While speaking to the good folks over at HHW, Harlem bred rapper A$AP Rocky, who’s recently been building his reputation as quite the fashion trendsetter, recently revealed that he’s not into “rapper clothing lines” at all. The self proclaimed ‘Pretty Mutha F****” went on to explain why he doesn’t co-sign any “Hood clothing lines…I refuse man. I refuse. I’m good on that.”
“I might collab with designers, but that sh-t corny,” that PMF tells Hip-Hop Wired. “When rappers be doing that clothing line sh-t, that sh-t be corny man. That’s a slow reality show. Ya know how reality shows wash ni–as up. I feel that clothing line sh-t is just a slower reality show. That sh-t corny man.”
“I’m not no fashion designer. Just ‘cause I got good taste don’t mean that I know how to create it,” he added. “I feel that’s disrespectful. It’s just like record labels and sh-t. Just cause motherf-ckers know Hip-Hop doesn’t mean you know how to create it motherf-cker. Just cause you know it, don’t mean you know how to create it.”
So for now, the only A$AP Rocky gear fans can get a hold of will be their officially sanctioned collection of tees and tank taps. “I know brands well, I’m not a fashion designer,” reiterates Rocky. “It’s more to fashion than just fabrics and stencils. You gotta learn how to draw, you gotta know how colorways work and materials, it’s hard man.”
You guys agree with the A$AP Don? Are Rapper clothing lines played out??
