A$AP Rocky Answers 21 Questions with NY Mag

NY Mag catches up with A$AP Rocky for their 21 questions segment where they talk about all things New York. Definitely worth checking out to get a little more insight in to Rocky’s life.


Name: A$AP Rocky
Age: 24
Neighborhood: Harlem-born, “but I now reside elsewhere in Manhattan.”
Occupation: Rapper. His “F**kin Problems” featuring Drake and Kendrick Lamar is nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video this Sunday at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
Who’s your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional? 
Bishop from Juice. I think the character’s whole rise and demise is comparable to my story line: Harlem-native kid, 40 Below Timberlands, ditching school, smoking weed, fucking bitches … But he can live vicariously through me because I didn’t make the same mistakes he did. I didn’t die.

What’s the best meal you’ve eaten in New York? 
I don’t know, because I don’t eat how I used to eat — I’ve been a pescatarian for the past two years. It started out for health reasons, but now I just don’t fuck with meat. Plus, if I say where I go, then people are gonna show up, so I don’t wanna say nothing, you know? And it’s not little girls. It’s fucking grown-ass men. It’s weird.

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
What I want.

What was your first job in New York? 
I’ve never had a job in New York. Growing up I did stuff that I’m not proud about, but I don’t consider that a job. It was a hustle.

What’s the last thing you saw on Broadway?
I saw something when I was probably, like, 6. It was some Christmas thing that my grandmother took me to. I would love to go. Are you gonna take me? Is that a date? I’m down for anything — fucking Phantom of the Opera, fuckingLion King … I’m so serious.

Do you give money to panhandlers? 
Yeah, I actually do. It takes a lot of courage to sit there and play your instruments in front of people who didn’t ask. To sit there and not worry about people judging you — I respect that because I know what that position is like. So I always try to help out.

What’s your drink? 
Water. I drink a lot of water. A few bottles a day, usually Voss. Norwegian is the purest. Second to that is SmartWater — I like the way it’s manufactured. I don’t fuck with Fiji water. Not to be picky or anything. I’ll drink some off-brand shit if I’m thirsty.

How often do you prepare your own meals?
Not often at all. I don’t know how. If I had to make something, though, I’d probably get my black ass into the kitchen and make breakfast. [Laughs.]

What’s your favorite medication? 
Weed. And promethazine codeine. [Sings] That purple drank.

What’s hanging above your sofa? 
A big-ass painting of fire by Ssur. You know that brand Commes des Fuckdown? That’s actually an artist called Ssur. It’s a painting by him.

How much is too much to spend on a haircut? 
Shit, man, I spent like $300 one time. That’s way too much. I didn’t even get a haircut, I just got it braided in my hotel room.

When’s bedtime? 
Whenever I fall asleep. I’m so serious.

Which do you prefer, the old Times Square or the new Times Square? 
I don’t know. Of course everybody prefers the old things because of the memories, but the new Times Square is dope. It’s culture.

What do you think of Donald Trump? 
I don’t know what to think of Donald Trump. I don’t know him; he’s richer than me. I don’t have no business talking about him.

What do you hate most about living in New York? 
Traffic. And bad drivers.

Who is your mortal enemy?
Negative people. Racist people.

When’s the last time you drove a car?
Probably, like, last month, in L.A. (I’m bi-coastal now). I’ve been driving since I was 18. Me and my best friend taught each other how to do it on the street in Harlem.

How has the Wall Street crash affected you? 
I mean, it really didn’t. To an extent it affects all of us, but personally in a dramatic way I don’t see much of a difference.

Times, Post, or Daily News?
All three, delivered. And WorldStarHipHop.com.

Where do you go to be alone? 
Out of the country. Berlin’s one of my favorites. I’m just out there riding bikes and pretending I’m European and trying to fit in.

What makes someone a New Yorker? 
You gotta be born here. Born and lived.

Email Exchange – MTV The Challenge: Rivals 2 – Episode 5

There are few things in life that will bring Shivam Amin (@SugarShiv) and Dante DiNardo (@DanteDiNardo) to debate: sports, fantasy sports, girls, movies and of course – MTV Real World/Road Rules the Challenge. This season the Challenge is back, with the show’s latest installment, Rivals 2.

via mtv.com

The premise of the show is simple: past cast members are paired with their fiercest rival from previous seasons in a game of various challenges and obstacles for a cash prize in the end. 

