Harlem up and comer A$AP Rocky has teamed up with Global Editor Andy Capper of VICE to produce the video for Rocky’s oblique condemnation of materialist philosophy, ‘Wassup’. Those who can’t be bothered to listen to lyrics, i.e., simpletons like Trent Fitzgerald at Complex magazine, will woefully misinterpret Rocky’s lament against the trappings of material wealth as just another vapid celebration of the very things the song decries, further bolstering my theory that most people in the world are retarded, but I digress. Are we witnessing the birth of a fame-eschewing paradigm shift in hip-hop music!? Probably not. But the video’s still well worth a look.

The satirical elements kinda reminds me of Jay's "Girls, Girls, Girls" video. I don't get why Rocky titled it "Wassup" though. "Pretty Muthatfucka" would have been a little more interesting.
