Rakim Mayers (born October 3, 1988), better known by his stage name ASAP Rocky (stylized as A$AP Rocky), is an American rapper from Harlem, New York City. He is a member of the hip hop collective ASAP Mob, from which he adopted his moniker. Rocky released his debut mixtape Live. Love. ASAP, in 2011 to critical acclaim. The success of his mixtape led to a record deal with Polo Grounds Music, RCA Records, and Sony Music Entertainment. He subsequently recorded his 2013 debut album Long. Live. ASAP, which was also well received by critics and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. It has been established for 189 years, aiming to promote debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.o...

They let rocky hold that mic for fourteen minutes without telling him he don't need it
Why did they wait so long?
@@j.b.4614They didn’t want to interrupt him. Something many people still have to learn in their life.
He was in the zone. He just started talking without any questions to answer.
@@j.b.4614 Tbh, it was probably that they felt a bit embarrassed to do it. Oxford students are just as prone to feeling star struck as normal people. But also, I laughed at first that they didn't say it, but I also felt it kind of fitting since he is a performer and the mic in his hand is so natural for him, I kinda felt it was fitting so...
I love how Rocky is so cool in any situation, like when he knows he said something awkward or weird and is able to laugh at himself and everyone laughs along with him.

@@ballistiklekent6541 why do YOU care i said that? I can make whatever comment I want.
People just don't get it, not many rappers could do this type of interview. They would feel too uncomfortable and out of place. ASAP is one of the few rappers that can go to Oxford and be completely authentic. That's what I like about ASAP, he doesn't buy into that confinement mentality. And no one should, we all have the rights to experience different environment. It's the best way to grow.
Calm down. read my previous comment carefully. I said ASAP is one of the "few". Guys like j.cole, kendrick and NAS are obvious candidates. That goes without saying. What I meant is that ASAP can do this interview and be completely raw and authentic. Other rappers can but not all.
haile 89 Definitely and for the record off camera he chilled with us and was a genuine authentic positive guy.

The focus should be on what he's saying, not on how he's saying it. Picking apart someone's language is the oldest trick in the book in trying to invalidate what a person is saying. If you cannot see past certain words and focus on their meaning then that's a reflection of your level of intelligence, not the person who is talking.

Rakim is a perfect example of how a man should be: A mix of street smart, intelligence, respect, and gangsta. He's funny too.
Legit though. I hesitate to use this term, because I've always been pretty independent in how I view myself and my ambitions. But he is a kind of idol for me. Even at the age of 29 I'm not afraid to admit that. I've got all the intelligence you can ask for, studied at Oxford, got a good job at a great company, but to combine that with a sense of bravado that is still reasoned and in good taste, is a rare combination man. So I salute him as a man to aspire to. He has a tremendous amount of contextual intelligence (similar to common sense, but is more comprehensive and intricate and, as he pointed out, quite rare).

Rocky is the smartest, dopest, most talented dude that I've had the pleasure of being in the studio with. It was a 10 hour session and felt like 30 minutes. Spoke the most realest words and changed my look on a lot of shit. Being just the intern at the time and just being a fly on the wall, he talked to me like I was someone which is rare for any artist to do! I have stories that I'll remember for decades because of this dude.

ASAP Rocky dealt with those last two questions so well. Brought the conversation back down to a respectful level. Didn't take offense, acknowledged their feelings, gave them his perspective and got a few laughs. Unreal for a 27 year old.
"smokin cigarettes and drinking juice."- A$AP Rocky
First time I heard LSD it put me in that moment when you've dropped with yours pals, you're smoking staring at the nights sky with all the wonder and mystery of the world on your mind. for an artist to be able to make you FEEL those emotions, damn that's some honest talent.
Truue
Its those emotions that inspire people to become artists
Damn man i felt the exact same!
best feeling!
The whole album fire. The first fire too. Hoping the third is the best.
One of the best interviews I've watched in my life!! And i never get tired of it
Rocky has a switch that if you word things a certain way, or assume anything, he's quick to let you know what's up... I fuck with that shit lol

for everyone calling asap an idiot, i see a video with only one apparent SELF MADE person in a room and thats him. and following his true passion. the rest are studying books because thats what society tells them to do. don't get me wrong, nothing bad with school but i am sure that 90% of the people in that room are not just in school because it's their "passion"
i said 90% for a reason. it would be ignorant for me to assume everyone.
even 90 percent is a reach tbh you'd be surprised how many people, at that particular events like my friends that I invited don't fit h
that mould. dont get me wrong tho I fully understand your point
Barmu lol bro it's so much complex than that
Raffy B There might be only one millionaire in the room, but every kid in that room that is heading towards higher education will be the ones that actually make a difference in the world. I'm not knocking Rocky at all and what he has accomplished because I am a fan of his music, but please do not try to devalue the average person in the room; they will be the scientists and doctors that pave the way to our future.

