- In the three years since his last album, A$AP Rocky has broadened his horizons. He’s a businessman now, with the label signees, fashion collabs, and famous friends to show for it. It’s been a fruitful time off, but with his new album ‘Testing’ on the way, he’s out to prove one thing: that A$AP Rocky is one of the defining artists of his generation.

A$AP is a definition of a person living his truth. He's one of the few people out there that is 100% authentic and that's something I truly admire.
Rocky needs to drop a skincare routine for the homies
rasheed sadien fr 😂😂
He said before it's genetics
Its called make up
No, he once said he's a fan of exfoliating
Na he need to tell us what foundation he used
Rocky album gonna be so ahead of its time I can already see the bad reviews then people going back to it a year later
21chill thats the best part about it. Same thing with Yeezus. That project was and is still hated on by a lot of people but it’s actually one of the best pieces of art. Still way ahead of its time.
NVRLND not even just yeezus, 808’s and heartbreaks changed a whole generation and it wasn’t even realised at the time
NVRLND I went back and listened to Yeezus like a month ago and that shit was definitely ahead of it's time, TLOP and Yeezus should've swapped releases
21chill True. It's so dope to see true artists break barriers.
Joshua Mack Same bro. The sounds he used back then were so uncommon that people were quick to call it trash. I disagree on your last point tho. Yeezus dropping all the way back in 2013 shows Ye's genius even more. If Yeezus dropped in 2016, it would take away from his genius because the sounds were more common then.
Rocky is my biggest inspiration, as a rapper..as an artist..as a person..i want to meet him one day ! Asap Forever
Are u an artist??
alina namene i am producer
You got it bro👽
ASAP FOREVER
Purple Swag forever
Who is he talking about in 21:02??
Rocky forever, Ferg whack
You trippin
Wouldn’t it make more sense to call the album ASAP FOREVER than Testing?
Big S/O to the camera squad this is a lit interview
He started talking doing drugs she changed the subject
all 3 big interviews this year were looking nice af
amoz roberts stfu
sonti yo deadass
Lol dude just stop comment

When rocky imitates Tyler, his voice is EXACTLY like TYLERS.
Rocky is on top of the game he is definitely for the Culture! been on top
he is the top
I agree that he's on top of his game. But him being for the culture? No. Disagree.
Nah hes for the fashion culture yupp but not for hip hop
He's for Urban Fashion, which is hip hop.
Yeah man bags is really hip hop u feel me dog
Man Rocky is intelligent and has a lot of knowledge.
Rocky looks yunger everyday forreal
He's a Libra
Bunbun Beats he’s black
Annoyed Angel so?
Bunbun Beats black don’t crack unless you did some crack. if you know what im saying.
LDplays why would i?
He really understands what it is to be an artist and I admire him and his heart and soul
He went and got that interior design and furniture deal 4 years later, he manifested it
He's so beautiful omg 😩😩😩
West Indian beautiful.
This is definitely dropping this week. The performance, the announcement of the cover art, and this interview is building up to drop this week. Hes definitely gonna capitalize on the hype and drop it. Flacko Szn 🚧⚠️
Nate if you know A$AP well, you know he never really tries to amplify a release with interviews, or hype. He’ll fuck around and really wait another month 🤣
this week will be 3 year anniversary for alla, so maybe he may drop it this week who knows
I don't want it to compete with King Push though!
Hopefully it drops Friday ⚠️
Flacko confirmed 5/25
I will stan Rocky forever
Lubie facts.
Everytime rocky laughs it sounds like I'm cleaning my mirror
JaredYT Lmaoooo😂
JaredYT you mean spraying windex on a window?

JaredYT a silent voice, I ain't even finish that mvie
Favorite Rocky interview so far. Calm cool collected. Articulate. No talking bout bitches in the club or booty shaking. Rocky really on those psychedelics. Lil genius. Inspiring.

Real talk, A$AP Rocky seems like one of the chillest people on Earth for real

We need to wake up, push boundaries and gain knowledge. Be adaptable, and pay attention, for when genuinely ask is when you will receive your answers. Surround yourself with good, and learn to let go of fear!

