Nothing about rocky is trip hop b im sorry. Go listen to roads and tell me where the similarities are. And yeah i admit i might be catching feelings because im passionate about this alt music shyt. Rocky not trash but outside his ear for beats I cant really claim him as some phenomenal artist.

Ive heard m83 on commercials, thats dream pop. Thats mainstream enough for some reg exposure. Im sure if I was at home I could look through my hd and find more. nikkas been sampling that genre before rocky man hes not as visionary as you think. I literally dont think you will find one other person who listened to rocky last lp and a light bulb gOes off in their head and they exclaim "massive attack!" :mjlol:

Even though I'm not feeling M's I'm looking forward to his album especially with production coming from Kanye, Danger Mouse, Juicy J and a Mos Def feature hopefully it's better than his debut which I enjoyed but could've been better if he trimmed it a bit.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/01/album-review-asap-rocky-longliveasap/

In the article: "There’s something of a trip-hop influence embedded in much of this music; opener “LongLiveASAP”, for instance, has a precedent in something like the dark-tinted churn of Sneaker Pimps’ “Spin Spin Sugar”.

http://supertrippy.com/tag/trip-hop/

http://www.stereogum.com/1223872/pr...ong-live-aap/franchises/premature-evaluation/

In the article: "Long.Live.A$AP is, in fact, such a complete piece of lifestyle-music that it practically plays like mid-’90s trip-hop. But it’s not Tricky-weird or Portishead-sad. Instead, the album reminds me of trip-hop B-teamers like Sneaker Pimps or Morcheeba — groups who smartly fused slick prettiness with hints of danger, and who were, as a result, inescapable in every decent clothing store for a year or two there."

In the article: "So Cloud Rap pulls from a diversity of rap sounds and locales – from the East and West Coasts, the Dirty South, and other assorted artists who emerged from Atlanta; from genres closely related to and deriving from hip hop, including drum and bass, grime, and trip hop; and from R&B, dance, indie, rock, and pop music."

In the article: "Clams Casino lends his stoned trip-hop touch to five of the mixtape’s tracks, including standout “Bass”.

http://www.beesatnight.com/2012/01/evening-with-clams-casino.html

In the article: "Throughout his production catalog, we find Clams Casino adding a trip-hop touch to his music while chopping it up with abstract vocal samples (He uses Imogen Heap in I'm God) to give a darker and more experimental sound that is beginning to make its way into the mainstream rap world."

I'm surprised that some of y'all don't see this. I could go on and on.

Name em.

just a cheap way to make money, not promoting the album only works for artists that are already popular and have put in the time to make it happen. Since Beyonce did it and Cole was able to do it, other artists think they can get away with it. The artists and their labels now are afraid to pour resources into themselves and so are trying to make this fad the norm to maximize a profit.

In my opinion all it's going to do is hold hip-hop back.
I'd rather have someone tell me their album is out in a few days than keep talking about it for months in advance

ASAP fanbase purely consist of kids online in some fashion, so i don't think a huge promo this is necessary for him...people are gonna at least check for it when it drops...
