    Love the styles and sounds he experimented with. Imagine if rocky was dedicated to music. He actually could've been a superstar

    I can’t lie to you I hate the transformers level product placement Rocky does with the brands he has deals with. maybe because it isn’t as clever as he normally does it. Mercedes bars, Raybans we get it

    The puma bar on helicopter was cool tho

    I mean I just see it as normal rapper braggadocio

    It's pretty cool to have a brand deal with Mercedes tbh

  • sfsorrow

    idk how i feel yet but i feel like testing was such a victim of bad rollout + context of his discog it was released in. it would be received so much better if released now tbh

    It literally came out the same day as Daytona + infrared
    And duppy freestyle was that Saturday.
    Amazing praise da lord went gold +

    If I had a brand deal with Mercedes I'd probably remind people about it just in daily conversation tbh

    2nd verse of helicopter a good example, bro was on auto pilot for it. Especially when you compare it to how good his first verse was

    Then you have lines like this throughout the album

    Been s***tin' on everything, wasn't even potty-trained

    And

    my b**** badder than my toddler

    And some of the lines just seem kinda elementary

    Like the 1st verse on the intro

    Remember how you act (Uh-uh)
    Talk behind my back (Uh-uh)
    Talk all kind of trash (Uh-uh)
    My back, all kind of stabs (Uh, uh)
    You was throwin' jabs (Uh-uh)
    You want me on my ass (Uh-uh)
    Down to my last (Uh-uh)
    S***, they'd probably laugh (Uh-uh)
    I can't go out sad (Uh-uh)
    I keep bouncin' back

    Its not like terrible or anything, just feels like a step down from at least ALLA

    We talking about A$AP Rocky here man

    The guy was NEVER ā€œlyricalā€, at least not to the extent you’re implying

    He’s had moments of great lyricism but that’s never been his bag

    His main draw as a rapper has ALWAYS been his charisma, flow, and delivery

    Saying a Rocky album doesn’t have crazy bars in 2026 is like… okay? That’s kinda always been the appeal

  • There was no reason for any flexing bars on STFU bro had to be spitting some radical s*** on there

    i mean unfortunately we waited this long for an album because rocky thinks he’s a superstar lol

  • I feel like I gotta quit the tradition of revisiting an artist’s discog in the days leading up to the new drop because it always ends up getting too nostalgic and kinda souring the new release like before this week I hadn’t heard TESTING since like 2023 and ALLA since 2021 or smth but now I’m comparing DBD to them like they’ve been my favorite albums of all time

    I like how the first half is pretty consistent then he just goes all over the place the second half

    Robbery production is crazy

    Moments, for sure, no doubt. But that’s never been his bag, not in the way that it is for guys like Drake, Kendrick, Cole, etc.

    He’s always been the flow & charisma guy

    Re listen to ALLA
    The bars were a lot more concentrated (not saying he was Black Thought) and he the flows were consistent

    Almost feels like he had Kanye syndrome of forgetting how to rap

    Oh yeah it's not his main appeal

    But he's fully capable of it and has done it before so I can see someone being a bit disappointed

    But tbh I don't agree anyway
