RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)
A$AP Rocky
I think ChatGPT made this song…
Can you believe it has been five years since A$AP Rocky dropped his last project? In 2018, Russell Westbrook was still an all-star with crazy-ass stats; now he’s behind me on the Clippers’ depth chart. Anywho, while I respect that Rocky doesn’t just release stuff just to release it, I think we’re all due for something new from him. The good news is this: This year, he is scheduled to release a brand new project. The first single from it arrived today: “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n).”
The phrase “This will grow on me” doesn’t get used enough. However, I’ve used it for almost every single song I’ve heard A$AP drop since 2015. With that being said, I think “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” will grow on me. The song is powered by a booming, horn-driven beat by Pharrell that sounds more annoying than enjoyable, braggadocious lyrics that feel a little blah, and a bunch of useless different rap flows. As for the hook, it sounds like a bootleg AI program created it. I don’t love this s**t, but I do love that we’re inching closer and closer to a new project from Rocky.
I really be wondering how songs like this get cleared… Like, who told this ninja this song was good?
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
