The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am. That’s really the hard part.” A$AP Rocky I’m getting my respect as a video director. “Sometimes I feel like what’s hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. I wouldn’t mind collaborating with anybody, but I don’t want to design anything, I’m not a fashion designer. If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she’s got to take them off my feet and look inside. I don’t even have pierced ears – I’m not into that it’s too much.” A$AP Rocky With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day. Rappers wear diamonds to compensate for a lack of fashion sense. It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry. Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls! Nowadays, everybody wanna be weird. I’m obsessed with being different.” A$AP Rocky Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least. “You ready? I have gold teeth, I have braids, I’m wearing Rick Owens moon boots, I have rips in my denim, a biker vest, I love artsy girls, my favourite artists are Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. But it takes a lot to make me feel disrespected. The thing with me is if I feel disrespected I won’t hesitate to fight. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do. I’m a people’s person, believe it or not. There’s just so much out there and so much inspiration… I just want to be tasteful. My music is for everybody, it’s not just for one kind of group.” A$AP Rocky I’ve got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes. I’m talking about colors, religions, sex, everybody. “I want to be the first guy to help people accept everybody for who they are. I want to inspire people to really open up their minds and not be one-sided or biased or hypocritical. There’s not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything. God is letting me shine, because I’ve got a good heart. I want to inspire.” A$AP Rocky Man gave us laws, and God gave us time, it’s the art of storytelling and I’m only telling mine. “I want to make my own path and leave behind a good legacy for myself and honestly, I just want to be innovative and always down for other people.

"It's to the point where kids, male and female alike, will get in full arguments over why he's the greatest. "I feel like Raf Simons is important for the culture based on the fact that he built a whole new religion around fashion," the rapper wrote. Rocky even penned Simons' tribute when the designer was selected as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2017. For starters, he's frequented his designs, including one of his Calvin Klein looks for the Met Gala this year, where A$AP attended as part of his entourage. The fashion-forward rapper has sat front row at shows from Gucci to Dior, and name-dropped nearly every designer on the planet (including Simons) in his hit "Fashion Killa," but he has a distinct admiration for Raf. Now the lyric appears several times in his new song. The cheeky clip was in response to one of Simons' recent interviews, where he implied brands like Vetements and Off-White were not "original." Rocky responded with high praise for the designer in a tweet and that video clip. Rocky originally teased the track in January when he shared Twitter video with the lyrics "Please don't touch my Raf" from the studio. (Playboi Carti is apparently included in the chorus, too.) The song premiered on the Ocean's Blonded Radio station on Apple Music. The rapper released a new track titled "RAF," named after designer Raf Simons, early Monday morning featuring Frank Ocean, Quavo and Lil Uzi Vert. A$AP Rocky is undoubtedly a fashion fanatic, and his latest song just provides further proof.
