Bone Thugs N Harmony were sexier than him when Bone Thugs were young. Bone Thugs are better than ASAP Rocky! That's why Rocky is doing the Bone Thugs flow. Even Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone & Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs were sexier than him!
Bernando Becenti your right about Bizzy of coarse Bizzy is #1 but ASAP Rocky is right behind him LOL.....IDK about Krayzie I could see maybe Layzie but Krayzie I think his personality and his flow may make him sexy but body and face is not too beautiful. lmao
Winné Are you mad because you're one of the UGLY ones.....LOL Your psycho little comment doesn't bother me it's actually funny, people are able to have their own opinions just a FYI. What a freak.
Winné What I said is you are probably one of the UGLY ones that is why you're mad...and I really don't give a fuck if your ugly dude you are nobody to me.
Great interview. Great to hear a section about how Bone Thugs and other groups inspired him and other artists. Not only does ASAP have his own fans backing him but also Bone fans.
I think she's fine. Given all cultural differences, she's keeping it academic and on topic. Even when she's the punchline, she's a good sport. For a week now, these old RBMA interviews have been my entertainment and invariably, the commenters dislike the host or the audience.
***** i thought she was fine, and asked good questions. but he answers with just random shit sometimes and just says this 'deep shit' that makes no sense and then it s awkward lol
Sorry for putting you on the spot:ASAP-that's ok lmao I wouldn't of been apologized for putting him on the spot. I'm the one interviewing you, not the other way around. But this dude is cool and funny tho
doctordrizzay It was embarrassing man was using it all out of context and shit I think Rocky is one of those people who just try and act like they smarter than they really are I get that vibe from him a bit deluded. I like his music tho for sure
She Actually Wasnt A Bad Interviewer Like Yall Sayin. If Yall Wanna Watch A Rocky Interview Where The Interviewer Was Cringeworthy Its The UCLA Joint. Go Check That Out Lol 💯
@Red Bull Music Academy the interviewer is more than uncapable for that job 10:47 cant believe her face, its like "who the fuck is mos def". its her fuckin job to read about who these people are also she should at least pretend shes interested also when asap presents his new track M'$ she is pulling up her sleeves all the time what shows shes not interested or cant concentrate on what shes doin. dont like her and aint gonna watch the whole video so dear red bull find a more capable person who can handle all kinds of music or rather hire somebody who s into hip hop instead, would make everything more interesting than questions asked by a person who s not willing to hear an answer. expected way more, red bull is doing everything else so well
okay dared to watch 8 further seconds and she starts bullshitin again. rocky starts like "u wanna know something ironic...." and she wants to know where he sat? whuaat the fuck. that was IRONIC no SIENCE.
8 mins in and I've had enough. asaps kinda boring when he's not surrounded by his friends/other rappers. i watched 90 mins of danny brown talking shit with ease... but asap doesn't do it for me to that level. still like his music.
afroguy226 you could say that about rocky and gambino.... but not really, their all creative in their own way, but since kanye has some years on them, its likely to be compared to them
Ned Lightowlers tbh I can see the confusion with a lot of the 'grime' being made now, the hiphop (mainly trap) influences are heavy & american hiphop has taken a lot of electronic influences in the last 10 years. "Move that dope" & "clique" could be grime beats if sped up a little. the separation of the genre's isn't as big as it was when grime first emerged.
FergRS i thought the first part was ok, and im feelin most of yalls tracks.. I should not have wrote what i did. I know he was excited to be on stage like this.. Im really liking tha lsd tune.. I respect the talent... Just not the best redbull interview..
Since when it's become a norm to curse like that in an interview?Like it really takes the class (that he's even trying to potray with his art talk) out of the whole thing smh
All that fashion shit too materialistic yo, got muhfuckers worshipping brands n shit i find materialism to be a major problem today, shit is deadass holding us back as a society. I really dont think Rocky is the "artist" he thinks he is and I wouldnt be surprised if everything goes downhill now that Yams is gone
+Papito Swanson idk, know all long they had notifications, but I get where you're going with what you said. It's just that fashion and materialism like you said it is really a necessary thing now. I don't understand when you said it was holding us back as a society. It has an impact on it, but that is not only holding us back. You shouldn't make a big deal about it until something worth wild is going to happen reflecting the materialism of fashion. Seriously don't look so deep to things. If you were to understand how it all works you wouldn't have said what you said. It's art just as much as many other things are. I don't think people really worship it it's just something people really look upon such as a hobby. Not everyone does it.