Funny how so many people are blindly dismissing Rocky based on the notion that he's not 'intellectual' enough without considering him at all. No one's providing reasons or any tangible arguments as to why Rocky doesn't belong here, as you would assume an 'intellectual' would do. Everyone's just propagating hate because it's the easiest thing to do when someone challenges your preconceived notions of respectability, especially in an elitist setting like OU. It's nothing but ignorance.
That sounded smart as shit
Any answer to the question wheter he is intelligent or not is ignorance.
a) He is clever not to talk about shit because he isn't supposed to
b) He is stupid not to talk about shit because he doesn't know shit.
c) His opinion is intelligent but the topics unimportant
d) His opinion is stupid because the topics are unimportant.
Just choose whichever you like it does not matter at all.
***** ur an idiot he doesn't have to speak on anything he doesn't want to
those people are haters my friend, let them be haha. he is here for a reason.
***** Because he is a dumb idiot who shouldn't be allowed to speak in public.
It is SUCH a shame that a room full of otherwise intellectually intelligent people can also be so close-minded and not respect Rocky's perspective. Words are just fucking words. All that matters are your intentions and the context of which you use them in. Just because Rocky says "bitch" or "nigga" doesn't mean he's trying to be derogatory. That is clearly just the world he comes from and what he is comfortable with. Just because some meaningless word is offensive in your mind:
(1) doesn't mean you are right to be offended (2) you have to seriously think about the word(s) that supposedly offended you and WHY? Are you really that weak-minded that all it takes is an amalgamation of letters to set you off? There should be NOTHING anybody can say that negatively impacts your mood. Don't give these words power that isn't there! (3) it isn't anybody's responsibility to sensor themselves around you because you can't open your mind from all of society's bullshit political correctness and expectations.
+xfactor541 So you'd be cool if one of your enemies walked up to your one of your female loved ones in the grocery store and started to describe her as a promiscuous woman worthy of being shot?
lifestraight That situation just wouldn't happen. And if it did, I truly would not give a shit & nor would any girl that I mess with. I was clearly talking about being offended in the context of somebody just saying certain words (NOT DIRECTED AT ME) as that girl & interviewer were implying. As I said, intention & context are everything. Getting angry or offended as if you are some kind of moral/righteous God just over the simple fact somebody says "nigga" or "bitch" in a song is INSANE. But even if it did have malicious intentions - ITS JUSTS WORDS. Get over your ego! There is literally nothing you can say to me that will offend me because even if you are trying to I STILL DON'T CARE.
+xfactor541 Noooo, you said " Are you really that weak-minded that all it takes is an amalgamation of letters to set you off? There should be NOTHING anybody can say that negatively impacts your mood. " If that's the case you shouldn't be offended if someone calls your mom, girlfriend, or sister a bitch. Or tells you that you are lousy at something you are passionate about. You contradicted yourself heavy. You are trying to say words are just an amalgamation of letters and there should be NOTHING anyone can say to negatively impact your mood, but then you admit that intention and context matters. So if those things matter then there is some weight to the word.
+xfactor541 I totally agree with you and I get your point. Good job
Exactly. This makes no sense. The same damn arguments from since NWA came out. They need to find something new to complain about because this shit is old.
I watched this whole thing. Let me just say, I think I am on the road to become a fan and I will go listen to his music because he is so well spoken and has a message
He's an awesome human being. People say don't meet your heroes because we often idealise these people based on a particular dimension of their character/being which gave them the widespread recognition we know them for. But they are all still human with 'flaws' and their own flavour of stubbornness, hypocrisy, and mistakes, which breaks the illusion for many people.
I love Rocky because he owns that. He doesn't try to sell you an idealised persona that will appear flawless. He will argue with reason against certain criticisms, of course, but he is happy to demonstrate his limits and shortcomings. So don't be surprised if you find some troublesome lyrics. He does regret a good deal of it now. The most interesting thing about his music is its development. Even though all of it clearly demonstrates his talent.
did he just end it with a rap line!! crazy!!
yea its his song pharsyde very dope song
How did an hour go by that fast

Academic intelligence is not representative of intelligence in general, in any way shape or form.
+Llama Yes it is, it's an extremely close correlation. What a fucking stupid thing to say. Anyone who says something like that obviously could not get into any good university or make something for themselves.

