Background

People wanna hear bars, they wanna hear some music, they wanna hear me rapping. I was fortunate enough to be named after one of the greatest emcees of all time. That's like being named Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson to me, you get what I'm saying? Or Kobe Bryant or something like that. I was named after Rakim. I was intimidated because those shoes are too big to fulfill or walk in. I got to a point where I felt like I was 26 [and] I felt Rap was shit. I just hated Rap [in] 2014. I'm getting a headache thinking about it. I got to a point where I just was like, 'I need to do something about this shit.' This is the return of the God emcee, I'm talking some lord shit on this next album, At.Long.Last.A$AP. A-L-L-A. It's lit.

— ASAP Rocky, interviewed by CRWN in April 2015. [4]

On March 16, 2014, announcements were made for two releases; including their first instrumental mixtape, Beauty and the Beast: Slowed Down Sessions (Chapter 1), and the ASAP Mob's collaborative album, L.O.R.D. ASAP Rocky revealed that he had been working on his second album. On September 26, 2014, ASAP Mob's founder ASAP Yams announced on his Tumblr account that the group scrapped the release for their collective's album, L.O.R.D., and instead named Rocky's second album as the label's next release. [5] On October 2, 2014, Rocky announced that he signed a contract for worldwide representation with William Morris Endeavor. [6]

On January 18, 2015, ASAP Rocky's mentor and business partner ASAP Yams died at the age of 26, which greatly affected the album's development. [7] Upon ASAP Yams' death, Rocky revealed that his second album would be executive produced by himself and Yams, alongside rapper Juicy J, and record producer Danger Mouse; [8] [9] [10] as well as collaborating with artists such as FKA Twigs and Lykke Li, with production by Clams Casino.

Title

After performing at the 2015's South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, ASAP Rocky revealed to Billboard , that the title to his second album would be A.L.L.A.. [11] On March 26, 2015, in an interview with GQ , Rocky deciphered the album's title: "I'm claiming ownership of my legacy. Look at it: At.Long.Last.A$AP. A-L-L-A. Like slang for 'Allah.' It's the return of the god MC. I'm named after Rakim, and I'm finally facing what it means: I was born to do this shit. And I hope I get to do it for a very long time." [12] [13]

Composition

Upon the release of the song "M's" (stylized "M'$"), Rocky revealed that he had also worked with New York City rapper Mos Def, as well as up-and-coming British musician Joe Fox (who is prominently featured on many tracks on the album). [14] Hector Delgado and Rocky say that they met Joe Fox while roaming the streets of London: "I met the man. He was a street performer. [I met him in] London. I was at Dean's Studio until 4 a.m. I came outside and we waiting for our Uber to go to Starbucks, tired. This kid comes with his guitar and stuff. He was out there playing and stuff and he comes," Rocky explained of his first encounter with Fox. "It was about 4 a.m. so there's nobody in the streets. He tried to give me a CD and shit. I was like, 'I'm not about to listen to that, man. Play something. You got your guitar.' He played it and I was just like, 'Stop man. Come on let's go.' That's where it started." [13] [15] [16]

At. Long. Last. ASAP was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 76, based on 33 reviews. [35] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 6.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. [34]

In The Daily Telegraph , Neil McCormick called it a "big, bold, madly ambitious album" on which Rocky "made a frequently dazzling spectacle, another reminder that hip hop is currently setting the bar very high indeed". [3] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said the rapper "doesn't absorb and repurpose his guests' styles. He's fully formed, a rapper who understands his talent in relation to that of his peers and that of his influences, unafraid of showing you his blueprint". [44] Alex Denney of NME said, "Playground misogyny aside, ALLA is a thrillingly focused follow-up that betrays its anxieties even as it mostly makes do with extolling the virtues of vice". [40] Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone credited the producers for sustaining the album's "expensive vibe" with "a sound that's at once tough and transporting — from the gospel-steeped 'Holy Ghost' to the interplanetary ass-shaker 'Electric Body' to the Rod Stewart-sampling soul fantasia 'Everyday' (featuring Miguel). Even at his trippiest, Rocky makes sure things never swirl off in a haze of incense and peppermints, with steely lyrics that often focus on inescapable truths". [42] Ben Thomas of The Guardian said, "Some might call it retrograde in the year of To Pimp a Butterfly , but rap is big enough to contain multitudes – including self-regard when it's this perfectly delivered". [38]

Rebecca Haithcoat was less impressed in Spin , highlighting the upbeat production of "LSD", "Excuse Me", and "Westside Highway", but finding the rest of the record often "despondent". [43] Jonathan Hatchman of Clash said, "As a collected body of work At.Long.Last.A$AP is far from dreadful, but taken as a whole it lacks the elements of depth and star quality that—having set the bar incredibly high with his debut—many expect from A$AP Rocky". [45] Mojo reviewer Andy Cowan gave it a lukewarm assessment, writing that while "there are few lyrical miracles in these scattershot songs obsessed with sex, drugs and shopping, in this intuitive stylist's mouth the words themselves are often beside the point". [39] Brooklyn Russell of Pretty Much Amazing said, "Even if we were to give ALLA's abysmal lyrics a pass, the production doesn't help, either.... Still, Rocky can, at times, be an engaging figure that radiates charisma when he wants". [46]
