O say can you see? Yesterday, Lana Del Rey premiered her new JFK-inspired video with A$AP Rocky as the POTUS. In an interview with VICE’s Noisey arm, he discusses his role and how the video came about.
I love it, yeah. I think you make a great JFK. How did it come about?
Lana wrote the treatment with me in mind. She wanted me to be the lead guy. Shit is like, everybody knows we got a thing for each other and we wanted to show that on screen. She’s a genius like…. nigga look at this bitch, I wanna fuck the shit outta her. Look at her she’s gotta be in her late 30s and shit… Err, Hello?Haha. You’re not talking about Lana Del Rey there I take it…
Hahahaha nah, nah, nah. Nah, I was caught in the moment man; you know me Andy, cut it out man.Yeah I was like, “Wow, this is very forward of him.”
Nah she wanted me to be the main guy and she wrote the treatment herself and came up with all the ideas. She came you with all that shit herself. And this guy Andy, nah, Anthony, what’s this nigga’s name… Anthony Mandler shot it with some old cameras and shit to get the 1960s look and they had a set of extras. They had so many extras there, Interscope paid so much fucking money for this video that it’s not even true.I tell you man, on set, I never did any kind of shit like this before with this much people involved and nothing like that so when I came on set with everybody dressed like they in the 60s and shit I really thought I was in the 60s. I’m serious. All joking aside – it was so realistic, I’m like DAMN.
Yeah.
And so I got in character like, “Fuck that like, I’m gonna be the black, trill JFK.” But basically I was just me, I don’t really think I did JFK no justice, (laughs). I was just me and it was like, “what if JFK met A$AP Rocky?” And that’s what you got. She looked like Jackie O, and I was kissing the shit out of her all day and shit.

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
YEAAAAAH ASAP NIGGA
Bet if a white guy played MLK the media would be in an uproar…but a black guy playing JFK? Next!

My IQ level decreased more and more with every line I read…I fux wit dude, but his PR needs to get him some media training, A$AP…pun intended.
lmao nah… A$AP don’t need nooo PR. we need more raw unfiltered honesty (for better or worse, it’s real), and less scripted blahzay blah. i’m glad these youngins (OFWGKTA) and the A$AP mob… shit and Meek & Wale, too, even though they ain’t as young, they’re in the new generation. but i’m glad they keep it 100.
let these uppity white folks cringe. everytime. amen.

@Black Shady
Double what they did this time last year, projections for the #1 spot, and outselling R. Kelly? They definitely don’t look so bad, either.

Wtf is he talking about?
“Best Music Video In Years???” y’all niggas watch too much MMG/YMCMB videos… There are plenty of people putting out the same and even better music videos than this one evey year!
I’m NOT saying the music video wasn’t dope, because it was!
An ugly plastic barbie without talent and a wack rapper
typically today’s music.
mediocrity at its best.
