Long Live A$AP

So, like Long Live A$AP is A$AP Rocky’s statement to the world that he has finally matured as an artist. Arguably, this is the most well-produced rap album. It features Clams Casino, who definitely adds magic to Rocky’s tracks. It features Santigold whose melodic voice dominates “Hell”. Skrillex makes an appearance in “Wild For The Night”.

But the dominant feature of the album is the cameo appearances by other rappers: Schoolboy Q, Drake, 2 Chains, Kendrick Lamar, and other rappers. The support from these rappers screams Rocky’s message that resonates throughout the album: I am here and I have made it. A$AP Rocky said it himself, “frickin’ Problem” shows his maturity as an artist.

Imagine a schizophrenic, ghastly environment that is beautiful and this captures the essence of Rocky’s music. Rocky definitely goes hard with his lyrics and is very explicit.

Overall, this is a great album.
