MR.CHARLES 2789 The way the songs are orchestrated and how the music sounds sonically are worse than his previous projects. This album is trash and by far his worst yet
Sad people didn’t like this album and that kept them from hearing this masterpiece but honestly it’s one of those if you know you know type tracks. Glad I know
@@adriboy01 because it gives a different vibes from what rocky used to put out. It sounds so different from his old stuff. The people who said this album is bad are mostly his old fans who been messing with him in a long time and the people who said this album is amazing is mostly a new fans. A heavy old school hip hop head is mostly the people who said this album is ass. The good thing about Testing is it brings new fans to the game and probably decreased sum old fans since rocky changed his sound. For me personally Testing is not his best album but sure amazing
@@cream2831 Yeah I mean, it's obviously really different but at the same time I think artists should keep trying new styles and sounds. But yeah I get your point, maybe they wanted him to put out stuff that they listened to growing up.
Songs can get old and dated but so many of these songs you can take with you through problems or changes through your life. Asap shared what was going on in the inside not the ego rappers usually share. That's my take.
Rocky sounds like old Live Love A$AP era 😤🔥 this sudden move of him going back to his debut sound will keep him relevant for another 2-3 yrs since the old core fans will fuck with this
@@ssjliano9971 i mean "testing" is a great album it covers another era of rocky post momemtum of fame, he really opens up and leaves the alpha boy out of the window to show his weaknesses (change is kinda hard for him to driop imo)
Still one of my favorite Rocky tracks! This album is all around a creative experience, don’t understand all the hate it got back then when it released!
Didnt like this album at first but had to revisit because it just didnt feel right that i quickly dismissed it as garbage. Holy shit is this song good. So sorry for sleeping on this.
this song showed me how versatile hip hop can be and put me on a wave i would later fall in love with, im so happy for this songs existence. this 1 of those songs you never forget
This needs a music video with Rocky walking down a foggy street late at night with some shots of abandoned buildings, the moon and grey skies, maybe with a greytone filter Or maybe the same scenes but at sunset and with a sepia filter, so where it would be moonlight and mist it would be sunset and water instead 🔥
I think it should havw a video say someone got shot and or something and as hes being rushed to hospital he has trippy visions of his past and that coz of the "from the craddle to the grave" sample
@@pHataszz that sounds horrible! I really wanted to visit New York and maybe even live there temporarily while I work on my music and art because I love the realness and grimyness of the city, unlike LA where it's about glitz and glamor. I want to see rats and homeless people and graffiti. It must suck even kore for the locals who are just tryna live. thoughts and prayers to y'all, especially in these cruel times
@@stickman9009 many blessings your way as well, i couldnt have put it more beautifully, dont be disheartened by these urban processes keep on the path, really its a shame if we're gonna just give up the places that raised us just like that without a peep
Came back to this masterpiece of a song after taking acid for the first time and at 1:36 it instantly took me to the happiest place I’ve ever experienced but when the beat switched it felt like I fell in a loop of holes until the rap part where I realized I was back where I started and I got this numb weird feeling and it felt like the wind was rushing against me and shit god damn I wish I knew how to explain it but everything was just out of my ordinary to simply explain. Love this song it sounds so much better now.
you know that moment when you just feel so happy inside, like when i listen to “today was a good day” that kind of feeling? that’s how this song feels, and that’s saying a lot.
I love how everyone is talking about the beat but does anyone know where the beat comes from who made it…??? Rip screw… love how asap is still keeping screw alive threw his music and keeping his leagacy going but I’m sure you young cats don’t kno nothing about that
This came out a little over 2 years ago and already has some great memories attached to it. Fucking love this record man, came out at the perfect time. Asap Rocky is one of those rappers that isn't really ''the best'' but is as unique as they can get.
From the cradle to the grave, I'ma put in work From the cradle to the grave, I'ma put in work Yeah, uh-huh All year long bruh, stuck up in my zone all by my lonesome Pay the role my dues, I brought my own funds When it's time to war I brought my own guns Difference is I'm ghetto but I'm wholesome Nigga saying I switch up like I'm on somethin' Why you always treat me like I owe some Truthfully you only wanna hold some Whip it like I've been a slave Bucking from the twelve like I've been afraid Motorola, burn out couple minutes saved Kept a pre-paid, on my hip them days Hundred forty third and from the menacing Cam'ron had us wearing pink From the cradle to the grave Putting work, hustle 'round the corner where my mans'd stay Couldn't work, open up shop now from the corner store Make 'em rennovate, with the killer's stand Fuck a lemonade, but they cook it by the Minute Maid Couple niggas hate but the best form of flattery is When you imi-, when you imitate, ayy Tell me how it's gonna be Tell me how it's gonna be Tell me how it's gonna be (Ohh) Tell me how it's gonna be With my back against the wall Nigga I'ma ball Show you how to ball, got it with the squad Never had a job, but I kept a broad When I went in Saks, went and copped it all My cougars had me lit Kept a PYT Your mama on my dick (Prettier than a bitch) And I'm overseas And I had to ball, seein' overseas hoes (Really litty lit) We ain't counterfeit like we have face tats How you name go when, where your hoes?

