He’s got to. It’s lyrically his most substantive album as well along with testing. So much growth on those two albums lyrically and overall creatively as well.
Bob please listen to “Testing” I feel like many people were thrown off with the direction he took on that album but I loved almost every song on that project.
Bob I completely hear you on boring lyrics (and I’m only 24 minutes into the vid) but one of my favorite things about hip hop is that two artists can say the same thing but the sound determines how I experience it. This is definitely one of those albums where I expect you to like it more when you’re not reading lyrics. It’s all vibes
Exactly Rocky just got this swagger about him that makes his music more enjoyable it wouldn’t work if he’s giving you some super lyrical shit with his production style that being said he’s got bars and flows so well
@@YoungMulaBaby808 personally idk why but rocky just hasnt clicked for me. he has lots of things that i would love but it just doesnt work out idk why. lyrically he seems pretty average or a bit above but nothing special. what songs do you recommend for me to get into rocky?
@@justinmacdonald6289 if you want to see a more lyrical side to him At Long Last Asap is your best bet. Jukebox Joints and Canal St I would recommend. Also listen to his debut mixtape to see if you like the cloud rap sound. Peso, Trilla Houston Old head are the standouts for me
Bob I think there a few things you’re failing to consider with regards to the hit song PMW (all I really need). Here Rakim Mayers breaks down our modern society into three simple categories. As humans, our purpose of life is to procreate. Here, as soon as possible Rocky highlights his desire for the female genitalia, listing it as his number 1 priority. Following this, we are reminded of the system of capitalism that we are oppressed by. In order for us to survive we must have the means to obtain food and shelter. Under capitalism, we trade our labour for money for which we can afford the necessities and even luxuries once you reach the level of wealth. However , the darker side of this capitalist system is referenced with the final of our trio of human requirements, weed. As a smoker myself, I resonate with this, but I think generally speaking Rocky refers to the vices that get us through the dark society in which we live. It’s a beautiful commentary, calling back to Maslows heirarchy of needs in which self actualisation is only obtainable after all other needs are met. Asap Rocky offers his own interpretation which we can all relate to.
It’s a bit naive of him to dismiss those lyrics just because they can come across as basic and ‘heard this one before’ Rocky’s from an environment where that mindset is the norm and he’s rapping from that perspective, plus it’s hard to argue against those 3 things they’re all pretty dope
i think you have to feel and think about the song to really get it, bob kinda dismissed it for whatever lyrical essence rakim may have been attempting to convey 💀
I think Clams Casino as a producer is someone to look into. His solo work is probably not worthy of or suitable for a video reaction, but I think the genre of Cloud Rap would seriously not have been what it was without him. It is such a unique sound that is instantly recognizable on any track.
Bob, I really advise you to listen to "At.Long.Last.A$ap" You will be surprised it's cool that you started to go trough his discography in chronological order so you can see his growth as an artist
I can definetly see not liking the lyrics because you can't connect to them, but that's almost what I like with Rocky. With some rappers, the appeal is the relatability, but with Rocky I find that he lives such a different life than me that listening to his music is almost like watching a movie. I mean it goes with his entire brand too, like wearing extremely expensive clothes, marrying Rihanna, crazy music vides, etc. He portrays his life to be so luxerious that it creates an environment that shouldn't be taken too seriously, it's more of a feeling. I find myself loving the production, and just laughing at the lyrics, imagining that Rocky's laid-back personality doesn't intend for the lyrics to be too serious
“Sweat like Keith” Line is simply a flip on the name of R&B singer Keith Sweat. Not anything crazy or complex but if you scroll past the video in the line description on Genius they will sometimes give a written annotation.
1:29:20 Regarding your criticisms of the lyrics i do understand its not exactly "deep/conscious" content, as even rocky acknowledges, but i do think you dismiss the specifity of rockys lyrics quite a bit. Eg; rocky talking about slightly alternative, usually white dominated, high fashion brands (eg; rick owens), especially when mixed with more typical nyc street talk, was very unique at the time and paved the way for alot of modern artists. Basically theres alot of regional and cultural specificty to his "clothes, money, women" talk which i feel you dismiss/dont pick up on.
I used to feel similarly about Rocky where I loved his production and choruses but he wasn’t interesting to me as a person or artist but recently his lyrical style has grown on me. Part of it is me just accepting that’s who he is but also I kinda hear the words differently , hard to explain I’m not exactly seeing a deeper message if there is one but I just see the art of it somehow even though I initially thought of him as surface level.
Regarding your question about why would Rocky say that he's against conscious rap; I wouldn't take that line literally, I think that the sentiment behind that line is 1) trying to be cool as some young people don't think that thought-provoking themes are entertaining 2) refusing to ce categorized - you gotta understand that A$AP Rocky's sound was completely unprecedented in hip-hop history - he combined local sounds from Memphis, Texas and New York while also mixing the classic 90s boom bap, Southern rap and chop'n'screw with contemporary synth-heavy psychedelic cloud rap and pop appeal. All of that put him in a completely unique position and that's why I think he was so afraid of being put in any box. Rocky himself evolves into much more of a conscious rapper later in his career, especially regarding themes of religion, authenticity and mass incareceration. I think it's safe to say you're not a huge fan of this album after your first listen, but I'm glad you liked the last two tracks of the normal edition, Phoenix and Suddenly, cause they indicate the direction that he goes in on his next album - AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP. You will probably enjoy that one more as it is way more lyrically diverse and has a less dated sound than this album. I personally enjoy both but his next record is definitely my favourite from his catalogue and is often considered to be his masterpiece.
i understand your sentiment with the lyrics bob. rocky was young at this time and this album is 12 years old by now. I hope you listen to his album Testing eventually I enjoy it a lot more you can see the growth while he still talks about drugs and flexes its less and he raps about a different stage of life that he is in while experiments more with his sound. Rocky lived a lot of the stuff he talks about so this is his way of expressing himself at this time. As he grows he music grows too. love the vids bob
lowkey need a spaceghostpurrp reaction. i would put him in the top 5 most notable underground hiphop artists of the 2010s. purrp, along with lil b were also some of the biggest influences for rockys sound on these earlier tapes.
THANK YOU BOB! just last night i was thinking about commenting on your next video to ask you to do more rocky, imo these first two projects just build up to his third "AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP" which is amazing, hope you enjoy and keep listening to rocky
