There is absolutely nothing special about ASAP Rocky

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Can someone explain to me the appeal?

He' not lyrical. His whole swag is from another region.

His beats are cool but that aint got shyt to do with him. You could easily replace this cat with someone else and it would be no big deal.

You can look at cats like Drake, Kendrick, Future, Cudi, etc. and at least there's something unique about their artistry.

I put ASAP on the same level of Big Sean.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

I agree, but I feel the same about everyone else you mentioned too except maybe Kendrick.

all those cats he listed are pretty unique tho

 

[Big Blue]

His flow is almost second to non. He can ride a beat like no other.

 

[stealthbomber]

theres absolutely nothing special about this thread either

 

[WickedGames]

I'm a fan and I agree theres nothing special about him as a rapper. He just swags over a track and says some fly sh*T and has good beat selection.

Everytime he does a feature he gets eaten. What Q did to him on PMW wasn't nice and like 25 niqqas ate his food on 1Train

 

[H.J.Duck]

I kinda consider myself an A$AP fan and I agree that there's nothing really special about him either.

He makes good music Great ear for beats. Knows how to write songs I'd say that having his own certain style (even if it ain't that unique) kinda helps him to be more consistent.

Plus, imo, he has also improved 'lyrically' if u compare his album to his mixtape or A$AP Mob mixtape.

Like most music...its all image.

it's easy to flow on a beat when you're not really spitting any complex rhyme schemes or metaphors... he's just basically "swaggin" over beats

 

[Red Maverick II]

Yeah I don't see it either.

One of my boys was like "ASAP is one of the few new dudes that gives me hope for hiphop."

I listened to some of his shyt, and its just mad ignorance and noise pollution.

Plus he a hypocrite. He said in some interview he doesn't make gangsta rap, then on that Skrillex song he talking about, "You really don't want that glock boy" "We walk around with lasers"

Dude is trashbin status lyrically and conceptually, he just got good production

 

[Pool_Shark]

I like his beats and how well put together the songs on his last tape and first album were. Hes just got dope flows, sayings, and phrasing. He's not for everyone though.

 

[Binary]

Aesthetically, he's the best looking rapper. Musicially, he's so-so. I like some of his tracks but he's not on my daily music playlist.

Pause but Big Sean and Future both got him beat in the looks department.