+its MaxiTepale i get what you're saying...I just feel like it gets out of control and most people are blinded by material possession and to me that's missing out on whats important. people have died over sneakers...how ridiculous and petty does that sound? shit is totally ass backwards
Fact is. grime is probably not gona blow as big as say the south blew for example. Simple is the accent. Once thats out the way all the complaining about style jacking will follow, then the street cred in out in london will follow, etc,etc. If anything it will be a indie genre. Now uk hiphop may blow and get some fame, but i feel like its gona be a mimic of american. When i listen to krept and konan, yungen, etc i hear down south american music.(more so K/K) so thats kinda odd imo. They gotta get a style and have it stick. Here in toronto you had the ovo sounds from drake and 40 and boi1da that is consistent. The weeknd fallling from that tree as well. Once a sound sticks, artists will want that and everything will follow.
Mate i don't think you understand what grime is. IT IS AN INDIE GENRE. It's basically a sub-genre of Hip-Hop. Like Indie-Rock is a sub-genre of Rock. Seriously, You Americans think you the coolest and London tryna be you. NO. We could simply make Hip-Hop music like Tinie Tempah has. Grime is not trying to be anything else it is what it is. It ain't gunna "Blow up" in America either, now way. Americas are tryna talk about it because you have only just heard about it and you wanna be Hipster and unique. It's also shit at the moment. About 5 years ago Grime was fcking amazing. It's a very London/British thing. Americans will not understand it and won't like. So just quit talking about it.
Winné Bro im canadian lol I can identify with uk urban culture moreso since toronto culture is west indian infused like london. Hell we got towns and streets and ares named after yours . that said its true GRIME is not american or trying to be like that, however, the hiphop scene im sorry is a mimic in some cases. heard some rapper saying he was trapping out the bando out there. forget his name
Ned Lightowlers It's not a negative.. The similarity between Grime and Hip-Hop is that they both Rap.. Like Indie Rock and Rock's only similarities are that they Use Guitars and Drums as the bass instruments. They have nothing to do with each other musically but Indie was created from Rock - Grime was created from Hip-Hop (and other things as you listed) but mainly Hip-Hop. It's not a bad thing - We ain't copying America in any way. They think Grime IS hip-hop, I'm saying it's not.
Winné But you keep saying it came out if hip hop, when it actually evolved from a British Jamaican tradition of soundsystem culture that dates back to before the windrush. The Jamaican community here in the UK has been spittin since before hip hop even came about. Hip hop has probably had the least influence on the music of grime, especially compared to dancehall and garage. You can similarly say that dancehall and hip hop have spittin in common but it would be stupid to try and say one came out of the other, rather they both evolved from similar Jamaican roots. If you wanna talk about a genre that is hip hop mixed with locl influences, that would be road rap, which mixes hip hop with dancehall and grime. But grime is very separate to hip hop, any footage of old grime raves like the first Eskimo dances look and sound rather alien compared to hip hop, but have a lot more in common wiv dancehall and the soundsystem culture.
Ned Lightowlers Well Then Skepta, Wiley, Kano and whoever the fuck else don't make "Grime" music. Cause there music is CLEARLY mostly influenced by Hip-Hop.
![[EXCLUSIVE] A$AP Rocky FULL Interview + Freestyle on The Cruz Show](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AtLnZVzBji4/mqdefault.jpg)
What do you think of A$AP Rocky's relationship with London and Grime?
His singles with Skepta are fuckin amazing!
Mos Def is baked. Lol
Mos Def looking like a prophet.
Mario Escobedo yoo lolol
Chill 😭😭😭
Anthony Miller YOLO! lmao
Probably cuz he is one. Yasiin is a living, breathing prophet
looking like a disciple
Great interview Rocky one of my role models and I will innovate just like he does. Keep doing you Rocky.
