A$AP Ferg: "Hood Pope" Posted: 19 Aug 2013 11:10 AM PDT For a while, it seemed like Rocky was the only A$AP Mob member with star potential, but in recent months, A$AP Ferg has proven himself worthy as well. Like Rocky has done all along, Ferg is taking cues from prime-era Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, as the new single "Hood Pope" finds the Harlem native vocalizing in a melancholy singsong cadence with an easy swing to it a la "Tha Crossroads". Like a darker strain of trap as reimagined by Ryan Hemsworth, it's all aerial glints floating around slowly ticking hi-hats and colossal kick-drums. Those therapeutic sounds allow Ferg to express post-fame paranoia: "And I carry the heat/ And I sleep with the chrome/ 'Cause I'm in some beef/ And they want my dome."

We managed to get an advanced copy of it and it’s as good as you’d expect, even with some comedy in too, (world’s best cry juke edit?
