ASAP Rocky Played Himself...

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]Here, what is good my fellow YouTube fam? It's your boy Aaron speaking and today I want to talk about that boy A$AP Rocky. Yes, this just came in the mail not too long ago. It's pretty dope. It's just the single Black DeMarco.

[00:00:13]You know, resembling if you know, you know, what game is this resembling, bro?

[00:00:17]You got 3 seconds.

[00:00:21]Crazy Taxi, yeah. Classic, bro. Love that game to death. So, out of all the, you know, singles that he dropped on CD, I felt like this was the dopest one.

[00:00:30]They're all pretty dope, honestly, but um and yeah, I think the song is pretty cool, too.

[00:00:35]But, the reason why I made this video, it's it's coming from a fan's perspective. So, understand where I'm coming from.

[00:00:42]Because personally, right? Like I don't know the dude. I don't know what he does every day.

[00:00:47]You know what I'm saying? Who am I to say he's not doing enough? Who am I to to to judge him and be like, bro, what are you doing? You should have did this.

[00:00:55]You should have did that.

[00:00:57]You feel me? I'm I don't know what he's going through every day. But, I will say this, bro.

[00:01:03]This might be a hot take or it might not be. It might not be. But, in terms of creating a universe, in terms of creating a world and an aesthetic, I think I think he accomplished that with this album. The whole Tim Burton thing was really cool. I I like the merch. I clearly got the vinyl. I got the CD.

[00:01:27]And, you know, the whole vibe of it and the music videos that he did drop, gas.

[00:01:33]I like the whole 3D thing when I don't know if you guys seen it, but if you watch it on your phone, like I think it's helicopter. I don't know I think it's all the the audio videos, if you move your phone, the whole thing is like 3D or whatever.

[00:01:45]That's pretty cool. But, I feel like he didn't really do enough, bro.

[00:01:52]He didn't really do enough for me. From a fan's perspective and what I mean by that is he kind of disappeared. He took his foot off the gas.

[00:02:02]Bro, you drop an album, right? You promote it for, I don't know, a week or two. You know, he did a bunch of press, did a lot of interviews, and he might have made a few, you know, posts, story posts, stuff like that, but it's kind of like what Tyler, the Creator, said a few years back, where he's like, "Bro, who cares how old your music is, or if you if you love your art, you should be promoting that [ __ ] to death for a long time. Don't just post that [ __ ] maybe once or twice, and then move on. Nah.

[00:02:36]This is something you've worked years, and Rocky's worked, bro, years to put this out. Years. We know it's been years, right? Probably made this album like four or five different times, scrapped this, scrapped that, went through legal issues, went through leaks, all that, right? It's been a little while since I've been in the league, a couple of trials, a couple of leaks, right? And you just you just pop into the scene, do your thing, ah ah, and then you just leave?

[00:03:06]He he damn near just disappeared for months. And I and I get it. His tour is, I believe, this month. So, you know, the traction will come back. I think that's kind of what he's waiting on. I'm sure he's probably working on the the performance, rehearsals, and what the set design is going to be. So, he's probably active in that aspect behind the scenes.

[00:03:29]But, bro, I don't know. You pop up at the Met Gala. You say you're going to drop disc two for the album, and it's like, "What's good?" Your alt Twitter was going off, or was it a month or two ago, responding to people.

[00:03:44]And it's just like, you take all these years, right? The hype was real. The hype died down. The hype came back, the hype Bro, you should still be You know how this world is a microwave society, bro?

[00:04:00]An album drops, and then the next week another album takes over. The next week another album takes over. You feel me?

[00:04:05]Don Toliver or or Yeat. Now it's Drake.

[00:04:09]It's like, fam, you got to keep promoting this [ __ ] Believe in your work, bro.

[00:04:14]Believe in your work. Keep posting that [ __ ] Be in people's faces like a freckle, bro. Always say this [ __ ] And I'm going to see Rocky at Governor's Ball, June 7th, right? I'mma show y'all.

[00:04:25]This came in the mail.

[00:04:27]I'm excited, bro.

[00:04:30]I'm excited. GA day three [ __ ] I'm there just for Rocky. A lot of people felt as if the album wasn't your best work.

[00:04:39]That's That's the biggest reason why I'm kind of making this video, cuz it's not like you dropped a [ __ ] To Pimp a Butterfly, and then you you know, you felt like, yo, that's my best work.

[00:04:50]I'mma lay back. I'mma let the music do the talking.

[00:04:53]But, the consensus is that the album is good, but not great. It's not a nine out of 10, but it's solid. This is a solid album.

[00:05:05]It's not his best work, but it's a solid project. And if And for you to drop this, and then I even like the you know, the four songs after.

[00:05:14]And it's just like for you to put this out, and you got to read the comments. I know they He sees the consensus and all the the reviews or whatever.

[00:05:23]People think the album is just okay, and you [ __ ] that. Drop more music videos, bro.

[00:05:28]Just do more pop-ups. Do more I don't know, bro.

[00:05:33]You know, the marketing was there for about a week or two. I seen a lot of graffiti in my hood. Don't be dumb. I seen a lot of posters that On that aspect, they did a good job. But, you know how this You know how the industry is, bro, and the fans. they're so fickle. They move on fast.

[00:05:50]You got to keep your foot on the gas, bro. And that's just me. Am I the only one feeling this way?

[00:05:56]I don't know.

[00:05:57]I really don't know. I don't know. For you to not drop a stop snitching music video, you're tweaking cuz that to me is like a top five song of the year.

[00:06:08]I'll check you guys in the next video, bro.

[00:06:11]Peace.

[00:06:13]Running town.
