A$AP Rocky’s got a fuckin’ problem. While on Power 106 in L.A. he said he was upset about securing the eighth seed on MTV’s Hottest MCs list. Below is a transcript of why he felt he deserved the number one spot.
All my videos are shitting on any hip-hop video out there, let’s be honest. The reason why everyone is wearing gold again is because of your boy. Everybody’s wearing diamonds. I’m the one that who made the John Lennon shades with the glasses—everybody wearing it now, you see what’s going on now. C’mon, who brought gold teeth back? Let’s be honest…Honestly, I brought it back in a dramatic way. I made braids hot. But, let’s get off trends. Let’s get off trends. How about that? I’m the first artist who grew enough balls to say, “I listen to Geto Boys, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs N Harmony, N.W.A. and Wu-Tang at the same damn time, what?!” And I’m influenced by all of them. What?!..But moving aside from the fact that I broke boundaries with not only that, but what either rapper is on the cover of Vogue? Forget trends, let’s get off trends. Lets back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody. [Raps] Ok, whatever. [Raps] Who brought that flow out? I don’t even use it no more. [Raps]Everybody rapping like that., now y’all not even going to notice that? Its frustrating when I’m number eight. Don’t put me at all.
Clearly, Rocky doesn’t lack confidence. With a platinum top 10 single, and number one debut, he deserves to make the cut. But breaking boundaries? Cut. It. Out. Diddy and Jay-Z both have Vogue covers. Gold will always shine—especially in the mouths of Southerners. As far as flows go, Z-Ro, Em, Busta, T.I., Ludacris, Bun B, Freddie Gibbs, Yelawolf and others utilize similar patterns. Remember folks, there’s nothing new under the sun. MTV’s list concludes this Thursday.

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.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
This list got everbody buggin 4real……..”Fuckin Ridiculous” – Kanye West
When it comes to trends. Him and Kanye are on another level. First is Kanye. Then A$AP Rocky. Like. No one even close to those two. Influence alone should have them higher than 7,8.
Ya’ll did that to this nigga. Piping niggaz when they don’t deserve it. New niggaz aint did shit yet but swear they gods. None of the trends he talkin bout he set went nowhere but off the rap video set. Just cause them faggot ass rap niggaz chose to put different shit in the forefront like skinny jeans, skateboarding, and skirts dont mean the hood followed suit. Niggaz been rockin gold, gold teeth, and braids. Mufuckas been rappin like Bone since Bone was out. Mufuckas been using double time flow since forever. That nigga don’t even do it fluidly. I rather hear Z-Ro flow with it.
A couple of rap niggaz that’s on bit the flow wave he was using so now he swear he trendsettin out here. Nigga please. He had to get 3 niggaz who had big buzzes already to feature on his first single just to get his shit to bubble. So how the fuck can he be the hottest. The nerve of these niggaz. I wish they’d just focus on making better music and shut the fuck up.
People did bite his flow. He got a point.
He Played Himself
Asap cool but as far as high fashion and gold kanye been rapping and dressing like that
Asap and Kanye played THEMSELVES!!! especially that Wayne comment from Ye….”FUCKIN RIDICULOUS”
Man who still listens to new hip hop hahaaha
gtfoh
“The only reason why anyone’s wearing gold again is cause of your boy.”
TRUTH. Rocky brought the oldschool, nigga-rich gold chains BACK.
@ Asap truth I agree with u
@That Guy
^
You mustve been born in the 90s
Kanye may be right with the wayje comment, when it comes to the MTV crowd, who hotter than Wayne. He’s still on everyone’s single and still making hits. No matter how bad the hip hop fans says his music is, those facts cannot be denied
Oh and for rocky. He hot right now, but he doing nothing nobody else isn’t doing. But cool to see all his influences in his music.
Basedgod birthed you nigga…shut your mouth
An actially tyga brought back fashion in a very popular way..idk where this nigha got tht from
Tyga is king gold chains niga
For once, I appreciate B.Dot’s two cents. He’s talking bout breaking boundaries with other peoples shit…. That makes no sense
Diddy n jay z …. That’s good company… Let him live, nothing wrong with being confident
So rocky u should be #1 because your brung bac gear ?? It’s called da hottest mcs in da game nigga I fucks wit ya music but u bugging
i bet he got his name from ti song
fuck outta here
He has a half a point about his influences….bc NO rapper give props to other shit besides the usual Jay, Nas, Big, Pac.
@BDot – you kinda prove his point by using the Jay & Puff as examples of HipHop artist that made it to men’s Vogue BUT those guys are cultural icons. WHO out of these new cats even gets that much acknowledgement from the fashionistas? And just because Theophilous London, Frank Ocean and whoever else stay at fashion shows don’t mean the brands are necessarily fkn with them.
Him and 2 Chainz did bring back the fashion style chains rappers wear todays…i.e. Versace, Chanel chains.
