A$AP Rocky to Appear on April/ May Issue of Complex Magazine

asap_complexA$AP Rocky will appear on the April/ May issue of Complex magazine.

I’m always intrigued by him. He’s a pretty m*therfucker who f*cks b*tches. But he’s also the same person who is guarded about the current status of the relationship with his ex-girlfriend (or fiance depending on who’s reporting). He admitted to being depressed after their breakup and sounded on the brink of tears when he spoke of her in a recent MTV interview while at SXSW.

He’s often said he doesn’t give a f*ck about what people think, but he’s especially guarded of his next project – perhaps even fearful of the sophomore jinx.

No matter the polar sides of Rocky, I’m 100% here for it. He’s multifaceted like most people but unlike most he shows it and I’m drawn to the realness.

Here are excerpts from the interview:

You’ve been away from the spotlight a little bit. Was that a conscious decision?

Yeah. I needed time to master my craft. You don’t rush art, and I don’t think you quickly produce fine art. You take your time. That’s not an excuse, or me trying to justify [any delays], that’s truly what I believe. I took time off and learned how to act, learned how to make beats and do production.

How has the making of the music changed, then?

This is more free than I’ve ever been. I’ve never been this free making music, ever. I’m experimenting, listening, and looking for different sounds.

Looking back at Long Live A$AP, are there any regrets?

Yeah. I’ve got that cliché thing where I hate my biggest songs.

I remember Yams saying he didn’t like “Wild for the Night.” Would you ever make another song like that?

There’s no need to.

Are you living a more private life these days? You weren’t even at New York Fashion Week heavy this year.

I’m not private like I think I’m Michael Jackson or some shit. I’m just trying to, I don’t know, distance this space between me and social media. Me and…just media in general.

Why?

It’s the cliché: The media’s good for twisting stuff up and making something out of nothing.

For you, that’s new. What changed?

Maybe I came to the conclusion I just didn’t wanna talk to some motherfuckers no more. Why do we go from liking blue today to red tomorrow? I don’t know. Motherfuckers change. When I wanna talk, I’mma do it. When I wanna be places, I’ll go. I prefer to be free. And I feel like when you live that life of paparazzi, media, social media, when shit hits the fan, they’re gonna be the same people that destroy you. So I don’t wanna give them the credibility of making me, because when it’s all said and done, the motherfuckers won’t be able to break me.
