I think people will care. He's already got good exposure, much more than Lamar had.

He just needs a better single with an actual video and he's got 250k on lock.

Just curious, what area of the country do you live in? Lamar was saturated in the LA area, which isn't an insignificant section of the country. ASAP isn't unheard of out here, but there simply isn't a comparison. Guessing this is flopped over on the East.

Toronto. I hear people who barely listen to rap know his name, hear people bumping his music on the bus.

Beyond that he's done Rihanna features and stuff too, which is why I think his name will be out there. Plus the whole grabbing her ass thing.

Man you guys were right, I just came across that rocky video. Horrible horrible editing. "let's do the symmetrical/horizontal flip thing because I'm too void of creative abilities to think of anything else to do!" whoever did the video is a major hack.
Rocky has totally lost any credibility to me, from the SGP beef where he ran his mouth to the putting out garbage radio tracks as of late, just everything. He's a bitch to me now. His debut tape is still good but I won't pay attention to any of his new shit.

That earl video is what's good though. Super nice direction all around. Some great ideas in there, love the shot of his floating feet even if it has been done before. The monotone vocals kinda work for him in this one, other times it rubs me the wrong way.

Just curious. I have no idea what Rocky will do, personally. He's not really anything interesting to me, but then again, I'm 32. I've lost track and give a shit trying to figure out what kids will buy musically.

that's what fuckin problems is for. its them shoot for the moon, granted they picked an odd song to do it with.
im already saying the base he has should be good enough.
he passes the "white girl test" from what i've seen.

big boi is chasing real hard on this album. this sound just does not work for him.
he's drowning in the features/production (they fuckin delivered) cause these verses are surprisingly uninteresting.
i guess killer mike had him feeling like he needed to make something a little off the wall.

I don't get it either. He did a huge tour with so many cities this year and going on tour with Rihanna soon. Even if his album flopped somehow. Dude is straight

Oh and A$AP also toured with Drake, which is again, huge. Kendrick was on some of those same dates too.

exactly. he's established in that peer group of "stars"
probably cause they all want to siphon off some of his style.

I listed like three reasons fool...
And i don't hop on trains like the rest of you do. I don't have to read and talk about a dude's twitter and what his last comment on YouTube was to dig his shit. I just listen to the music and if I'm not feeling that then I'm out.

Shit I'm still hooked on '93-'97, let alone giving a fuck about current artists

You just said Drake and Kendrick are trying to siphon from a guy who has yet to sell a single record. You may not be jaded, but I suspect you're just high 24/7. Like, high enough to be the first dude to die from OD'ing on weed.

That's cool but you listed somethings that deal outside his music so it's a bit if a contradiction.

Either way I am still a bit caution to how his debut will sound

And by invested you mean not f5'ing his twitter fb and YT account? Lol... You guys are rediculously nonsensical sometimes. It's no wonder I don't come here often to talk about rap.

im not saying that they're gonna start making music exactly like him but that association matters.

You just said one of your reasons for not listening to Rocky is cause he had beef with SGP. First it was SGP that started the beef but okay.

PD doesn't even pass on a Jay-Z song because he beefed with nas just saying

Most casual fans I've talked to know who ASAP is and haven't really heard of Kendrick (til I tell them he made that drinking song, then they go oooooh).

It works the other way around, actually. The guy about to put out the record usually teams up with the established guys. There really isn't anything Drake needs from Rocky to sell off of. Black Hippy and ASAP have worked together since the beginning, so that's more of an organic thing, I think

guess game figured rapping like kanye was more cost-effective than shelling out for a ye verse.

as for the song, its aight. the beat could go SO much harder.
Click to expand...
I think the beat is fine as is, it doesn't need to be "hard".

I was about to say he doesn't sound like Ye until he brought the HUH?! out.

Song is great.
