A$AP Rocky has steadily delayed his debut album LongLiveA$AP from the summer to fall to 2013. During an interview with The Charlotte Observer, the Harlem, New York rapper revealed that the album was completed months ago but that he’s holding off on releasing it so that he can get his buzz up.
“Secretly this album has been done, honestly, for the past couple of months. My buzz has been growing rapidly, but I’ve secretly done all these amazing things a long time ago,” he said.
Referring to the “amazing things” he’s done, Rocky explained that he’s talking about peers who are featured on his records and those that feature him on their songs. ““People like to work with me because I’m eclectic and I care about the craft. It’s a true collaboration based on chemistry, not based on buzz,” he explained.

lmfao it don’t work like dat fuck nigga im not copping that average shit anymore
Thats what I’m saying. If the album is that good it will sell itself. Rappers always try to pull this $h#
Lukewarm album we got, Rocky?
The label don’t want to bring it out…don’t front on us.
the labels are always 2 steps behind whats hot.
Sylvia Rone said Drake didnt have it in him to be a star. He blew up. He also said they didnt like that he had skit and interludes on his album and tried to fight him on it. It still went platinum.
Eminem was never figured to be a huge artist. Well now hes the highest selling hip hop artist thats alive.
Columbia and Capitol records both passed on Kanye West. Look at where he is now.
Columbia dropped Mariah Carey back in 2003/2004. Island Def Jam picked up her and Imancipation of Mimi sold like Crazy.
point is, labels dont know shit and they themselves are the reason why some of their artists never blow because they think they know better.
