A little over 6 months ago hardly anyone knew who A$AP Rocky was. However, he unexpectedly kicked open the doors of hip hop after recently gaining a huge following online due to a couple of well crafted videos. The seemingly overnight success story has many people wondering, what is so special about the Harlem rapper? Well for one, A$AP Rocky\u2019s does not embody the New York style that most people are used to. His diverse lyrical technique is like a mixture of the Midwest and the south while ever so slightly repping Harlem. Along with that, he has a charisma that leaves his audience with a sense of adoration for him. His viral hit \u201cPurple Swag\u201d reached over $1 million views but still A$AP Rocky did not get much respect from radio until \u201cPeso\u201d was released in August 2011. Despite that, it was \u201cPurple Swag\u201d that got him his meetings with major labels. This eventually led to a 3 million dollar deal with Sony\/RCA\/Polo Grounds which gives him and his A$AP Mob creative control. For most of us, the abbreviation ASAP means \u2018as soon as possible\u2019. But for A$AP Rocky and his A$AP crew, it means \u2018Always Strive and Prosper\u2019. Either way, he is living up to the meaning.<\/p>\n
