Background

On August 3, 2012, an unfinished tagged version of the song, without Schoolboy Q, was leaked titled "Pussy Money Weed", which was included on a DJ Clue mixtape.[1] On December 18, the song was leaked along with the rest of Long. Live. ASAP.[2] Schoolboy Q has also said him and Rocky might release a collaborative album together, due to their chemistry.[3]

Critical reception

"PMW (All I Really Need)" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. The New Zealand Herald named the song one of his greatest hits.[4] The Guardian called the song a fantastic moment of the album, praising Schoolboy Q's hurtle rhymes.[5] The A.V. Club also praised Q's guest appearance as show stealing.[6] XXL said the song re-captures the chemistry between Q and Rocky found in previous collaborations “Brand New Guy” and “Hands on the Wheel,” which "ends up as an entertaining heavy hitter." Drowned In Sound would praise the song's production.[7] However NME put down the song as having predictable misogynistic lyric themes.[8] Fact said the three words that stand for "PMW", pussy, money, weed, basically describe the whole album's lyrical thrust.[9]
