    Just like not everybody can be an entrepreneur, not everybody can be the super artsy "don't put me in a box" experimental guy. At least not to the point where it's unique and defining, which u can tell that's what Rocky wants. And that's okay. Calling it out also doesn't make someone close minded, a hater, or anti art/experimentation.

    this is just a layman’s idea of what experimentation actually is, all his albums involve him departing the sound of the previous one that in its self is pushing whatever boundaries you think you have

    Rocky been doing experimental s*** since his debut album and has been going down the "art-rap" path since his second album that's why I'm confused

  • ragedsycokiller

    This is not a rap song. So I'm wondering if he's dropping a full rap album or not tbh

    The 15 track, 2LP vinyl moves through genres the way you’d move through a city—Jazz, Hip-Hop, Metal, Indie, R&B—each track capturing a different block, mood, or moment. It’s Rocky in full range.

    Nah forreal I'm perplexed lmao

    Y'all are mad that the New York nigga that came up in the underground making music during New York's indie phase in the late 00s-early 10s...is also incorporating indie music into his rap songs...

    The nigga only been sampling indie electronic and rock songs since his Long.Live.ASAP

    It's like y'all forget that this nigga was heavily into Tumblr on his come up. Where tf do y'all think these inspirations been coming from?

    Yeah but rappers can’t make indie music because they have to stay in their own lane or else they sound totally stupid because I know real indie music and they don’t

    Yeah this always a problem

    I don’t think the song is bad, it’s just kinda generic

    When artists switch genres (especially rappers switching to rock) it’s painfully generic like 90% of the time. You can almost always tell they’re not that deep into that world

    and rocky shoots himself in the foot by being so on the nose about how he’s experimenting (literally calling an album testing) that it comes off performative and “look at me, i’m different”

    damn all that history and culture only for him to make some generic intro to indie 101 music. no one mad at rocky at switching up the sound, thing is his contemporaries in this genre already make better, more creative and interesting music

    Absolutely the name testing undermines the whole thing, aesthetic was dope too but you just can’t name it that, maybe if it were tongue and cheek, but it’s not at all lol
