Rocky carrying himself like a real old-school italian mobster🤣
Love it
On god 😭😭
I didn’t know rocky still rap cause they only talking about his fit again.
@@Dunkingcoso why u on the video then looool
@@Lordglide drake bar
@@Dunkingco get off ya knees
You can tell Rocky isn’t so far removed from Harlem. People actually know him there unlike some other celebrities .
So true. He goes back to Harlem all the time. Him and Rihanna announced her pregnancy there.
They hang out there and visit his family.
He gives back, donating meals to the homeless shelter that supported his family years ago.
Love to see it
I wonder if people in harlem are okay with what he said about black lives matter and police brutality
@@thruthemotions He addressed this on the breakfast club.
@@mical7582 he also addressed it in an interview with kerwin frost further reiterating what he said
Give it rest@@thruthemotions
This the type of love Jlo thought she would get when she went back to the Bronx 😂
🤣 the human embodiment of “I went to your hood and nobody knew you”
@@sxt4447 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
nah fr. we dont be jackin jlo like that
Shit up man😂😂😂
Rocky changed the fashion game in hip hop forever💯
A fact
Naah just copy spaceghostpurrp
@@Broktarantino space definitely started the hieroglyphics and dark sound not fashion tho you trippin that dude still can’t dress today lol
Kanye did
@@Landiiana Kanye did it by selling product not by music bro
As someone from Harlem, Rocky really is a hometown hero
Been a rocky fan since 2011, seeing that Peso video back then as a middle schooler I didnt think how much of a star Rocky was gonna be and how he was ahead of his time with the fashion.
Word! Been a fan since day one and he stayed consistent and 💯
Same bro, it’s beautiful to see fr
Big facts!!! Same here
It’s crazy because I knew it and I’m still shocked watching this! Like when you see the actuality of things it’s mind blowing
My aunt in law taught him in high school. She only had wonderful things to say about him as a student.
What did she say??
^
@@BleezyB she just always says the nicest things about him, gentleman from an early age supposedly. She also taught the wayans brothers and they were supposedly awesome too
@@gemmasamp what Highschool was it
Only wonderful things?? You sure he wasn't too charming to her 😭😭
This is why we love ASAP and why he stands above the others of his era -- he has respect for where he's from and the OGs that came before him. He's always been an old soul that knows how to play the long game.
Truth
I see why Riri choose him…the man is really humble just like wifey is too 😌💯
She chose him because he's a king and a boss.. hes extremely intelligent arrogant/confident and sure of himself..
he knows who he is....
And this is what kendrick was saying you can just feel black culture. Rocky from Harlem, Kendrick from Compton. This is what they meant by "THEY NOT LIKE US" SHOUT OUT TO ROCKY. THIS IS BLACK EXCELLENCE
Exactly 👍🏾 🎉❤
The way he casually referred to Rihanna as “my girl” lol. Love them both
So cute! 🥰
If he couldnt do that.. and pull it off. She wouldn't be with him...
Im a dude but his charisma is so AHHHH! He's chill asf too
that's how he got riri
This guy is what u want an artist to be, in his community and shows everyone love 💯💪🏾💪🏾
I usually have this feeling that rihanna fell in love w rocky cause of his personality and kind heart, bro's always pure good vibes
Drakes worst fear... a real person.
💯💯💯💯💯
LMAO
this man will forever be iconic. he has this energy/aura to him it’s so natural and cool. not many like pretty flacko. keep striving and inspiring us all.
"It don't even matter that I'm here. That's just the Cherry on top!"
He a real one.
Finally a ASAP Rocky interview I can eat my food to
yo ong 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I need more
im eating rn
@@pyrof1lthdon’t use Gods name in vain
The charisma is craaaazy
I loved how they highlighted Harlem’s’ community and rich history of arts and culture! Preach on, Rocky!
We are waiting Rocky
We gotta wait like 2 more months // Flacko announced on Twitter that it’s getting pushed back bc of sample clearings 😑
this interview felt so refreshing
He’s right on that kids today are glued to the screens at the same time I feel like children only do what you allow them to do. Force them To play outside.
Rocky humble. Seem like such a cool dude.
Young Strong charismatic, handsome, these are so of the words to describe him.
Im very impressed by his down to earthness and a genuine guy and family man
He has a baby face, he looks so young and youthful
Skincare started in the 20’s goes a longggg way
On his Pretty Flacko. 💯 I’m not from America but I always love the energy behind a good HARLEM Fashion Killa fit 😘👌🏾 Shoutout the LEGEND Dapper Dan! 💐
He has great, natural energy. It radiates.
I remember seeing Trilla video and hearing Hands on The Wheel in middle school. The first thing I thought was wow, here’s a hood dude that’s not tryna be a tuff guy, not muscular, not an athlete. Just fly, chill and likes to hang out around beautiful women.
Instantly I knew this was who I wanted to be like being a skinny kid from the hood terrible at sports
💛
Love your real response.
Idk why but that's the same thought I had when I became a dad. I got more awareness of kids and there was even more empathy and sympathy
watched it twice in a row again and again. how is ASAP so cool like that. it seems like he didn't have enough time to meet all his Harlem people in this short interview lol love this interview so much.!!
I keep forgetting that asap rocky is 35 years old mane 😂
At this point he OG Flacko
Rocky seem like such a nice genuine stand up dude you can tell he really loves his people and cares for them
Also W interview for not being a dick and interrupting and chill
I love his persona so much. He's so cool

O wow my condolences to you 🙏🏽 for your brother, my brother was killed in Brooklyn where we grew up sad, im a grown woman in a safer place with my family and so protective ❤ blessings 🙏🏽
The fact that Dapper Dan gives Rocky his flowers is all you need to know!
This is why ASAP and RiRi are loved and favorable. Humble and Real. They just blend in with us every day, folks. Fame doesn't get to them. We are all humans.
We need a book from OG. If his words influenced A$AP to become who he is, I want to read his words for real
Read gods word
BEEN GONE SO LONG
I'M BACK TO STAY
I remember my first time in Harlem it was a touristy experience...he shows the real Harlem...nice piece...
asap rocky all-day everyday 🦂
I am so glad he brought up the Harlem Renaissance. That is so cool. I visited Harlem just to absorb that…. Langston Hughes Zora Neale Hurston etc.,
Love love LOVE ASAP
A$AP is a legend
