A$AP Rocky

8-16-13

Several days ago, our Dad asked my brothers, sister and myself to watch and LISTEN to a music video by a rap artist named A$AP Rocky. The title of the song is “Long Live Asap”. Afterwards, our Dad wanted to know each of our opinions regarding the video and the song. My little sister was the only one outside of myself that had an opinion: she said that he sounds like Lil-Wayne. I believe the feel and sound of the song is very unusual and has a darkness to it that can be misleading. When it was all said and done, I was assigned to write an essay about the song, due to its nature.
