Rocky isn't the most lyrical rapper ever obviously and he has his share of stinkers but he can write pretty evocatively when he wants to. This part of Suddenly comes to mind, creates a good image:
"Everybody had roaches but our roaches ain't respect us
On the park bench playing checkers, sipping nectar
Girbaud jeans with hologram straps and reflectors
We had cookouts and dirt bikes and dice games and fistfights
And fish fries and shootouts like one Sig with two rounds
And one click left two down, that's four kids but one lived
Left three dead, but one split, that one miss, that one snitched
That's everyday s***, s*** we used to that
Add it up, do the math with your stupid ass"
He's not Travis Scott that's for sure
his feature for Jean Dawson, his verse is really good, people underrated him when he puts a really good verse together, like purity where he’s pouring his damn heart out
You guys make a good point but Rocky isn't the most lyrical rapper ever obviously and he has his share of stinkers but he can write pretty evocatively when he wants to be, this part of Suddenly comes to mind

Yeah I still can’t believe that nigga in here the other day said TRAVIS SCOTT is a better rapper than Rocky
Long live got joints on it tho 1 train of course, Angels, PMW, Goldie .. but yeah imo it’s worse than Testing .
Long Live is his worst album. Was meh when it came out and aged like s***.

I said it must be cause a nigga got dough, extraordinary swag and a mouth full of gold
Listened to his albums again. ALLA and Testing are without a doubt his best projects. His debut mixtape didn’t really age that well but the nostalgia on that tape keeps it in my heart.

Yeah the highs are very highs but overrall the album is pretty terrible

That mixtape is a top 20 album ever for me
Its flawless til this day
so f***ing rude

ALLA is prob the best “druggy” sounding rap album oat imo
people always say ds2 or even rodeo(?) but like
f*** that

Such a shame how overlooked that album is
if you ask me he’s rapping solid on some of these loosies lyrically across the years, nothing crazy but his flow/delivery has kind of gone to s***
Dont know what happened honestly he was great on ALLA but god its hard to sit through Testing hes doing absolutely nothing on there
18mins until helicopter

his flow def got a little “lazy” but idk if that’s the correct word tbh
like he went crazy on the cozy tapes
but testing , he’s so laid back and the flows are so particular idk if he thought that style of rapping fit better for the beats on the album or what
