Lets gather the evidence and we can discuss it and a***yze it fully.
Let’s start with the obvious, the use of the word “trill”.

In case you didn’t know, Trill is Houston slang for “too real”, Now Rocky is from New York. They have their own slang so why would he bite someone else if he has his own thing?

Now Big KRIT, a former collaborator of A$AP Rocky, has responded to the controversy taking down Rocky

What do you guys think?
Is A$AP Rocky taking from the south?

Is it 2011 again?

Cultural appropriation

why werent yall saying this in 2012

stfu b**** rocky goated. twitter is that way --->

Or we can just not discuss

“ Let’s start with the obvious, the use of the word trill”

Sxn….

RxK first time New York rappers had their own swag in like 15 years

Anybody know which interview Envy called Big Sant, “Big C***”?

also big krit has done nothing for the culture

/thread

cant name single album of his

sadly true

When was the last time Rocky even used “trill” after 2014

Sxn

Also Rocky has always said him and A$AP have been heavily influenced by throw back south music and how they even became cool on the music side

People were. But it was just as corny then as it is now, like Jay Z and UGK didn't collab and Pimp C wasn't against petty intra-cultural beef.

Being from the south, I see it as a form of flattery- especially since it's all flavors of hip hop- also this also old as s***.

Also if you really wanna go that deep you can say the concept of an MC was ripped from the East Coast anyway.

someone post @op avi & get this over with

OP you know damn well Mount Olympus was in response to Kendrick's Control verse. F*** outta here.

Man f*** you

we should turn this into a drake cultural appropriating houston thread instead lol so it gets locked and we can move on

Damn forgot how hard Mt. Olympus was

“Like one of these days I'm gonna be a rapper
But all my verses gonna be borrowed
So I'ma take from all these Southern artists
That mainstream never heard of
Recycle all of they lingo
And make sure I screw my words up
Bravo for your swagger-jackin'
I'm overwhelmed by your dedication
You actually fooled these people into thinkin'
That your music was innovative” sounds to me it was aimed at Rocky

It’s not even appropriation because he

• isn’t trying to credit himself with introducing that aesthetic
• is actually portraying that end of Houston culture accurately
• gives MUTUAL homage to major and legendary figures of Houston
• regularly and actively partakes in Houston culture by working with and propping up Houston artists
