@@ayo4807 only 1/3 of the album... Palace, Demons, Leaf, Wassup and Bass. That's it. The rest was - 2 songs from Ty Beats (Peso + Purple Swag), Soufien3000 (Get Lit and Acid Drip), Keep it G (SGP), Kissin Pink, Trilla (Beautiful Lou), then Houston Old Head, Roll One Up,Out of the World and Brand New Guy were others. All of them did their thing on this tape but Clams was definitely the highlight. He had the most prod. after all.
clams dont get the appreciation he deserves....been listening to him since 2016 but when i found out about this song it just made me feel hes very underrated
Best combination ever!! ASAP and Clams Casino are made for each other - They are like ice cream and chocolate sauce... strawberry and cheesecake, man they just really fit together :P
It’s early summer 2014. I’m riding my bike home after drinking beers with the best friends I’ll ever have. They just made the turn to ride to their house. I’m all alone and listening to A$AP. Little do I know this is as good as my life will ever get.
best track on the album, Clams! When I first heard this song, I was grinning and headnodding so hard on the bus on my way to work (and the sun had just come up). Love the 'no hook' thing, too. It's weird on first listen but dope when you get into the atmosphere.
That beat still iconic A$AP Rocky goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on my channel explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
The original sample for the for the whole song is Foster the People - A Beginner’s Guide To Destroying The Moon and Clams Casino will be forever goated on all A$AP Rocky projects
Let me be the first comment to say that Clams Casino is a musical genius right now. Keep up the great work and keep producing great beats. Your fans love your work! You're god!
came here for inspiration, clams and asap had some type of sound going that i think we all didn't appreciate back in the early 2010's. this beat is timeless.
Ooooooooooooooooooaklaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyynd..... Love this track. The backing synths from Clams are so ethereal. Also love the short tripping doubtle-time beats....like at 0:42 to 0:44 or so.
Clamsap. Legendary duo. Rocky was supposed to be a legend, but for whatever reason, he switched up his style and became extravagantly narcissistic. I listen to LVL the most of all of Rocky's tracks, because for me this is the track that perfectly resembled Rocky's potential as a rapper. It shows hunger, emotion, pain, pleasure, etc. all in one track...of course, he has a lot of good songs in his early era, but they don't encompass much more than braggadocio on a quality Southern beat. You have a rapper like Lucki who is continuing cloud rap and is quite popular, but he's not a good rapper like Rocky was. Yet, he has like 3x the music Rocky has officially released. I don't understand it. So much potential squandered with Rocky and cloud rap. Why couldn't he make another 5 LVL's, or Leaf's? Instead, he'll make 5 Babushka Boi's. Just terrible. The worst part of all is, Rocky can never make up for it. He's done now, and he can't continue building his legacy. Even if he does release another album, it will fade just like Testing did, and if he's lucky there'll be the odd hit on it. With Schoolboy Q set to release next month, it looks like Rocky will probably end up being the only rapper of his class to never make a real comeback.
I've been thinking about the same, back when he felt like one of the giants, while nowadays he's more of on a back burner somewhere in vicinity. I guess the death of Yams really hit him to kinda go the other way. But I agree that the man has much more potential than he has so far realised, I guess we can only hope that he one day will.
@@shnorakalyutsun Unfortunately, I've moved past the belief for Rocky to realize his "potential" around 8 years ago. I just tend to reiterate this notion a lot, as no new rappers are coming around with revolutionary sounds and can actually rap well. I liked Lucki and old Carti's beat selection, but they can't rap at all. So as a result, most of their music for me is go in one ear, out the other. I feel like Carti's music isn't built to last, he's got some hot beats but a lot of his stuff will sink after a decade in terms of active listeners. When Rocky started to go into that high fashion stuff, his rap career crated. I'm aware the ASAP Mob have always been into fashion, and I believe they were mostly a streetwear collective that happened to have rappers. However, Rocky was technically the best rapper of the 2010s, he had the best musicality that's aged much better than any other 2011-13 debutant MC, and this is also reflected in the fact that - albeit a bit ludicrous since it's a remix, but the song "I Smoked Away My Brain" might be the biggest rap song of the early 2010s now, when at the time, that cloud rap music Rocky was making wasn't getting airplay. Instead, Drake was getting play with songs like Started from the Bottom, Pound Cake, I mean damn that NWTS album had 7 singles. Look today do people actually play Started from the Bottom? I see LVL talked about way more...and LVL was an unpromoted single on Long Live ASAP... It's no doubt in my mind Rocky had a revolutionary sound at this time, but unfortunately, he decided to put all his effort into fashion instead. This was an extreme mistake, because whilst I do think Rocky has had some influence on fashion, it's in no way a strong legacy compared to the cloud rap music he's made and could have been making. Fashion is a come and go business and things go out of style quickly so Rocky is always having to find new hot designs or fits to "stay relevant" when that isn't the case with cloud rap. Cloud rap is eternally timeless, that's why a beat from 2009 is still getting play 15 years later. Plus, fashion has nowhere near the reach of music. Music can reach hundreds of millions of people. Fashion? Only a few million. Unfortunately it's impossible for Rocky to go back to his peak days because his last album (Testing) was horrible, and completely unlike this early music he was making. None of his infrequent singles sound anything like his peak music and his leaks are also terrible too. To be honest, he's better off finding harddrives containing recordings of his old songs and release those on streaming because nobody wanna listen to his new shit.
