As the anticipation grows for his sophomore album to drop, A$AP Rocky sat down with Complex magazine to talk style and fashion…. and dish a little tea on models.
Check out excerpts below:
When people think of who in New York City is absolutely killing it, they obviously think of you. Is there anyone else who embodies NY in the way they carry themselves and dress?
No. [Laughs.] Hell no.
Your friend Alexander Wang interviewed you and you said it’s a trip that the youth are the new arbiters of culture, dictating what’s hot and moving the conversation. Do you still think that’s true?
Yes.
What should those kids do if they aspire to be as jiggy as you are?
They’re gonna be way jiggier than me because they’re younger, they’re more advanced. At the end of the day, this is a blessing, but I’m not going to be who I am forever for New York. There’s gonna be another guy to come along and do it even better than I did it, and I just hope that me and that kid get along, so I can be happy for him.
The best thing to do is stick to your guns. I remember being poor and thinking, “Man, I wish I could afford those clothes that Pharrell is wearing, or Kanye’s wearing.” I couldn’t afford it, so I would get a girlfriend to do it, or I would hustle. All I cared about was my clothes. When I was still broke, I felt like I had more style. I still feel that way—well, maybe not for real. I just feel like there’s going to be another kid that comes along—maybe he’s not even going to be from New York—and he’s just going to represent fashion the way that I did, but better, or in a different form, and that’s all that matters.
What has gotten you in more with models—being fly or looking fly?
Not giving a fuck that they’re models is what got me pussy. Like, I’ve fucked so many models because I don’t give a fuck about them being models. Fuck ’em, fuck ’em, fuck ’em, you know? That’s it.

My two-cents: I always love seeing Rocky any where doing anything but… I need that man to drop an album A$AP.