why do you keep commenting
Wtf is cozy boys corny as fuck
jake hoyt how have you not heard “Cozy boys” before
Why comment so much?😂
Rocky got that Windex bottle spray laugh
I was fuckin psyched for this album. I listened to it with a very open mind (as I do with every rocky album) and I loved testing. Next day at school I was hyped to talk it up with my friends. They all hated it and later I learned the album flopped. I was so shocked that the album came and went within 24hrs. I love testing. I hope In a few years it’ll be appreciated for what it really is.
I can not explain how much i love this interview. I hope the music is as beautiful as he makes it seem
Wish he worked with Clams Casino on the album
Chickens Everywhere & spaceghostpurp
CHOPPEDCHEEZ lol yeah right. I guess wishing doesnt hurt thi
what?
never heard of the guy
He burnt that bridge when him and Purrp fell out.
Rocky was right.
Igor ended up getting a Grammy.
Rocky a solidified legend
He Lowkey was loving her energy u can feel the synergy 👀
"we just wanna make dope shit" -A$AP Rocky
Yo who ever scored this needs to produce music lol the sounds are tight
jabari1000 lol loved the music
If A$AP Rocky & Travis Scott ever collabed that would be some Gogeta or Vegito type shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shpëtim Caka imagine a album
Shpëtim Caka they got beef tho
Chris Malinowski Man, so did Goku and Vegeta. It's all love when you gotta stop Janemba.
Blackbrainz Ontario 💀💀💀
vegito for sure they got way too much swag to be gogeta
Kids turned out fine is genius. ahead of its time. Underrated no matter the hype. literally played it back to back like 5 times. I think i have a problem
Girl - I get the feeling you’re admired
ASAP Rocky - I’m above average 😂😂
rocky said it a year ago that tylers new shii its crazy
You heard it first from Asap rocky
Tyler’s working on a new dope ass album
Yess !
Cleako TV it’s dropping before June 30th
any one else notice this dope ass beats in the background?
Lots of people don’t see him as legendary but he is , Highkey! His whole discography lit .💯🔥💨

what a great interview, i can listen Rakim talking for hours and hours - it's so inspirational but i also really appreciate the work of camera squad and editor, thats also art - great job complex crew
Lord Pretty Flacko 🔥
maties lopez Who is he talking about in 21:02??
Messi 🐐
Mr andres yeah boooy
I wish she asked about FRANK OCEAN MAN
'parents sip the wine the kids sniff the lines'
The way he is talking about experimenting sonically on this album. I feel this album will probably be what Yeezus was with Kanye!
everytime i smoke i watch one of rockys interviews. whilst i roll up, while smoking and i have the best smoking sessions. rocky is such an interesting person and i could listen to him all day. i wish one day i can just kick it with this man. just listen to all the shit he puts into his music. talk about fashion everything man. love you rocky!!!
I get why travis scott stole his whole vibe and look, this man is legendary
Travis have a different vibe tf
@@ahno7573 lol
hey Travis Scott could never💅🏽
@hey STFU
i honestly never got the comparison of these two?
muchdank is gonna have fun with flacko's spray bottle ass laugh
She rocks:3 meme RUclips channel
Respect!! Pretty Flacko is tha shit!! Can't wait to hear the new music. your first two albums were the soundtrack to my life during that time. It got me through a lot and i'll support Rocky anyway I can. You the man rocky hope new album goes triple platinum the first week. Much love and respect bruh, Long Live Rocky and R.I.P. Yams!
Artist need to go back to taking year breaks these consistent mid drops are not good for music quality > quantity
tavis i wish they would, but it doesn’t agree with how the industry functions now.
Kyle Pickus it’s time for the industry to stop overpowering artistry
tavis i Agree. It is only reflective of the society we live in today though. Artists are producing albums one after another, because if they don’t they may lose relevance.
Fucking sucks, but with how saturated the industry is, it becomes too easy to move on to the next artist. People care less about lyricism and work ethic, but more about how bangin the production is.
Great point. When you sit on music, you can make sure that the album you release is top-notch.
Well i get what ur saying but it varies
KANYE REINVENTED THE INTERVIEW
Alec Kanye stays a legend
god!
thats actually too true
Kanye’s influence is everywhere, it’s actually incredible.
Jay Z*
Alec Nah tyler did he was first
This was actually an amazing interview with interesting questions
He’s so unic!! I love him! I admire him a lot! He’s amazing, very talented, intelligent person!
Rocky about to bless us with another album
I wish all interviews were conducted like this, she asked all the right questions. I hate when the interviews become about everything except the artist and their music.
LONG LIVE A$AP #LEGEND
He said the album is done, revealed the cover art, did that weird promotional live streams, and now interviews are coming out all in the last 24 hours. The album's dropping friday I can feel it
YEEEE BOYS 🔥🔥
Bruh just drop the album already, we’ve been waiting 3 years! 😫
Sometimes i wish i could chill with dudes like asap rocky. I have so much respect for atrists like him. I can learn a lot from him
Ong I’m like dat!❤️
flacko got the best interviews BIG FAXXXXX
Icon!,,
Make me so proud seeing all the dope shit he’s created😩✨💖
Imagine a track with Rocky & La Flame
Pro Habits better yet a mixtape