The following are REAL emails shared between Shivam & Dante.

       Shivam & Dante

DISCLAIMER: If you are offended by occasional crude language I suggest you stop reading now. Also it must be noted that Shivam, Dante nor dhosmer.com are racist or prejudice towards any certain groups of people.  Except Riley Cooper.

Terms, abbreviations, etc may be used that the general public may not know can be found in the glossary at the bottom of the page. If you see something and don’t know what it means, go to the bottom and get hip to the lingo.

Strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride.

Shiv

Dante I need to control myself from talking about Zach’s epic let me repeat EPPPPPPPPPIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC performance post  Jungle until later, but wowowow. That was amazing. Let me start with his meltdown at the beginning of the show. As we have spoke about before, there is nothing to do in the house when there isn’t a challenge,  Jungle, or club time. When he went insane on the camera crew and production because of a “tummy ache” the rest of the house was awarded with the pleasure of watching this meltdown.

Of course Knight was there to console him, if you consider giving him things to break as consoling him. Knight is funny man, I don’t care what you say. He’s such a frat bro and it’s awesome to watch him do something stupid each episode. Frank was not happy with Zach’s tirade as evident with the after show. Side note, why do Frank and Zach act like an old bickering couple that has been together for years? Frank was about to cry about what transpired and Zach was refuting everything like it was alright. Johnny Mosley was probing them with questions over and over. Johnny Mosley is the man.

Dante

ROID RAAAAAAGE!  Wow.  That is the only explanation I can come up with for Zach’s meltdown.  Going off on the production crew made no sense.  I just became an uncle, and I have a stomach ache, so FUCCCCKKKKK THIS. Zach, your main souce of income from the last five years is from filming reality television, now all of a sudden you don’t want to be filmed? I understand when a mid-detox tweeker on Celebrity Rehab flips on the cameramen, but he’s on an exotic island where he gets to play games for a living while being surrounded by beautiful women looking for no strings attached fun.  He had to be juiced out of his mind, unlike Wes. #112lbs.  That after show was entertaining.   Johnny brought the heat with that line of questioning.  Besides Frank’s emotional therapy session, and Zach’s cocky denials, there was so much Wes-Leroy beef.  It was good enough that Johnny called out Theresa on being second choice to Jemmye.  But to then have Wes come out and put Leroy on blast about it made the drama meter on that stage go through the roof. That after show just served up three teams for Rivals III: Frank/Zach, Wes/Leroy, and don’t forget about Theresa/Jemmye.  I have a feeling Jemmye isn’t going to appreciate being called crusty on national television.

Funnier frat boy: Knight or Johnny Bananas?  I’d also like to hear your thoughts on the classic Johnny screw job that sparked this Frank and Zach feud.

Shiv

Dry snitching made an appearance on the after show compliments of Wes. What is dry snitching you ask? It is the act of snitching with the sole purpose of telling someone something that shouldn’t be spoken out loud but doing it unknowingly. Wes told a story that Lee told him in confidence about wanting to hook up with Theresa. It was a real dick move considering he was on national television and because he was sitting with Theresa and Leroy on the couch. Lee had the most disgusted look on his face when Wes told the story and told him that he was a hater for even bringing that up. Wes laughed like he did nothing wrong, but he def broke bro code. Real fuckboy move if you ask me and I am a Wes fan. I agree 100% with you about three new teams for Rivals 3, the script wrote itself! Theresa with that CRUST ether on Jemmye ahha, that was cold bloooooooooooddddeeeddddd (Rick James voice.)



Knight is the biggest frat boy man. He drinks alcohol out of random vases and shit. Like why do that if there are plastic cups around? What possesses someone to be like “lemme drink outta this vase over here”???? That is a typical frat boy move, he probably learned it at a drink wine out of a vase frat party back in school.

The Johnny screw job was so easy to see. They have no control over any of the other guy teams, Wes/CT are running those guys. The thing that will help Johnny and Frank out was the Jungle match up of two power houses. I will let you elaborate on how that went down and your thoughts behind that whole voting debacle.



