- In these online 30-minute events, Gregory Crewdson, Director of Graduate Studies in Photography, asks each guest a list of simple questions about artistic practice, and the anticipation of an end to the pandemic crisis.
One of hip-hop’s true mavericks, Harlem born MC A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, has taken the music and fashion worlds by storm since his emergence in 2011. In 2018, with two critically acclaimed, #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 for freshman & sophomore albums, LONG.LIVE.A$AP and AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, Rocky released his highly-anticipated third studio album, TESTING, which has garnered over 1 Billion streams worldwide, landing at #1 on the iTunes charts in 16 countries upon release. In August of 2019, Rocky dropped new single “Babushka Boi” accompanied by a viral Dick Tracy-inspired video, which went on to receive a 2020 MTV Video Music Award nomination for “Best Art Direction.”
Rocky continues to collaborate with many notable artists and creatives across various genres, including G-Eazy’s 5x RIAA Platinum “No Limit” with Cardi B, Mura Masa’s “Love$ick”, Tyler, The Creator’s “Who Dat Boy”, and songs with Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Young Thug, Skepta, Juicy J, Rod Stewart, Alicia Keys and more. Rocky made his acting debut in director Rick Famuyiwa’s coming-of-age film DOPE in 2015, which debuted at Sundance Film Festival to much fanfare.
The past four years have also seen Rocky’s creative agency AWGE in the spotlight, launching partnerships with Selfridges, JW Anderson, Under Armour, MTV and most recently a collaboration with Kayne West. In addition, AWGE has launched the careers of notable artists such as Playboi Carti, Smooky MarGielaa, slowthai and more.

I don't care what anyone says, but rocky will go down as one of the greatest artists of this era.
all time. nobody took the same experimental leaps that he did. he pioneered a new sound for upcoming newer artists
@@Mike4475 sound AND enabled whole lot of current fashion. one of most important visionaries in arts rn fr
@@kultw1837 he most definitely put streetwear x high fashion on the map for kids these days. but people forget he got a stylist and half of his fits are not styled by himself.
SGP crawled, wobbled and walked so Rocky could run and if you know the scene you know that. Yamswas a pioneer partially because he was tapped in to the underground and saw talent Long before they themselves would grow to be known. That leaves a lot of room for takin niggas shit and using it as your own. Yams has pictures with so many underground OG artists it is insane, dating all the way back to 2011/2012. For every genre, trend, or style, there was Always a previous influence or creator, don't ever forget it. That said, Rocky is a stand up nigga and his works are forever classic.
@@RonaldCamasura @sesh i’m not saying Rakim Myers is the one and the only guy who impacted everyone 😂 i’m saying that the influence that birthed Asap Mob, and the success of Rocky and the ppl around the movement enabled such a shift in style. Eventually Rocky has became responsible for Carti and them too.
Kudos to Clams Casino, and especially SGP he done had his crawls and wobbles 🤣
2:39
ROCKY: remember when u would bang on the desk in school and make beats...
Crewdson: hell yea nigga(hits blunt) 😅
hahahahahahhaha
Aaw, leave Greg alone! He knew who bones thugs and harmony were at least!
💀💀💀
A$AP 4EVER
My boiii. Finna link with a process on your beat too. Your amazing. Keep killin it. A$AP 4EVER
u can tell his next album is going to be amazing
I think it will be his most creative and innovative album even though he already showed it with previous albuma
also his worst, mark my words, no hate tho hes a goat its just hes comfortable as fuck
I think Rocky should start writing books, or talk with somebody that will write it for him based on what he says. He is so interesting and creative considering where he’s coming from he was really a diamond in the rough
lol almost everyone in poor or violent areas are criative, they just don't get the chance to show it or someone to speak about it
Rocky seems to be in a very intricate mental space right now... he's thinking and observing
Nah i talked to him yesterday he said hes just chillin
@@Jossarianz yeah I just got off the phone with Kanye
@@yalelop428 what he say bro?
@@yalelop428 you talked to him recently? Any updates?
@@itslitinthisbih7596 He said Donda coming soon ! Be patient
Gregory Crewdson is a prolific artist.
A$AP Rocky is my favorite musical artist, probably of all time, but please show my man Crewdson some respect and Google his work.
Do you know how long I’ve been wanting an interview where the interviewer picks into Rocky’s brain on a more creative process and on a deeper level, thank you for this!
Me too...
people just don’t understand how legendary this man is he opened a lot of doors in this rap shit but nobody talk about it what a legend 🐐.
yu know it girl
@@rogerroger4216 💅
Great hearing Rocky discuss his process
Rocky and his love for Ambient and ethereal tones resonates with me. Live love ASAP translated so much for me in that regard with Clams Casino production. That’s what real Memphis rap is, the ethereal tones mixing with the hip hop roots.
Always thought his choice of production was some of the best in the game, Clams Casino was the type of guy you'd never imagine someone like Rocky to work with at the time, but the sounds they were able to make was on it's completely own wave. Still to this day haven't really heard shit like some songs on "Live. Love. A$AP"
his vibe back then is unmatched. I miss the clams casino days
So True
Big up inspiring interview, great technical aspects and deep questions. No tea, no relationship questions or clout type of shit. Rocky got much artistic integrity! Harlem legacy 🙏💜
When you are able to see yourself in your favorite artist, Its an amazing feeling. Thank You A$AP
Talking bout your favorite artist and calling him ASAP.... wow
@@2slouchy His stage name is literally A$AP Rocky. What is wrong with that?
@@skaterz10179 it’s like calling playboi carti just playboi, it’s stupid. A$AP is the name of his gang and not his specific. I know a lot of people call Rocky just A$AP and it shouldn’t bother me at all but it’s disrespectful towards other members of the mob
Are u gay cesar?
@cjisg as i Said i know it shouldn’t bother me, but it still does
I don’t know why but this dialogue is funny. Every time there’s a pause between a response there’s like a little silence and it makes me laugh.
You know we often talk about Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Kanye, and Future being the faces of the new generation but no one seems to recognize and acknowledge what Rocky did for the culture. He was ahead of his time in terms of fashion within the music, and his sound was vastly different than any Ny artist that came out around that time. We gotta give Rocky his flowers for his vision and for keeping literal art alive.
This was the kind of interview I always wanted to hear from A$AP Rocky. Not enough people go into his musical process and how he actually makes his music. There's never been a rapper like Rocky, so I really appreciated this. I hope one day someone can dig even further, and we can hear about how long it took him to master all of his different flows, how he honed them and what gave him him the inspiration to approach in such a versatile way. Will never forget the first time I heard Palace. It was a like combination of everything. And ten years later, to get a song like Sandman, where Rocky is even more refined, we really need to hear about how he actually achieves such great rapping. Great video Gregory
A couple friends met Rocky at the mall in Miami. Super down to earth dude, really proud to be a fan of him.
Most of the artists iv followed since the beginning of their careers have sold out but not Rocky or Kid Cudi. Glad Rocky mentioned this that you have to hold your integrity and not sell out
Probably thee best interview I’ve seen from Rocky. Props to the Interviewer, what a cool guy.
Rocky is so relatable bro is truly the goat 🐐💯
what a gem of an interview and human
rocky da best artist in da game rn but we not ready for this convo
Calm down 😂
na bro we're ready. Elaborate
@Aluthando Bottoman reached hella far😭😭
@Aluthando Bottoman your reaching heaavy with Travis Scott
I think Rocky is willing to be creative and committed to his artistic vision in a way few mainstream artists currently are. Especially in hip hop. In mainstream rap right now, other than Rocky, the only other artist I see doing so consistently is Kendrick (visuals, artistic narrative and ability to PUSH the dial each time on sound and focus.) Tyler the Creator also v interesting but not sure he’d be called mainstream. Outside of hip hop, in the mainstream I find Rihanna most interesting in this sense. In hip hop, there are others more entertaining than Rocky. This cannot be discounted: Drake, Travis, Future are more prolific and (arguably) more entertaining... but on creativity? Rocky is up there and on visuals NO ONE is seeing him.
The fact rocky knows city of God let's me truly know he's a reanassance man
Homie would be perfect for the role of the Penguin in a Batman movie
Lmaoooooooooo

