The faces and names have changed, but the game remains the same. New York City is back at the forefront of the rap game. However, the faces are no longer Jay-Z and 50 Cent, instead the leaders of the pack are French Montana and A$AP Rocky. In addition to the newcomers, Busta Rhymes, Nas, and Jadakiss have all helped keep New York City relevant.
At the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, it was A$AP Rocky representing for New York City, performing alongside Rihanna. Their performance caught the attention of many, especially after A$AP Rocky grabbed Rihanna on her bottom and kissed her on the neck. During his time in Los Angeles, A$AP Rocky stopped by Bootleg Kev’s radio show and they discussed several topics.
During their conversation, A$AP Rocky would speak on his mixtape with the A$AP Mob, expressing disappoinment in the project. A$AP Rocky also talked about working with Rihanna on the remix of her single, “Cockiness.”
