Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Though he’s still got style on the mic, Ferg’s latest is a regression into the gleeful ignorance that colored his earlier work.

HNHH
Ferg feels lost and directionless on Still Striving, like an impersonator in an A$AP Ferg mask glanced at the blueprint and ran with it. While there are a few instances where that lovable personality begins to seep through, it quickly gets overshadowed by unimaginative elements.
-
DJ Booth
Ferg has the style and charisma to be a superstar, but 'Still Striving' features too many guests and not enough Ferg.
-
Paste
Still Striving isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s a solid record. Ferg has the chops to be considered one of his generation’s greats, but in terms of creative vision and originality, he’s still not quite there.

HipHop N More
Is it a ridiculously fun project that heats up the summer once last time before it comes to a close? Absolutely, and that‘s all fans of Ferg have been asking for.

The Musical Hype
East coast rapper A$AP Ferg comes back strong with his third studio album, ‘Still Striving.’ One word: bangers.

Rap Reviews
As it is though “Still Striving” isn’t a bad release. Some songs like “Aww Yeah” featuring Lil Yachty are just silly AutoTuned fun, and some tracks like “One Night Savage” featuring MadeinTYO are dark and menacing, but somewhere between the two is a talented member of the Mob who has even more potential to be a breakout star than he’s shown so far.

Ratings Game Music
I feel like Ferg was able to morph himself into many different rappers on this album, something that I think is important because of all the artists that are featured on it.
-
Rhyme Junkie
The nostalgia factor of having this spectrum of rappers on the same project is certainly intriguing to the prospective hip-hop listener, but the end product is unlikely to coax many into letting this album play past the third or fourth track.
-
HipHop DX
Still Striving is yet another noticeable notch in his growing catalog that might just make his fellow Mob members, specifically Rocky, understand it’s time to really start putting in work.

The Cluster
Ferguson is exciting, lyrical and real. It is worth all of your time to at least listen to a couple songs off his albums. It will then be clear why A$AP deserves all his acclaim.
-
XXL Mag
The mixtape can be fun, but fans looking for more of Ferg's growth that he's shown on past projects may come up disappointed.