So much you, who claim the "intellectual union" is tainted with Rocky's presence, have to learn. To define your claims in one word: Superficial.
You represent people who immaturely and superficially claim "intellect" as a very narrow, unrepresentative set of traits. Do not forget what intellect is; Rocky shows sophisticated understanding of emotion, art, music, and worship.
All that he has achieved is deserved; the sacrifices made (which you can not see) and the wisdom gained from his rise in the Arts yield his success. This, and more, is what qualifies his invitation to the Union.
jib14k Thanks bro, glad that people are seeing the perspective and able to enjoy without this unneccessary intellectual snobbery. Hope you enjoyed the interview, throw me any criticism etc and let me know what could have been done better or what you might have like to have seen would love to hear your thoughts
100 points to this guy! So true, just cause he dont fit your image of intelligent!
Well put fam
jib14k Thank Youu
jib14k you're completely right, that the idea that some bullshit 'intellectual union' is tainted by Rocky is ridiculous and snobbish. But, that doesn't change the fact that Rocky's answers reveal him to be devoid of anything interesting to say. He's very smooth, but entirely reactionary and empty, at least in the face he's portraying (which I don't think is his true self, it's the self he has to market to be popular and unthreatening).

Lol. Uhh. Pretty obvious claim but aight. True story
he's a great rapper and he inspires people that's why he was invited! Stop complaining!
I enjoyed this. Rocky is a really articulate and cool guy. To the people that said "he's not intelligent"
No one cares. They are different types of intelligence. He's rich, so he's definitely putting his "unintelligent" mind to good use.
Why this isn't in "CRAZY LIT CONCERTS COMPILATION"?
He went off at the end
@Great White Cat watch the video. He starts free styling mid sentence
someone should have yelled "He doesn't even go here!" at the asian kid.
Rosey Bear lmfaoooo
LMAOOOOOOOO
why is this suddenly blowing up
What a gat damn way to end it. That pretty much sums it up. This guy is a musician, artist, poet. He puts his message in his medium. No, he's not going to be an expert on race relations... He's a "rapper". The end is really all you need to shut up and listen to.
"Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?" - Jay Z
Is that Jay Z quote from Renegade?
I feel like rocky never really answered the questions, but answered everything around it.
i feel like you should shut the fuck up
+bby dang you good?
lmao yeah im just fucking around
+bby dang lmfao I was gonna say is this what people are like now?
SamandRie yeah he does that in all of his interviews
Language is fascinating. ASAP is not only communicating with us through words by also through his demeanour, body language and mannerism. I really loved listening to him.
Fuck me! That asian guy had golden balls, he was actual fire, A$AP Rocky could not reply
when was that?
1:03:40
Nickhill De Silva I was cringing man
He had balls tho
wasnt fire, did have balls though
Asap was getting irritated by the end
Jay Kim One thing I've notice about ASAP, he doesn't try to put on an act and hide his true feelings. They just couldn't handle his free spirit.
haile 89 they couldnt handle his ignorance
nyeeezy How is he ignorant?, he was super chill through out the whole interview, he was answering all questions given towards him except the Rita Ora question lol and A$AP Rocky even went so far to take a selfie with a fan there and listen to that random guy rap to him, so again how in anyway was he being ignorant?.
U don't call ASAP rocky "ASAP"
He’s brilliant! So respectful and engaging - and smart! Really enjoyed his talk. 👍😊
Me too
The moment he speaks of the church, the church bells go off.. Creepy 32:24
Hes an angel thats why
CRAZYYYYYY!
Had no idea Rocky was quite this intellectual and articulate. Impressed.
+Morgan Hyde So impressed you wrote it four times! lol
The real fact is white supremacy thrives off of bigotry and ignorance of those around. Most black men and women are intellectual.
Emmanuel Northe How do you back up that myth lol? I don’t get why you have to go all racial on this one too.
Maybe it’s more to do with him being a rapper and being grown in the streets, not having high education, than about his skin colour?
Just a suggestion?
1:05:50 I know why you are here... You are welcome🤗
But now, that is why you need to look for the source and watch the whole thing instead of just a clip... Everyone is cutting the clip and making her look bad meanwhile she is cool👌
J cole needs to do this
+originaldiary Jcole is so boring
+the not so fantastic man no
+Nicholas Karavolos L
+Nicholas Karavolos Agreed

Collin Golden lol was joking btw:)
dragoshee wow no rly m8 i dednt kno :D
