Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot

Sellthe whole thaaaaaang from the cell phone raaaaaaaaaaang
DAMN! thats great for like you said an lp that leaked in what I thought was november. Nonetheless salute to the young nigga!
Congrats to him. The album was dope. Angels is my shit!
The gay community supported
Yep, the homosexual community will support with $$$$ if you’re willing to ride their wave and from the moment dude was out there rocking black nail polish the fix was already in.
Glad to see A$AP Rocky making sales. Should go platinum in no time. Let’s see if A$AP Ferg can live up to the hype with his debut mixtape.
I’m happy for em no doubt in my mind he woulda done at least 170 of it weren’t for that early leak album showed lots of versatility
Its crazy how far IMAGE will take you in the rap game….Leather SKIRT wearing ass nigga,Black nail polish having nigga.
Niggas wearing leather skirts and the hypebeasts say its “High fashion” LOL
100k the NEW GOLD.
Dope album.
I wonder how much better the sales would have been if it hadn’t leaked until after it was in stores…double? Because even double the sales wouldn’t be too impressive…if it wasn’t 2012 when selling 200K first week is a rare phenomenon.

Rocky put out a really… REALLY good album. start to finish. i feel bad saying i was expecting it to be good, but damn… the shit is really well done. Wild For The Night will be huge, and so will Fashion Killa… then Phoenix, 1Train for the posse cutters, it just has everything a nigga could ask for.
NY might finally have a young upstart to switch directions and breath life into that stagnant ass region. props to A$AP.
Happy this did decent numbers.
I bought the album & I’m satisfied with my purchase cuz its really dope.
Conrats to this nigg cusz it was looking bad after that leak…chuuch….
Good album, proud to see the new school doing numbers and accomplishing shit like that

