It’s in moments like this that the guiding hand of Danger Mouse is evident. And “Excuse Me” moves with spaghetti western jitters. There’s a nod to Baltimore club music on “Electric Body.” “Fine Whine” has the syrupy affect of Rocky’s early tracks, his vocals pitched down to a slur.

“Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 (LPFJ2)” has the maniacal tension of early Three 6 Mafia. It’s fleet and sparkly, and also weighted with better adapted guests (Drake, 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar). On those songs, too, he rapped slowly but deliberately, obscuring syllabic tricks underneath a narcotic haze.īut ASAP Rocky’s biggest hit - the profane title shortens to “Problems” - is also his least representative. His earliest breakthroughs, “Purple Swag” and “Peso,” celebrated both directly and indirectly the chopped-and-screwed sound of Houston rap, and its attendant culture around prescription-strength cough syrup.

Rocky has always preferred life in the ooze, and drug music is what got him here. “I look for ways to say, ‘I love you,’/But I ain’t into making love songs/Baby, I’m just rapping to this LSD,” Rocky sing-raps languidly, finding feelings inside the high but losing grip of them just as easily. The one true love song on the new ASAP Rocky album, “At.,” is called “LSD.” A wobbly, slightly morbid affair, “LSD” is about the drug and the love you make - or can’t make - on it.
