he'll kill his career if he leaves it any longer. these artists who leave huge gaps between each album seem to think they'll be relevant forever. travis scott left it way too late for utopia and it was a bit underwhelming and didn't really get huge recoginiton. @@YOURMOM-tx8xs

his best album by far was 10 years ago bro get over yourself

[@user-tb9sq5po6z]

Mane... like the above people said...Rocky peaked over a decade ago (2011-12) when he was biting the RK aesthetic. He hasn't been good in over 8 years, these are average features from him.

[@sid1417]

​@@user-tb9sq5po6z cap. Alla and testing were amazing albums as well.

nah he's good, very well known.

[@nothingtosee5744]

Asap is so incredibly underrated in his ability to coordinate a videos, color story line and on top of that add a storyline that connects
