So in that regard, what he is claiming is that he made New York relevant on the hip-hop scene once again.ĪSAP Rocky, who is also well known in fashion circles, then proceeds to give a shoutout to high-end bag brand known as Goyard. And within his Goyard backpack is some “boof”, i.e. the late-aughts, no hip-hop artist from NY was hitting, which is sorta true.
However, in his own words, ASAP Rocky has elaborated that at the time he came out, i.e. In our eyes, this may be the most braggadocious statement of this entire piece. Meanwhile from a listening perspective, the pre-chorus is perhaps the most easily-discernible part of this song. And for the most part, Rocky uses it to shoutout his clique, presenting them as robbers in the process. He also claims to have “put New York on the map”. This time he presents himself as being akin to a global womanizer. However, the very last line of the verse has the rapper ‘praying to God that he doesn’t overdose’.Īnd as explained by ASAP he meant that expression quite literally since, on top of favoring intoxicants himself, a couple of people close to the rapper, including former bandmate ASAP Yams, lost their lives due to drug abuse. This is understandable considering that he spent a part of his living in New York City.īut before closing the passage out, Rocky goes back to the subject of women. In other words, to this day the rapper is going to court for incidents that happened some time in the past. (And to note, this was before ASAP’s infamous 2019 incarceration in Sweden.) He also expresses appreciation for Latino culture. So for instance, he notes that there are ‘cases he’s still trying to beat from a long ago’. However, the bulk of the passage is dedicated to what was alluded to above, i.e. Then, the sole verse of the song also handles a couple of different topics. For starters, ASAP sorta elaborates on his interactions ‘with his b–ch’, i.e.
And in that regard he makes two statements. First is that he hasn’t gotten lost in the game, as many people may think. And secondly, he’s not cool with strangers trying to get too close to him all because he’s a celebrity. But outside of that, the intro and chorus most consistently deal with the topic of Rocky’s fame.
