A$AP Rocky shook up NYC last night and brought out special guests Bun B, Waka Flocka and ScHoolboy Q. Judging from all the tweets flooding my timeline, the show was live, polished and sounded like one hell of a good time. I’ve only seen Rocky perform twice but only as a special guest and he definitely rocks out on stage. Check out some footage above and after the jump. I also heard Waka Flocka, dubbed Pretty Gordo, came out on stage for a “Pretty Flacko” Remix. It’s that Pretty Gordo! Can’t wait to hear that mp3.
Highlights (in the long ass video above)
4:28 Bun B for “Purple Swag”
7:32 Brand New Guy
7:25 Rocky Crowd Surfing
8:00 School Boy Q – Hands On The Wheel
More footage after the jump.

During his last visit to Angie Martinez‘ show, A$AP Rocky revealed that his fanatic mother named him after the legendary emcee Rakim. Rocky told the story of his mother getting Rakim to sign his diapers when she ran into him while he was still a baby. Anywho, the two Rakims have never met, that is, until now. Watch a surprised Rocky meet his musical idol and call his mother to tell her the exciting news.
Part 2 after the jump.
A$AP Rocky teamed up with VICE to create a purple-themed video inspired by Scarface, Belly, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Um, yeah I need that two finger Blackscale gold ring.
Fresh off the release of Habits & Contradictions, ScHoolboy Q keeps the momentum going by performing for a sold out crowd at the Troubadour and bringing out A$AP Rocky for their first live performance of “Hands On The Wheel.”
Watch the official music video for “Hands On The Wheel” here.
Feelin’ the black-and-white visuals for ScHoolboy Q‘s A$AP Rocky collaboration “Hands On The Wheel.” The sample on this song is so addicting. Find it on ScHoolboy Q’s Habits & Contradictions available now on iTunes.

“This is the birth of Pretty Flacko.”
A$AP Rocky and crew will be dropping an album in February. No word if this track will live on the album but the A$AP Mob could remix it to “Pretty Flackos.” I know. I have awesome ideas.
