  • Susan Sarandon Shouts Out Action Bronson & A$AP Rocky, Says "Let's Blaze" A Joint

In an unexpected move, Sarandon took to Twitter to thank the rappers for their reference of her on Rocky's 2013 debut project Long.Live.A$AP, even offering to discuss the track over a joint.

  • A$AP Rocky Admits His Rita Ora Diss Was In Poor Taste

    When Harlem's own A$AP Rocky dropped his sophomore album At.Long.Last.A$AP back on May 26th, he caused quite a bit of controversy with some of the suggestive content his lyrics implied. Namely, the controversy stemmed from a couple of lyrical jabs A$AP made towards fellow artist Rita Ora on his track, 'Better Things'. Well in a recent interview, A$AP admits he regrets his lewd remarks about the UK pop star.

  • ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa Announce 11-Date Fall European Tour

    Wiz Khalifa and A$AP Rocky have both had what could possibly be the most successful year of their respective careers thus far and in doing so have decided to link up for a joint tour this fall that will probably be quite lit. Titled the "16 Day Trip," the 11-date tour will take the "See You Again" and A.L.L.A rappers across Western Europe for shows in the UK, France, Germany and elsewhere.

  • Muse 'Drones' Tops Billboard 200 Over The Rolling Stones, Of Monsters and Men

    Muse has long been a major name in the U.K. music scene, and now the "Dead Inside" rockers are seeing their first major success in America. Today (June 17), it was announced that the band's latest album Drones beat out Of Monsters and Men, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones and more for the top album in the United States.

  • Florence + The Machine Tops Album Charts; Merle Haggard Sets Career Mark

    The first sales week for Florence + The Machine's How Big How Blue How Beautiful was certainly the first (and possibly third) adjective featured in the album's title, as the third record from the songstress sold 128,000 copies and took the top spot on the Album Charts, holding off also-rans Taylor Swift and A$AP Rocky. It was the highest sales week of Welch's career.

  • Florence + The Machine Take Top of Billboard 200; Taylor Swift + A$AP Rocky Stick Around

    Florence + The Machine booked its first no. 1 effort on the Billboard 200 as mouthful How Big How Blue How Beautiful took the top spot with more than 137,000 equivalent album sales. Although only pure album sales were tracked at the time of the band's last release, Ceremonials, Billboard suggests that this was also the band's biggest sales weeks in terms of pure records as well.

  • ASAP Rocky, Rod Stewart Mixtape 'Born to Be Pretty' Isn't Happening

    Yesterday, A$AP Rocky fans had a field day after the A.L.L.A. rapper was quoted in an interview saying he was working on a mixtape with Rod Stewart hosted by Lenny Kravitz titled Born To Be Pretty. It was described as "definitely a panty-dropper" and was expected to be released sometime his summer. After the psychedelic nature of At.Long.Last.A$AP and the collaboration between Rocky and Stewart on "Everyday" with Mark Ronson, this almost seemed plausible. However, the "LSD" rapper took to Twitter today to clear some things up and say that it was all just a joke.

  • A$AP Rocky No. 1 on Billboard 200 Again; Boosie BadAzz, Hillsong United Follow

    Another hip-hop performer takes the top spot on the Billboard 200 with a surprise album as A$AP Rocky and At.Long.Last.A$AP debuts with 146,000 equivalent units in its first week. That may seem like more than his last album, Long.Live.A$AP (which also debuted at no. 1), however that album opened with 139,000 actual copies sold, while the new Billboard metrics also take single downloads and streams into consideration. In that light, A.L.L.A. only sold 117,000 copies. Of course, week two could also be strong due to the surprise nature of the release.
