    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

    ALLA is his best album lyrically, I’m not denying that

    I’m just saying that’s never been his main draw as an artist

    Niggas wasn’t listening to Peso and Purple Swag and Goldie for the lyricism lmao

    I mean sorta but not to the extent some of y’all are saying

    The track Pharsyde on ALLA was up there with the coles and kendricks imo

    I kind of hate this?
    Stop snitching and stole ya flow the favourites, but I doubt they will be in rotation for long. Very disappointing

    I don't think he was that focused on like crazy lyrical rapping ability on here

    He was moreso focused on experimenting with sounds and like misdirection in songs and stuff to create a fun trippy experience. That's been his thing for almost a decade now so I kinda expected it and I feel like this is the best he has ever pulled it off

  • TheFader

    We talking about A$AP Rocky here man

    The guy was NEVER “lyrical”, 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

    I already said rocky has never really been a rapper rapper and ofc no one expecting some crazy technical skill but its just been a noticeable step down since ALLA. You're pretty much agreeing with me with this post lol

    If you were waiting for like a crazy lyrical rocky album for 8 years I can understand being a little disappointed

    But like I am not sure what material he has released the entire time that would have made you expect that

    I feel like the point is getting misconstrued

    I’m NOT. Saying Rocky was supposed to make this masterful rapping display on this album.

    To be clear my expectations were low and I expected the Memphis/Babushka/. Kevin Klash sound to be the main driver of the album.

  • Track 1-8 is such an immaculate run

    Sonically, that album bangs.

    One of my fav projects by him.

  • No Trespassing prod. by Takeadaytrip, not solo rocky as was speculated itt earlier

  • Just started listening

    Rocky was never that amazing lyrically

    He just is mad convincing on the mic

  • Listened half way but don’t think I’m in the mood for it. Gonna try again tomorrow

  • Helicopter sounds way harder after that opening track
