“I be that pretty motherf**ker HARLEMS what I’m repping”
First and for most, Happy Birthday Rocky! In 2011 the A$AP MOB splashed on to the scene with the release of Live Love A$AP by non-other than that pretty motherfucker A$AP ROCKY. At first this mix tape received mixed reviews from people utterly hating the southern flow used by a New York rapper, to a new culture of new school trill rap fans. However you feel about the rhyme style used by rocky, this mix tape has had a huge impact on the rap game. From Rocky getting signed for the innumerous price of 3 million dollars to change of what is considered “New York” rap. The production on this mix tape is AMAZING! Rocky worked with many up and coming producers from A$AP Ty to Clams Casino, and none of the producers let him down. Track after track you are hit with uniquely airy and bass heavy beats that takes you into the purple world of the A$AP MOB. However this isn’t a mix tape filled with banging beats and trill concepts Rocky gets on every track and does his thing, in a few tracks there are lyrical lapses but his southern/ bone thugs and harmony flow usually makes up for that.
The A$AP MOB has taken a lot of flak for being from New York and having southern influenced flows, I say F**K that on Live Love A$AP rocky used the southern rhyme scheme to convey his New York Story. This mixture of Southern slang and New York Brashness combined for very different sound that has swept the nation.

Remember when a white boy made you love college and want to attend it? And when you got there realized it wasn’t like his music video? Yeah I think that happened to a lot of people, but enough of all that. The mainstream audience may only remember Asher Roth for his hit “I love College” but he graduated college and now is of one of Hip Hop best young lyricists, with a complex delivery.
Pabst & Jazz consists of great production by Blended Babies the beats on this mixtape are great if you’re into smooth/mellow beats. Asher is also a great lyricist his flow and rhyming skills are impeccable, he reminds me of a smart new school Big L. If you’re vocabulary and common knowledge isn’t up to par you won’t like him, because people don’t like what they don’t understand.
This mixtape has its pros and cons. Cons: being that it has too many features including Action Bronson, Chip Tha Ripper, Casey Veggies, A$AP Twelvy and plenty others, also there are a few tracks that were basically skits which isn’t needed at all on mixtapes. The pros: if you’re looking for lyrics, delivery, flow, beats, good hooks Pabst & Jazz has it. Overall its a great mixtape go download it and stop comparing every white rapper to Eminem cuz Asher is far from being like him and stop the stereotype of Eminem being the only good white rapper listen to this tape and you’ll be proven wrong.
