ASAP Rocky Roasts Tyler, The Creator Over “CHROMAKOPIA” Album Cover

by

ASAP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator came from different worlds. The former a New York rapper raised on Dipset and Bone-Thugs. The latter a California prodigy who grew up on Pharrell and Kanye West. They’re an odd pairing on paper, and yet they’ve been friends and collaborators for a decade. Tyler, The Creator recently unveiled the title and cover art for his new album, CHROMAKOPIA. The art was praised by fans and hip hop outlets alike for its striking design. ASAP Rocky, on the other hand, decided to have fun with his OF brother.

ASAP Rocky went in the comment section of Tyler’s announcement post and clowned the rapper’s looks. “UGLY N***A B LOL,” he wrote. A comment like this would usually be grounds for a social media beef, but Rocky and Tyler have a sense of humor predicated on roasting. Besides, looks and style are big parts of both of their brands. ASAP Rocky literally branded himself “Pretty Flacko” early on in his career, and has spent the last decade as more of a fashion staple than a rapper. Tyler’s style differs from Rocky’s, but he has actually struck a better balance between music and fashion.

ASAP Rocky Clowned Tyler, The Creator’s Looks

Don’t believe us? Tyler, The Creator has dropped two albums since ASAP Rocky’s Testing in 2018. The release date for CHROMAKOPIA is also before Rocky’s upcoming release, Don’t Be Dumb. This means the Odd Future icon will have tripled Rocky’s output over the last eight years. This stat was not lost on fans, who proceeded to pester the ASAP Mob standout for an album update. Don’t Be Dumb was set to drop August 30, but the rapper told Billboard that it had been delayed due to sample clearances. He also pointed to internet leaks as an ongoing issue during recording sessions.

ASAP Rocky is back up and recording, though, as evidenced by the singles he’s dropped over the last few months. He was on the deluxe version of Tyler, The Creator’s last album, Call Me If You Get Lost. He also delivered a standout verse on the Flower Boy song “Who Dat Boy.” It’d be ideal if Rocky could hop on CHROMAKOPIA and Tyler could return the favor on Don’t Be Dumb. We will see if it actually happens.

W Magazine unveiled the cover for its latest issue, Volume 5: The Originals, featuring Grammy-nominated rapper A$AP Rocky. In a special collaboration, his partner, megastar and business mogul Rihanna, shot the cover. This unique pairing has fans buzzing as the couple continues to make waves in the fashion and entertainment industries.

In the story, Rocky reveals how he knew Rihanna was the one: “I knew from when we were younger. We both did, I think. So it was only right when we got older. We just kind of reconnected…”

Rocky also highlights Rihanna is one of the sources of support, stating: She knows when to hold it down. I think we both have our niches, our things that we do that we’re good at. She could never be a great dad, because she’s a great mom…And I could never be a great mom, because I’m the greatest dad in the whole wide world.”

ASAP Rocky Out Of iHeartRadio Festival After Contracting Illness

by

ASAP Rocky announced on Thursday that he will no longer be performing at this weekend’s iHeartRadio Music Festival 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. “UNFORTUNATELY, I ENDED UP GETTING SICK & I WON’T BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE @iheartfestival. IM SORRY TO MY FANS & THANKFUL TO @iheartradio FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!” he wrote on his Instagram story. “I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORMING SOME NEW MUSIC FOR YALL! ENJOY THE SHOW THE LINE UP IS [three fire emojis].”

ASAP Rocky was set to headline the festival on Saturday evening. Though he’s no longer performing, the event still boasts a star-studded lineup. The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Big Sean, and Paramore are among the names scheduled. Rocky’s replacement has not been named, though an educated guess will probably lead fans to believe either The Weeknd or Doja Cat will step in at the top of the bill.

ASAP Rocky Pulls Out Of iHeartRadio Music Festival, No Replacement Named Yet

The “new music” that ASAP Rocky promised to perform during his set may have been from his upcoming album DON’T BE DUMB, which he delayed at the beginning of last month. The album, which is six years in the making, was originally supposed to drop on August 30. However, it is now without a hard release date. Rocky cited the years of leaks as the main reason the album got pushed back. However, he also confirmed that it is still planned for a 2024 release.

In the meantime, ASAP Rocky has released some new music. He released the music video for “Tailor Swif,” a track that leaked a while back but became a fan favorite. He also dropped “Ruby Rosary,” an Alchemist-produced cut that features a strong J. Cole verse on the back half. It is not immediately clear if either track will make the final album, but they’ve kept fans happy during what is hopefully the home stretch of Rocky’s tumultous rollout.

ASAP Rocky Drops Long-Anticipated “Tailor Swif” Single And It Slaps

by

ASAP Rocky is making all the right decisions. The rapper may have delayed his anticipated comeback album, Don’t Be Dumb, but he’s been clear that he simply wants it to be as good as possible. The first big single, “HIGHJACK,” is an indicator of the quality he’s going for. The song and the music video were terrific, suggesting that fans are going to be well-fed when September comes around. To make up for the delay, though, ASAP Rocky decided to drop a song fans have wanted for months: “Tailor Swif.” The last single was cloudy and chilled out, but “Tailor Swif” is more bouncy, ASAP Mob vibes.

