Understanding the roots of the songs creation gives a greater appreciation for it as we discover Joe Fox is actually a British street performer who ASAP discovered walking the streets of London in the middle of the night. But what we’re actually hearing is ASAP and Joe Fox singing raw with no audio effects or auto tune. The most notable part of this song is the outro hook which sounds like an old school choir hymn. It’s as if the song is his own prayer and confession of guilt before he goes off to further taint his admittedly, corrupted soul for the rest of the album. It’s a beautifully sombre and clean way to start the album, which funnily enough takes a turn in many different lyrical escapades that are the opposite of clean.
The first track on the album central theme touches on ASAP’s approach his faith in god. He really looked like he wanted to create a dope album no matter who was on the track, and he was successful with that.Ī break down of the most notable and memorable tracks: Nevertheless it still doesn’t take away from his mysterious humility as he rewards the listener blessing us with contributions from the likes of M.I.A, Future, Juicy J, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Clams Casino and Mos Def. Not all of the songs fit this frame, but the majority do.ĪSAP doesn’t opt to put any of the featured artists in the song titles as if it humbly boast that he doesn’t need the superficiality of their identity and fame for his own gain, that he’s confident enough to sell with solely his own name.
However, this album is absolutely perfect to sit back and just clear your mind. Rocky’s not trying to appeal to everyone as his honesty is boasted through the drugs he takes and women he fucks. ASAP’s sophomore album is a relaxed, cloudy, psychedelic and soulful experience. It’s been 2 years since we last heard from ASAP Rocky and just as the world was starting to forget about him Rocky gives us 18 tracks with 18 reasons to not forget about him.
