Your honest assessment of 'Asap Rocky' both Rap music and his career? :

[BlackDiBiase]

I think he is a wack rapper, an effeminate modern androgynous hiphop icon. He has reached modern day icon status but that's thanks to his networking outside Rap. He was just in Vogue. He is always at fashion week from Paris to Milan and etc. He is always on some vanity like project. I like the one track below and havent heard sh1t I like. That's from him and his whole ASAP clique. Ferg had a good verse on that Nas record on KD but that's pretty much it.

Was I a little harsh or on point or Asap is actually a dope artist and his icon status he receives today is very well deserved?



2chaniz and the beat is what made this a banger. They all had extremely garbage verses

 

[Ziggiy]

Charisma and great networking has seen him through.

As a rapper he’s ok, not great, not wack.

He’s a decent actor.

Fashion is his thing and I guess he’s good at it. Thats not my lane to speak on.

 

[Fanservice]

I only know him for one song and it was carried by 2chainz, Drake and Kendrick

Yeah he was good in that movie with Zoe Kravitz and Chanel Iman I think it was called 'DOPE'.

He is a major celebrity but that was even before Rihanna. He loves the fashion game and they are welcoming him well. He just presented some VOGUE Met Gala thing its on YouTube if anyone is interested. I will post it.

I only know him for one song and it was carried by 2chainz, Drake and Kendrick

Yeah that's the song I posted.

I do not know anything else decent I have heard him on. He did do a hook for G-Eazy that was pretty decent.

I don't think he is a dope rapper though.

Spark when he started...classic mixtape carried mostly by production. Has never come close to matching that mixtape.

The famous one with the American flag in the background and the picture is black and white?

Is there any one track that you would say is pretty good, something with top bars over a top beat?

You don't need to stress yourself and post it. Just any recommendation I am on YouTube now. Thanks.

Hasn’t dropped an album in 7 years his last one I didn’t like initially then it grew on me I like the fact that he experiments with his sound but he has to put some shyt out to keep his fans entertained. I just don’t think rap is his main priority in the industry

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

underrated when it comes to rapping and making music

he might not be heavy on substance
but idk how people can listen to songs like

phoenix
suddenly
canal st
holy ghost
black tux white collar

and think he cant rap
his flow is one of the best since he debuted. top 3 flow tbh

i think he can easily keep up with the dots & folds but its not what he wants

as far as his career…
He obviously underachieved
he pretty much couldve been up there with drake. kendrick & travis as far as popularity but chose to stay away from the rap fame and move into fashion and such

I'm going to check those joints out now

He can still be up there with Drake, K Dot and them. He needs another banger because he still has the same exposure as those guys.

He has a solid fan-base.

It's crazy how nobody mentions the song that make him pop. The everything is purple song. I remember WorldstarHipHop days, after that song he was everywhere.

Phoenix and Canal street beat is not for me too ambient whitegirl type music and the bars are far too slow. It's like his delivery is off too dry not emotion not even in a good way. The hook for Canal Street is dope though.

Suddenly is more of the same, I need some breakbeats some snaps. This is far too ambient sh1t. His bars are predictable too and not heavyweight status.

Holy Ghost not for me but this track reminded he would be major if he was a southern rapper he would be praised because his delivery is lethargic and he doesn't even have topic or theme or even personality with what to expect from his bars.

Black Tux White Collar Is the best of the bunch though and he had a topic and cooked this, pretty good. He is not a heavyweight with the pen though. That is very clear.

Props on the recommendation.

Has a spark when you started but now you just garbage.

 

[Cᵣₐₛₕ&ₜₕₑCₒᵤₚ]

A legend on two-fronts and one of the last artists I pay attention to regarding this genre. He's referred to himself as a renaissance man and I see it completely. Would like to hear one last full-project but if he doesn't drop I'm cool with his discography.​
