After releasing a series of acclaimed mixtapes over the previous three years, rapper A$AP Rocky dropped his first official album in 2013, titled Long.Live.A$AP. His already-primed fanbase quickly took to the album, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart. Fans also snapped up tickets as he hit the tour trail hard to support the set, performing concerts at theaters and large clubs with members of his A$AP Mob collective, a group of rappers, producers and others who joined forces in 2007 due to their shared sense of music, art and style. Born Rakim Mayers (named after the Eric B. & Rakim rapper) in Harlem, A$AP Rocky's smooth, slow flow is more heavily influenced by Southern rappers like UGK and Devin the Dude than by New York acts. He began rapping at age eight, and in his late teens turned to the skill as a way out of the lifestyle that had led to the murder of his brother and landed his father in prison. Now that he's a star in his own right and the ringleader of one of hip-hop's most influential collectives, it appears he's found the way.
It was the best show I've been to in a long time!!
1st performer was some garbage. Then there was at least an hour of intermission. Asap performed a sick set but it was a little too short. Overall the special guests need to be better and a longer set. Sick show.
Well the ASAP Rocky show at the National in Richmond was...interesting. The opening act Joe Threat who was from Richmond got booed off the stage probably 20 minutes into his set. It was a tough crowd, it was so awkward but extremely funny as well. When the venue closed the curtains on dude (ouch!) everyone was hype cause we all figured ASAP would be on his way soon. Well it took him OVER AN HOUR to get on stage. By the time he came on stage I was so tapped out from standing with a bunch of rowdy kids I really couldnt get into it as much as I have liked. My brother and I escaped to the balcony and watched the show from there. ASAP Rocky himself puts on a decent show. He had great crowd interaction jumping into the crowd several times and pretty good between track banter. He's still a young buck in the game but he actually did pretty well. However; I guess because he came on so late his set was super short which bummed me out.
The concert was great!! Rocky did his thing and was in the crowd partying with us sooooooooooo many times! He goes on each side do everyone felt the love equally lol and everyone else (ASAP Twelvy, ASAP Ferg, ASAP Nast...etc) came and mingled! I loved it minus ppl squishing me ( I'm little). If he ever comes back...IM THERE :) Love them!
