We've all heard the phrase, "don't buy into the hype." But what happens when society moves so fast hype starts setting the trends? What happens when businesses are making potentially [...]

Easily the best beat this dude's jumped on since " Peso ," courtesy of @clammyclams . Taken from LiveLoveA$AP , out on Halloween: mp3 : ASAP Rocky :: Bass [via longliveasap ]
On Halloween, A$AP Rocky is set to drop his highly anticipated debut mixtape, LIVELOVEA$AP . What makes this even more significant, though, is that this is the first product of A$AP's deal with Sony/RCA's Polo Grounds Music, which landed the MC a $3 million advance. Or so he says. Anyway, "Grippin' Woodgrain" is going to be on that tape and it's a gritty, laid-back track that sets the mood for a potentially fruitful rap career. Stream the single and download it after the skip. Download: A$AP Rocky – "Grippin’ Woodgrain" f. [...]
"Niggas don't tell us we're the east coast Odd Future...'cause we're not." -ASAP Rocky ASAP Rocky recently sat down with the good folks over at All Hip-Hop and cleared the air on the whole Odd Future situation. Last month, OF member Hodgy took to Twitter and threw what seemed like a shot at ASAP Rocky and his crew by tweeting "ASAP Copy." Fellow OF and MellowHype member Left Brain also took issue [...]
You should know by now ASAP Rocky spends his free time letting his mind get lifted like Apollo 13 in a cloud of blunt fog. No biggie. He's young and [...]

If David's well-spoken sentiment on A$AP Rocky was the first time you really dug into Harlem's promising mic terror, here's some more homework. Put on a pedestal for more than just making a point, the versatile personality from Manhattan's most historically rich Hip-Hop community carries such a melting pot of styles, listening to just a single one of his songs can evoke hints of Paul Wall, Fresh-N-Bone or Big Sean. Not a bad combo, by any means, but the rub is clear. Either way, on the two latest leaks from [...]

Harlem has a new swag, wave and steez and its name is ASAP Rocky . The hardened youngster doesn't sport the traditional delivery or melodies old heads will be accustomed to coming from Uptown yet that's just part of the appeal of Lenox Ave's latest gangsta practitioner in Hip-Hop. While he falls in the long line of kids comfortable about championing their vices ( "Rolling blunts, rolling doobies up, smoking sectionnn" ), including the endless sea of malt liquor guzzled in his "Peso" video, Rocky has plenty of cocksure experience in his voice, evidence of him [...]
Fresh out of grammar rehab after my MJF intervention that took place today. I'm doing good, just going to G.A (Grammar Anonymous) meetings and trying to stick with the program. I'm happy that people here at MJF had fun with that. Back to the music. ASAP Rocky is gearing up to release his album LiveLoveA$AP at the end of this month. With two very cool tracks under his belt already, he has me very excited to hear the final project. " Purple Swag " had me searching the interwebs for ASAP Rocky music and [...]

ASAP Rocky - Peso (Prod By Ty Radio) While I know " Purple Swag " was hit to you bad food eaters, this should hold you over until he drops his album LiveLoveA$AP in August. I cannot wait to hear this album. His latest mixtape, Deep Purple , was more swagged out than Lil B winning an award for his lyrical ability. He even remixes a " Bittersweat Symphony " beat on it. This new track has the same beat from "Purple Swag" that starts at 1:30 . It is a [...]