Lol Rocky loves unnecessarily saying ''Ima come clean''
he says that like he's jinxed
I hate when people say he look like Travis Scott....
+T Smith travis scott looks like him
i don't see any similarity btwn the two.If it's the hair...it's not even the same too
All black people look the same
DJ Dramademiks ?
He looks NOTHING AT ALL LIKE HIM FLACKO IS IN HIS OWN SEXY CHOCLATE LANE........JUST EYE CANDY FA SHO.
ughhhhh he is the sexiest man.. his smile!! his laugh! especially at the end when he's just movin to his song. i love him
Bone Thugs N Harmony were sexier than him when Bone Thugs were young. Bone Thugs are better than ASAP Rocky! That's why Rocky is doing the Bone Thugs flow. Even Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone & Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs were sexier than him!
If he wasn't rich you wouldn't even care tho
well it helps i won't lie
Jessica Boucher LMAO
Jessica Boucher haha that's the realist comment I seen. Congrats
At this point this was one of the best interviews with asap
I could listen to him talk all day
Long Live Asap will probably always continue to be my all tim favorite album.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ASAP Rocky is so gorgeous ooooooweeeeee...... Not too many beautiful people in this world.
Fuck that Bizzy Bone is better than him & sexier than Asap Rocky! Even Krayzie Bone is sexier than & Layzie Bone too!
Bernando Becenti your right about Bizzy of coarse Bizzy is #1 but ASAP Rocky is right behind him LOL.....IDK about Krayzie I could see maybe Layzie but Krayzie I think his personality and his flow may make him sexy but body and face is not too beautiful. lmao
Winné Are you mad because you're one of the UGLY ones.....LOL Your psycho little comment doesn't bother me it's actually funny, people are able to have their own opinions just a FYI. What a freak.
1love4bizzybone You can't say i'm ugly tho, that don't work. "LMAO"
Winné What I said is you are probably one of the UGLY ones that is why you're mad...and I really don't give a fuck if your ugly dude you are nobody to me.
In case y'all didn't know Mos Def was the original pretty flacko, that could be the reason for the pair up
That lady is soooo happy to be there with them. A rarity in interviews
R.I.P A$AP YAMS
Jaie Ricketts fat druggo down :')
Jun Seba Why u hatin'
Jun Seba Fuck you
JK47 na thats disrespect. Get off of here with that man. Nobody likes a trash talker about the dead- especially off their laptop.
***** I was sayin fuck you to the guy that called him a fat druggo? RIP YAMS
Great interview. Great to hear a section about how Bone Thugs and other groups inspired him and other artists. Not only does ASAP have his own fans backing him but also Bone fans.
they say Mos Def hasn't been without weed in his system for almost 30 years. dude was blazed as fuck.
I'm excited to hear the new music!
Seems like a respectful young guy that makes great music, shoutout to asap for wanting to expose grime to the US.
rocky shouting out ireland, rup! 👌👌 people who come here always seem to say we have mental crowds

why has it taken this long for red bull to get hattie collins to moderate these lectures, she's great.
Very rare
44:20 real life
Anyone else think Red Bull could've picked a better host?
I think she's fine. Given all cultural differences, she's keeping it academic and on topic. Even when she's the punchline, she's a good sport. For a week now, these old RBMA interviews have been my entertainment and invariably, the commenters dislike the host or the audience.
Hes a great speaker
is he sober this time?
Legend!!
VERY RARE TRACK!
The interviewer tries so hard.. it's pretty cringeworthy.
***** i thought she was fine, and asked good questions. but he answers with just random shit sometimes and just says this 'deep shit' that makes no sense and then it s awkward lol
ThisIsDownstate na man she was a bit slow on trying to understand what he was saying.
***** I'm not saying she is a bad person lol she just tries too hard
***** she's super nervous. i felt sorry for her, i'd be shitting a brick if I had to do that.
***** cussin Hattie Collins do you know how much she's done for the UK urban music scene?
BASED GODDDDD !!!
