His verses on tko remix and that movie soundtrack were some pretty good bars for rocky, I thought he was stepping his pen game up

Are you ever going to stop being salty about this?
I'm pretty damn comfortable in them. Pretty cool.
Yeah, that's what I'm going for. I am awful at science/math.
I only heard my brother playing that ASAP through his phone. Sounded like Rocky as usual. Probably slaps with headphones on or in a car.

I thought MMLP2 was ok, i never said he is that great now. I dont think he has been great for a while actually.
I'm talking about the 36 Mafia diss.
Rocky delivers his hooks and punchlines convincingly quality aside, Krit forces his hard and they fall pretty flat a lot of the time, especially if he's trying to sell something about pussy/paper/hype.
yadda yadda not what you say, how you say it yadda yadda
The flow is what makes it. The production has always been the star in Rocky songs, so I don't really give a shit about clever lines or whatever, he just needs to hold a flow on the beat (which he normally does)

Agreed but I don't think any of that ruined this particular song for me. The flow is so boring over what is a somewhat menacing beat. Rocky has so many song like this, I don't feel like this one sticks out at all. It's not bad, just meh.
I feel like Ferg would have killed this.

fair points, but i don't put weak under a microscope as well i guess, just sounds skippable/wasted on either end, with respect to varying levels of bad
There are literally thousands of rappers that could hold a flow on that beat.

So, are we saying he put Juicy J throughout his song and dissed 36 mafia? That's what we are implying correct? and not just some line rocky thought was clever? The whole song is filled with references to southern rappers
It was all a diss I believe.
Rocky should just continue to go all in on being cold, sociopath, and just ignorant. Not in like an offensive way but in like a cacophony type ignorance where you just don't care about what happens in the world around you. A rolling ball of self absorbance. Kinda like Chief Keef but with better rapping.
I would be down w/that.

Thanks for posting this, i was just about to.
Yall read too heavily into this one. It's A$AP Rocky brehs, just straight reference.
Suck a nigga dick no foreplay isn't homage.

Yeah that diss makes no sense since Juicy is on the track... Or it makes perfect sense and Juicy is aware of the diss and attacking his old members through Rocky? But that doesn't make any sense because they are on good terms.
Sounds pretty good. While Ferg just keeps his style as the more playful rapper that integrates witty wordplay and everything else Des wants. They'd complement each other well tbh

I'm late to this conversation, but I'm a history major (
) and I'd like to just wax irrelevant for a minute.
I'd always found history really interesting as a kid, mostly because it's an incredibly rich exercise in retaining as much trivial information as possible, which is really appealing to a sentient repository of knowledge with massive intellectual inferiorities (if I'm keeping shit 100, a large part of what sparked this was my dad introducing me to civ
). At first, I think the immediate appeal is your standard fare adolescent male fantasy shit: armies, empires, swords, kings, brown people, etc; and I don't think there's really much of a difference between, say a historical figure like Ghengis Khan or fucking Gandalf to a young kid with his/her nose in books. Point being, context for what history/historiography is doesn't set in until a certain point.
Truisms like "doomed to repeat it"/"learn from mistakes" are trite and reductive to conversation. The real reasons I'm drawn to the subject are the methods in which universal tropes in life make themselves evident through social constructions: religion/myth/culture/government/conflict. Stories that transcend time, era, and geographical location to reveal/relate to something that is wholly human. History's most important lessons aren't, imo, explanations of how we got to point B from point A; rather, they describe what humanity is in a way that is so much more immediate than what the arts/humanities/STEM fields can offer. That's why I'm in the field, why I find it so compelling, and why I'm presumably sacrificing a legitimate career for a lifetime spent in the crushing existentialism of modern academia.

Wonder if this adds to the rumours that Kanye doesn't fuck with Rocky.
New song is wow. Very different, and an evolution of his sound. Who would've thought that Rocky of all people would have made the transition from first album to second album smoother than Kendrick.
While were at it, GAF-Hop's turn on Rocky was arguably worse than Krizzle's.
mass hypebeast suicides in progress right now.
