ASAP Rocky The Frugal Punk Rapper

ASAP Rocky

ASAP Rocky

ASAP Rocky just played about 47 shows at SXSW and only had one of them turn into a riot.

Good for him.

On a related note, Rocky told Aaron about how punk rock (rap) he is for a feature in Spinner.

Great sample quote about how cheap he is:

“I don’t spend money like that, bro,” he says. “I don’t need to. I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist. Artists, they have mattresses, no box spring, sittin’ on the floor with a bunch of expensive-ass paintings, sippin’ wine with like three mad naked bitches. That’s what I am, a f—in’ artist. F— that other s—.”
