When Harlem's own A$AP Rocky dropped his sophomore album At.Long.Last.A$AP back on May 26th, he caused quite a bit of controversy with some of the suggestive content his lyrics implied. Namely, the controversy stemmed from a couple of lyrical jabs A$AP made towards fellow artist Rita Ora on his track, 'Better Things'. Well in a recent interview, A$AP admits he regrets his lewd remarks about the UK pop star. -
ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa Announce 11-Date Fall European Tour
Wiz Khalifa and A$AP Rocky have both had what could possibly be the most successful year of their respective careers thus far and in doing so have decided to link up for a joint tour this fall that will probably be quite lit.

Florence + The Machine Tops Album Charts; Merle Haggard Sets Career Mark
The first sales week for Florence + The Machine's How Big How Blue How Beautiful was certainly the first (and possibly third) adjective featured in the album's title, as the third record from the songstress sold 128,000 copies and took the top spot on the Album Charts, holding off also-rans Taylor Swift and A$AP Rocky. It was the highest sales week of Welch's career. -
Florence + The Machine Take Top of Billboard 200; Taylor Swift + A$AP Rocky Stick Around
Florence + The Machine booked its first no. 1 effort on the Billboard 200 as mouthful How Big How Blue How Beautiful took the top spot with more than 137,000 equivalent album sales. Although only pure album sales were tracked at the time of the band's last release, Ceremonials, Billboard suggests that this was also the band's biggest sales weeks in terms of pure records as well. -
ASAP Rocky, Rod Stewart Mixtape 'Born to Be Pretty' Isn't Happening
Yesterday, A$AP Rocky fans had a field day after the A.L.L.A. rapper was quoted in an interview saying he was working on a mixtape with Rod Stewart hosted by Lenny Kravitz titled Born To Be Pretty. It was described as "definitely a panty-dropper" and was expected to be released sometime his summer. After the psychedelic nature of At.Long.Last.A$AP and the collaboration between Rocky and Stewart on "Everyday" with Mark Ronson, this almost seemed plausible. However, the "LSD" rapper took to Twitter today to clear some things up and say that it was all just a joke. -
A$AP Rocky's 'A.L.L.A.', Boosie BadAzz and Hillsong United Drive Album Sales

A$AP Rocky No. 1 on Billboard 200 Again; Boosie BadAzz, Hillsong United Follow
Another hip-hop performer takes the top spot on the Billboard 200 with a surprise album as A$AP Rocky and At.Long.Last.A$AP debuts with 146,000 equivalent units in its first week. That may seem like more than his last album, Long.Live.A$AP (which also debuted at no. 1), however that album opened with 139,000 actual copies sold, while the new Billboard metrics also take single downloads and streams into consideration. In that light, A.L.L.A. only sold 117,000 copies. Of course, week two could also be strong due to the surprise nature of the release. -
A$AP Rocky Finishing Unreleased A$AP Yams Album Posthumously
The hip-hop community and most notably, A$AP Mob was rocked by the news that the rap collective's founder A$AP Yams had died. It was later determined that he died of an accidental drug overdose, but his impact as a marketing and music mind lives on in the lives of others and through timeless pieces of sound. Before his death, Yams was working on an album and it has lain unfinished as his friends continue to work on their own projects and mourn his passing. Not all may be lost as A$AP Rocky has decided to take it upon himself to try and finish the album posthumously for Yams. This comes after A$AP Rocky just released his critically acclaimed sophomore album At.Long.Last.A$AP earlier this week. -
A$AP Rocky's Surprise Released New Album 'At.Long.Last.A$AP' to Debut at No. 1 Ahead of Hillsong United

ASAP Rocky Talks 'A.L.L.A,' Rita Ora "Better Things" Reference, Yams Death
The music community has been buzzing over A$AP Rocky's sophomore full-length album At.Long.Last.A$AP, which he released a week early on Monday. The LP features the likes of Kanye West, Juicy J, UGK and Lil Wayne and has been met with very favorable reviews thus far. The "LSD" rapper has been doing a lot of press lately to push the album and yesterday he appeared on Hot 97 with Ebro In The Morning for an interview. They discussed a wide variety of topics including the hot button issue of Rocky's very sexual reference of Rita Ora in the track "Better Things," the death of A$AP Yams and of course the album A.L.L.A. -
PacSun Shoppers Upset at A$AP Mob Shirt Featuring Upside-Down Flag
Pacific Sunwear picked the worst possible time to blatantly advertise merchandise from the A$AP Mob (home to A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg and others) that depicts an upside-down American flag. The store came under fire for carrying the product both in its stores and online when an aggrieved shopper posted a photo of a store mannequin wearing the offending piece of apparel. The black shirt features the flag upside-down on the front, with other logos on the sleeves.
