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.

Aman Singh honestly why do you care, I highly doubt it doesn't seem like it, do you just think because he's done drums before? Don't know what your getting at
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.

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.

I have stories that I'll remember for decades because of this dude.

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).
@@SuperLoveSafari I think things might be a lot more chaotic if everyone acted how they want to act. With nothing to hold you back you could say or do anything, ya know?
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.
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.
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.
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.

I Isaiah That's perfectly fine, if somebodies dream is to be a doctor then they need medical training. However the inquisitive nature required to be one of the best doctors cannot be taught.
Rocky I am your fan since day 1. I remember myself sending your first mixtape to all my friends and saying that one day you gonna be the biggest and you will change the game. I am so proud of you my friend. Your music shows me the way and I still follow that way. You are such an inspiration. I see you as a creative person not just a rapper. Well done Rocky.
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
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).
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"
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
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.
I love watching rockys interviews. He’s well articulate and takes care of himself like no other rapper, no matter what you say about his crew he is an inspiration all around showing us that you can have fun while still being an all around good human being. Good shit flacko
You can see how clever he is, how aware he is of the industry he belongs to. It's really impressive. Real pleasure to see he's a really nice and intelligent guy.
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.
@@connorendres4544 don't get me wrong man... I hav no problem with the guy.. In fact whole of india except for one religion loves Trump.. Strict actions... Bold moves.. Like our PM... We just hav the problem with his speech... Rest is all good...
Chase Myles yeah i know. im indifferent about him. i can tell your not just some crazy person who hates him. I just dont like how everyone has to bring him up when he has nothing to do with what is being talked about. ( not your fault. basically everyone in america does this.)
Chase Myles for sure. I loved when he was looking into buying greenland. He tweeted a picture of trump tower in the middle of greenland and the caption was “ i promise i wont do this to greenland.” funny ass guy
The way, for me, to rate intelligence is how someone can address a person and say something true and meaningful without shouting or screaming. Rocky only says things quietly and confidently, so much better than screaming slogans or using long words and complex sentences.
People have forgot about why rap blew up in the first place. Because it was so intriguing to hear theire side of the story. But since it's so mainstream today people think it has seized to be hip hop. Like people don't realise that it's still the same where these rappers come from. There's a reason to why fetty wap talking about the trap, there's a reason to why kendrick feels the way he does about the violence, there's a reason to why chief keef is the way he is. Don't compare the morale of their stories with your own if you didn't grow up in the world they're talking about.
Rocky the realest nigga out there, everythibg he says makes perfect sense and he has everything figured out. Kanye and Waka also have this kinda shit figured out, Flocko has the confident vibe that shows he knows where's he's going and what he's doing

