multiple mixtapes and built their brand over a few years before releasing a major label debut.

Does it matter?

And how is it an admission of not being hot yourself when his album did 140k first week w/ a month early leak? Makes no sense. Singles don't sell albums.

He has a core fanbase, not to mention it's not like he has 1/4th the music out the artists you named, do.

He dropped 1 mixtape, then 1 album that went gold.

Rocky isn't a singles artist and he's obv not anywhere near big enough like Drake to drop a song that isn't exactly single worthy but still gets major radio play and a Grammy nomination.

He really needs to get back with SGP and put 100's on his track and come out with stuff that isn't so dark and corny

Purrp and Rocky been bullshytting. A$AP Yams and SGP squashed the beef over the phone last summer, but they still ain't trying to get in a studio together again.

Maybe I have too much of a realistic point of view but since when does a nikka from a high profile place like NY jus literally appear on the scene with no history, no former crew or name, no old mixtapes, and pretty much no pedigree.

nikka jus came out "on."

Industry plant that didnt fully grow.

fakkit tried to do a quick release and no one gave a shyt

again, how is he a plant if the first time you ever heard of him, it was because he signed a deal?

You guys are just talking shyt. That's not what a plant is.

A plant is someone who pretends to be unsigned and have organic buzz when in fact they've already been signed. And the label is pushing the mixtape in secret. e.g. Kendrick Lamar.

Rocky never had prior buzz because he had no material. His buzz was him being signed. So take that plant talk

There are other reasons to hate on Rocky. But leafiness aint one of them.

Purple Swag was being promoted on Yams tumble that had thousand and thousand of followers and it made its way around tumblr and Facebook and caught on

Take away the H-town/Southern references and the Clams/SGP production and he is pretty average

I'm not really that interested in him talking about how pretty he is and name dropping a bunch of fashion brands...

except for the fact that he has a superb voice when he sounds inspired, which is a huge reason why he's popular. e.g. Palace and Leaf

so there's more to it than you're giving credit for.

that's what makes it funny

 

[Monoblock]

Lets hope it gets pushed back indefinitely. He was a one trick pony IMO and from his recent songs he doesnt sound inspired at all. Jackin Houston shyt only gets you so far.

Spoiler

*waits for it

Well he has one very good mixtape that had those influences I mentioned and that was the only time he has sound inspired to me

He has great rap voice and the look or swag.... He just doesn't have the quality music to put with it.... His career is looking alot like Wiz Khalifa
