A$AP Rocky is looking to gain some momentum ahead of the arrival of his new album Don't be stupid this fall, and put the rap world on alert when he teamed up with J. Cole on Friday (September 6) for “Ruby Rosary,” which some fans believe may be a rip off of Drake.
The Alchemist takes the keys and provides the intoxicating production. Rocky kicks things off with a pair of smooth verses bragging about his drop and his place in the game. “It's funny how I gave birth to so many sons without ovaries,” he raps.
Fans speculated that the Harlem native rekindled his feud with Drake and sent more subliminal shots at the 6 God throughout “Ruby Rosary.” “N—wanna smoke with me, tell him, 'Get up, Hercules'/ Hercules, tell him to pull up, tell him to get up, 33,” he raps in what some perceived as a pun on Drake's “Push Ups” diss track.
Rocky continues to snipe, “Who in your top five? Haha (F–k your first five)/ I ain't fresh to death, b–h, I'm buried alive/ I heard the dawg talkin' funny, like it's Family Guy/ I take care of n— like I'm Mary or Bob, I've promised God/ You gotta fight when you marry the mob.”
J. Cole comes in from the bullpen and sets the pace with a fiery assist while using a common flow from his repertoire. “What happens when rappin doesn't matter anymore? I can still do a stack on my shine/ I don't want to go back to the political situation/ I'm a comfort junkie and I do what I want,” he admits.
“J Cole ain't Drake, but ASAP Rocky sure did” one listener tweeted. “That buried live line was clever.”
Added another one“This family bar from Asap Rocky is really the worst diss bar against drake out of this whole rap beef.”
A$AP addressed his situation with Drake on the August cover Bulletin boardand he doesn't give a damn about Drizzy.
“You have to realize, sure n—what it was like throwing shots for years. I’m not in the middle of this s–t,” Rocky said. “I don't reciprocate like that right now. Got bigger fish to fry than some boys. It's real beef out there. It's real. N—as I grow weary and weary every day. N—as sniping n—as every day. This little kitten is nothing.”
“Ruby Rosary” marks the first time Rocky and J. Cole have collided on a track. It's also Rocky's third single following the arrival of “Tailor Swif” and “Highjack,” which debuted at No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August.