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).
Oxford students love using the word 'like'.
+SufamiDan UK in general mate.
+Rivers idk I can vouch for brits overusing words, 'like' included. Even in oxford this happens
+SufamiDan I swear all British people like saying like on repeat. I say it all the time to help explain what im saying
I will use it from time to time but not nearly as often as these kids.
Maybe being nervous infront of a celebrity plays a part into that.
hes so well groomed. you can tell he has a lot of love around him.
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.
Aso Paso u guys say that now but have 5 million in your face and I bet you wouldn't be saying that its easy to say shit on the internet
i just feel like that chick at the end got smoked. asap rocky is a living legend in my eyes.
IS SHE A BITCH!?!?!?!?!?
Hahaha I would have loved for the camera to pan to her face right after rocky gives the 🖕 hahaha
@@nba543 it was amazing its almost as if it was fixed
Rocky a hero
She looks so beautiful 😭
I love watching rockys interviews. He’s well articulate and takes care of himself like no other rapper, no matter what you say about his crew he is an inspiration all around showing us that you can have fun while still being an all around good human being. Good shit flacko
Such an intelligent, inspiring person. Love his music, his attitude, his style. Always strive and prosper!
he's a great rapper and he inspires people that's why he was invited! Stop complaining!
ASAP Rocky is a very intelligent young man....love his smile and personality 👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Everytime I watch Asaps interviews I always gain new wisdom
He has the prettiest fucking teeth no homo
***** :)
I've seen you like 3 times in comment sections lmao
+Chi Migo Lol i'm on youtube 24/7 I don't have a life
+MeatySmirk I feel you
+MeatySmirk He brushes he's teeth with baking soda apparently
such a ray of sunshine, so well spoken, they did well
Watched the whole thing felt like 20 min thats how entertaining this is
You can see how clever he is, how aware he is of the industry he belongs to. It's really impressive. Real pleasure to see he's a really nice and intelligent guy.
"the n-word is inevitable" Asap Rocky, 2015. A true gamer
Rocky has great vibes every time he speaks.
ASAP Rocky said the right things, much respect to you Rakim. LONG LIVE ASAP!!!
that was the most wholesome interview ive ever seen.
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.
the guy rapping made me cringe so hard but hey it's cool that rocky was so into it
Happy for him though! You can tell it made his day.
shutdfufup
yeah i cringed too but i was kinda hype
what time
That's hilarious because i have the same thoughts for this entire video
Nobody's talking about his laugh 😍😍
Rakim has such a good soul . I love him so much . He's a true artist and a genius .
what if rocky just stole that kids line in praise the lord lol
I noticed too! And how he mentioned the "practice all good from all religions". Did he watch this and get inspiration for testing 😂😂😂
@@skyerivers5122 lol
It’s Julius Caesar.
U K yeah he was probably reminded of this
10:25 "Skip Past All THAT fashion..." I can't remember the actual lyrics but it's in one of his songs
when an American rapper has more manners than an american President.......and they told us rap made u drug addicts and violent....
people always findin ways to throw shit at trump even when he got nothin to do with this
@@connorendres4544 don't get me wrong man... I hav no problem with the guy.. In fact whole of india except for one religion loves Trump.. Strict actions... Bold moves.. Like our PM... We just hav the problem with his speech... Rest is all good...
Chase Myles yeah i know. im indifferent about him. i can tell your not just some crazy person who hates him. I just dont like how everyone has to bring him up when he has nothing to do with what is being talked about. ( not your fault. basically everyone in america does this.)
@@connorendres4544 u hav to admit... That guy is a comedic goldmine...
Chase Myles for sure. I loved when he was looking into buying greenland. He tweeted a picture of trump tower in the middle of greenland and the caption was “ i promise i wont do this to greenland.” funny ass guy
He's a sweetheart!!! Smart, handsome, successful! He's got the whole world in front on him.... God bless, Rocky!!!
He sure has.
He's the best
I seriously look up to this man. I used to appreciate his music a significant amount but now I appreciate HIM.
The way, for me, to rate intelligence is how someone can address a person and say something true and meaningful without shouting or screaming. Rocky only says things quietly and confidently, so much better than screaming slogans or using long words and complex sentences.
I'm only 2.40 in so far but i just have to say what a gentleman, no bling full suit, and he sounds intelligent. Respect. Good example.
Isn't that weird that I understand someone from the hood better then some from the university 🤔
I understand him also more than british accent or other accents and im even from germany. Also my english is better than my german and idk why
@@kuebrastic1219 I hate British accent. They need to open their mouth so we can hear them
@@selflove3807 Lmao thats true
@@selflove3807 dude, listen to American only then lol
U can't change 1000s of years of language in development overnight lol
You know you have a serious A$AP Rocky issue when you actually genuinely want to spend your time watching him sit and speak for an hour and 15 minutes
But the topic he's speaking about is actually appealing and he's well spoken
i'm guilty lmaooo
People have forgot about why rap blew up in the first place. Because it was so intriguing to hear theire side of the story. But since it's so mainstream today people think it has seized to be hip hop. Like people don't realise that it's still the same where these rappers come from. There's a reason to why fetty wap talking about the trap, there's a reason to why kendrick feels the way he does about the violence, there's a reason to why chief keef is the way he is.
Don't compare the morale of their stories with your own if you didn't grow up in the world they're talking about.
like for real though i just realized this
Rocky the realest nigga out there, everythibg he says makes perfect sense and he has everything figured out. Kanye and Waka also have this kinda shit figured out, Flocko has the confident vibe that shows he knows where's he's going and what he's doing
A$AP is keepin' it REAL. Luv it.
He went off at the end
@Great White Cat watch the video. He starts free styling mid sentence
How did an hour go by that fast
John Smith cuz it's ASVP man.
amazing how he ended his answer to the last girl's question with his own lyrics 🙌🏽❤️ salute!
Activism captures creativity and she was captured by ideology. He won that round.
That was probably the best interview/ Q&A I've ever watched