Music video should be Rocky visiting 143rd street where Peso was filmed and walking around Harlem with of course special effects to make stuff cooler and how this song sounds like the old him and it’ll be a “yeah im still chillin dont say i changed” type vibe
This might be the most underrated song of all time
Not even close
What a cliche comment
Id say its unappreciated.
@Selasi Sablah How's 2.4mil views underrated?
Facts.
Testing isn’t an album it’s an experience
word
yo, my mans speakin facts 💯
Alex Atkinson he's just testing his mic
Fax bro
@@Ihtamubna lo
This song takes me back to an era of hip hop that never existed... it’s weirdly nostalgic.
alternate reality old school sci fi
this sounds like a song that rocky would have released in 2013. That's why
This shit Heat it should be a movie and beyond this world
You trippin’ hard. This is the sound of Houston, Tx in the late 90’s
You buggin' this is that straight H-Town shit, that Screw eeeh!!
Lmao Rocky dropped one of the best albums this year and people be hating for no reason
i wasn’t fw it at first but i heard the album again and realized i was trippin lol
Who’s hating ?
it's all becuz Rocky just being himself and not getting in to the pop rap trap bullshit train. Testing really stands out
u russian ?
Looks like there's a rocky road ahead of them lol
Best song on the album
Dacasso & Praise the Lord 🔥
This one, praise the lord and fukk sleep in my opinion 🔥
Kids Turned Out Fine
Hun43rd
Purity
This is fucking trinity
agreed. easily the best.
Gunz n butter for me
this has strong live.love.asap vibes. daaamn.
FG it doessssss!!!
FG Hell yeah it does!!!!
Fr!
Thats why its the best song on the album, I'm all for change but i wish rocky sticked to this rather than the crap he tested out here
Too bad the rest of the album is garbage. Maybe asap forever is saved.
The album is truly a masterpiece I love the new sounds the wait was definitely worth it
ASAP Rocky #1 🔥🔥💯
Bro hes trash now😭😭😭
YSL Cartier explain?
MR.CHARLES 2789 The way the songs are orchestrated and how the music sounds sonically are worse than his previous projects. This album is trash and by far his worst yet
YSL Cartier so why you here?
This is just another another vibe and I feel sorry for the people who don't resonate with it. One of the most underrated songs ever.

Sad people didn’t like this album and that kept them from hearing this masterpiece but honestly it’s one of those if you know you know type tracks. Glad I know
I don't know how people can hate this album...
Now a lot of people say that this is Rocky best album and one of the best album of the year, LMAO

Worrrd this is comparable to Peso, never thought of it like that
Just pumped iron to this juice for at least an hour 🤙🏻
@@killswitchfate nice👌
this style of music should be called "Psychedelic Rap"
it’s called cloud rap which is a pretty descriptive name imo
It is called psychedelic rap low key, along w Action Bronson, 2 Chainz, Early Chance The Rapper, Mac Miller, Travis Scott
@@YacoFlaco definitely not this is Memphis phonk at it's finest
It is
Hell yeahhhh
"From the cradle to the grave i'mma put in work." 2Pac sample.
Andray Anderson Fool
Fool. Smh 2pac got a country accent now? Lmao u a fuck boy. Prolli would rob yo ass at the mc donalds.
@@goldienassociates you are an idiot
@@goldienassociates even if he wasn't right you're still an idiot. it's from "thug life" and 2pac was on that track too
It would make sense since 2pac is west coast and the beat is westcoast oldschool with those high synths and the keys.
Rocky sounds like old Live Love A$AP era 😤🔥 this sudden move of him going back to his debut sound will keep him relevant for another 2-3 yrs since the old core fans will fuck with this
why would he go backwards lol?

Jennifer Lavallee hell yeah same thoughts. instantly knew.
it's a 2pac sample btw.... makes it even better
this album has aged so nicely, i would genuinely consider this song as a top 10 rocky track and definitely one of the better songs from 2018 rap
Idk imo this is Rocky’s best project

Are we not gonna talk about how lit that transition at 2:03 is? Fya 🔥
David John RIGHT
Fax it was actually amazing
I fucking resurrected when I heard it beo
Favorite Part ¡!
This is my fav track off the album . Reminds me of when he first came out with the whole gang. RIP Yams 🙏🏾 The gang misses you G
ASAP still got that HTOWN / newyork flow to his songs
lmfao its ASAP Rocky not just ASAP and of course he always will
Sounds like he sample some h town street military or something
Pac Man Jones he sampled 2pac
Asap goes hard and i live in Houston 🚀
Sintayehu Crain yeah that’s true he even stated that in an interview
one day people will understand the greatness of this song
Stay trying to put people on 😭
this album is an instant classic
Muhammad Reyhan you trippin this shit ain’t even in the same league as live love or long live