I think this was the first time you might’ve heard Big KRIT on a song, but PLEASE i am begging you please check out 4eva is a mighty long time, and as I’m typing this you mentioned that it’s been requested a lot, and for good reasons!!
Bob you gotta check out Te$ting, there are many songs on that album that don't have the gangster rap lyrics that you aren't a fan of. Even though testing has some of his lowest lows on that album it also in my opinion has his highest highs, The sound of it is also like none of his other albums.
One quick thing I'd like to add about the lyrics--- For context if you really break down the lyrics paired with the unconventional aesthetic it's intentional. This is very much his coming of age project. Ready to make his mark on the world and the game and he's letting us and everyone know it's not a game. While sharing a bit of his upbringing and culture. I'm going to do it. I'd say the best comparison is Travis Scott and Days Before Rodeo. Both projects release '13/'14 respectively.
Also considering the album cover features a B/W, static, and glitch edit also intentional with the sound they were creating. And back in 2013 this was definitely different idk even know what project you'd really captures this especially before.
I 100% agree with you on the cliché repetitive hip hop tropes. But at the same time. Women money and intoxication is the focus of a lot of young adults, not just in the inner city or in hip hop. It’s a common shared interest that definitely kinda goes away the older you get.
Pmw might be my favorite track off of this album. It sounds like the dopest dream ever Edit: nvm lvl is my favorite track on here. Yeah this album is definitely more of an audio experience and it is a heavenly one at that
I forget some people have never heard Goldie! which is silly of me, but a part of the reason why I love these channels lol. Never realised how wild it must be on first listen
I ironically think the albums you have heard from ASAP are his worst. And that's not me saying they are bad, but I can see it being liked WAY more by people who were listening when it first came out. Like Odd Future, it was a whole era and more than the music. I think you will love TESTING, and At Long Last ASAP is probably his best, most complete album. I think you will more enjoy the production styles on those two albums. These sound dated in comparison. Again, that isn't me not liking it, I am more than obsessed with all of his albums. But as a new listener, I can see his first two albums being his weakest, which I guess would make sense. TESTING is my favorite album, but that's not a popular opinion, but At Long Last ASAP has to be his most commercially successful, and I totally understand why. It is for sure his most consistent. So I can't wait until you hear those!
FINALLY!! This is my second fav album of all time. and asap rocky is my fav rapper. hope he delivers with his new album! Great reaction btw, this is by far my fav reaction chanel out there
Honestly his early stuff is super known for his flows and beat selection it isn’t until the next one where his lyrics shine but a lot of people like the earlier stuff for the ignorance
Damn, I was hoping to hear your thoughts on Action Bronson's verse on 1 Train since he rarely gets talked about or recommended for reactions. Even though he's fairly popular
There are a couple of references to shimmy shimmy ya on this album. That's a Ol Dirty Bastard track from his crazy and excellent solo album. That would be a cool review!
Feels weird for me to watch a video youve just released! I stumbled across your channel about 6 weeks ago when listening to TLOP4 deluxe thinking i wonder if anyones done a reaction to this album. Listened to your tlop4 reaction and was thoroughly entertained by your insight. Spent the last 6 weeks listening to all the album reviews youve posted over the last few years and ive finally caught up! Anyway just want to ask you to tackle TLOP4 deluxe please bob. Pierre is releasing soon so would be good to get back into the greatest mixtape of all time. Or at least TLOP5?
Based on your thoughts on rockys first 2 albums, im pretty certain that you would like the third album "at long last asap" the most. Waiting for you to react to that
If you liked Big KRITs verse on 1train then “4eva is a Mighty Long Time” by Big KRIT is a great album to listen to. In my opinion, it was the only rap album to compete with Kendrick’s DAMN in 2017. Only thing is it’s a 2 disc album.
Honestly I think you'd love At Long Last Asap, rocky sound just keeps improving during time and the lyrics too. "Testing" in my opinion is a great album too, very diffrent from everything that was coming out at that time
Rocky is all about the vibe and feeling Good to me. You Just feel good When you listen to Rocky. Than there Are songs like “LSD” or “Lvl” and you Just listen and feel it
Bro, you do exactly what hip-hop heads do. A lot of people will blame your dislike of some stuff on being "new" to the genre (you've probably listened to more than half of life long rap fans lol). But honestly, you have a GREAT approach to your commentary and you really judge the music for what it is. Keep this shit up.
The thing that I love about Rocky is obviously he’s the master at creating an atmosphere within his music, he was so influential with the whole cloud rap movement to the point where multiple artists stole his style and ran with it. But his confidence and style that bleeds into the music is so infectious, I would argue lyrically he’s pretty solid compared to most artists in his field
bro. I have been waiting for you to fucking react to this fucking album SINCE YOUR CHANNEL STARTED. oh my god you don’t know how many videos i’ve commented on for you to do this
Bob: "I get a little bored with the same lyrics about having girls, getting cash and doing drugs."
The next song: PUSSY MONEY WEED
🤣🤣
LMFAOO
I’m so happy you’re finally listening to more Rocky, we NEED the At Long Last A$AP reaction next
We need Bob to hear L$D!
Testing reaction would also be cool
I feel like that album will really click for him, along with Testing
ALLA is the best
He’s got to. It’s lyrically his most substantive album as well along with testing. So much growth on those two albums lyrically and overall creatively as well.
"It's just all fashion references"... the song is called "Fashion Killa" lmaooooo cmon Bob you gotta cut him some slack 😂
I think when he said he guessed it's all fashion references, he was referring to the name
1:17:09 Bob has a TALENT for stopping right before the beat drops in
Beat drops are just easy to predict let’s be honest
that broke my heart 🤣
Ayooo fr one of the greatest beat drops of all time and he paused it… I came straight to the comments after that one smh
absolutely crashed the climax of the album
legit sucked, he didn't even rewind it 10 seconds first
Him having Rihanna in the fashion killa music video years before they got together is still so crazy too me
"Our babies would be flyer than their parents"
bro they was fuckin back then
Man called his shot and greened it lol
Bob please listen to “Testing” I feel like many people were thrown off with the direction he took on that album but I loved almost every song on that project.
ykb
He gotta do long last asap first tho
Testing is my personal favorite of his but I feel like he’s gotta hear ALLA first
Buckshots and hun43rd are super underrated rocky songs
Purity is a vibe !!! Tony Tone ! Kids turned out fine 😭😭🔥🔥🔥 so many bangers on it
Bob I completely hear you on boring lyrics (and I’m only 24 minutes into the vid) but one of my favorite things about hip hop is that two artists can say the same thing but the sound determines how I experience it.