Dante

Wes is such a dick, but he is still the original mastermind of The Challenge. That scheme he hatched with Diem to target Leroy and Ty paid instant dividends. No way he could have expected those girls to vote as naively as they did. Theresa with some of the worst strategy this show has ever seen. I get it. Throw out the name of the guy you’re banging, and you don’t have to catch any heat from the team you would have otherwise voted in. You can’t just be dropping names like that. Votes are priceless on The Challenge. If you drop the name of the guy that you are protecting, all these other schemers are going to jump on that like a pack of hyenas.

With Ty and Leroy getting voted in, we were set up for quite a matchup in the Jungle. Ty is notoriously Charmin soft, but when he was standing next to Thor I was thinking, “OK this is a size matchup that can give Zach some trouble.” I was hoping for a physical elimination challenge, but didn’t get one. Instead I got something better. Zach’s testosterone levels raging.

Shiv

This GIF of Zach throwing his helmet is probably my vote for GIF of the year. Watching this live I completely lost my shit and was keeled over in laughter. He finished the Jungle and called everyone out in the stands mixed in with some f bombs. Then he rips his helmet off and launches it right at Jordan. I mean, you cannot fucking script shit like this. This is what makes the Challenge the best show on tv. Zach has NRFHL and this helmet toss is one reason why. I will elaborate this with a one time Sugar Shiv GIF breakdown:

Zach launches his helmet immediately after ripping it off of his head. Most people would fumble the transfer from head to hand in the quick motion that he did it in, but not only does he hold onto it, he throws it with enough velocity and arch that it is able to hit his target. His target, of course being the innocent bystanders watching him go ape shit, but there was one person who wasn’t watching at that exact moment. Lowly old Jordan had his head down for a split second to miss what was about to occur. Everyone moved out of the way that was within about 5 feet of the helmet in air. Diem shrieked in horror, hid her face, and turned her back to it. Paula Walnuts sidestepped out of the way with her hands in the air. Frank even moved out of the way and he wasn’t even close to it. Jordan somehow saw the helmet, midair, as he shifted his eyes back towards Zach and ducked his head, to let his back absorb the blow. This couldn’t have been played out better in Hollywood, Pixar, CGI, etc. It is so amazing that I spent 5 minutes looking at it for no reason. I even snapchat the GIF to people. I can’t get enough of it and I may or may have not bookmarked the page I found it on. If I am ever feeling down in the dumps I know what will bring a smile to my face. Thanks Zach and Jordan.

After Zach and Trey think they have won we were all expecting TJ to tell them that they killed it, but he didn’t say it. Instead they were DQ’d because Zach couldn’t control himself from turning into Meat Head Thor and did not follow the alternating rules in the tower of destruction or whatever the fuck it’s called. Ty and Lee were saved by pure aggression. It was like the equivalent to winning a game on a Hail Mary play and then getting it called back because a guy lined up offside. Side note, Leroy took the worst strategy in cutting the chain link fence. I do not need to elaborate on that, anyone with a brain would agree on that and probably said the same as they were watching it. Gotta give it up to Theresa for “giving it up” to Leroy when they got back to the house. Christ, that’s the least she could have done!!!!

Dante

 Zach’s a fucking maniac.  There was a Goldberg-esque ”who’s next?!” call out in the middle of that freak out.  You gotta love his explanation for throwing the helmet: “Because they’re all a bunch of bitches.”  Brilliant.

 So many plot twists this week.  I hope you caught that midseason preview at the end of the After show.  There is even more drama about to pop off in the coming weeks.  I can’t wait for CT and Bananas to get into it.  That girl fight looked insane, and this CT/Diem love story is not done either.

Glossary of Terms:
GOAT – Greatest of all time
NRFHL – No Regard for Human Life
NRFHOL – No Regard for His/Her Own Life
Killed It – This is TJ Lavin (the hosts) favorite saying. If he says it, that means you either did really good in a competition (probably winning it) or an elimination challenge (ditto)

Shiv

Last night had a lot of twists from my previous predisposed feelings on the show, no I did not start liking Jasmine’s hair, I am talking about some other stuff. First off why doesn’t Diem just own the short hair look? This isn’t fucking breaking news to us, we were introduced to her as a surviving cancer patient. We have seen her short hair numerous times on these shows, I don’t understand how this is still an issue. CT is Diem’s kryptonite and as much as people might hate on him for hooking up with other chicks and eating people after he beats them up, he is super nice to her. He even said in last night’s show that she should keep her hair short.

