As much as you guys hate on this pretty motherfucker, he is more Veeky Forums than 99.9% of you basement dwellers

You do realise that this guy is self-made right? He was a homeless nigga before ASAP Yams (rip) contacted him. He came up with HBA and other fuccboi shit and brought the brand to his knees. Now he focusses on high fashion combined with streetwear.

>mfw at all the lyrics posted
>mfw no face

>Why is Rocky so based?

because you like him and listen to his music

/thread

>implying he choses his clothes himself

>self made
but signed to a major label
but needs people to tell him how to dress
but has elaborate songwriting and producing teams for every song on nearly every album
how old are you exactly

he's a trendy nigga

He's a fucking culture vulture

???

You obviously dont know anything about Flacko.
All his albums have been released with the A$AP Worldwide label, which they have founded themselves. Most of the lyrics are written by Rocky himself, as can be seen in his freestyles. He learned to dress himself and only has 1 stylist, Matthew Henson, who already said that Rocky has a natural feeling for style and he only puts the fits together, Rocky chooses the designers and pieces.

Top kek

>All his albums have been released with the A$AP Worldwide label
and rca, polo grounds
>Most of the lyrics are written by Rocky himself
how much is most
where do the instrumentals come from again
>only has 1 stylist, Matthew Henson
fair enough. but actually having a stylist at all is ridiculously inauthentic enough on its own.

yeeeah you dont know what youre talking about
im sure he has stylists but he def writes his own shit

i dont get why he gets so much hate, hes not the best by far but that nigga can body any fucking beat he wants

>where do the instrumentals come from again

He makes his own beats

Rca and Polo Grounds were used by Rocky for funding his own label so he now subreleases the albums to all of the three. I cant give exact figures on how much but Long.Live.ASAP and LiveLoveAsap were all written by Rocky Himself. Beats are mostly Clams Casino and others but most rappers dont produce for themselves so I dont see it as an issue.

umm no he doesnt, he posted a few mediocre beats but thats it
its not like every rapper produces his own shit, only a chosen few (rza, kanye), the guy youre replying too doesnt have a clue about the genre apparently

a stylist for a guy of his(pharrell,kanye,etc) caliber essentially finds dope as fuck pieces for you so you dont have to spend all your time looking for rare garms. nothing non genuine about having one.

I remember this. who /oldfag/ here?

yeah and producers dont end up being the best rappers

I'd love to buy dior, but I'll have to pay my debt first, I promise, I just spent 20,000 on rick owens out in barney's

I adore Rocky, but Im quite sure the everyman could look like him if they simply had access to his resources.. He's just a canvas. I've seen the pics of him before he got money, and he dressed like your basic street hood..

At least rocky contributes something. that dirty monkey nigga Ian Connor on the other hand though...

Elaborate

lol yall must of never heard a hip hop album, every song has input from 5 different people even on kanye's albums. rocky might help make a beat or two but i'd say thats the extent of it

im not a fan of music in general, I dont hate it
but making rhymes is the least fashionable music you could possibly make

body goal

yeah money is a big part desu. I hate to sound cocky but I'd be pretty well dressed too if money wasn't an object. I think perhaps marketing yourself and establishing an image is the hard part.

implying tapping a keyboard is any more effay.

Musicians who play real instruments ftw

>valuing music based on how it was made and not how it sounds

only sensible post in the entire thread

I reckon he does do most of his shit but him being in Dior is a fucking disgrace. He's just like any 'trendy' normie only with money to blow on the actual designers instead of the H&M/Zara rips.

He was homeless in his early teen years I recall, (homeless as in living in the shelter system, which isint as bad as it sounds, but still shitty) and he bounced around different states with his family during that time, that's where he picked up that "Trill" wave during his time in the south.

Yams was a nerdy grunt intern for a rap label when him and rocky became friends, they simply combined there talents and resources to become what they are.

And I heard Rocky lived primilary in the Bronx, he just hung out in Harlem.

An inspirational story nonetheless.

Fuck pretty IM GORGEOUS, Rocky is based because the niggas rich af and he can get any bitch he wants. Honestly he could wear a potato sack and he would still get any dime he wants.

>2011
>thinks he's oldfag

>tfw your race didn't go through selective breeding
we won't make it

Why does he hang with Ian though? That motherfucker srsly needs a good ol fashion ghetto ass kickin

didn't he just recently got hit?
