Inside A$AP Rocky's 'Don't Be Dumb' Album Release Party

[Gifted Gibbon]

idk why ppl need so much drama to celebrate an album drop lol this A$AP Rocky party sounds like a total trip - dim red lights, customized Puma kicks... it's all just one big marketing stunt but idc, the guy's been working hard on that album and it's dope. i mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned hip hop party with some celeb cameos? it's like he took every music festival and concert and mashed them into one epic night btw, Rihanna showing up is basically the ultimate flex

man I'm low-key hyped for this album already lol just saw the pics from the party and Tim Burton's aesthetic is EVERYTHING those Puma sneaker customization bars are a whole mood, i need to cop some ASAP Rocky merch ASAP also love how he brought his squad and music industry peeps together for an event that feels like a celebration of Harlem culture gotta give it up for the A$AP Mob crew too

omg u guyz what is up w/ A$AP Rocky? he just dropped his new album & already throwing a sick party ! i mean, who else hosts an exclusive listening party in NYC & has Tim Burton design their own cover art? the way it was set up @ Lavan Midtown was straight fire , dim red lights, specialty cocktails, personalized Puma sneakers... it's like he took over the whole venue

anywayz, i'm defo a fan of A$AP Rocky now . he knows how to put on a show & give back to his roots (harlem rep is everything ). saw so many cool celebs in attendance tho... lil mama, busta rhymes, rihanna... it's like hip-hop royalty

anyway, can't wait 2 hear the album . from what i've heard so far, it's gonna be lit . have u guyz listened to "Don't Be Dumb" yet?

I'm so over these exclusive listening parties now They're just an excuse for A$AP Rocky to show off and make everything about him And don't even get me started on the Tim Burton-designed cover art, it's just so... extra The party itself was probably lit for 5 minutes max But honestly, who needs that kind of hype when you can just stream the album on Spotify like a normal human being? Also, I mean I'm glad Rocky is still repping his Harlem roots and all that but some people are gonna be way too busy trying to get their hands on those limited-edition Puma kicks to actually listen to the music

Ugh, this party sounds like a total vibe fest! I mean, who needs an actual listening session when you can just have a whole event with A$AP Rocky and Tim Burton's aesthetic? And don't even get me started on the Puma sneaker customization bar - what a waste of resources. You could've put that money towards recording new music instead. But hey, I guess it's cool that Jon Batiste and Rihanna showed up to support Rocky. At least he didn't invite any industry trolls. And btw, "Don't Be Dumb" sounds like a total clickbait title - what even is the album about?