Even the double time rapping thing, he has a point.
Now with all that said, is he saying ANYTHING in his music? NO….BUT it’s somewhat enjoyable.
peace
waka FLOCKA PLIES been rockin’ gold tooth before this CLOWN. plus diddy and rozay came back wit dem gold chain gold rolly wit matching SHADES
^^^TRUE WORDS
THEY WANNA GIVE ME THE NIGGA PLEASE AWARD
Lets back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody.
^^
uhh.. Eminem? This asap guy thinks everyone just copies him. paranoid delusion
Wait he feels that he’s the best because he brought back a buch of trends that has been done before? C’mon son, if I was to start rapping with a tupac flow wearing big whites tees with a bucket cap would that make me an influence because I’m doing something no one does anymore?
ASAP and Joey Badass need to learn that the whole retro shit gets old fast. It’s all about what do you bring new to the table.
Next he gonna say he the only cat that can take Kanye’s shine. You not doing anything new man relax.
kendrick wil lbe 1, he owned 2012; Asap can be happy with 8.
A$AP! SHOULD BE HIGHER..BUT FUCK THIS LIST..ITS DETERMINED ON A STAFF’S PERSPECTIVE?? WHAT A JOKE…THE REAL RAPPERS SHOULDNT BE BUTT-HURT OVER THIS SHIT LIST..NO JEEZY?..NO 50?..NO WIZ?..2010′S LIST DIDNT INCLUDE EMINEM AND HE SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE SUMMER THAT YEAR! FUCK MTV!
IS A BIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH
B.Dot you are so ignorant.. of course he broke boundaries… why are you doubting that? Yes southerners wear gold, but hes talking about the gold grills, which he brought back 2 years ago with his purple swag video. Your ignorance regarding ASAP Rocky just costed you a fan
ASAPs music is trash. He maid braids hot… nobody give a fuck bout that bitch boi. nigguhs music is just a fad and hopefully it will blow over soon cuz that shit sucks.
SHUT THE FUCK UP B.DOT YOU GREASY ASS CUNT FACED MOTHERLESS FUCK
Braids? Pusha T?
Gold, Tyga?
Fashion, Kanye?
This nigga did set mad trends wasn’t nobody fuckin wit gold teeth again till this fool came out, tht shit had lost steam, now everybody back to givin Johnny dang bread to get molds, but he scised it, he didn’t even sound really upset about number 8 sounded kinda like forced emotion
*yawn* chill A$AP monky!!! Hahaha
His album was cool, but I don’t see nobody trying to dress, sound, or act like this nigga nowhere at all. Maybe some young Harlem dudes be on that, but I must’ve missed all that shit he talking about.
TBH, his whole style, from rapping to “fashion” is just a bunch of remixed shit from other regions & eras anyway, pump the brakes cousin…
about the double time shit Tech N9ne is that god of that and been doing that since the 90′s you wrong bout that but everything else you right iguess
Who is wearing gold teeth?
Kendrick is at the top right now so much better then this clown
Fuckin Problems -his biggest single-, features 2 Chainz, Drake and kendrick lamar, nobody outside his fanbase cares about this nigga, real talk, Kanye been rocking gold for the last 3-4 years, double time flow? he brought it back? dont think so….
hating on asap huh eh bruh b.dot na i think its cool asap was killing for a while, im not sure about his album but i know his tape made him cool
These new cats think the deserve it. All cuz he brings shit back..how about inventing ur own style instead of sumbody fathering ur shitt
@B. Dot lets be honest, you really are an A$AP hater
THIS NIGGA SAID HE BROUGHT GOLD BACK? MAN LETS NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE OLD HEADS. TYGA WAS WEARING GOLD CHAINS IN VIDEOS BACK IN ’09. KENDRICK’S ROLEY CHAIN HE USED TO CLEAN WOTB ALCOHOL IN THE SINK WAS A GOLD CHAIN. NOBODY KNEW WHAT THE FUCK AN ASAP ROCKY WAS. THIS NIGGA CAME IN THE GAME RAPPING ABOUT FOREIGN DESIGNERS AND SUDDENLY HE’S A FASHION EXPERT. GTFOH
CAN’T BELIEVE THESE NIGGAS ACTIN’ ALL AGGY OVER A MTV LIST!!!! THIS IS THE SAME MTV THAT DIDN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BLACK MUSIC AND HIP-HOP UNTIL THEY SAW IT MAKIN’ $$$$$!!!! THEIR LIST IS AS CREDIBLE AS YN’S TRUTH SEGMENTS AND B.DOT’S OPINIONS!!!!
……HA!!!! ASAP’S WORLD!!!! SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Thanks this reminds me I’m on E too, I have to stop at the station and gas myself up as well.
guy should be happy he was on the list even..
What the fuck does fashion have to do with rapping dope bars?
Fucking lame.
Only Kendrick deserved the #1 spot