fückinnggggg geniuusssssssss+!!! 888888 🦋✨
I'm compassionate about things.
24:10 Didn't know my man is into David Lynch 😂 Eraserhead is not my favourite of Lynch's Films but it's a good one. Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire are definitely my favourites of his! Inland Empire is so freaking surreal, nightmarish and disturbing, if you haven't seen it check it out! It's probably his most under-appreciated film.
Nice
Rocky growing old in front of our eyes
the braids and the facial hair
Rocky the GOATS
🐐
I just got one of his NFT's last week, im hodling it forever!
Where did you buy it ?
@@heribertodiazmata734 niftygateway

rare . luv IT
Rocky is such an amazing dude
simping for another dude
@@matthewmccarty9991 excuse me?
@@yusi7853 mr bill collector i got problems
@@sisl3r That was smooth like gunz and butter my guy
FLACKO !!
What? Never expected this.
haven’t watch a flacko interview since I was 14
how old are you now bro
✌🏼
Definitely wanna see an ASAP Rocky clothing line
I’d prefer Collaborative stuff instead of an own brand tbh because seeing the vision of someone and having an impact on something particular that is already a really good selling product and turning it into something new that gets appreciated by people with the new model
just like marine serre and their latest collaboration with asap rocky and ssj
@@geekedFartjuice619 I was expecting more from that collection tbh
Great work Greg
i dont know about ya'll people but that yale director asks those carson daily trl type of questions
rip rocky
Being a perfectionist is something that helps on the one hand, but absolutely destroys the fun and creativity sometimes, because that perfectionist ego won't let you say that it's done, that it's good enough. At least for me that's how it is for me. If I feel something is 90 percent finished, more than likely I need to let it go, because there is no such thing as perfect...SBN RESONATE
This!
The professor looks like the penguin from Batman
sometimes it fel like he talking to me
Why does the teacher look so nervous 😂 it’s not like a bad thing but he reminds me of the type of old white dude Tyler would try to piss off
I dont think he looks nervous anymore then I'm sure he usually is...
when you realize that this handsome man is 32 years old
he got the pharell formula, he won't get old either
still can't believe it shit brazy
@@timonradde8174 More like the "no kids" Formula
32 years old isn’t even old...
Is this real life?
Yo eraserhead holy fuck flacko 😂🔥
19:00
This shit isnt art its business. Money is the end goal. Not the evolution of creative expression.
Can somebody name the films Rocky mentioned?
same
I didn’t hear the first but this is what i did hear
1) Eraserhead
2) City of God
3) The Mack
La Haine is the first one he said. A must watch
Ain’t no way this nigga has memories from when he was 2 😂

You can tell rocky is always holding back saying purrp as one of his main influences.
Who saw this from that one girl’s Tiktok?

the person giving the interview is very boring, thankfully Rocky gave encouraging answers

John 3:16-21 (nkjv)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darknes rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
