Fans of A$AP Rocky will have to keep waiting to get their hands on LongLiveA$AP. During an interview with WiLD 94.9’s Nessa (via Miss Info), the Harlem, New York rapper explained that the album is already finished but that the clearing and mastering process has caused him to push back the LP yet again. Now, he hopes to drop the project in early 2013.
“The issue with my album is I got things on it that’s so out of this world that it’s taking so long to get mastered,” he said. “That’s the issue, and I refuse to take anything off. It’s complete, everything is being mastered and cleared right now. Its just so hard to get things cleared, because you got to find people to clear samples. It takes a long time and that’s why it keeps getting pushed back from Halloween to September 11th. I want to say it’s looking like top of the year, first quarter because it makes no sense to put out a album in December.”
Watch the interview below, where he also speaks on “Fuckin’ Problem,” his fashion sense and more.

he’s not stupid.
probably a good business move
HE IS SMART, STYLISH AND GOOD RAPPER. EVERYBODY RELEASES HIS SHIT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND EVERYBODY WILL FLOP FOR SURE.
how does it not make sense to put out an album in december? what fucking difference does it make?
i recall people saying jeezy only sold more records than rick ross because he put his out in december LOL
plus those FIVE mixtapes he had in 2 yrs with drama and cannon. rozay had ONE mixtape before GFID
Kendrick is buzzing way too heavy right now, Meek Mill should follow suit as well…..
That Goldie Track hype lasted about 3 weeks and the A$AP mob mixtape ain’t make much of an impact either…best to lay low and let them forget you for a lil bit and hit them with something hot when they least expect it. February-March is when things are a bit slow in the music world all together.
there you go armchair record executive, run that billion dollar industry on that twin bed…..
what a shock…not
yo asap gets most of his beats from http://www.yucbeats.com see for urself that sound so familar plus i think he should drop his album asap (no pun intented)
Regardless of Puns..I see what you did there.
CLEVER HUH? PROMOTING HIS SHITTY BEATS
Yo A$AP, you better put Ja Rule on there since you’re pushing it back or my niggas coming to get you. Ja Rule a real nigga, fact!
Get outta here with that shit,haha.
Prolly a smart thing to do at the moment, Kendrick is the only thing people give a fuck about right now. Yall niggas better fall back for a while.
negro please stop dickriding. theres enough shine for everybody. always has been. niggas like you always trying to take another niggas shine. plus 200k is not groundbreaking. he aint go platinum in a week like wayne or taylor swift. you act like they dropping the same week. his fans arent gonna stop supporting him because another rapper album just dropped gtfoh.
Does anyone other than Taylor Swift and Lil Wayne do a million their first week anymore? Maybe Eminem, Drake and Kanye (if he doesn’t give most of the album away for free early). Not a very good comparison. A$AP has pretty much no buzz right now…why would the label even consider dropping an album. Kendrick has had a lot of buzz for a while and people were waiting on that….no one is waiting on A$AP….
smart dude. Make sure EVERYTHING gets cleared before putting it out or youll end up like Tyga. Album on itunes but the stores wont put it on shelves cus the King Speech wasnt cleared. Or end up getting sued for not clearing shit. You dont want your first album to bring in law suits
The real story is, he heard good kid, m.a.a.d city and went back to the drawing board. Cant blame the kid! LOL
agreed
LOL
L.O.L.
LOL!! I swear that I was just about to say that exact same thing. Good thing I scrolled down a bit.
that album is trash, a big dissapointment he kendrick is not the next dre or snoop or game, he needs more work, way morree work
lol I don’t blame him
Go fuck yourself.
The REAL STORY is, he is experiencing the decline of the ONE HIT WONDER. I bet my bottom dollar we wont hear from this dude next year.
please try not to be such a faggot next time
Ya Crazy , If You Think A$AP is Done Lmaooo
It’s cuz’ he know his Album is NOT that serious and it needs MORE work and TIME
his mixtape was SAMPLE HEAVY so it makes sense that his album is probly guna b all sampled shit, meaning every track has to b cleared, so it would take a minute for his album to drop
hha sample heavy? ever heard of pauls boutique?
A$$WIPE is the negro Kreayshawn except she has nicer nipples
A$$WIPE!!!
Needs to suck more cock to keep the buzz going except retard is learning the novelty is over and women run more than half the magazines, tv shows etc etc…
The longer A$$WIPE delays this garbage the better chance black culture has at making some kind of comeback.
waiting 2 days till the release to announce this shit though? say peace to a fuckload of people who were waitin on this shit.
He heard Good Kid Maad City and realised he was gone put out trash and now he holding his garbage back. Smart Kid, Meek Mill would be smart too if he did the same
YEP!
Im not surprised that people are delaying shit now. GKMC is a beast
if it takes longer to get quality shit then good. back in the 90s no one dropped a project every year.
quality > quantity
He’s an idiot.
It makes no sense to put out an album in December? December sales double because of all the shopping,
Jan-March are the lowest times for sales.
Good luck with that
yeah allot of ppl buy asap rocky xmas presents
she keeps touching his leg man she want the d!!…he should just put out his shit now his relevance is slowly declining
fuck this idiot, he literally just lost all his buzz… shits gonna be a bunch of features and the song goldie.
So ugly & the album will stink
