Asap Rocky Receives Accolade For His Music Videos ‘Give Me My Fucking Flowers’
Asap Rocky believes he finally gets his roses when it comes to his aesthetics because his music videos show he has a wonderful eye for art.
Lord Pretty Flacko confidently asserted that he believes he deserves credit for all the avant-garde music he has released throughout his career during an interview with complex that was published on Monday, December 5.
The rapper from Harlem asserts that videos are very crucial component of how listeners consume music. After the reporter stated that Rocky deserves more recognition for his work, he responded that he considered himself a visual artist and explained how he continued the legacy with his most recent music video “Shittin Me.”
“Man thank you for that, because I feel the same way,” Rocky said. “Tell them, give me my fucking flowers! I like roses, I like tulips, lilies, all that shit. I think that it goes without saying that I’m a visual artist. So a visual component to a song is so vital.
He added, “That’s my only way of expressing a song. I think that’s the last piece of execution when you’re making an actual song. From day one, I developed the reputation of being one of those visual artists, so this goes without saying that I had to kind of keep the tradition going with this one.”
The Asap Mob front man also revealed the creative process for “Shittin me” wasn’t a walk in the park. “The process was chaotic,” Flacko explained. “As you could tell, my aesthetic for videos now are more everything at once, just more chaotic, organized chaos. You noticed the aesthetics.
“I want to display that more because I graduated from giving you the cerebral, surreal, ghetto-fabulous lifestyle or giving them a look into a lifestyle they’ve never seen…. Now it’s more so about creating these worlds or scenarios in a more chaotic way because I think it is a nice way to display my ADHD.”