Top 10 album of the 2010’s decade easily.
Nobody else notice he completely skipped Bronsons verse? I wanted to see his reaction to it
Bro all of the verses are crazy good but I actually think he had the best. It's amazing
i absolutely adore ur videos, my comfort channel!!

Big KRIT killed that 1train track
Just a little reminder Bob lol
I think this was the first time you might’ve heard Big KRIT on a song, but PLEASE i am begging you please check out 4eva is a mighty long time, and as I’m typing this you mentioned that it’s been requested a lot, and for good reasons!!

"You my brother, you my kin, f the color of your skin" love that lyric

Suddenly made me go wow Asap can rap with a lot more substance if he wanted too
Same thing when I heard "holy ghost"
Wild for the night will forever be a banger
was waiting on this one bob, one of my all time favorites the sound was so different for that time.

1:09:24 danger mouse has a collab album with DOOM! thats probably where you heard it from
he's also probably familiar with cheat codes since people were requesting it non-stop when it dropped lol

The thing that I love about Rocky is obviously he’s the master at creating an atmosphere within his music, he was so influential with the whole cloud rap movement to the point where multiple artists stole his style and ran with it. But his confidence and style that bleeds into the music is so infectious, I would argue lyrically he’s pretty solid compared to most artists in his field
definitely listen to At Long Last ASAP, i think that would be your favorite Rocky album, also not liking fashion killa is criminal...
VERY EXCITED FOR THIS REACTION!!
Pmw is probably one of my all time favorite songs never gets old and brings good memories
I been listening to this album for a decade and i never went to the lyrics even once.
The powers that b pleaaaaaase bob pleaaaaaaaaase
bro. I have been waiting for you to fucking react to this fucking album SINCE YOUR CHANNEL STARTED. oh my god you don’t know how many videos i’ve commented on for you to do this
ALLA is his best album
Probably the most under appreciated artist of his generation