artzie? u like this type of music!? YOOOOO
IF THIS ISN’T STUNNING; I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS
You’ve made 4 comments on this song. You must really like it
@Ronald McDonald Junior 🤡 thank you
This song heavily slept on this Old Rocky, needed this
2:48 I love this part when his voice goes high to normal and the music has this magical feeling. Plus his flow is so good
Always skipped this song when the album came out. Four years later I find out it's his most underrated music...
just the truth
No way you was lacking for 4 years 😭😭😭
bruh, this is the definition of what a perfect mixture between old school and new shit would sound like. Rocky did that!💜
This dope AF the beat has speechless
Malek Clay produced by Blood Orange aka Devonté Hynes
he also sings the hook on this track
FreeKwon I never heard him he’s dope
I love ASAP rocky man he's like no other in this generation
This is like a mix of old Rocky with some new Rocky, it's some amazing, wavy type shit 🌊🌊.
It took me 5 yrs to appreciate this gem. From how it begins to how it ends. Very motivating for me. Love that ending so much.
this sounds like LIVE.LOVE.A$AP Rocky, so fire
agreed
Ken Keller 😊
Barry Celtic thanks
Still one of my favorite Rocky tracks! This album is all around a creative experience, don’t understand all the hate it got back then when it released!
BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM
difference is i’m ghetto but i’m wholesome 🙏🏾
i keep revisiting this album it's so fucking good i could never understand the hate it got day 1
may even say his best album
It's like this song's sound is stuck in 2 Eras of Hip Hop, the 90s & the 10s but yet so futuristic sounding. So many elements in the sound
i'm grateful to be in a generation where these artists are still alive, pushing art out
Summer of 2018 can't do no wrong with this hit, just memories.
that summer had hits on hits on hits
Didnt like this album at first but had to revisit because it just didnt feel right that i quickly dismissed it as garbage.
Holy shit is this song good. So sorry for sleeping on this.
My EXACT sentiment.
When you just roll one up and just listen to this…gets you thinking
FLACKO WHERE U BEEN? 💯🔥
XXXPrettyboy thuggin with his team bro
Rocky, where you been? I been tryna make my ends meet
So I can cop that Bathing Ape or Jeremy Scott or 10 Deep
Good excuse for my absence like flacko where yo ass been
Sounds like he reconnected w/ Clams Casino. You gotta love it.
6th anniversary, damn it time flies tho
the more you listen to Testing the more you realise it’s so heavily slept on, his top 2
Facts
Always $trive And Prosper 🔥💯
Jose Rendon 🚧⚠️⚠️
Its been two years since this came out! I can't believe I didn't appreciate this track back in 2018 :(

i feel like this album has this darkness about it that i love so much :') i feel like i can relate to the vibe and i appreciate it a lot
At long last ASAP it’s way darker
ASAP for life 🔥
This needs a music video with Rocky walking down a foggy street late at night with some shots of abandoned buildings, the moon and grey skies, maybe with a greytone filter
Or maybe the same scenes but at sunset and with a sepia filter, so where it would be moonlight and mist it would be sunset and water instead 🔥
James Howell fr
couldn't agree more with you
that’s basic as fuck
needs something way more creative
I think it should havw a video say someone got shot and or something and as hes being rushed to hospital he has trippy visions of his past and that coz of the "from the craddle to the grave" sample

I’m from 143rd st were peso was filmed at.. History now I can’t afford to live there smh

fav song on the album (:

All year long bruh, stuck up in my zone all by my lonesome
Pay the role my dues, I brought my own funds

Difference is I'm ghetto but I'm wholesome

Why you always treat me like I owe some
Truthfully you only wanna hold some
Whip it like I've been a slave
Bucking from the twelve like I've been afraid
Motorola, burn out couple minutes saved
Kept a pre-paid, on my hip them days
Hundred forty third and from the menacing
Cam'ron had us wearing pink
From the cradle to the grave
Putting work, hustle 'round the corner where my mans'd stay
Couldn't work, open up shop now from the corner store
Make 'em rennovate, with the killer's stand
Fuck a lemonade, but they cook it by the Minute Maid
Couple niggas hate but the best form of flattery is
When you imi-, when you imitate, ayy
Tell me how it's gonna be
Tell me how it's gonna be
Tell me how it's gonna be (Ohh)
Tell me how it's gonna be
With my back against the wall
Nigga I'ma ball
Show you how to ball, got it with the squad
Never had a job, but I kept a broad
When I went in Saks, went and copped it all
My cougars had me lit
Kept a PYT
Your mama on my dick
(Prettier than a bitch)
And I'm overseas
And I had to ball, seein' overseas hoes
(Really litty lit)
We ain't counterfeit like we have face tats
How you name go when, where your hoes?
Why your chain don't spin?
Light them up, really like 'em all
Nigga like it all, nigga like it
Tell her "get like me"
Tell me how it's gonna be
(Get like me, tell me how it's gonna, how it's gonna be)
Tell me how it's gonna be
(Like me, tell me how it's gonna be)
(I'ma have a ball, I'ma cop it all, I'ma buy the store)
