Verse of the Day: A$AP Rocky - "Leaf"

Today has been very long, and I'm hungry. And there's not much food in the fridge. Sigh.

After the jump, your Verse of the Day, and A$AP-related talk.

Tired of these rappers, tired of these jackers
Tired of these dances by these backpackers
And I'm sick of all these hipsters
I'm sick of phony niggas
I'm sticking to these bitches, cause I'm sick of all these sisters
I'm sick and tired of tryna survive, I'm sick tired of my environment
I'm sick and tired of feeling deprived, I'm one of a kind, when in my climate
I'm sick and tired of your facade and all of your lying and all your diamonds
I'm basically sick and tired of feeling sick and tired (ASAP)
Born in money makin' Manhattan
Every nigga on my block wanna be a main attraction
Shout my nigga? shout my nigga Madre
If you disrespect them niggas then I'm polishin' the nadre
And I'm coming to your casa for your madre and padre
Comprende? Most of these niggas been gay or they strange
They say I sound like Andre mixed with Kanye
Little bit of Max, little bit of Wiz, little bit of that, little bit of this
Get off my dick

Let's clear this up: this was originally "Take 1", and it was Main Attrakionz featuring A$AP Rocky. (My love affair with Main Attrakionz, in case you're interested.) It fits in aesthetically on Rocky's debut tape, but fits in better on 808s & Dark Grapes II. Somewhere between the hype surrounding Live.Love.A$AP. reaching it's fervor pitch, and it's actual release (a ridiculous small amount of time - like maybe 24 hours) I got sick of A$AP.

I'd been intrigued by the A$AP crew, intrigued by the concept, I liked "Out of This World", and suddenly, I was sick of it all. Which is weird, but it's how taste works. Was it hipster tendencies? Did all their attention come to soon for me? Maybe, or maybe I just wasn't a big enough fan of the music from the get-go. I listened to the tape, a couple times through, and that was enough for me. I always give his stuff a go, because he's buzzing, and potentially zeitgeist-y, but honestly, Danny Brown should be where he is. He's a much more talented, interesting, crazy, and progressive artist. I guess he's just not cool enough to the fifteen year old Tumblr crowd. Sigh.