The instrumental is deceptively layered. On first listen it sounds like a basic drum pattern, but the closer one listens, the more one catches all the little sonic details.” Tailor Swif” has busy vocal samples littered throughout. There’s also a sneaky synth line that creeps in and out of ASAP Rocky’s verses. Rocky takes aim at every rapper’s favorite target: the unnamed op. “Ready, might just sign my ex-girl, no Malcolm and Eddie, already,” he spits. “Your a*s might just go and get upset, don’t be petty, already. Smoke ‘za so you stressed, boy, that’s Reggie, a wetty.” There isn’t much to the Taylor Swift reference beyond the chorus, but it’s catchy, and it works. Another win for ASAP Rocky.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

ASAP Rocky Says Rihanna is ‘Perfect Person’ for His Life

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are still going strong. In an exclusive story with Billboard, Rocky celebrated their ability to balance their lives and love each other.

“It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” Rocky said. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Also in that story, A$AP Rocky thinks Drake is a “pussy boy.” In a new feature with Billboard ahead of his forthcoming album, Rocky stated he could care less about feuding with Drake.

“You got to realize, certain n—as was throwing shots for years. I ain’t in the middle of that s–t,” Rocky said. “That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p—y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N—as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N—as sniping n—as every day. That little kitty s–t ain’t about nothing.”

Drake Fires Back At Rappers Who Dissed Him On New Song “No Face”

by

Drake is keeping it moving. The dust has barely settled on the rapper’s “100 GIGS” release, and now we have three new songs. A lot of the attention will go to “Supersoak,” the anticipated Lil Yachty leak that no longer features Lil Yachty. That said, “No Face” has the most fascinating bars. Drake and Playboi Carti go back and forth on a hard rage beat. Carti does his thing, per usual. Drake, however, takes the time to call out the rappers who dissed him in 2024. It’s a long list, and the Toronto superstar decides to side swipe them all with a couple lines.

We’ve heard Drake go the detailed route. “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” were instances of him dissing each of his enemies specifically. He found time to poke fun at The Weeknd, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, and of course, Kendrick Lamar. “No Face” opts for a different approach. The 6 God decides to go vague with it, and hint at what’s to come. “I’m just so happy,” he raps. “That n**gas who envied and held that sh*t in got to finally show it.” The second line, though, is more ominous. “I’m over the moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon,” Drake adds. This isn’t the only time on “No Face” the 6 God decides to address what went down between him and the rest of the rap game.

Drake Tells His Enemies That He’ll See Them “Soon”

Much has been made about Drake’s diminishing ability to make hits. The “Drake stimulus package” that ran R&B and hip hop for over a decade has been labeled obsolete. The rapper doesn’t much care for that take. He reminds everyone that he helped people like Ross, Rocky, and The Weeknd blow up. “This is the sh*t that my daddy had raised me on. N**gas got lit off the features I skated on,” he spits. “I gotta know, I gotta know. How you get lit off the n**ga you hatin’ on?” Drake is planning something big, and the bulk of his verse at the something without every revealing what it is.

The rest of Drake’s first verse bears this out. He even makes reference to the advice that people like OVO 40 have been giving him behind closed doors. “40 keep sayin’ it’s time to be patient,” he explains. “It’s so many people we turnin’ the tables on. Capo got plans, but we’ll save that for later on. Hush’ll keep sayin’ they know that they played it wrong.” The 6 God is definitely back on his subliminal game. We’re curious and excited to see where the rest of Drake’s 2024 goes.

ASAP Rocky Reportedly Delays New Album “Don’t Be Dumb” By A Month

by

We were so close. ASAP Rocky has been teasing the release of his fourth studio album since 2018. The traction that the album, titled Don’t Be Dumb, gained in recent months, however, made it seem like it was finally coming to fruition. An August 30th release date was unveiled, and ASAP Rocky started doing the promo rounds. He even dropped a music video for his latest single, “HIGHJACK.” Then, within hours of the video’s release, the rug was pulled out. Don’t Be Dumb is reportedly being delayed. Again.

The delay was announced by the Twitter account Amk. The account posted a screenshot of a convo in which the release date of the Don’t Be Dumb vinyls was confirmed to be September 30th. The account noted that September 30th has not been officially announced as ASAP Rocky’s new release date, but it does look as though the rapper is going to push the album back once again. September 30th would be exactly one month removed from the original Don’t Be Dumb release date.

ASAP Rocky’s Album Has Suffered Multiple Delays

The Amk tweet noted that Don’t Be Dumb was supposed to release the same day as the Destroy Lonely album, Love Lasts Forever. It’s unclear whether the Destroy Lonely release has anything to do with the alleged delay. ASAP Rocky talked about the recording process for Don’t Be Dumb during a recent chat with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. He blamed internet leaks for the album’s delays. “It’s very important and special if it makes it on the album,” he explained. “Most of the songs that I usually perform and sh*t like that, motherf*ckers leak it.”

ASAP Rocky claimed that none of the leaked songs made the final tracklist. “Once it’s leaked, it’s just like, ha, it’s not on the project,” he stated. “I might perform it here or there, but it’s leaked. It is what it is… It’s out already. A lot of these records didn’t make it because they got leaked at some point.” Hopefully the Harlem rapper is able to recover, and drop the album soon. The response to the rumored delay has not be positive, and given that fans have waited for five years, it’s easy to see why.
