long live a$ap review

<p style="text-align: center">long live a$ap by travis scott's twin</p><p style="text-align: center">7/10</p><p style="text-align: center">favorite tracks (not in any order): goldie, pmw, lvl, suddenly, 1train, ghetto symphony</p><p style="text-align: center">worst track: pain</p><p style="text-align: center">btw i'm doing the deluxe version. When it originally came out, i would have thought it was close to an 7.5/10. the deluxe features four additional tracks not included on the original version: joyde, ghetto symphony, angels, and i come apart. Although i like ghetto symphony, the three other songs does knock it down a bit.</p><p>This album released right in the middle of my junior year and I remember how everyone was bumpin Goldie everyday. Crazy how this guy was able to unite the post dubstep EDM sound with trap and alternative rock. I find it a little more replayable than live love or long last, way more than testing💀.</p><p>First and foremost: yes, this guy is carried by the production, which is great on this record. I'd like to point out that although he doesn't do a bad job with his writing, lyricism, and flows, at best he is decent. One strong suit is his flows though, so he does have a saving grace for a lot of the songs on here. Throughout his discography, he constantly stays faithful to harlem sound, and i applaud that. He's a big rapper, and the fact that he doesn't go out of his way to immerse himself into different sounds away from his home city's culture is respectable.</p><p>There isn't exactly a terrible track on this album, moreover what Rocky says on certain songs is what makes a small part of the experience a little overbearing.</p><p>Most features here are noteworthy, none don't exactly ruin any of the songs. Speaking of features, if you ever want to know who had the best verse on 1train, big k.r.i.t, no debate.</p><p>lvl ages like fine wine to me. Never heard a song produced like it, and clams casino went hard af on production. Rocky also had some amazing lines on it too, probably if not the best song on here.</p><p>There's only like 1 or 2 songs with objectively bad production, pain is one example. The song also has some dumb shit spat by rocky, so it takes the crown for being the worst track for me.</p><p>All in all, this is great, but i gave it a 7/10 because there's a lot of decent-at-best songs in there. Very few bad songs though, but the entire album mellows out to a fair 7. Great production, mid vocals, yeah.</p><p>(why are you reading an album review on an ai chat site? tf wrong with you)</p>
