Charlamagne Tha God wonders if Drake feud is necessary for A$AP Rocky to remain relevant
The radio legend questions whether the excitement surrounding Rocky’s eagerly anticipated album is based on genuine hits or just witty jabs at Drizzy.
Is A$AP Rocky’s own pettiness overshadowing his artistic abilities? After the rapper finally released his eagerly awaited project, Don’t Be Dumb, Charlamagne Tha God is asking that question.
The host of The Breakfast Club just got into Rocky’s new song “Stole Ya Flow,” which has everyone on social media thinking he’s criticizing Drake.
“Well, he’s talking about a rapper with a BBL, he’s talking about stealing a flow, and stealing somebody’s girl,” co-host Lauren LoRosa explained after playing a clip of the song, which left Charlamagne perplexed as to why it was such a huge issue.
Charlamagne was undoubtedly taken aback by the reference to cosmetic surgery, and in response he exclaimed, “Drake had a BBL?!” The lyrics, according to his co-hosts, were a reference to the crazy allegations that circulated throughout Drake’s back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar. Charlamagne became serious about how Rocky is being talked about these days while everyone else in the room was laughing.
He informed his audience, “Every time I hear anything about ASAP Rocky’s music, it’s him criticizing Drake.” Does anyone think, ‘Yo, ASAP’s music is just good’? That is no longer something I hear. I never hear people say things like, “Hey, Rocky just put a hot record.” The only thing I hear is, “Hey, Rocky made fun of Drake.” After that, someone will play, and you’ll listen and say, “All right?”
The song’s lyrics are really direct and seem to touch on Drake and Rihanna’s past, as the latter now has a family with Rocky. Rocky raps, “First you stole my flow; so I stole yo’ b*tch. N****s getting BBLs, lucky we don’t body shame,” on the song. splattering dirt on Rocky’s name, then turning around and playing the copy game.
We all know who he is referring to, Rocky previously implied in an interview, but it appears Charlamagne is seeking more than a feud.
He believes that in order to get people talking, the “Fashion Killa” may need to demonstrate that he is still capable of creating a record that doesn’t rely on the drama of a former buddy turned enemy.
