Went to one of his shows, with Schoolboy Q, Danny Brown, & the rest of ASAP Mob.  Best concert I've been too, hes so real talking about how he loves whites and asians because black people dont buy tickets to go to his shows and "when we are at his concerts there is no race cause we all purple".  Dude is prolly my favorite rapper.

Listen to Bath Salts it was on the A$AP Mob mixtape, he has the last verse in the song and the dude goes offff.

and of course everyone loves Goldie, Wassup, Peso, Purple Swag <---- those songs got him famous

then we have Fucking Problem ft. Drake and 2 Chainzz which made him wayyy more mainstream

I prolly think my favorite is Pretty Flaco

Kendrick is the best thing to happen to rap in a while.

Section.80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City are fucking genius. ASAP is sick too, gotta love the guys passion for music and fashion.

Didn't like him much, watched his interview with nardwar and then downloaded his new CD and i'm into his shit now, some of it is meh but hes got some really good beats in most songs, lyrics are okay sometimes, sometimes they're awful.

Those beats are not his. He is closely linked to Clams who does almost half of asap's beats on any album, ask STEPT and all them they love his shit.........as do I and so should everyone else.

A couple photos of Rocky in RAF / Dior from PFW'13 isn't really saying he knows how to "dress" when he is getting styled.

Or maybe post some HBA photos since he got to walk for Matt William's HBA Line at NYFW this past month.

Yeah, Rocky speaks of Raf, Owens, etc. in his songs but he also grew up in Harlem and has links with the french Houses to get all of these costly pieces but find him at a show or on the reg and he's dressed basically like anyone else except with some $1200 dunks on or a $600 Givenchy crew.

I wouldn't say he "knows his shit about fashion" when he's pulling in this kind of money and others (designers, labels, clothing, etc.) are capitalizing on his newly recognized fame and work.

ASAP is dope. His beats are dope, and some of his lyrics have double meanings, and are thought-provoking. Plus, almost every song on Long.Live.Asap is amazing for skiing to. He (and a few other sources) got me into streetwear fashion. I could see how people may dislike him, but I personally love the PMF.

Yeah Kendrick is garbage? So you've heard swimming pools, money trees, poetic justice and maybe the recipe? Cool. If you don't think that the whole tde crew is pure fire then you don't appreciate good hip hop. Schoolboy q has a new CD coming out that will be solid as well. Go listen to the OD mixtape if you want some "real shit"

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but I felt that his second album wasn't really up to par.

The skrillex track felt really out of place for one thing, and it didn't feel like a cohesive album as much as the first album to me. Maybe I'm just overly critical because that first album is one of my favourites.

The screwed up houston/east coast blend was kind of lost too, way less sampling, way more keyboard beats on his new stuff. I really like that aesthetic, Leaf, Purple Swag, Houston Old Head are all phenomenal tracks.

his features are soooo ill. Rocky's one of my favorite rappers at the moment.

I really couldn't stand kendrick at first but now that i've given him a chance he's up there with the rest of my favorite rappers.
