All I have to say is whoever leaked the album is either a complete hater or a genius. ASAP Rocky's debut studio album Long.LiveASAP is officially supposed to release on January 15, 2013 so this is almost a month in advance. Rocky already has massive support from his fans and his fanbase is only growing. People are going to hear it and feel bad for spoiling such a real piece of work for his first efforts. Although I have a theory this version won't be final. The anticipated record featuring Lana Del Rey is missing as well as a supposed Pretty Flacko Remix featuring Gucci Mane, Waka Flaka and Pharrell. Either way the album Long Live ASAP is a good feel to start the new year. Like Game's Jesus Piece, I feel all the features included on the album worked perfectly with each record. Schoolboy Q adopts the ASAP lifestyle for his verse on the T-Minus produced PMW (All I Really Need). Honestly I don't want to spoil the suprises for those who would rather wait, so i will give you an extra quick review that will pretty much sum up my theory of being one of the hottest albums next year. Overdoz donates the DEST for PAIN, Santigold shows up in Hell, a Clams Casino production, Kendrick Lamar is not only featured on Fuckin Problems, but also the ultimate cypher called 1Train produced by Hit-Boy. Drake is actually credited by what seems to be his producer name C. Papi (Instagram: Champagnepapi)
My personal favorite at this time is Ghetto Symphony featuring young Gunplay, and ASAP FERGG as portrayed by Big Boi. Speaking of Big Boi, regardless of the month advance of the album, A$AP Rocky will manage to sell at least 250,000 first week. He about to do Drake numbers. Well, close to Drake numbers. The rest of the album is held strong by ASAP Rocky himself. He manages to hold attention from start to finish, which surprised me. Production is a fresh surprise, like the ultimate feature by dirty electro dj/producer Skrillex on Wild For The Night(Wait until that record hits the clubs...) crew member ASAP TY BEATS shows love on Suddenly. Lord Flacko aka Rocky co-produces several tracks himself. Danger Mouse shows you that an emo orchestra of sounds can be beautiful. Good music should be supported especially when a lot of hard work went into a project like Long.Live.ASAP.
