Album Description
Available in:
Long. Live. ASAP (stylized as LONG.LIVE.A$AP) is the debut studio album by American rapper A$AP Rocky, It was released on January 15, 2013, by A$AP Worldwide, Polo Grounds Music, and RCA Records. The album's release was pushed back several times, including release dates of September 11 and October 31, 2012, the latter being the first anniversary of his 2011 mixtape Live. Love. ASAP.
The album features guest appearances from Schoolboy Q, Santigold, OverDoz, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Drake, Big K.R.I.T., Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Joey Badass, Gunplay, A$AP Ferg and Florence Welch. The album's production was handled by Hit-Boy, A$AP Ty Beats, Soufien3000, Clams Casino, Danger Mouse, Noah "40" Shebib, T-Minus, Skrillex and Emile Haynie, among other high-profile producers.
The album was promoted with two singles—"Goldie" and "Fuckin' Problems"—and Rocky's LONG.LIVE.A$AP national tour with rappers Schoolboy Q and Danny Brown.
User Album Review
Rakim Mayers aka A$AP Rocky has been hailed as a harbinger of a new era for hip hop, an avatar for a new aesthetic. When his Live.Love.A$AP mixtape appeared in late 2011, the narcotic lushness of Michael Volpe aka Clams Casino’s production and the narcissistic posturing of Rocky did indeed seem game-changing.
Well, if Long.Live.A$AP, his long-awaited – some might say dangerously delayed – debut album proper, represents a radical break with hip hop’s past, it’s mainly in the sonics not the lyrics.
The best tracks have the blurry, codeine-stunned sound that Volpe brought to bear on that mixtape. Surprisingly perhaps, only a couple of the tracks here – LVL and Hell – are Clams affairs, although some of the other producers do replicate his trademark touches.
An album-long team-up between A$AP and Clams might have resulted in the masterpiece that Long.Live.A$AP has been touted as (albeit mainly by A$AP himself). It might also have helped to temper, or at least provide a better, prettier context for, the rapper’s more atavistic tendencies.
PMW stands for “pussy money weed”, but somehow amid the aural fog Rocky’s declaration – “it’s all a n**** need” – is almost subverted.
Away from the billowing, softening effect of Clams’ slurry sound-bed, Rocky’s bluster is just that: a bog-standard litany of braggadocious assertions and announcements of conspicuous consumption.
There is a guilty thrill to be had from F***in’ Problems and the varyingly offensive explorations of the titular dilemma (too many women, too little time, that old chestnut) by Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar.
But the expectation was for a different agenda from this 23-year-old New Yorker with “extraordinary swag and a mouth full of gold” (as he states on Goldie).
You don’t get a sense of Rocky revelling in his own considerable talent. Instead, you get a hipster propped up by name producers – Danger Mouse, Skrillex (A$AP's languorous menace doesn't quite work with the latter's shrill sonics on Wild for the Night) – and guest artists from across a multiplicity of genres.
Florence, Santigold and the usually brilliant Danny Brown do little more than tick boxes, and ultimately Long.Live.A$AP fails to match its hype with a coherent trend-setting statement.
