If you don't have the reading comprehension of a shortbus riding 4th grader, you'd be able to understand I'm citing him coming up during a time in NY where there was an indie boom as the reason why he's been incorporating indie rock/pop/electronic elements into his albums since his debut album...

Half of KTT wanted Rocky to stick to making the same music he made a decade ago; the other half wanted music that exists purely in the form of his deep cuts and one-off styles.

Yet here we are, with him making music for his lead single that actually makes sense, sounds good, and is resonating with people who don’t live in an echo chamber

Good for him

artists should make music they want fans don’t know jack s*** lol

As a dude who has listened to Sundress over 20 times, I actually f***s with this

Exactly, no one knows what they want anymore anyways

Half these mfs would complain if you fed them whatever slop they wanted

From what exactly? Some clams casino beats and a Skrillex collab? I love early Rocky but let's not act like he wasn't largely reheating h towns nachos lol

he put guitar on it

Like c'mon my nigga at least give me something like this if u gonna go punk rap

His work w Lana Del Rey, Santigold, Florence Welsh, Phantogram, HAIM, Imogen Heap, …

He was a massive Dirty Projectors, Beach House, and Vampire Weekend fan back then too

even with this “and tim burton” just kills me. like mf probably pulled out some 30 year old edward scissorhands drafts and phoned it in

Rocky doing this would not be appealing to me

What's hilarious is that Rocky has been sampling jazz songs, electronic, indie, punk, and rock artists from the US, UK, and AUS since Long.Live.ASAP and At.Long.Last.ASAP.

I'm genuinely not sure why y'all are confused by him experimenting with any of these sounds. Have y'all actually been listening/paying attention to these albums from him y'all claim to love from him?

bro just go listen to that artist

Nigga what

Posting bullshit itt because they thought Rocky making a pun on his name meant he’d be dropping a punk song

You can literally just go listen to Pink Siifu and shut the f*** up bruh lmao

Why the f*** do you think f***in ASAP Rocky of all artists would be making thrash punk type of music...?

Most the criticisms itt make literally no sense

At least that artist is pulling from bad brains, ho99o9, and other punk influences

They are failing the TEST and continuing to be DUMB.

PUNK rocky

Only 20?

I’ll never forget sandman dropping & the kinda iffy reception on here people saying he’s trying to pander with his old sound, artists need to have resolve to do what they feel cause these fans ain’t got s*** for you

ok?

lmao
