Pharrell posts an additional picture of him and ASAP Rocky in the studio during their recording session. Excited to hear what they cooked up.

“I don’t give a f— about your business. Man, if you’re gay we can be friends. If you’re straight, we can be friends. I’m not gay, I don’t plan on being gay, I don’t condone it and I’m not sayin’ I’m against it. I really don’t give a f— and I don’t think anyone should care about what another man’s preference is… unless he’s interested, if you know what I’m sayin’.

Who gives a f—?I like women. I love women. I’m not going to not be your friend because you like men. As long as you’re a great person and, aside from that, y’know, you don’t bother me and make me uncomfortable, then let’s be friends, dude. It doesn’t matter. You don’t see people for being gay.

People need to leave gay people the f— alone. Like, who cares? If you still care about s— like that you need to just hang yourself like the rest of them KKK motherf—ers. For real. Who gives a f—? I’m not saying that hip-hop needs gay rappers or anything, but they need to stop being so close-minded because that will just cause the genre to fail. Look at pop. Pop doesn’t discriminate against people. Look at Lady Gaga, y’know what I mean? Who the f— makes the rules for hip-hop? Who the f— dictates who’s cool and who’s not? F— you.

[Hate a person] because they’re a thief or a bad person. Don’t hate ‘em for what they choose to do, because they make decisions on their own time what they choose to do. I don’t care and it’s like f—ed up that hip-hop is so retarded. They don’t want to accept nothing.”

Sigh. This man needs a little media training. I’m smart enough to realize he’s not being literal when he says “you should hang yourself,” but in this day blogs just look for stupid shit like that to generate headlines like I did. Watch. Social media project. I bet a lot of people will react, RT and check the site when I post this on twitter.

In an interview with Exclaim up in Canada, ASAP Rocky confirmed that there’s been thought of doing a full length collaboration project with up and coming artist Schoolboy Q:

Yup, me and Schoolboy Q. That’s going to be trill as fuck. A$AP X TDE. [No release date] yet, just an idea. A good idea.

Now that would be something to look forward to…

In an interview with Montreality, ASAP Rocky and his crew talk everything from Tattoos to what’s in their pockets.

It looks as if Stussy will be linking up with ASAP’s team. Teasers of this collaborative tee shirt with the ASAP Mob has been circulating on Tumblr. Other than this small glimpse, we are not too sure about anything outside of this, but be sure to stay tuned for more official images and information as it releases. Highsnobiety.

If interested, ASAP already collaborated with Black Scale for a little lineup. Check that here.

Word on the street is that the ASAP Rocky concert here in NYC last night was pretty crazy. Among the guests were Schoolboy Q, Bun B, Waka Flocka, and more. Click below for additional show footage:

Yesterday, ASAP Rocky made his way on to BET’s 106 and Park to pretty much talk about the same stuff he’s been talking about the past couple of months – touring with Drake, his sound, etc.

This is actually a pretty cool video segment/story. Previously to this interview, ASAP Rocky addressed how he got his name: His Mom was a crazy Rakim fan and named him after the MC. Angie Martinez put it together so that Rocky could meet Rakim- and they also got Rocky’s mother on the phone to talk about how she once met Rakim in Harlem. Another part of the intv below:

Last night, Drake surprised fans at the ASAP Rocky show with a performance of “Cameras” and “The Motto.”

Via Interview:

A$AP Rocky’s ferociously energetic mix tape Live.Love.A$AP quickly caught fire with hip-hop heads, music bloggers, and nominal tastemakers when he unleashed it on the world via the Internet last fall. In fact, the furor was so great that large numbers of those most standoffish of record-industry gatekeepers—A&R people—soon found themselves frothed up and in a tizzy over the 23-year-old Harlem-bred rapper’s peculiar blend of influences, which include Southern regional hip-hop styles (like the slowed-down, doped-out beats of the Houston subgenre of screw music) and the world of high fashion (who was the last rapper to name-check Rick Owens?).

ASAP Rocky and the rest of the crew talk fashion, Harlem, and much more. Looks like DAZED followed them at the video shoot for “Wassup.”

ASAP Rocky teamed up with VICE to create a video inspired by Scarface, Belly, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors and, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.The result is a video that follows A.$.A.P Rocky through a dreamy fantasy world filled with 40s, Ferari’s, homies and hoards of cash.

Also, check out the latest cover story from Complex, which features ASAP Rocky and Jeremy Scott.

A$AP ROCKY stopped by Soul Assassins Radio with A$AP TY BEATS and A$AP YAMS to talk about A$AP’s beginnings, the future of A$AP, and how he linked up with TY BEATS. He also spit a freestyle for all the fans tuned in.

Great track from Q that features Rocky, off of his new project Habits & Contradictions. Directed by Jerome D.
