I don't even know why y'all stay comparing this man to Travis.

Rocky more of a rapper and Travis more of a melodic crooner.

Rocky also wants to do experimental shyt like work with UK artists, put Kodak on jail calls, make songs with Mos Def and put out trippy LSD inspired videos. It's his choice to handle other endeavors like fashion, movies, and managing his label people don't know this but Playboi Carti is signed to him.

They have a similar look. Travis def took some of Rockys style....that can't be argued. Travis just has a better pop formula...Rocky is too all over the place sonically to have hits

Might be in the minority but I thought his last album was solid :yeshrug: probably his worst project but was still 7/10 to me.

His heart clearly isn’t fully into music anymore but with Long Live ASAP, ALLA, Live Long ASAP and the ASAP Mob albums his fans have been eating good for a while now

I keep hearing people talking about ASAP Rocky and the fashion industry. I'm not doubting any of you, but what exactly does he do in fashion?
Models for Dior
Has collaborations with Under Armor, Calvin Klein, Needles
I don’t know if he has a hand in Vlone or if that’s strictly Bari’s thing
Ironically despite him being known for this fashion shyt, Travis is making way more money with the Nike shoes

He mainly collab with different fashion brands like Dior. I’m not sure he has his own brand though. But he influenced a lot of young people with his style.

Word, well if he's getting his bread in the fashion world, big ups to him.

To answer this thread, I do think it's wrap for ASAP Mob really making any kind of impact moving forward, but I think Rocky has enough of a built in fanbase that he can take these long hiatuses, come back, and people will still check for him.

Rocky a full time fashion model now, it is what it is. 2nd album was too experimental for me and then it seemed like he didn’t care to rap after that

If you factor in everything the ASAP movement has done you could argue that Rocky is one of the most successful rapper NY has ever seen

Music, Movies, Fashion, bytches, Business

ASAP MOB has excelled in all of that at the highest capacity
You're a dumbass. Ever heard of Jay Z?

:comeon:
We gotta stop being surprised when rappers aren't as a popular as when they came out a decade into their careers that's how it works for %99 of rappers and artists period.

As far as the music I liked Testing but it definitely was his worst project so far and didn't feel focused and concise enough. He's talented enough to bounce back tho.
I think this being asked because Rocky hasn't been prolific, he basically puts out an album every 3 years. If he had 5+ albums this decade would be looked at as more of a "run" in the mainstream space.
