A$AP Rocky is an icon within every industry he’s touched. From fashion, to his flows, to the fact that he got the baddest woman alive pregnant not once but twice back to back, there’s no denying that A$AP is one of a kind. But this video isn’t about the clothes or the headlines, this is about what Rocky is like in the studio, straight from the mouths of Tyler The Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and more.

[@flysocietyotm]

Currently my fav artist. A$AP Rocky, a true inspiration to just live free. Be. Be whatever you want to be... but do the best you can do. Fashion wise he brings a unique sense, shit makes you be more creative with your swag. He's a living legend in my opinion.

[@sableyes]

Fr, he's my favorite next to ye

[@PavethaWay]

Clams Casino X Rocky was the best formula

[@DomDee3]

Clams Casino and Rocky are the best duo LVL is Rocky’s best song imo

[@potatovert8993]

Thank you for giving him his flowers!!

[@itzJennesto]

It's Rocky, Asap is the crew

[@orionthatman9390]

Thanks. It bothers me so much when people refer to him as ASAP instead of calling him Rocky

[@TheWildGiraffe]

Suddenly was always my favorite rocky song. I always felt like it represented most what I liked about him as an artist. Had no idea he produced it as well until now, and it makes total sense. He introduces us to this ethereal lyricism and follows it up with a flow and rhyme pattern any pure hip hop head would appreciate. Well done my guy and thank you for everything you’ve done thus far. 🙏🏽💯

[@TheDJDi3go]

Nice video! Rocky is really inspirational

[@kdthelastson]

Waiting On the Rocky Album.But y'all don't sleep on Me

[@jastrology4192]

Whats crazy is when Rocky does that really deep voice, that isn't an effect. He can actually make his voice that deep.

[@prettygorda]

Thank you for making this vid! He's so underrated. Can't wait for the new album.

[@hiphopdx]

Thanks for watching!!!!!

[@yungjeddy]

I miss mac miller.

I see Rocky how everyone see cole Kendrick and drake

[@cavinnkosi]

the fact that I've heard all of these freestyles was unsettling

[@hiphopdx]

Lol big fan!!!

[@a.d.the.4mvla43]

1 train ive studied that track and imo Danny Brown had the most stand out verse

[@hiphopdx]

Underrated!

[@Letsweletse]

9:25 Nah but even A$APs verse was fire on 1train. Especially in the beginning. "Feeling like a missionary or a visionary, to my ASAP killas get your pistols ready, send em to the summary get obituaries, don't be scared nigga is you ready, I've been thinking bout, all the Os in my bank account.... let his nuts hang let his gun bang, transition from a Lamborghini to a mustang.😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥 Probably didn't get the verse right but that was a killer opener to the song.

[@nipinpyjama]

*young boy let his gun bang; let his nuts hang, transition to a lamborghini from a mustang

everybody had such a great verse honestly

[@castfive4038]

[@saulortiz2455]

There NEVER EVRRRRRR been an album which had made me feel the "ENERGY" these Artists always tend to speak about, like "AT.LONG.LAST.ASAP" I can't find the right WORDS to describe how I FELT Everytime I've listened to that Album! The best way I can describe it is "DARK ASFK" just look at the cover of the album, the dark vibes it portrays "that's how I feel" ‼️

[@leroii_irl]

LORD SHIT!🌹🔥

[@hiphopdx]

We'll be doing one on him soon!

[@temesgenberaki2842]

Good content. But you could have touched his visuals. Like thats his unique trait and what sets him apart from other rappers imo. He is also heavly invested in it as much as making music or layin down beats

[@hiphopdx]

Yes could have talked more about those! Focused mainly on the studio but you're right they're tied in together

[@jaf4912]

can somebody tell me the name of the song at 8:15?

[@cueshq789]

Was listening to fuckin problems the pther day and i was like man. This nigga a$ap really had drake and kendrick on a track with a gahdamn 2 chainz hook 😮‍💨 but krit def had the best verse on 1 train no comp

[@hiphopdx]

Insane! And not mad at that answer at all!

[@pansexualdickhaver6878]

I believe it was originally a drake song but he gave it to rocky iirc

[@dylanlavillain7173]

JID on a A$AP Rocky beat tape would be fire....I mean them on a project together anyway would be good
