You do realise that this guy is self-made right? He was a homeless nigga before ASAP Yams (rip) contacted him. He came up with HBA and other fuccboi shit and brought the brand to his knees. Now he focusses on high fashion combined with streetwear.

You obviously dont know anything about Flacko.
All his albums have been released with the A$AP Worldwide label, which they have founded themselves. Most of the lyrics are written by Rocky himself, as can be seen in his freestyles. He learned to dress himself and only has 1 stylist, Matthew Henson, who already said that Rocky has a natural feeling for style and he only puts the fits together, Rocky chooses the designers and pieces.

Rca and Polo Grounds were used by Rocky for funding his own label so he now subreleases the albums to all of the three. I cant give exact figures on how much but Long.Live.ASAP and LiveLoveAsap were all written by Rocky Himself. Beats are mostly Clams Casino and others but most rappers dont produce for themselves so I dont see it as an issue.

>> No.11434013

>>11434006
umm no he doesnt, he posted a few mediocre beats but thats it
its not like every rapper produces his own shit, only a chosen few (rza, kanye), the guy youre replying too doesnt have a clue about the genre apparently

I adore Rocky, but Im quite sure the everyman could look like him if they simply had access to his resources.. He's just a canvas. I've seen the pics of him before he got money, and he dressed like your basic street hood..

At least rocky contributes something. that dirty monkey nigga Ian Connor on the other hand though...

I reckon he does do most of his shit but him being in Dior is a fucking disgrace. He's just like any 'trendy' normie only with money to blow on the actual designers instead of the H&M/Zara rips.

He was homeless in his early teen years I recall, (homeless as in living in the shelter system, which isint as bad as it sounds, but still shitty) and he bounced around different states with his family during that time, that's where he picked up that "Trill" wave during his time in the south.

Yams was a nerdy grunt intern for a rap label when him and rocky became friends, they simply combined there talents and resources to become what they are.

And I heard Rocky lived primilary in the Bronx, he just hung out in Harlem.

An inspirational story nonetheless.
