i gotta say.... Rocky is open minded, he is polite, well mannered, has a good attitude, can write verses, can spit freestyle, has his own creative endeavors and is good looking. he's got a lot going for him.
I am absolutely shocked. This was a random rap youtube video, but the best fucking rhymes i've ever heard in my life. This shit is so pure, fucking awesome.
I always come back to listen to this. ASAP Rocky is one of the select few of rappers who actually FREESTYLE. Not memorized verses, not written. But off the top right then and there. That’s what it truly means to freestyle.
this is an ACTUAL freestyle.. no pre writtens.. 95 percent of rappers spit pre writtens as if they're freestyles. any one hating obviously doesnt know anything about how hard it is to spit off the top, improvising thing to make sense. then on top of it rocky used like a dozen different flows. you can definitely tell hes freestyling when he starts to warm up when the 2nd beat comes on. as soon as he hears the beat and recongizes it he gives him self a few seconds to improvise something on the spot by giving himself some time by coming up with a chorus ..then opens up rapping about the artist from which the beat is from. the name of the song of the second beat is Chunk Up The Deuce.
It's weird cause if you look at his more recent freestyles (snoop Dogg) or Sway in the Morning his freestyles are way worse. He was really in the zone here switching flows and rhymes
"Yo Westwood what you want me to rap about anything" "bout bein a rocky kid " BAM! "rocky kid, Rocky kid and you know I'm that cocky Kid" hella Rocky lol.
yea I was just listening to that part.. what level of intelligence you need to just let your creativity flow in one moment plus the beat is faya.. or the video was edited/trimmed not sure if Rocky just continued immediately "and you know I'm that cocky kid" lool
tbf, I only just got back into American Hip Hop when I saw this. I now think Logic, J Cole, Hopsin and Lamar are galaxies away from anyone on this planet.
Nobody realizes that A$AP isn't about bitches or money or violence. A$AP is about being different than the crowd. They may say shit thats questionable on the "real" aspect, but they're one of the most original movements rap musics ever seen. Thats real enough.
How could someone dislike this? Do they not like rap? This is just raw skill and his flow is so developed. There should only be appreciation for his art
IMO Last part is the best. I fucking love it when rappers ask for a sentence to someone and just spit out a entire fucking song. Rocky needs to keep this up this shit is dope
Oxygin there's plenty of rappers that go off top: KanYe West (Westwood freestyle is sick), KiD CuDi, Vic Mensa, Lupe, ect. I could go on but you know what i mean lol. there's a lot of 'em
atleast he actually freestyled unlike kendrick lamar and eminem. Kendrick obviously wrote it down and memorized it, eminem was questionable, it was so good that it had to be written down.
Im so glad there is such a thing of asap mob because with out them we wouldn't have real rap. People like him who can actually freestyl ofd of any kind of beat thank you for asap.
