    Not so much his career, but sales? Definitely. It’s a good album.

  3. Lol says:

    “I say no. “

    OH GOD NOT ANOTHER ONE

    Elliott Wilson needs to get a life outside of the internet and make some friends

  6. Yourmom says:

    I’m a rocky fan… but the album is mediocre at best

  7. TA says:

    If anything this will help him music wise. I was impressed with the album and I’ve been a rocky fan since he first dropped LLA the mixtape. Obv the official release will sound a hell of a lot better production wise with everything mixed an mastered and what not so I don’t think it will hurt him at all. I’m still copping when it drops.

    I was fan of Rocky for a while now, now after this album he is one of my favorite artist out. Great Album

  12. Gambino says:

    is Elliott Wilson black or asian?

  13. Cali760 says:

    the album is way better than his debut mixtape.

  14. Dashing says:

    I hate when media outlets and blogs put it on blast than an album has leaked. Half the time we don’t know until you tell us and then you have an impact on the story, essentially promoting and illegally distributed copy of the album. Isn’t that the exact opposite of being a journalist?

    Pr giving an excuse for poor numbers.. Everybody gets leaked.. Why I ASAP any different. Only he strong survive.. Nice try..

  16. Che says:

    Pointless Vlogs, YN. HIpHopDx has the best editorials hands down. Not hating, but vlog about something a bit more important than this my friend.

  17. TA says:

    @BAG most albums leak 1-2 weeks early not a whole month and @dashing very true, a lot of people didn’t know it leaked but when rap/hip hop blogs post about it it def gets around.

  18. Devante says:

    Isn’t career a little overboard…
    But nah I don’t see how the leak hurts album sales.. Leaks drop an average of 2 weeks ahead and you still have people that buy the album

  19. gooo says:

    Hell have a good career..as far as touring and shit.. but 50-70k first week tops.. cuz he has a loyal fan base.. but no buzz what so ever right now. not even that record with 2chainz, kendrick & Drake on it.. its still like.. ehh..

  20. BUCK says:

    ^^ the single is sorta poppin right now, i mean its getting him more attention from casual fans now, cause before if you asked anyone who ASAP rocky is, you’d hear *CRICKETS*

    I AINT LISTEN TO THE LEAK NOR WILL I LISTEN TO THE ALBUM WHEN IT IS OFFICALLY RELEASED

    IDK EVEN KNOW WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS NIGGA
