I mentioned earlier that Rocky is simply checking boxes but by the second half it seems as though heвЂ™s forgotten what heвЂ™s already done, making the same statements with nothing more to add.Дespite the large amount of forgettable songs on the album, there are some highlights. The bad news is that there are far too many songs. The good news is that throughout the LP the instrumentals are largely high quality, and if you were paying attention to RockyвЂ™s flow rather than the actual lyrics it would make the album much more enjoyable. What isnвЂ™t skimped out on is the production and the number of tracks, which is good news and bad news. In the second song he states that вЂњyour favourite rappersвЂ™ corpses couldnвЂ™t measure my importanceвЂќ, but thereвЂ™s nothing to prove that on this record. Most songs are delivered at a surface level, as though he is checking off boxes in the rap guidebook. The topics in this record donвЂ™t really go past standard rap themes (anger at labels, humble beginnings, women, drugs, wealth, etc.) and fail to accomplish anything to differentiate himself from similar rappers. I know that youвЂ™re curious so IвЂ™ll just list them here: Iggy Azalea, Rihanna, and Rita Ora, about whom he is uncomfortably detailed.

The closest it gets to confirming they are even RockyвЂ™s own words are the descriptions of which celebrities heвЂ™s slept with. While it would be wrong to base the quality of the music purely on the level of which it goes into his personal life, the main criticism with this record is the overall lack of character in the lyrics and sound. The first being LSD, which actually has a song named after it (yes the S in the title is again a dollar sign) and the second being his friendвЂ™s death, who is featured on the cover, but only announced in the final verse: вЂњRest in peace YamsвЂќ This would give the impression that this is going to be a more personal work that would go into the details of his thoughts and emotions about the last year, however, only two of these themes are actually noticeable. In the midst of the promotion for the album there have been several key themes the press have focused on his increased use and promotion of LSD, the ending of his engagement, and the death of his friend A$AP Yams. The project marks Rocky transitioning away from his larger club songs, such as his most popular single вЂF**kinвЂ™ Problems вЂ, to a more chilled out style, and in some cases fully-fledged musical drug trips. A$AP is an admirable attempt at a sophomore album, however the direction that it hoped to go in ultimately fell short.

At long last asap alternate cover
