This yields a smooth richness, according to the brand, with notes of caramel and vanilla, accompanied by hints of baked apple and cinnamon. The spirit is aged at least four years in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels, and then “influenced” by rare Japanese Mizunara oak. Mercer + Prince also switches things up in the distillery. It’s accessible to all and appeals to a diverse audience, which was very important to me.” The liquor’s name, Mercer + Prince, references two cross streets close to Rocky’s heart in his native New York City. “Mercer + Prince is smooth in taste, disruptive in packaging, and close to my heart in name. “The bottle I designed is made to connect with the contemporary consumer,” says Rocky. The bottle design is the result of Rocky’s “napkin-sketch-turned-reality,” per the brand, and the inclusion of ready-to-drink cups was key, as he wanted customers “immediately open the bottle and pour a drink for themselves and a friend.” “I have been learning about whisky from all over the world for the past decade and wanted to defy the rules to create something unique, while honoring and respecting industry traditions.”īefore opening the Mercer + Prince bottle, customers will notice its distinct look - designed by Rocky himself - featuring two integrated cups and a squared shape (to lay on its side or sit upright). “I’m so excited and grateful to finally introduce Mercer + Prince to the world,” says Rocky, in a press release. Priced at $32, the latest batch of Mercer + Prince is expected to go as quickly as the first, so be sure to grab a bottle now. The whisky sold out in just a week, but has now been restocked at before hitting store shelves later this summer.

I mean, I think Em's best work is the Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and Infinite in that order but I really think you'd be hard pressed to say any one of those is DEFINITELY better than Black Star by Mo's Def and Talib Kweli or Aquemini by OutKast for example.If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.Ī$AP Rocky is throwing his hat in the (crowded) celebrity spirits ring with his own whisky. But I'm not even convinced that anything he's done is the highest peak for a rapper.
Encore was the first rap album I ever listened to and it got me into hip-hop for life. Eminem surely has some great albums that display incredible skills as a rapper, but are we just supposed to ignore the last decade+ where his work has not been up to that standard?ĭon't get me wrong, I love Eminem. However, what is sure is they have different criteria for what makes someone the greatest rapper of all time.Īlso there is always a tension in GOAT talks between whether it's more important to have the best peak performance or have consistently great performances. Seems like you like wordplay and a traditional hip hop sound based on the list you gave, but some people (not me at all) consider people like Future and Young Thug the GOAT for reasons I can't personally comprehend. At all.įirst off GOAT means different things to different people. I can't even fuxx with his music no more. no originality at all.im so freakin mad that I was a fan for so long. It's kind of funny that he Took this dude's whole style and everything and his 1st few albums were fiya!! but then his last one was complete shit.
Then he wants to act like he's the originator of it all and that he's soooo next level cuz omg I got this trippy ass new wave rap shit. And then he totally jacked his fashion, his music and rap style, I mean everything. Dude was a fan of spaceghostpurrp, sought him out and asked him to guide him basically. Songs as well as Raider Klan songs it's like from 2012 way way way before asap rocky or even the ASAP Crew. And look I used to be one of the biggest ASAP rocky fans until a few days ago, go check out spaceghostpurrp Dude is straight whack as hell and cant come up with something original to save his life.
U a bitch made dude who rips off other people's style and trybto pawn it off as your own. Everything is purple? Fuck blackland, I brought Harlem back?" "I'm the God of that " nahh rocky, u not. He did intentionally rip of spaceghostpurrp tho.
