The rest of his set fluctuated between varying levels of intimate (like the trippy, sweet "L$D") and turnt ("Hella Hoes"), but really took off when he dropped covers of “Jump Around” and “Smells like Teen Spirit." Just like any great rock star would, he launched himself into the crowd and surfed on the hands of his followers. Its no wonder Lord Flacko is vibing on top. It’s been a tumultuous yet rewarding year for Rocky: the loss of a partner, a feature film debut ( Dope), and a third album, At Long Last A$AP. Once that cleared up, Rocky took a moment to send out love to his mentor, A$AP Mob founder, A$AP Yams, who died of a drug overdose earlier this year. Rocky apologized for the speed bump and explained that’s why he was late. The rest of A$AP Mob went back and forth on the stage, presumably trying to fix whatever went wrong in the first place. Rocky rapped his verse on ‘Wavybone’ acapella–style: no music, no flashy visuals. When “JD” wrapped, Mana’s technical difficulties came to light. If there were any doubts of Rocky’s ability as a live performer, they were gone right here. What followed can only be described as pure, unrelenting fuego. In an instant, the stage exploded with Harlem goon squad, A$AP Mob. “JD”s haunting beat creeped on and the backdrop shot down. (about 35 minutes late) the lights dimmed, blunts were passed, and Lord Flacko’s silhouette arose. The night was lit thanks to Rocky, Kaytranada and surprise guest, Denzel Curry at the last installment of the III Points Art Basel concert series.įrench DJ Stwo got the night off to a good start with fresh hiphop remixes but by 12:30 a.m. As he emerged, his Bob Marley T-shirt was ripped to shreds and Nirvana’s "Smells like Teen Spirit" raged throughout Mana’s 36,000 square feet. Fashion is art.” If we put KIDULT’s action to the equation of this video, what he is doing can be interpreted as killing fashion.“If you a trill nigga, get your motherfuckin’ hands up,” chanted A$AP Rocky right before diving into his crowd’s mosh pit on Saturday. We use his art, and we use her art for being a fashion killer, and made this conceptual video. It’s this famous/infamous tagger, KIDULT. Most interestingly A$AP Rocky told BET, “It’s about art, the whole video, we wanted to base it off art. Shoes is Alexander Wang and her shirt the newest Donna.Ī$AP Ferg also makes a guest appearance in the video, mouthing acapella lyrics from his song “Murda Something”.Ī figure covering his face with a skull bandana is also shown throughout the video, with the last scene taken from KIDULT’s own documentaion of tagging the word ‘ART’ in front of the Marc Jacob’s store in New York, one can conclude the figure is meant to be KIDULT. She jiggy like Madonna, but she trippy like Nirvana.Ĭause everything designer, her jeans is Helmut Lang. Her attitude Rihanna, she get it from her mama. He drops many fashion designers’ names and Rihanna’s as well, so it was only appropriate to feature her in the video as well. It seems what she’s doing to the mannequin shows what she wants to do with A$AP. The video features Rocky taking Rihanna around town having a nice time, shopping and going in and out of stores. In A$AP Rocky’s latest single ‘Fashion Killa’, the Harlem mc collaborated with Rihanna.
