At. Long. Last. ASAP Review

A$AP Yams, who shaped Rocky's taste and the Mob's whole aesthetic, died in January 2015, and the record carries it: he is credited as an executive producer and his voice is on the closing Back Home. Danger Mouse pushes the sound away from Houston toward something hazier and more rock-inflected, which is how L$D, a slow and lovely acid-trip ballad, and Everyday, with Rod Stewart, Miguel and Mark Ronson, sit beside tracks with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Future.

At 66 minutes it is too long, and for every Jukebox Joints there is a stretch that coasts. Rocky's rapping is sharper than on the debut, but the lyrics are still more mood than meaning.

It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and has been certified double platinum. Of his albums it is the one that sounds most like nobody else, and the one that has aged best.
