1 – 1Train – A$AP Rocky – Great sample to kick it in, this is as clever as you can possibly get when it comes down to money and success with a virtual who’s who of first tier young rappers (I mean two years ago, of course): Kendrick, Action Bronson, Danny Brown… and a great great hook – A

2 – Fucking Problems – A$AP Rocky – A huge song for him and you can say Drake helped, he did, just his voice is a hook at this point, but it still is Rocky’s moment. It was huge on New Year’s Eve last year – A-

3 – LSD – A$AP Rocky – One of his greatest moment, it sounds like neither alt psychedelia nor alt hip hop, a heavy breathing fuck drug song – A

5 – Jukebox Joints – A$AP Rocky – Another sex song, Kweezy doesn’t steal it either though Joe Fox kills the chorus – A-

6 – Everyday – A$AP Rocky – Talk about a whose who of pop: Rod Stewart, Miguel (who does a great vocal) and Mark Ronson – B+

7 – Good For You – Selena Gomez – A little whatever though it was gonna blow up big if it hasn’t yet, Rocky doesn’t add that much – B

9 – Not The Only One Remix – Sam Smith – Rocky gets romantic, if you consider watching a girl cry herself to sleep romantic – B+

10 –  Slime Season – N.O.R.E. – The great old school rapper finds the perfect answer to snapchat – B+
