*Live Love A$AP
this nigga ain’t worth 3 million with 3 million in his pocket….hell drake ain’t get 3… this nigga trippin
What you fail to realize is record labels are constantly looking for the next big thing. ASAP got a buzz like crazy right now and he’s going on tour with drake who is gonna open him up to a whole new audience. Thats worth 3 mill to me just by itself. But the icing on the cake is that the kids music is good and he star written all over him
You read what ASAP Rocky said his mixtape is a classic. I agree with the fact that his mixtape better than Wale new album thats a fact real talk. Hate me for that but this shit dope and if you got some good subs this shit knocks like an old DJ Screw tape.
