ALBUM REVIEW (RAP): A$AP ROCKY- LONG.LIVE.A$AP

A$AP WORLDWIDE/POLO GROUNDS/RCA/SONY ARTIST A$AP ROCKY DEBUTS HIS STUDIO ALBUM "LONG.LIVE.A$AP".  ROCKY WHOSE REAL NAME IS RAKIM MAYERS IS FROM HARLEM, NEW YORK AND THIS ALBUM IS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED.  THE ALBUM HAD MANY FEATURES AND NICE PRODUCTION.

ARTIST FEATURED ON THE ALBUM 
SCHOOLBOY Q, SANTIGOLD, OVERDOZ, DRAKE, 2 CHAINZ, KENDRICK LAMAR, JOEY BADA$$, YELAWOLF, DANNY BROWN, ACTION BRONSON, BIG KRIT, GUN PLAY, A$AP FERG, FLORENCE WELCH, GUCCI MANE, WAKA FLOCKA FLAME & PHARELL

PRODUCERS ON THE ALBUM
DANGER MOUSE, 40, SKRILLEX, JIM JONSIN, RICO LOVE, LORD FLACKO, EMILE HAYNIE, HIT-BOY, CLAMS CASINO, T-MINUS, A$AP TY, AMONG OTHER PRODUCERS.

TO MY SURPRISE THE ALBUM IS JAMMING.  I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M NOT SOLD ON A$AP ROCKY BUT ALL THE SINGLES HE HAS DROPPED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS I HAVE LIKED.  THIS ALBUM GIVES YOU HIM TO THE FULLEST THOUGH.  I FIRST GOT HIP TO A$AP ROCKY WHEN HE DROPPED "PURPLE SWAG" AND IT WAS A SLOW , BASS HEAVY SONG WITH A SLOWED DOWN HOOK I THOUGHT THE KID WAS FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS.  I WAS FAR OFF THOUGH NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS SOUND WOULD COME OUT OF NEW YORK BUT IT HAS.  
THE DELUXE VERSION OF THE ALBUM HAS 17 TRACKS.  EVEN THOUGH HE GETS A LITTLE REPETITIVE WITH THE SLOWED DOWN VOICE THROUGHOUT THE CD, I MUST SAY THE "MUST LISTEN" ARE "PMW (REALLY ALL I NEED)", "LVL", "WILD FOR THE NIGHT" & "1 TRAIN".  YOU MAY LIKE OTHERS BUT THESE ARE THE "MUST LISTEN".  "1 TRAIN" IS LIKE A CYPHER TRACK WITH ROCKY, JOEY BADA$$, YELAWOLF, KENDRICK LAMAR, DANNY BROWN, ACTION BRONSON & BIG KRIT RIPPING IT ONE BEHIND THE OTHER, GRAMBLING EVEN GOT A SHOUT OUT ON THE SONG.  IT SOUNDS LIKE A OLD WU-TANG TRACK.
WELL I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO COP THE ALBUM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF ON WHETHER OR NOT IT'S WORTH IT.  BUT I'M SAYING RIGHT NOW IT IS GOING TO BE TOP 10 ALBUM OF 2013.  A$AP ROCKY SET THE TONE FOR ALBUMS FOR THE YEAR SO ALL MAJOR ARTIST NEED TO BRING IT!
