As told in this new interview today, A$AP Rocky's debut LP, LongLiveA$AP will find release in early 2013 due to sample clearance issues. The quoteable for your convenience:

"The issue with my album is I got things on it that’s so out of this world that it’s taking so long to get mastered. That’s the issue, and I refuse to take anything off. It’s complete, everything is being mastered and cleared right now."
- A$AP Rocky

lol sample clearances huh...its not the fact you ain't put out a real hit yet and Kendrick just loop right pass your ass.

yea he putting out a mixtape out now too this winter...which means that's the album he had lol.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Dammit

I'm so ready to hear a new Rocky project!!!@!@!@

This is like the worst music news I've received in a while

he ruined my comparison thread lol
sony got scrurred,
that 'problems' single is a knee-jerk reaction trying to capitalize off its participants
we didn't get the typical snippet, tracklisting, prod. credits this month so i figured the pushback was coming

my girl love it I ain't heard it in no club or bar setting yet tho

He's not an artist whose buzz amongst his fanbase is gonna go away within a few months. They seem to be rocking with him. Amongst the average consumer, perhaps, but all it will take is one more song in the vein of "Peso" and he'll be back in the good graces of the same blog folks who are shitting on him today for the pushback.

I saw him live in Toronto a while back, pretty big crowd who seemed very into him and his music.

But with any Internet created star, we'll see. For every Mac Miller, there are 15 Kreayshawns.

Meek, 2 Chainz and Kendrick. I don't hear Asap.
Edit - and most of these kids in question are from Harlem, Washington Heights, and North Bronx. Areas where he should be popping.

Y'all saying the same shit I said for months

Girls like Asap and a lot of other rappers better

Bloggers and hipsters like Lamar better

I've literally said that for months and y'all got
mad

Pitchfork et al were on his nuts for a long minute, I'd say he was far more en vogue then Kendrick. I wouldn't even describe Kendrick as a hipster favourite - hipsters generally shun rap with content these days (hangover from the backpack era)and prefer that ign'ant shit.

Ain't got no horse in this race tho, just an observation.

I kinda agree with some of your points about GKMC. I love it, and it knocks hard until track 10, 'sing about me'. Up until then the production is varied enough to hold your attention on some of the longer more complicated tracks/narratives.

Then the climax/moment of clarity is supposed to happen (the lyrics are incredible) BUT the next two tracks total nearly TWENTY MINUTES of pretty weak jazzy snooze fest production which made me force myself to make it through. Which is a shame cos he spits some real shit but Damn the album dies a quiet death right there.

Guess that's the sacrifice you make for giving an artist complete creative control.

On balance the first two thirds make up for it but you're right in the fact that it's overlong.

In fact I've listened to it a god 5/6 times and still haven't made it past track 11 :/

Lesson is in for a rude awakening on Kendrick Lamar

Not that the Lesson is making everything about Kendrick, but that we're in a rude awakening?

Right now he's perfect because he's nerdy enough for
the Lesson to feel like they are being arty but is
selling enough for the Lesson to not be labelled "nerds"

He'll either get too famous or will put out a bunch of
dumbass club songs that will flop...and the Lesson will
move on

Lesson-types aren't loyal fans, they ride with whatever
boosts their self esteem

And now he's putting out a free mixtape... These guys really need to take notes on what Kendrick and TDE have been doing... And especially that deal they got with Aftermath/Interscope... TDE controlled GKMC... Swimming Pools wasn't a (HUGE) hit... He didn't have to release Poetic Justice as a single for the album to be released... TDE is doing it right...

For whatever reason, Jimmy Iovine let Kenrick and 'em make the album they wanted. I guess he believed in their vision and allowed them to carry it out with minimal interference (and please don't believe the story that Dre signed Kendrick - Jimmy walked him over to Dre).

A$AP doesn't have that. Hell, the label exec who signed him (Bryan Leech at Polo Grounds) is about to go to jail for two years. He got a shitload of $ to sign with those guys but it may not have been worth it.

What exactly did he have before the majors launched his career?

Please.

I hope the record is good. He's dropped enough music over the past year or so that people shouldn't be desperate for new music.

