At.Long.Last.A$AP is a fantastically dense hip-hop album, worthy of its association with recent instant classics like Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and the aforementioned Drake surprise album.
A.L.L.A makes the best and most natural use of a diverse cast of cameos since Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
A raw masterstroke, A.L.L.A. is a depiction of underground millionaire culture that should have "think of the children" conservatives shitting their pants.
Some might call it retrograde in the year of To Pimp a Butterfly, but rap is big enough to contain multitudes – including self-regard when it’s this perfectly delivered.
All things considered, this is a solid album. Fans of old Rocky will be happy to hear he hasn’t left them behind and new fans will have a plethora of options to choose from.
On At.Long.Last.A$AP., he takes a creative risk and lets the fans reap the rewards. At long last.
At.Long.Last.A$AP feels epochal. It has the strange sense about it of a new rap monument being erected.
The bold effort unfolds as it wants and deserves, so think of the album as A$AP in Wonderland, or the cloud rap genre revived and improved, or a sunshine kaleidoscope album à la Prince's Around the World in a Day that also comes with a touching and bittersweet tribute.
At.Long.Last.A$AP is a project that shows growth within A$AP Rocky. Although the Harlem rapper rose to stardom from being inspired by southern Hip Hop, his sophomore project is a diverse project with surprising sounds.
On A.L.L.A, Lord Flacko's pen-work is cavernous, production multifaceted and theatrics opulent.
While this record certainly echoes the who’s who of designer brands name-dropped on Long.Live.ASAP, A.L.L.A is Rocky’s “locked in the studio with a sheet of acid” record.
At.Long.Last.A$AP takes the gritty East Coast classicism and syrup-drippin' Houston screwiness of his killer 2013 debut, Long.Live.A$AP, and adds an extra level of psychedelic sprawl via a newfound taste for acid.
Brush those lowlights aside and what remains is a glossy, surprising album, albeit one without the obvious radio hits of 2013’s studio debut Long.Live.A$AP.
For the most part A$AP Rocky deftly negotiates the difficult second album hurdle, switching up his braggadocious flows with the nonchalance of an old stager.
At.Long.Last.A$AP is mindless fun at best, perfunctory at worst.
At one point or another, At.Long.Last.A$AP is held back by everything from the production to the collaborators, but nothing is more disappointing than Rocky himself, apparently still incapable of making himself the star of his own records.
Perhaps the apathy of At Long Last ASAP signals some sort of finality for Rocky as a bonafide threat within contemporary rap music.
People will dig for meaning and find it if they want to, but if Live. Love. A$AP. was the start of Rocky’s trip, then At. Long. Last. A$AP. makes for one hell of a disappointing comedown.
I used to love this album, but so many of these songs are ruined by these slow LSD laced moments. I used to not care about it that much, but past Rocky projects work so much better without these intentional blemishes. So many songs are botched with ideas that make no sense, removing what sensible ideas did work.
This album is overall positive. Some songs on here are unbelievable fantastic. When it works, it’s incredible. When it doesn’t work, it’s disappointing
One of the best and most creative Rap albums I've ever heard. I have heard it before multiple times, but that was YEARS ago, so I decided to revisit it.
I know I'm kind of notorious for completely switching up on Rap music, from being a huge fan, to completely despising a lot of it, but unlike some other people, I admit when something is good and I don't intentionally dislike the genre. There are still stuff I love from it. Yet there's just something very specific I look for in music nowadays ... read more
This holds the record for most dope beat switches on one album
This is on the level of Live.Love.A$AP, I’d say in a few different aspects. In terms of production, rapping, features, charisma, and top tier Rocky songs, this album is up to par with his debut mixtape. I don’t think it reaches the level of Live.Love.A$AP in terms of consistency, but that isn’t saying too much, because this is still a super consistent tape all the way through.
Tracks such as"Holy ... read more
I love it. Best highlights of Rocky, Holy Ghost got some great wordplay, lyrics and flow, Jukebox Joints is his best song, Everyday’s is on of his best songs in general and my favourite hit song from him, and L$D has his best singing performance to date. Not the best 2015 project, but a damn good one.
Why would you give this less than an 80
Listened to all of his albums in the last two days and this is definitely my fave
