A$AP Ferg Says He & A$AP Rocky Were "Bashed" For Their Trendsetting Fashion

[HowardHughes]

DX: How did the A$AP Mob then get introduced to you?

A$AP Ferg: A$AP Mob was a mixture of everything. We were always the black sheep within our crews. Even though we had our own separate crews, I was always different in my crew for different ways and misunderstood; Rocky was misunderstood in his crew. That’s how A$AP was formed. A$AP Bari and Yams started A$AP, and me and Rocky joined like two years later.

DX: What did you mean by being misunderstood? What were the misconceptions about you?

A$AP Ferg: We’re artists. We’re artsy people. So it’s sort of like the Jesus complex. You get called a “witch,” or you get called “weird” or “silly” for thinking a certain type of way, when in all actuality, artists look at the world differently.

We have a head of genius in us, because we could foresee the future. We can plan ahead; we can come up with fads and different trends that people don’t come up with. Whenever we started the whole tight jeans thing; we were called “weirdos” or “gay” whenever we wore tight jeans.

We wanted to wear Balmain jeans and wanted to wear $2,000 Rick Owens shoes. Now, it’s cool. Before it wasn’t cool, because how are you wearing that when you’re supposed to wear jerseys and a fixed up shirt? When we were ahead of our time, we were being bashed for it.

Who the F*ck does this nikka think he is calling himself a "Trendsetter"
No on knows who u are. No one knows your Music. No one cares about you

I thought he was pretty much talkin about how it used to be before no one even knew about them like that... like ppl who already knew them used to say/think they're weirdos?

how can u tell what they were wearing some years ago & were they bashed because of it or not? Unless u were hanging out with them n shyt?

DX: What’s the update on Trap Lord?

A$AP Ferg: Well, Trap Lord is going to be dropping early this summer. It’s a really, really good album. It’s put together very intricately, and I hand-picked all the artists I wanted to go on there. Nothing is mistakenly done. Everything is done on purpose, and everything is meant to be on that piece of history. I got Onyx on there; I got Onyx and then I put Aston Matthews on the same track with Onyx. I got a song called, “Lord” with the whole Bone Thugs family, and then I got a track with Clams Casino, which is crazy. It’s called, “Uncle.” That’s like a whole Tyler Perry movie within itself. I got a song with A$AP Rocky, which is stupid. I don’t want to quote it, but I saw a lot of good things going on with it.

Onyx & Bone Thugs are gonna be on his album...

They're talking about within their little groups before they got famous, they were the first ones to wear tight jeans... Don't you people understand "context"?

And who cares how much it will sell... the album will more than likely be dope

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

I think what he should be saying is that they're trendsetters via following virgil abloh/kanye's lead

 

[RAX 010]

I like these kids....they're unique

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Rap game became show and tell

It's purely entertainment now, ala WWE

I think that's why I'm starting to move towards other genres

 

[mortuus est]

the only way u can be a trend setter is if u bring back xxl t shirts
