Good album to start 2013 off with a new york and southern mixed style yet the album is seems it was over done in production and needs to focus on the lyrics more but the album is a great debut for the 24 year old.

Great album. One of easiest hip-hop albums for me to sit down and listen to all the way through. If you can give this album some time, I think you'll appreciate A$AP Rocky's progression as an artist.

Not as good as Live. Love. ASAP. Still a great album. What it lacks in lyrical prowess, it makes up for with incredible beats, unique style, panache, and A$AP Rocky's talented voice.

this album is fantastic debut for A$AP Rocky, its of the same technique as Live Love A$AP. I found that this album is a complete classic, my fav. tracks are 1 Train,Long Live A$AP, LVL, Goldie and PMW(all i really need)

This album speaks to the emptiness and desirability of fame and our consumer culture. This central paradox is on display in most of the songs. A beautiful album. Full of innovative beats, full of guest rappers at the height of their talents, full of irony, full of awesomeness! Long Live Rocky as long as he fearlessly keeps exploring as an artist.

This album is great! Though this may not be as amazing as his prior mix tape. A$AP showcases a variety of monster beats and producers, his rap skills are by far beyond expectations with his flow and rhymes. Best tracks on the album are: Long Live ASAP, F**kin Problems, Wild For the Night, Phoenix, and Ghetto Symphony.

There are a few highlights, such as "Goldie", "Fuckin' Problems", and "1Train", but otherwise, this one's a poor effort and below average at best. The album is honestly just boring. Aside from the tracks mentioned, they all seem to sound the same and the beat selection was hit-and-miss as there were just some dud beats. Huge disappointment of an album and a sign that Rocky needs to head back to the drawing board.… Expand

I'm giving a zero to this album and this artist just because he stole his name from Aesop Rock, who is a superior artist compared to this child. Oh, and this album and "asap rocky's" music in general is terrible.

Apart from his single, "Goldie", Asap doesn't bring anything new and comes off as a pretentious kid in most of his underwhelming overhyped songs. Pretty disappointing.

A$AP's debut album is a bit different from his mixtape. The production is a lot more diverse and the raps have certainly improved. The thing about A$AP is that no matter how much you love or hate him, you have to admit he has his own style. And that's what makes this album work. He's willing to do more on his album then he did on his mixtape. Songs like Goldie and the title track are his anthem style tracks. Something that gives you that kind of boost. Songs like PMW, Hell, Pain and LVL are his smoother tracks. 1 Train is the harder hitting song and Suddenly is kind of a retrospective song. Each of the songs have their own personality which you didn't really get from his mixtape. Still, I'd say the mixtape is better because as far as songs, production and overall feel. I like the smoother more spacey songs on Live.Love.A$AP a lot better than Long.Live.A$AP. Plus songs like Fashion Killa in all honesty are unnecessary. Plus the song Problem seems like an after thought. Kendrick doesn't go nearly as hard on that song as he would on 1 Train. But still for a major label debut, I enjoyed this project a lot. It takes a lot more risks and for the most part they work. If you're a fan of Rocky, go support it.… Expand

This album is a great first step for Rocky's career because it show you what he is capable of 1. A Great Emcee (don't believe me listen to suddenly, and 1 train) and 2. A very smart man for wisely choosing what to put in this album. This album could have been Live Love A$AP 2 but he went the opposite way and made a gem

A$AP

The album is a blend of innovation and freshness of A$AP Rocky. Large collaborations like Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Drake make Long.Live.A$AP of superior quality and tracks as "Goldie" (produced by Hit-Boy) or "Fuckin 'Problems" are a clear example of top track. Although many will not be agree, this is one of the best albums of recent years.

This is the first time I have ever listened to A$AP Rocky's music, so I didn't have much of an idea about his reputation or what kind of rap music he made. Judging by the critical reviews, I expected great things, but I've been left a bit puzzled as to where all this great praise comes from.
A$AP may not be a terrible rapper, but I wouldn't rank him as one of the best. His raps are not as ridiculous and infantile as some rappers, but neither are they outstanding and groundbreaking. The big standouts are Wild For The Night, a dubstep infused number that worked in a way that I didn't expect, 1 Train, a brilliant emotional piece, Phoenix, a beautiful spiritual sounding track and I Come Apart, the lovely bonus track featuring vocals by Florence Welch. Unfortunately, everything else is just ok. There are no bad tracks on the album, although Fashion Killa is extremely mediocre and is so out of place that I don't know how it made the final cut.
There is talent here and A$AP just needs to expand it and develop it a bit more. A halfway decent major label debut is quite rare these days, though, so he is on the right track.… Collapse

How could a hip hop album so creative be so fun? buy the CD and support this type of music. A$AP Rocky is the best to rep Harlem since Big L. It's fair to say ASAP met expectations with this album.

A$AP hits fire on this album. All the beats bang and I like the progression of these lyrics from the first one. Favorite track was "Suddenly," but i love what they did with the video for "Live.Love.A$AP." Here's the link to decide for yourself: http://bit.ly/XWb3WP

This album is crazy, lots of new, fresh sounds........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

his mixtape was way better. 1 train is easily the best song on the album. pretty much because of the guest verses. asap rocky practically relies on his beats. he sold out

Outstanding Rap Album!
