"Goldie" is a song by American hip hop recording artist ASAP Rocky. It was released on April 27, 2012 as the lead single from his debut studio album Long. Live. ASAP (2013).[1] The song was produced by Hit-Boy, who wanted to play off Rocky's laid-back style of rapping, accompanied by intentional vocal distortions, to produce a sound bordering along comatose. Beneath the beat, Hit-Boy added a reverberating chant meant to add a sinister atmosphere to the track.[2]
The music video, which was filmed mostly in Paris, France and directed by Rocky himself, was released on his Vevo channel on May 3, 2012.[3] It features a major appearance by ASAP Worldwide co-founder ASAP Yams.
Complex named the song #30 on the 50 best songs of 2012 list.[4] Rolling Stone named the song #27 on their 50 best songs of 2012 list.[5] BET named the song the No. 35 music video of 2012 on their year-end Notarized countdown.[6]