These two are like the Barack and Michelle of dysfunctional television

Speaking of hair, Jasmine thinks she’s rocking that look, some may even go as far as saying that she is owning that look. If she is owning anything it is that she is a real life troll doll. She has gone off of her rocker, that shit is so flagrant on so many levels.

I know you are going to try to clown me on this next statement, but Jemmye was looking fine AF last night man. That body was looking serioussssss. When she isn’t trashed and/or crying/yelling at Knight she looks normal. It is only in those instances when she is in pure rage, does her face contort into demonic forms with mascara streaming down her face. Leroy knows what’s up, he was about to hook up with her, but it looks like he took his talents to Theresa’s South Beach instead. Leroy might be the coolest guy to hang out with on these shows, he is just a normal dude. Speaking of dudes, Knight takes the MVP honors of last night for his 5 minutes of on screen coverage last night. Even though they finished last in the challenge itself (it is not fair that he has to pair with a guy like Preston, who brings nothing to the table in terms of physical attributes (side note I have an idea for the next season that I will harp on later)) but he poured ketchup on Jemmye. This wouldn’t be a big deal, but it is. JEMMYE HAS A KETCHUP PHOBIA AND HE KNOWS IT. Hence the episode being named Mortuusequusphobia aka the fear of ketchup. I will let you ride on that.

If I told you that the girl in the back was bottomless and the girl and guy were fighting because the guy put ketchup on her and she has a fear of ketchup so she hit him would you believe me? No?! If I said it was the Challenge though? Then OF COURSE!!

Dante

Sometimes I think if Diem wasn’t a double cancer survivor, she’d be one of my least favorite cast members.  She can have CT whenever she wants, and instead chooses to be on some jealous shit.  We saw the worst of her on this episode, writing a hate rap on Nany, and then not only denying it to her face, but also in the confessional interview. What’s the point of that? Shes a professional liar, dude.  She couldn’t even be straight with a camera and some MTV producer.  And the hair thing just adds to her weirdness.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say I understand the psyche of a double cancer survivor, but its obvious to everybody but her that she’s past the weird, patchy, chemo hair stage, and should just be rocking that short hair look.

I used to think Jemmye was hot when she wore nothing but Knight’s bed sheet for most of that season of The Real World, but lately her white trash make-up and ghetto mannerisms have me thinking she’s ratchet.  Maybe I’ve just seen the Jemmye Monster come out too many times.  It scared the fuck out of Leroy.  No hesitation to move on to the back up plan Theresa.

In the words of TJ, Knight is on the list of people Dante really isn’t feeling at the moment.

I’m so tired of Knight.   Preston’s a bitch, don’t get me wrong.  But I still hated his scumbag moves in the challenge (went in saying he wanted Preston to run this challenge, then throws him under the bus immediately after). Later in the episode, and not for the first time this season, we see this dude ruin a good moment.  One of the finest girls in the house is walking around with nothing but TV blur over her genitals, and he has to slap her ass right in front of his ex. Within seconds Jemmye was assaulting him, and Cooke’s shorts were back on.  Side note: Do you think she had super tiny underwear on, or was she naked down there? I say naked.  They were blurring that shit from the back, and the front.

Wes and CT need to bury their beef.  We expected them to dominate, and we haven’t seen it yet. I don’t know if their going to ever be able to get along.  What did I tell you about Jordan and Marlon?  They are quickly rising to the top, and Jordan just locked up that Jonna/Nany vote at the club this week.

Shiv

You have to think with the amount of booze, no television, and extreme heat to go along with being single in the jungles of Thailand, every night would be like Hedonism. And for sure Cooke was naked. These people bang in front of each other I would have to imagine. That had the makings of an orgy if it wasn’t for Ketchup-Gate. Might I add that Cooke had NRFHL walking around like that, I was speechless and in awe of her disregard.



