Nobody is complaining because he didn't have some huge co sign. This nikka had one song out and was getting praised as the second coming of christ in 2 days. I saw how Chief Keef bubbled. I saw how Shmurda bubbled. Hell I even saw how Drake bubbled. This dude came out of no where without any real organic movement outside none industry blogs. Hes a plant and it was obvious. I tell you what tho. When that Goldie shyt flopped, he sure as hell got the biggest co signs ever for fukking problems
Funny you say that b/c everytime he had a feature he got toasted and always had the worst verse. He's the epitome of mediocre.

You're backing down already?

Such copout language. You say some ridiculous shyt, I ask for receipts, then you say "well you won't like receipts anyway" :mjlol: Why wouldn't I? I'm the one that asked for them.

nikkas say "he jacked Houston wholesale" and every time I ask for examples, nikkas go mute. :mjlol: I wonder why that is



I agree that y'all birthed the shyt. But if all you see in Live.Love.ASAP is lean slowed down sound, then you didn't understand the tape. real talk. While I respect Houston's contribution to the sound of Live.Love.ASAP, and it's a great one, there's way more to the tape than Houston.
Not backing down at all but you not gonna find one exact album that sounds like that tape b/c Houston aint the only place he jacking shyt from like I said in the beginning, but you can hear the influence from the 200+ Screw tapes and albums already established. The closest albums I'll say is Big Moe-City Of Syrup, DJ-Screw-3 In The Morning, and it KeKe-Dont Mess With Texas. Like I said we're just gonna agree to disagree. I have no hate towards the guy I think he ok at best he just seems to have already burned himself out. I actually forgot about his most recent album.

Breh you were not with the wave, when Rocky released Live love that was pretty much perfect start to finish. That sound was so refreshing and his only trajectory seemed to be up from there.

Like he had absolutely MASSIVE potential but for some reason he really dumbed down his sound. I didnt even fukk with LVL like that for a long time because it felt like both clams and asap were not giving us the same shyt they were on Live love. Long Live was a solid follow up but nowhere near Live Love. fukkin Problems was a wack single and he hopped on more industry friendly beats.

If Rocky followed up with some heavy hitting Clams beats and brought the lyrical game up it would have been over



To imagine what could have been :mjcry:

can't blame A$AP for why Clams isn't interested in producing that much. Doing beats is a side hustle for him.

No.... that's not how it happened. Rocky's path is VERY different from Keef and Shmurda. Keef had Kanye's cosign. Shmurda had Jay-Z/Beys cosign and a gang of others. Their songs were being played in clubs.

Nobody was bumping Purple Swag in clubs. Peso here and there, but that was mostly AFTER Live.Love.ASAP had already dropped.

Besides, Keef and Shmurda are afterthoughts. You're still talking about Rocky 4 years later. And face it - he'll always be remembered for Live.Love.ASAP. He's done the one thing few rappers ever do - have a classic album.



it was highly organic in the sense that the people who wrote about Rocky really fukked with his music. Dude was a total nobody on the internet with great music.

Rocky's come up is the "Internet music democracy" we all say should happen and rarely does.



but Kendrick and J Cole arent? The guys you never knew existed till Dre and Jay-Z told you about them? :mjlol:

Here you are worried about Rocky being a plant while probably bumping two of the most cosign-dependent rappers of all time.

Uhh no. Keef had about 20 videos on youtube before don't like. I remember @FreshAIG was posting about Shmurda before that shyt took off. I remember Drake on random Wanye mixtapes in 08 and trying to get that awful trey songz song on 106. I remember Cole name buzzing with the warm up because all the Drake stans flocked to him after he went with CMR. Kendrick was buzzing with the EP and OD, long before the Dre co sign(and we all know Dre doesn't get behind anything without any incentive) You are proving my point. Nobody in real life was fukking with his music until these blogs started slurping him and the label put out the 2 mil deal news to generate buzz. Labels paid their blog contacts to hype him when he was a nobody.

puffy has produced and has been featured on countless classic songs and albums, rocky dosent have a classic anything in his catalogue.
Yea I agree with this. Puff cant rap and has said numerous times he isnt a rapper but he was responsible for bonified, undeniable, classics.
