Why are some of y'all so jealous of ASAP Rocky?

[KeysT]

I'm apathetic to ASAP Rocky. That joint ASAP mob had with Meth though
But Rocky wasn't even on that.

Seriously though who thought that not continuing that trend was a good idea. Trillmatic was a classic track.

 

[BulletProof]

I don't really care who guys like and what's your opinion on the God Banks, Banks dropping music that's all I care about right now

Exactly besides all the Banks making good music bullshyt.

Asap Rocky owes a lot of his "out of nowhere" buzz to Clams Casino. He gets carried by production which is why he "disappeared"

Clams and ASAP Ty Beats were the reason he was successful.
And he really made this pseudo-trill movement, he had these White suburban girls in Timbs, grills and Supreme.
His rapping is average, I was hoping he would continue to grow lyrically like Joey Bada$$ (who started out way above most other rappers, at 16-17), but it hasn't happened.
Part of the hate toward him has to do with these chatty-patty rap-fans in their late-20s, 30s and 40s, who project their insecurities out by complaining about the way he dresses, instead of focusing on their own lives
There isn't an jealousy really?

i liked his early stuff but then he just disappeared so far up his ass, i think he took himself and his aesthetic too seriously

i've heard good things about ferg but the asap mob connection has made me resist listening to him

i think it all clicked for me when him when he was touring with danny brown and schoolboy q, during asap mob's set they had this whole war theme like they were soldiers or some shyt and i was like 'jesus christ this is cheesy as hell'

plus when he was handing the mic to people in the audience to give shoutouts and one girl grabbed it and said 'the n-word, we're gonna stop saying it rocky' and the crowd booed her and he told her to give him 'fukking mic back'

 

[SirBiatch]

He just took this dikkeatting or rocky to the next level, when nobody on this site really cares enough to hate on rocky. But he shytting on other artist and propping rocky as the goat of this generation so of course people are going to shyt on rocky for it

The bolded is the truth. Hence the jealousy. They're wondering: why you shytting on my favorite new rapper but bigging up Rocky?

I try to explain why but they don't wanna hear it.

This is the thing - I'm almost 31.The first time I heard Rocky's shyt... it was so fukking weird.
"Bass" had me like I found the loop really weird. As though it restarted too early just as the melody picked up.

but I couldn't stop listening to the muhfukka! Soon enough I came around to it and was like: "yo... this has to be the craziest rap beat I've heard since Madlib days." A beat that makes you rethink how hip hop beats work on a structural level. It had that off-kilter weirdo groove that still had rawness and beauty.

Clams Casino is a completely different vibe from anything we've heard in hip hop before. That dark, moody Enya/ambient shyt... no one's really played with that stuff. The Fugees had that one hit "ready or not", and I don't remember a single rap record after that with a super ethereal, new agey vibe. Maybe because Enya charged out the ass for samples, and people said "fukk all that." Till Clams/Lil B came along with their Imogen Heap samples, then Rocky. Even then.... Demons and Leaf is like that Fugees sound on reverberated steroids.

A lot of older cats I know don't have the time to process that shyt. It's too slow. And I don't blame them because hip hop used to be a lot faster. Add that to Rocky having passable rhymes and weird clothing, they go "ehh... skip."

It's why I big up Rocky and Lil B so much despite their flaws: They do stuff I've simply never heard in hip hop, and it's beautiful at times. Like out-of-this-world beautiful. And that's coming from someone who's heard a lot of hip hop.

I loved Rocky's first project, he has just fizzled out for me.
I like that he doesn't over saturate himself by releasing new music or a new mixtape every 2 months, but what he has put out has just been meh to me at best.
Just hope he brings it with his new album.

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

Rocky reminds me of wiz. Nice flow good beats. Nuthin too mind blowin

 

[Monster]

I used to like Rocky.


I'm ashamed

 

[Kufismack]

I don't know who is jealous of Rocky. If anything it's more like a "why do you listen to him?". Which I don't but that's pretty much the attitude when he's brought up when I hear him brought up.

He did wear a robe looking like a homo thug tho.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Now I see who pays you. Lame.

 

[Redwing80]

The mixtape is fukking crazy! undeniably brilliant in some aspects. It's a major reason why Rocky became huge overnight. There's stuff on there you've never heard before... and it's gorgeous.

People wanna hate and call me a stan, but the reality of the matter is that I'm objective. I've told these Lloyd Banks stans from time: I know Rocky's flaws. I know when he drops weak shyt. The moment I heard the album, I said: "this is fukking weak". As soon as he dropped "fukkin Problems" I thought he was done. I've dissed Rocky before. several times.

But sensitive nikkas are always looking for an angle to discredit realness. None of these Lloyd Banks stans will ever admit that Lloyd has dropped wack ass material, or that Lloyd has some flaws in his overall approach to music (just like Rocky). They're too busy on the dikk. Then they wanna call others 'stans'. I'm not in their boat at all.

Rocky has never dropped anything worth purchasing, cut the bullshyt out

Compared to Lloyd Banks he's ass. And I have his first album. How he from NY but he sound like he from Texas? It's a fact that ASAP Yams put his whole image and style together

Don't even start comparing him to a legend like Banks. His peers like Kendrick and J Cole have surpassed him to next levels. Get the fukk outta here

 

[HendriX]

breh threads like these make you look wack and i like you as a poster pause..nobody is jealous of rocky..some people just dont fukk with his style of music/rapping.

literally EVERY artist has that.
