If you’ve ever been to one of my shows, you’d be like, ‘What the fuck did I just step into?'” I’m used to this happening – even when it’s not at one of these festivals, my crowd is real diverse. “There are people that don’t fuck with rap but fuck with A$AP, just because I give them a feeling that they can’t explain. “I got supporters from all demographics,” says the rapper. When the rain started and quickly intensified, no one in the crowd moved a muscle instead, they bounced along with the bass of “Hands on the Wheel” and supported crowd-surfers during “Wassup.”įor Rocky, a 23-year-old Harlem native who inked a deal with Polo Grounds/RCA late last year, performing at 5:30 PM to a crowd of indie rock fans is nothing new in fact, it’s sometimes preferred. An hour before speaking with, Rocky had wrapped up an unrelenting, brilliantly vacuous set alongside his A$AP Mob cohorts, stomping through “LiveLoveA$AP” cuts while threatening the audience to put their hands up. So it goes at Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival, where genres awkwardly bump against each other and tastemaker-approved artists unwittingly discover each other’s mass appeal. When he sits back down a minute later, he asks an ASAP Mob member to write the name ‘Dirty Projectors’ down and asks, “What do they make? Reggae?” When informed of the Brooklyn indie rock group’s handle, Rocky stands up to get a better view of the group.

“Who’s that?” A$AP Rocky asks when the Dirty Projectors begin their set and start emitting their pitch-perfect vocal harmonies at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival.
