ahead of their time in NY and lack of local organic comeup ("buzz")
You ever wonder why NYC never got behind ASAP they way they do these new mediocre acts?

organic?
This is what I'm talking about. To y'all, organic equals "release shytty music for years that no one but your immediate crew/block listens to. Do this until you get a major cosign from Jay-Z/Bey/Dre whoever."
But "plant" is "release one song on tumblr and let it go viral, and once that song shows real interest in your music/aesthetic, you sign a deal and release non-cosign dependent music."
shyt is weird to me. Young MA and Bobby didn't have the streets on fire until the right-on-time cosigns started pouring in.

Can’t talk to broke boys
ASAP is huge in NYC
They aren't nearly as active musically as the other nikkas you talking about, so it may seem like they ain't poppin
Most them asap nikkas into the fashion world and shyt now anyway so they kinda out the limelight

Bobby had maybe 1-2 other songs recorded by the time "hot nikka" was released. That's why his first tape was a comp of his crew music. Dumbass still speaking on shyt u don't know
99% of Bobby's listeners had no idea who he was until Hot nikka started buzzing on vine. I saw the video for Hot nikka when it had like 10,000 views. And the video had already been out for months, languishing online. So stop it.

Nah Bobby was known locally. He GS9 that's a set with a big legacy.
I hate NY threads, nikkas be having no clue what they talk about.

What that have to do with him not having really released much of anything before hot nikka?Only other song u could find from him at that time was smoney dance which was rowdy song. Until that comp mixtape dropped. Just cause his gang is known don't mean he was known as a rapper
Problem fixed

Post the songs clown. Or stfu hoe
Correct answerAsap rocky came out of nowhere and was championed by cac hipster publications and catapulted to stardom, no grassroots anything, he just became a star overnight..
Even with that considered, most young people in ny embraced asap.. it was a few older people that said he sounded like he was from the south but they were the vast minority. Everybody isnt going to like something, thats life. Instead of accepting that u rocky stans have held onto the fact that a few nikkas didnt like him and blame NY as a whole for rocky not becoming a huge platinum selling rapper when the reality is he has no one to blame but himself for rocking dresses and regressing musically.
A Boogie and Don Q are the ones that most young people are fukking with now and its strictly about the music, no one cares if they were in a gang or did any dirt, good music is good music. Theyre being embraced just like Rocky was, and the ball is in their hands for them to either carry it or drop it like Rocky did
