I know... but its the best to drive too, party, chill etc. Like I said I love the beats... i could careless about the message in the song, I dont think its good at all.. its just something good to jam too
- Spangle - 12-19-2012
Long Live A$AP: 4/5
Goldie: 4.75/5
PMW (All I Really Need) (ft. Schoolboy Q): 3.25/5
-Fuck is this hook annoying. Good verses though.
LVL: 3.25/5
Hell (ft. Santigold): 4/5
Pain (ft. OverDoz): 2.75/5
Fuckin’ Problems (ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar): 4.5/5
Wild for the Night (ft. Skrillex): 2/5
-Let's not.
1 Train (ft. Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson & Big K.R.I.T.): 5/5
-Early contender for track of 2013.
Fashion Killa: 3.75/5
Phoenix: 4/5
-Not sure why all the hate from Kyle and JayTee, but I actually fuck with this one.
Suddenly: 2/5
Jodye (ft. Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame & Pharrell): 2.75/5
Ghetto Symphony (ft. Gunplay & A$AP Ferg): 3/5
-Not sure why you guys like this one...
Angels: 3.25/5
52.25/75 -> 3.48/5
While I disagree with Kyle and JayTee on a few individual tracks, I believe our feeling of the whole project is similar in that this one is simply disappointing. Hit-Boy should've just produced the whole thing. Ultimately, this is a bad debut from Rocky, who is capable of so much more.

Also, thus far for 2012, I've rated 45 albums and 16 mixtapes (21 once I'm done). These include most major releases (including albums from artists I don't like, but felt obliged to listen to due to their "stature" if you will) and albums that I just wanted to listen to. Thus, I've ranked my top releases for the year (for the record, ASAP Rocky's album will go on 2013's list) and once I'm done with the five mixtapes (assuming one of them drops this year, if it doesn't, then just four), I'll release the list here for you guys to see.

It was good. I didn't like it as much as you did, but it was pretty good. Top ten mixtape of the year for me and I'm definitely looking forward to his next project. Great production as well, but that was a given since it's The Alchemist.

Only guys who could have some stuff categorized as trap that I like are T.I. and Young Jeezy. Otherwise, it's utter crap.

Quote:Originally posted by Spangify@Dec 19 2012, 05:52 PMI agree with that^ I do like Three Six when it comes to the more legitimate Synth beat and drum machine Trap Music but T.I's old stuff and Jeezy are not bad
