Rakim Athelaston Mayers (born October 3, 1988), better known as A$AP Rocky, is a popular American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, model, actor, and music video director.Born in Harlem, New York City, he has spent most of his life in New York (though he spent his teenage years in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania). He is the best-known member of the collective A$AP Mob, and has been a major fixture in Swag Rap since he began achieving mainstream exposure in 2011.A$AP Rocky is known for his laid-back and smooth delivery, atmospheric beat choices, and unique fashion sense. His music is considered a fusion of Dirty South rap such as UGK and Three 6 Mafia and native New York-based artists like Dipset and Wu-Tang Clan, and has also been characterized by the sounds of cloud rap, with his collaborations with producer Clams Casino (credited as a pioneer of the genre) being hailed as instrumental in bringing the genre to the mainstream.To date, he has released one major mixtape (LIVE.LOVE.A$AP, 2011) and three major label albums (LONG.LIVE.A$AP, 2013; AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, 2015; and Testing, 2018), with the first two especially being critically acclaimed and commercially successful. He is in a long-term relationship with Rihanna, with whom he has one son (born in June 2022).Not to be confused with alt-rapper Aesop Rock. And yes — they have met. | |

Of Corpse He's Alive | |
| A$AP Rocky (Music) / int_49d5f48f | comment |
Of Corpse He's Alive: Downplayed as he isn't technically dead, but in the video for “Shitin' Me” he becomes overwhelmed with stress and passes out, in which three friends find him and start controlling his body like a marionette. They live out his career doing this from waving to fans, chilling at parties, to making music videos with his body. | |

Sampling | |
| A$AP Rocky (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: As with several hip hop artists, sampling is abundant, but is perhaps most notable in "Everyday" and "A$AP Forever," sampling Rod Stewart and Moby respectively. He also sampled Tame Impala in "Sundress" Moby actually re-recorded his own vocals from "Porcelain" for the latter, as well as Rod Stewart rerecording his vocals from his feature on "In A Broken Dream" for the former. | |

The Stoner: LIVE.LOVE.A$AP makes this abundantly clear, with multiple tracks about marijuana("Roll One Up", "Leaf") and codeine("Kissin' Pink"). It's been seriously suggested that the mixtape is meant to be listened to in an altered state of mind. He has openly stated that he sometimes records under the influence, such as when he revealed that both he and Skepta were on Acid while recording "Praise The Lord da Shine". | |