Marlon and Jordan are definitely a force to be reckoned with this season. Marlon is an ex D1 linebacker at Texas Tech, which is pretty impressive in itself. Jordan is an anomaly though with that club hand, I don’t know how he does it. He is also bedding Jonna now, even after this exchange:

“I am like the Great Gatsby” – Jordan
” What the fuck does that mean?” – Jonna
“I’m mysterious” – Jordan



Poor Sarah lol. These people have no shame at all, jumping dick to dick. I am surprised Thor hasn’t even talked about his hook ups with Jonna from last season. It hasn’t even been alluded to at all. Side Note: Why is Thor only shown working out now? I think there were like three different times last episode where he was working out.

I think Wes and CT are fine in the whole scheme of things, but the thing that could fuck them over is something you mentioned earlier, that being Diem. She is an idiot for making a rap. She is an even bigger clown for making a diss track and then reneging that she made the diss track. Who makes a diss track and then goes back on it? The Wes/CT alliance needs Cooke and Cara Maria gone and as long as Emily is around that should be easily managed. She wins everything.

What are your thoughts on the next season of the Challenge pairing strong players with weak players to even out the playing field. So this season we could have seen something like Preston and Johnny or CT and Emily and Anastasia as a team. They need to do this, it could be interesting. I need to get in touch with someone at Bunim Murray!


Dante

I saw Thor on some weak ass youtube interview laughing with CT, Leroy, and Knight about all of his ex’s from the show.  He laughed and said, “my lineup is legit.”  Dude’s life is all about lifting weights, and crushing ass.  I can’t hate on that.  Maybe the show’s producers are only showing one side of him, but I think its more likely that he really does lift every time they have downtime, especially after a less physical challenge like this week’s.

 

Your idea for next season would only work if they somehow signed up a hall of shame list of past challengers.  The worst performers of all time paired with psychotic win at all cost type champions like Frank or Zach would be interesting.  I think its more likely that the show’s producers will continue to consider ability into their teams, but not frame a whole season around it.  Even this season,they seemed to mostly pair a physically big challenger with a small one (CT/Wes, Zach/Trey, Emily/Paula, Cooke/Naomi, etc.)  Battle of the Exes is still the best format, but it might take a few more seasons worth of hookups until they can do that one again. Leroy is professional comedian level funny.  That shit at the counter with Ty had me laughing off of my couch.  If Tech Money parlayed this show into a spot in Van Wilder, how has this guy not done something similar?

 

I’m surprised you haven’t brought up the fake elimination, and your boy TJ getting a stadium style ”wave” in his honor from everyone but the bitter girls that were about to get voted in. TJ walked up like he didn’t even notice the wave, but then still called those two sulking hoes out for not joining in.  Classic Teej.

Shiv

Lee has parlayed his likability from his past seasons into a job in Vegas throwing parties. In the words of TJ, he is definitely killing it.



*** By seasons end I will provide his business card or e card some how***

I like when people break down the imaginary wall of not looking into the camera and get away with it. TJ did it during the Anastasia debacle and Leroy did it last night. It is classic television.
The fake swagger that Jaz walks around with is really pissing me off, I don’t know why, but it just does. I know that she has crumbled in past challenges and she acts like she has done something to merit her big talk. All I know is that she dogs Tyree, but she also had sex with him. You can’t dog someone after that, you share a bond whether you hate that person or not. When it comes down to love that is a different thing, but in reality tv where everything is basically a numbers game and popularity contest, Tyree still holds the trump card of “I had sex with you, shut up.” That sounds chauvinistic, but it is what it is.

Jasmine acts so hard, its pure false bravado.  Small chick trying to scare people by acting crazy, and smashing mirrors. I can’t wait for her to go home.

 

That’s all I’ve got for this week.  Guy’s elimination next week.  I don’t know how long Knight can stay on this show.   He is the biggest asshole in the house, and the weakest competitor. We’ll see if he and Preston can find a way to stick around on the next edition of this show.

GOAT – Greatest of all time
NRFHL – No Regard for Human Life
NRFHOL – No Regard for His/Her Own Life
Killed It – This is TJ Lavin (the hosts) favorite saying. If he says it, that means you either did really good in a competition (probably winning it) or an elimination challenge (ditto)

Childish Gambino Debuts Short Film Clapping For All The Wrong Reasons (Video)

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino cryptically sent people to this link yesterday to check out his short film (preview?). No word on the origin of this, but I’m interested in seeing if this is tied in to his upcoming musical project.
