Despite my typical taste in hip hop, I'm digging this A$AP Rocky record.  God knows I'm not the audience he is shooting for, and the lyrics are pretty inline with the typical dumb pop rap that dominates the charts, but something about this stands out...the tone maybe, and definitely the music.  I'd likely listen to an instrumental version of this, the music is so good.  A$AP has a nice, pleasant voice and flow, something I don't say too often about today's popular rappers.  I can't imagine my words are going to move any more units so I'm not going to waste them, but for anyone on the fence this record is worth a listen.