TYBG
pusha T on the album
Sorry for putting you on the spot:ASAP-that's ok lmao I wouldn't of been apologized for putting him on the spot. I'm the one interviewing you, not the other way around. But this dude is cool and funny tho
I dont think Rocky knows what ironic means haha
Lol right
doctordrizzay It was embarrassing man was using it all out of context and shit I think Rocky is one of those people who just try and act like they smarter than they really are I get that vibe from him a bit deluded. I like his music tho for sure
jesse monor that's exactly how I see it aswell haha
His talking about Yams, nigga. Talking about Yams
doctordrizzay he meant it was ironic because mos def was there
oh shit, shabazz palaces shoutout by Mos.. And a Bobby Shmurda shoutout in the same breath lmao

Bring Benji in the place and interviews will be soo much better
thats the baddest gramma ive ever seen
that camera shot from the phone was veryy rare ..
lol Mos Def and Rocky is a weird pairing.. But Mos and Tyler was too
Both called flacko jodye
forgot to mention Mos Def
thats rude grime started like 20 years ago not after asap
he is so pretty
they forgot Danny Seth
give somebody a few mill$ and "Fans" and they call them selfs a GOD
Yes sir looooooooool
@Red Bull Music Academy
the interviewer is more than uncapable for that job
10:47 cant believe her face, its like "who the fuck is mos def". its her fuckin job to read about who these people are also she should at least pretend shes interested
also when asap presents his new track M'$ she is pulling up her sleeves all the time what shows shes not interested or cant concentrate on what shes doin. dont like her and aint gonna watch the whole video
so dear red bull find a more capable person who can handle all kinds of music or rather hire somebody who s into hip hop instead, would make everything more interesting than questions asked by a person who s not willing to hear an answer.
expected way more, red bull is doing everything else so well
bullshit
okay dared to watch 8 further seconds and she starts bullshitin again. rocky starts like "u wanna know something ironic...." and she wants to know where he sat? whuaat the fuck. that was IRONIC no SIENCE.
whooooo issss that bird!
shoutout to the based god.
8:06 lol
37:00 Rocky the next Bruce Jenner
elliot hulse he just loves women
They aint spelling different or nothing
8 mins in and I've had enough. asaps kinda boring when he's not surrounded by his friends/other rappers. i watched 90 mins of danny brown talking shit with ease... but asap doesn't do it for me to that level. still like his music.
Mini Kanye West
afroguy226 better.
ASVP Dise nah bro never
Kayne would have made a scene bruh, Rocky knows better.
afroguy226 you could say that about rocky and gambino.... but not really, their all creative in their own way, but since kanye has some years on them, its likely to be compared to them
Kanye fucks up his good ideas half the time because of his pride of trying to be different.
This woman is awkward af tho..
Future was before his mixtape
More like Mos Es
MOS DEF
GRIME AINT A SUBGENRE OF HIP HOP!
THANK YOU! Tired of seeing hip hop dickriders tryna claim everything relates to America and hip hop
Ned Lightowlers tbh I can see the confusion with a lot of the 'grime' being made now, the hiphop (mainly trap) influences are heavy & american hiphop has taken a lot of electronic influences in the last 10 years. "Move that dope" & "clique" could be grime beats if sped up a little. the separation of the genre's isn't as big as it was when grime first emerged.
***** that's a very valid point, and definitely goes some way in explaining why so many new grime listeners just think it's UK hip hop
michele lamy aka lamy lamz
Tuff audience.
Decent interview. He needs to get his hair done.
wow, im dumber now..
Ur smarter u fuck
FergRS i thought the first part was ok, and im feelin most of yalls tracks.. I should not have wrote what i did. I know he was excited to be on stage like this.. Im really liking tha lsd tune.. I respect the talent... Just not the best redbull interview..
Take the reverb off lol
😏
Since when it's become a norm to curse like that in an interview?Like it really takes the class (that he's even trying to potray with his art talk) out of the whole thing smh
***** he's just so fluent I feel, and he will come off as a very genuine guy/ vibes didn't lie on this interview forsure
Yams took too many grams
There's Ya A Hit Rocky
All that fashion shit too materialistic yo, got muhfuckers worshipping brands n shit i find materialism to be a major problem today, shit is deadass holding us back as a society. I really dont think Rocky is the "artist" he thinks he is and I wouldnt be surprised if everything goes downhill now that Yams is gone