Congrats to rocky. very impressive after the month early leak AND it was his first album with only one real single that people mess with and it doesnt even get much radio play. much respect to the art. ready for FERG up next.
*plays remy ma*
GREAT album from beginning to end. Really enjoyed it and Rocky made a permanent fan outta me. His sound is a breath of fresh air, especially his flow.
Wild for the Night is probably my favorite song on the album besides PMW and Phoenix. Shout out to Gunplay for Ghetto Symphony too. Glad the album did well and hopefully his next one will be great too.
And y’all get too caught up in the image. Are you going out on a date with dude or buying his music? Y’all mentioning everything except whether the album was good or not.
Wasn’t even thinkin of buyin the album but since i was in target i picked it up and i’m glad that i did.
Hope it hits GOLD
Congrats to dude, not a major fan of his work, but he comes off intelligently in his interviews.
Put his so called image aside, album is very solid. How often does that happen lately?
Ha my nigga went #1 wit no celebrity endorsement!!! My g should hit gold by sept.
not bad, well done yo
“Suddenly” is that shit though. “Back once again chilling in the back of the ‘Lac with a pass or the gin…” This album is dope. There are maybe 2 or 3 skippable joints, but overall it’s very solid. Glad to see NY back with some originality.
gtfoh
I’m glad the numbers are strong. It’s good for the business of rap music.
But IMO, the album was weak. It had some cool production and few highlights, but overall it had no substance nor replay value
@B.Dot
How the hell did you get this job? You dont know shit about good music.
Album is dope and has been on repeat nonstop
yeah, “Hell, “Pain”, “fashion killa” are REALLY thought provoking and entertaining.
good for him
Thank Drake ASAP
@B.Dot, those are the skippable tracks that I was talking about (although “Fashion Killa” might do well as a single). But besides those joints the album is pretty straight. “1 Train” “Suddenly” “Phoenix” “Long Live ASAP” “Ghetto Symphony” and the singles.
He’s not the deepest MC out there, but he doesn’t try to be (“Don’t view me as no conscious cat, this ain’t no conscious rap.”) At least his flow (or combination of flows) is different (albeit inspired by the south and midwest) and the beat selection is different. Aren’t you all getting tired of the same 4 producers and they’re imitators doing the same thing and rapper using the same tired flows?
I still refuse to respect rappers who make me lower my standards to listen to their shitty music.
@SaveHipHop
B.Dot got it right ASAP’s album was just ayite. It had some joints but I expected better. Glad he sold well and I hope album #2 is crafted better.
Faces of 2012 have done pretty well (KDot, Meek, ASAP, Macklemore etc) I wonder who the 2013 faces will be and how they will fare.
141,000 isnt alot when you take into consideration how many people listen hip hop, identify with the culture and claim to embody it..I know there was an album leak, but it’s possible that it sold that many copies primarily because there werent any other noteworthy hip hop releases when the album dropped.
Not hating, just an opinion.
@Dashing the sad shit is that the cornerstone of rap music (lyrical content) is now placed at a premium.
The songs u mentioned are just as weak. “Suddenly” is a feign attempt of being deep. And he completey gets outshined on “1 Train” and “Ghetto Symphony”. Hs style is that of a one trick pony.
To me, there aren’t any surprises nor songs worthy of a rewind. Not to draw any comparisons, but at least with Kendrick album, you walked away with some kind of understanding of who the artist is: i.e.: “Swimming Pools”, “Art Of Peer Presssure”
[...] via RR. [...]
I don’t give a fuck if I come across as a ‘hater’ with this, but i think ASAP Rocky is THE most average rapper i’ve ever heard to have a buzz like he does.
Without the productions and the faggity ass hipster image that people seem to be down with (WTF?!) then he wouldn’t be shit. Lyrically i genuinely think 2 Chainz is better than him and that’s not even a joke.
Can you really see him changing up his style to anything better than what it’s at?
Guna be the same shit constantly:
DRUGS, BITCHES, DRUGS, DRUGS, BITCHES and….
DRUGS.
Wayne & Wiz have played that style out for me.
Actually fuck it, when it comes to Ross, ASAP, 2 Chainz, Future, Waka, Chief Keef then i’m the biggest hater there is. IDGAF!
@B.Dot if you were gonna use Kendricks album in comparison at least choose a better song like “g.o.o.d kid” to compare rather than swimming pools, cmon man. Talking bout a rapper that mentions marijuana in his songs but doesn’t even use the substance.
^
What u talking about? “Swimming” pools touches on alcohol’s influence on his life and families
PMW is my shitttttt
Bdot tells the Truth
Asaps mistape felt more like what i thought he was gonna be and the album he tried to get to artsy ala something like andre 3stacks.. but they dont got the same smarts.. or asap doesnt have smarts like that.. That mixtape tho is the fucking shit. I overexpected for the album after that.. Still tho.. Angels is pretty dope.. Awesomely dope. And I came around to the title track even tho its the oldest on the CD.. BUt wheres that outkast at.. Andre needs to hop that big boi asap song.. and murder em both.. even tho big is still tops with 3k.. But I think asap tried to get the new age 3stacks sound.. and that just has to come natural.. when money aint shit.. no worries.. and you dont care about money.. thats when you can rap like that..
@B.Dot, agreed that he’s no Kendrick. He’s no lyricist in general, but I don’t think that’s what he’s trying to bring to the table. I don’t even think he was trying to be deep on “Suddenly.” Likewise with “1 Train” and “Fuckin Problems” I don’t think he’s trying to beast on the mic lyrcally or try to go toe-to-toe with his featured artists, I think he just swags it out and has fun over his tracks. He’s like an NY Wiz Khalifa. You listen to him more for the vibe than the lyrics. And he chooses original production that has a very distinct sound (PMW excluded) that separates his sound from a lot of other folks out…
Not everything from NY has to be deep or superlyrical.
I’m not saying it has to be deep or superlyical. I think that’s a point SO many people miss these days. But where’s the substance. It’s like you already know what you’re going to get before u even listen. It can’t always be about swag, weed, designer labels.
