    No doubt. the one who made me realize that was a ny local just was young in 2011. More so what I’m getting at is how age affects the lens how certain artists are viewed

    He’s the last bastion of early 2010’s soho culture. From a music standpoint “Peso” and “Fashion Killa” is his entire legacy as well as some additional fringe elements, nothing from the last 5 years tho.

    Btw rappers saying “I had a horrible life and xyz and abc happened” is tragic, but doesn’t mean they have “content” or are actually good/thoughtful/deep

    He and Azealia Banks were the last to come out of that downtown music scene that merged rap and electronic music. I wanna say from 07-2012 it was cool. But then Santos, Webster Hall and all those hippy dippy spots closed, the electronic kids moved on to Brooklyn, and that was really it.

    Testing (Iykyk this was the best album that dropped in 2018 and has Rocky's biggest hit)
    All $MILES will also be a classic when it drops and will do 120k+ first week

    Say no to d****!

  • americana

    100k isn’t really that crazy for someone like rocky

    Also he isn’t nearly as present as a king of a city should be

    He isn't doing 100k whenever his next album drops.

    U right

    Maybe if you made this list back in 2013. He definitely isn't top 10 of his generation anymore. There are other names that easily replace his just based off remaining active and dropping good music.

    f***, yeah.

    I mean if were talking straight synergy I think the ASAP hype was able to genuinely last a bit longer during the 12-15 rap group and New York hip hop revival eras simultaneously. And to @ENSAHDESAH credit LPFJII did go off in niche places like Kinfolk 94, I just don't think that the song held up well or fits its identity as this artist-defining moment

    when asap dropped this I was convinced that rocky was about to make that art-rap evolution that would shoot him right into that big three discussion, but between Cozy Tapes 2, Testing, and relentlessly trying to brand himself as a legacy act - too many mistakes to recover from imo. Aesthetically and even musically Carti is what rocky was supposed to evolve into if we keeping it a buck, and I think Carti knows that

    Carti dosen't have an album as polarizing/influential as ALLA and will never have the hits Rocky has so this comment makes 0 sense
