stop dickeating rocky he stole his entire swag from sgp

Only Lucki of those you mentioned still makes cloud rap music & respectfully Lucki ain't a good rapper so he can't really keep this genre alive. Peep was never a real hip-hop act. Just a depressed goon who used cloudy beats and had a pop spin on them on occassion which gained him popularity.

Dawg cloud rap is already psychedelic rap

@@what-rf5kjLucki is better than Tupac

@@jameson1465 Pac is overrated but Lucki definitely isn't clear. Lucki has the most boring delivery of any rapper I've heard

Was hard to take the video seriously after that cLOUDDEAD comment.

@@whatburnsneverreturns the music is still fire but the sadboyz aesthetic era was nearly a decade ago brother

bro the production is heavenly

perfect album

Rocky wayyyy better too

Not really. Rocky dug his own grave 🤷‍♂ He wasn't as passionate about music as Travis was and was also tied to a group which was responsible for his fame and then he went back to the group for 2 years and abandoned his solo career. That's why Travis overtook him. Rocky USED to be the "Travis Scott" of the rap game, then after 2016 he generally decided he was more into fashion and only dropped 1 album in 8 years. Even in a 2012 interview, Rocky said his goal was "to be a fashion icon" not to be "the best rapper". That's why when Kendrick name dropped Rocky in the Control verse, Rocky didn't care because he isn't actually hungry about rapping and being the best, he just wants to be seen as a mysterious innovator / influencer that makes music sporadically. So no, Rocky is not "underrated" with his questionable work ethic, especially when his best work is his first mixtape that came out 10 years ago. That being said, Live Love ASAP is far better than Rodeo is. But Rocky completely abandoned the cloud rap sound that was all over that mixtape and made it unique. He went the generic mainstream route when promoting Long Live ASAP by doing that song with Skrillex and making Fuckin Problems a lead single for his album which is just a generic catchy club song. LVL was the only track on the album that was remotely similar to his mixtape work prior.

@@yunfun.8893 with underrated i meant an underrated lyricist, he's underappreciated, he should have take music so much seriously cause he's amazing at it. He's one of the better artist of this generation period, so much better than travis and others, he has everything, flow, versatility, lyrics, production and charisma. All that said now he has 30 mln listeners on spotify and that is pretty good, in my opinion he could have a come back with don't be dumb

@@since_leo Uhw...Rocky doesn't consistently rap with good lyricism. Many times he prefers to prioritise rap flow over lyricism and whilst that's a better stylistic choice as rhythm is more important than lyrics when making good music, Rocky has not often balanced the two together. It would be delusional to suggest that Rocky has displayed good lyricism on Testing. Tony Tone and Distorted Records for example are lazy lyrically. But I get it, that wasn't what Rocky was going for on the album. But casual listeners who are trying to get into Rocky's music will have to listen to an album to see what he's about and they will not be under the impression that Rocky is a good lyricist because the album isn't accessible to the majority of rap fans. It neither displays any sort of lyrical talent nor does it even showcase how good his rap flow is. Plus the beat selection is not actually impressive like it was with his earlier work. And even lyrically, Rocky has good wordplay but lacks quality rhymes. He also often incorporates redundant lists in his rap lyrics which can be quite repetitive to some listeners. As a lyricist, Rocky is DECENT at best. I watched a 2010 cypher of "female" Rocky freestyling and he was killing it but he's never lived up to his 2010 cypher in his commercial music. It's watered down compared to his freestyles back in the day. Even when he tried to freestyle in 2015 and all that it wasn't nearly as good as how he used to be back in the day. That being said, as a lyricist I do believe Rocky is one of the best of his era, only because the 2010s era is extremely weak lyrically. If Rocky was in the 90s he'd be a below average lyricist for sure because MCs were way better back then. As for the 30m monthly listeners he's only got that because of the Am I Dreaming song which he gained about 5 million listeners off of and a remix of his 2011 track Demons is trending on TikTok and Gen Z is not familar with ASAP Rocky due to a lack of recent material so he will get new listeners off that song trending alone and maybe the rest of the mixtape's streams will improve as well but this has no bearing on how successful his next album will be because I personally think he doesn't really want to actually drop music and is pretty much forced to make it.

@@yunfun.8893 man i don't have time to read all that, i'll just say that when he wants he ca be a very good lyricist; he's one of my goats.

also i am happy that Spotify uploaded Freindzone instrumentals under the album "Collection ii! . You will see an early A$AP Rocky tune 🙂

Ong bro. There so underrated

Bones too, idk how you gonna mention cloud rap without G59 and SESH .

@@dabs.47 true

Their whole discography has at least millions of streams

pierre bourne isnt cloud rap, he incorporates nostalgic sounds like some video game type sounds but his sound is trap

wtf lol what are you on hes not cloud rap

@@1997AZ no its not, getting off similar feelings from different genres doesn't mean they're the same, with cloud rap being rather slow, lo-fi and hazy sounding with samples sometimes like listen to ginseng strip

On squad

Im not gonna lie i feel the same way, but i don't know if i am proud now that i listen to bladee and peggy and shit

@@cuh8571 bladee is iffy but peggy is literally amazing do not be ashamed
