I feel 100% the same. I just can't like Evidence.

I've heard ASAP Rocky's debut described as the swag-rap generation's version of Game's Documentary due in large part to the production of Clams Casino, I know ASAP might not appeal to everyone, but Live Love Asap hasn't left my car for the past week.



I've also been listening to some Danny Brown; he has a manic flow and delivery not unlike ODB. Gotta love Black Milk too

Danny Brown is my man. Love pretty much everything he has done.

Listened to some more Kendrick Lamar yesterday and Elmatic by Elzhi. Highly enjoyable.

I got that Black and Brown tape before I heard XXX and almost discredited Danny. I hated Black and Brown. Well, it's just that I couldn't relate and nothing grabbed me on two listen throughs. I had to delete it. I seen you upping XXX so I figured I'd give D.B. one more shot (not to mention Aesop Rock really likes dude) and it was MUCH better, but still not something I can relate with or find myself enjoying.

Danny Brown is ok. I really liked him after I heard XXX for the first time, but then I started to realize as time went on that he's been flowing the same on EVERY SINGLE SONG HE HAS DONE SINCE THEN. Seriously, the exact same. He needs to switch it up hardcore if he wants to stay in the game. Also, he kinda lacks in the content department. I gave him a free pass for that as well after hearing this song:



In retrospect I think it's just cause it bangs so hard.

He definitely has some iffy lines on this one, and that's saying a lot considering it's one of his better songs.

"Ready to hit the studio and **** all on your mixtape,
No literally, **** all on your mixtape,
Wipe with the credit sleeve,
Stains on the gel case..."

"And your style's like fried chicken without the seasoning,
Nigga that's bland..."

I can understand criticism towards Danny's lyrical content, it isn't awful but it's not great either. I've always thought that if he employed more of a non sequitur style to his lyrics it would match his manic flow perfectly.

Any thoughts on the new ASAP?

DL link?

Enjoy

A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP-2011-MIXFIEND

Ahh, I thought you meant 2012 kind of new.

Listened to that a few times and really love the sound of it, even if ASAP is a pretty ****ty rapper.

Agreed. Rocky's rhymes are pretty generic swag-rap cliches but the beats mixed with his delivery make the album better on the whole.
