This! I was like is he aware of the fact that everything he "brought back". . . NEVER LEFT?

A lot of the stuff he was saying he was a huge influence on was like stuff that is damn near essential to the Hip Hop aesthetic. But Rocky thinks he does everything. Remember when he talked about the making of his album and he was saying he produced it and he was like, "Yeah. I put the rain effect on this one track. That rain effect WAS ME." I guess that makes him a producer. lol

He's cute and his music is fun to dance to but jeez.

Lol at him trying to pull that "I sorta produced the album" nonsense. You're on the list with rapper/producers like Kanye, no one is impressed that you put in some drizzle noises.

Well, I don't know Kanye was a producer who produced a lot of hits before being a rapper. So he is legitimately a producer.

Other than that Rocky is a mess. He's still primarily an internet sensation. So I don't know what's up his ass.

Yeah, I've seen him getting hype from some rap outlets and like, the Pitchfork-style folks and tumblr people, but he has one top ten single to his name, and an album that hit number 1 during a low quarter and hasn't even been certified Gold yet. He should feel lucky he made the list when every artist ahead of him has way more visibility, success and hype.

And even on the one hit he does have he as overshadowed by Kendrick who took the 1st spot anyway. Kendrick's verse on Rocky's song is a fan favorite and "Girl, I know you want this dihhh" has even become a meme. Like, I don't understand the delusion this man lives with.

Well he did produce Long Live Asap and Suddenly in the purest sense of the word (two of my favorites on the record)
