A$AP Ferg might think of himself as the ultimate lover-man like admitted music and fashion idol Shabba Ranks, but if there’s one thing he for sure inspires in women, it’s fire bars. Get past the eyebrow-raising guest spots on Floor Seats II from Marilyn Manson, Lil Wayne, Tyga, and Diddy, and you’re rewarded with scene-stealing verses from rising Harlem MC ANTHA, Atlanta’s Mulatto, and the one and only Nicki Minaj. The project even has an “Intermission,” which features late-’90s-era mixtape-style drops from NBA studs Dame Lillard, Jaylen Brown, and JaVale McGee. The production—as is to be expected from a Ferg album—skews turnt, provided this go by dependable names like Hit-Boy, Tay Keith, and Frankie P. As far as a continuation of an idea, Floor Seats II is an album like its predecessor, full of the kind of high-energy big-name collaboration rap that sounds most at home soundtracking fashion shows and time-outs during professional basketball games.
