Disrespect Don't Work

A$AP Rocky and his group were performers at this years' SXSW event. While onstage performing, someone threw something at the stage and hit one of the A$AP group members. At first, Rocky was trying to keep the peace. The rowdy and unruly individuals kept antagonizing and throwing items even after the group pleaded with them and tried to keep the peace. I'm not a fan of alcohol at some events, it's not a good idea. Check the video.

A$AP Rocky Met The Man He Was Named After

A$AP Rocky is a hot new up and comer on the hip hop scene. He is a solo artist but he is part of a crew that is called ASAP (Always Strive and Prosper). His crew consists of not just rappers but managers, stylists, etc. Every person in the crews name starts with ASAP. It's like a family from China where their first name is their family name. They have other members that rap like ASAP Ferg, ASAP Twelvy & ASAP Pillz. While most names are street names, ASAP Rocky's name is short for his real name Rakim. ASAP Rocky's mom's is from Harlem and is a huge Rakim fan. She decided to name her son after "The God". He told the story on Angie Martinez's show and Angie Mar had a little something up her sleeve. Check out video of the show.
