A$AP Rocky corraled an impressive group of emcees for his Hit-Boy-produced cut “1 Train,” included on his upcoming debut album LongLiveA$AP.
During an interview with Fuse, the Harlem, New York rapper explained why he enlisted Danny Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf, Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$ and Big K.R.I.T. for the posse cut, stating that he came up with on his own.
“That was one of the things that I absolutely came up with by myself,” he said. “No [A$AP] Yams this time, no nothing. I heard the beat from Hit-Boy and said yo, I need Danny Brown on here, I need Kendrick… I just wanted to mess with a lot of the underground cats and a lot of people that didn’t really get the recognition that they deserve who I thought were talented emcees. I just basically made a posse cut featuring my favorite underground emcees of my day, the cats that I came up with. I came up in the era of Bronson and Danny and Kendrick and Yelawolf and K.R.I.T. [They] were right before me. But I can relate to it and I’m friends with all of those guys so it was cool to make that happen.”

i dislike the rap game
i want better lyrics
I still don’t understand ASAP’s lyric, “I know one thang… Anything is better than that one train.” It’s delivered like it is a punch line, yet I fail to even see the meaning of it. Obviously it references the song title, which I understand that they (the rappers) are “running a train” on the beat.
It seems like moments like this occur often within Rocky’s lyrics. For me, this new album will reveal if ASAP Rocky is a “fast food” rapper or if he actually has substance. You feel me?
or the picakchu line from “hands on the wheel”
dudes killing lyrics
hey man the 1 train line is referring to the Train line number 1 in new york that is all busted up, old and just plain trash haha, hope that helps
^^what he said…. its pretty simple. Don’t hurt yourself thinking too hard.
Of course, Rocky also seems to be aware of the fact that he’s been deemed the “pretty boy” in hip-hop. The question is, has he accepted that title only to be doomed by it? Or is he ready to prove that he’s more than just appearance and has some deep lyrical tricks up his sleeve? I guess we’ll find out on the album. I’ve always loved the atmospheric production of ASAP, just to end on a positive note.
LOL dude album leaked weeks ago, STRAIT FIRE. Get with it cuz
Yeah the album is dope as fuck
i want lyrics better than this
They think they’re crazy but they ain’t crazy, let’s face it
Shit, basically they’re just playing sick
They ain’t shit, they ain’t saying shit, spray em 50
A to the K get in the way I’ll bring Dre and them with me
And turn this day into fucking mayhem, you staying with me?
Don’t let me lose you, I’m not trying to confuse you
When I let loose with this Uzi and just shoot through your Isuzu
You get the message? Am I getting through to you?
You know what’s coming, you motherfuckers don’t even know, do you?
Take some Big and some Pac and you mix em up in a pot
Sprinkle a little Big L on top, what the fuck do you got?
You got the realest and illest killers tied up in a knot
The juggernauts of this rap shit, like it or not
It’s like a fight to the top just to see who’d die for the spot
You put ya life in this, nothing like surviving a shot
Y’all know what time it is, soon as 50 signs on this dot
Shit what you know about death threats, cause I get a lot
Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the towers
Them cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours
Better evacuate all children, it’s nuclear showers
There’s nothing spookier
You now about to witness the power of fucking 50
eminem is the greatest hands down
legendary verse by Em
dude copy and pastes a verse acting like hes applying knowledge of the game fuck outta here with that shit..youre one of the reason the game cant evolve youre stuck in the past unwilling to accept any form of change or evolution even when its for the better.
Rite and all the emcees on the 1 train killed it.equally if not more raw than that Em verse.
Don’t hate on me for that either because Em would say that same n u kno it
bring bridges back
hip hop stinks
Shyne, Ja Rule, and Soulja Boy should colab and take the game ova.. show these young cats what real rap is about
So this is the CLOWN holding it down for NY!?
Yelawolf DEFINITELY had the best verse on this track
