It's official: A$AP Ferg has gone insane. The New York rapper and A$AP Mob member has been dropping singles relentlessly since last week, but the output has been relatively underwhelming thus far. However, "Doe-Active" seems to break that boring streak.
This track looks like it'll be dropping on Ferg's forthcoming mixtape, and it features an electro-trap instrumental with a hard-hitting finish. As far as Ferg's rapping goes, these are some of the oddest flows I've ever heard him deliver. His wild inflections and screams put him just shy of the energy level on a track like "I Can't Wait." There's even some unexpected Adam Levine name-drops in the 2nd half.
The only thing that separates him from ODB--or maybe even Lil Wayne at this point--on this track is Ferg seems to be conscious of how little sense he's making. While I love the explosive character of the track, there isn't much in terms of a song at the core of this thing. I can't see myself returning to it anytime soon. Maybe it'll sound better in the context of this forthcoming tape. I can only hope and assume that the Trap Lord works in mysterious ways.