They want that HUGE single from him... They're not getting it and they've pushed the album back...

ASAP's sound is not the same lane at all. LiveLoveA$AP was fucking dope, so was Goldie. I'm looking forward to the album.

Lol

now Kendrick has went right past him

Obama started off as the hot shit, but
Kendrick's album > Obama's campaign right
now

KL's album is a masterpiece

Obama's campaign? Meh

She fell off since being Bill Clinton's inaugural

Still, that Kendrick was able to move past her so
quickly tells you how great the album was

but I repeat, they're in two diff lanes so its not like the folks riding for Kendrick are the same folks riding for ASAP u get my point

According to the Lesson.

You're pretty much banned from saying anything good
about any rapper under 25

I just heard Joey Bada$$'s mixtape (Yeah, I'm late) and
want to post about it, but am literally scared its going
to cause a Joey Bada$$ backlash

"F you Im better in tune with the Infinite"

You made an irrelevant point about Kendrick Lamar
when discussing Asap Rocky. There literally could be
thousands of reasons that Rock's album is being pushed
back. It happens to the most famous rappers as well
as young kids like Rock

It is a testament to how sensitive the Leasson is about
Kendrick Lamar

You manage to make everything about him and manage to
squeeze him into every conversation

I didn't say that was the only reason just one of them why you pick up on me saying he ain't have a hit either?

http://twitter.com/Menphyel7


"F you Im better in tune with the Infinite"

most of us, me included where disappointed. for me he's possibly one of the best pure new rappers, but i just don't like the beats he chose, kind like the east coast version of Purp's Memphis fetishism. def liked a few songs, but overall i was disappointed. i know he's got a great album in him though. so i'll check for whatever he drops in the coming months/years

are fighting you on that fact.

I'd say that was to be expected but I realize that's more debatable.

won't even admit Kendrick went right past him in buzz

http://twitter.com/Menphyel7


"F you Im better in tune with the Infinite"

<--- Big Baller World Order

well played sir

yes he had bigger buzz than KL at the beginiing of the year, but that aint got shit to do with it

He signed to a major with big money and NO CO-SIGN. he dropped two singles (Goldie & Pretty Flacko) that are damn good, but did not gain traction the way labels needed them to, so they put the brakes on him. they threw out that "who's hot right now-right now!!!" single "fucn problems" and still no immediate love. and you know a lot of his music, for all the it sounds southern criticisms, is sample based, and on a major they really do need to clear that shit, so you know, that really could be an issue as well.

all that said i think it's good he's dropping another mixtape before his "actual" release, and he'll be fine

came up and did it right and flew past him. I mean they both had the most talked about mixtapes on the net...SEction 80/longliveASAP..they both drop okay singles THe recpiece/Goldie...then one took off and the other stalled?

I think him doing that group mixtape fucked him up they should have waited on that.

a$ap had that nyc/fader buzz. after the world announced the black hippy/tde aftermath partnership it was a wrap. k dot. buzz eclipsed a$ap in one swoop, hell the same thing happen to chief keef post interscope

>He signed to a major with big money and NO CO-SIGN.
>he dropped two singles (Goldie & >Pretty Flacko) that are damn good, but did not gain traction the way labels needed them to,
>so they put the brakes on him.

having hype and being from nyc is enough ask action, exquire, badass etc. he had the money and right people to put him position. he had enough behind the scene tastemaker co-signs(chace infinite, emeka obi, fools gold, etc.) which is enough.

>they threw out that "who's hot right now-right now!!!" single "fucn problems" and still no >immediate love. and you know a lot of his music,

sony buckled after they knew meek & k dot was dropping for definite the end of october. we didn't see a tracklisting, prod. credit, hear snippets etc. he never got a calendar date because the label didn't think he could compete was his contemporaries

>all that said i think it's good he's dropping another mixtape before his "actual" release, and >he'll be fine

if its good he will be fine. he should stay away from the go to folks like mikewillmadeit, hit-boy and stay with folks like clams & burnone. its unfortunate he severed ties with purpp he need that completely left/lo-fi shit to stand out right now
