vintage car jaguars
I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
rap thinking artist
I really want to do the unexpected, and I think that's what I did when I executed 'Long.Live.A$AP.' I wanted people to really see the message and that I'm an artist who not only has the capability of rapping, but of composing great music both for people of my generation and for people with different backgrounds.
school people albums
People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.
mom kids home
I was ashamed to let anyone know that I was living in a shelter. I remember one time coming home and some kids saw me and were like, "What you doing here? This is a shelter!" But I was like, "My mom's working there." It was pretty embarrassing.
fashion looks want
I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
done violent despicable
Probably, violent things I've done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I've ever done.
song ems favourite
I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
boys artist hands
When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I'm co-producing on my album; I'm hands-on with everything. I'm more than just a pretty boy: I'm an artist. I'm not saying I'm a hip-hop music artist, I'm an artiste.
new-york rapper
I don't even like New York rappers.
gay clothes rights
I haven't been a gay activist. I haven't protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.
art rap men
Man gave us laws, and God gave us time, It's the art of storytelling and I'm only telling mine.
mean role-models perfect
Everybody should be able to enjoy their life, because you only live once. So I just want to get it all out there and be the best role model that I can be, if people want to put me in that kind of predicament. I mean, I didn't ask to be a role model, because I'm not perfect.
heart shining good-heart
God is letting me shine, because I've got a good heart.
dresses emotion spontaneous
I dress how I feel. I just go off emotion. I can't prepare my outfit a day before. Everything I wear is spontaneous.
