A$ap Rocky is putting out an album in just a few months, and just had a child recently with Rihanna, and now he is expressing his frustrations with rap music at the moment. Rocky spoke with Jerrod Carmichael for an interview and had this to say, “Rap is in its adolescence and it’s been stuck here since Soulja Boy, before, everybody looked 35 and up. When Lil Wayne and JAY-Z and T.I. and Jeezy and [Rick] Ross was on, rappers looked old. Like, we had Lil Bow Wow and that was it.” He went on to say, “That all changed with the internet and self-releasing. Now, rap is stuck in this braggadocious, adolescent space. It’s not as mature.” Beyond that, Rocky said that he has been working a lot lately with artist Tyler, The Creator. “We blocked out the last two weeks and have been working on a lot of music, but I’m wrapping up this album right now, about to direct a few of these videos.” Rocky seems to be showing his ambitious nature with all of his projects as of late.
