ASAP ROCKY - HOW TO SUCCEED CREATIVELY

After selecting all the possible options to use from ASAP’s interviews, I could’ve edited a piece twice this length. If there’s one thing that seems to link all the artists on this channel so far, it’s their open mindedness, taking inspiration from all kinds of artists and cultures around them - that sounds good to me.
Thanks for all the support that people are showing these videos. I’m really happy they are connecting with people and providing motivation. For more on Creative Minds, sign up to the newsletter, ready for the first issue drop next week: A look at how I want to try and turn the stage around and start to showcase the community here - insidecreativeminds.substack.com

I am a passionate creator myself, and I make these videos to inspire/educate myself and others. All the footage I have sourced is used under Fair Use.

Hey. Quick note I wanted to drop about the channel. In the future I want to make this a more collaborative space, where I can gather music/art from the community, turn the stage around, and highlight some of the artists out there in the audience.
To flesh out my plans for this a little, instead of a video next week I'll be dropping the first issue of The Creative Minds Newsletter (free - no payment required or expected), discussing my above ideas for community involvement, and the importance of valuing creatives in general. If you want to receive it, just follow the link below and drop your email to receive next weeks edition. Peace people much love - insidecreativeminds.substack.com

[@capro9627]

been following Rocky for years now and whether it's music, fashion or anything he does creatively it's always groundbreaking and pushing that specific art form forward. Rakim is a HEAVILY UNDERRATED visionary of our times, respect this man while he's here and we can witness his greatness.

Love that you included him appreciating other artists and taking inspiration from other cultures and movements. A powerful message of gathering inspiration from everything around us rather than negativity.

[@Varexerity]

if you wanna be successful sell your soul like the rest of these popular artist

[@doezoe333]

I can relate to Asap, true artist and real one. I cant sleep too and stand up like every hour at least 3 times and have less sleep because Im stuck into my music, art, clothing, creativity; crayitivity, but I know its meant to be and working everyday, while Im asleep/awake at the same time and even working in my dreams will pay off one day

[@SekaiShinjitsu]

Lets get it man🤝

[@leenslife4814]

Fuck yes. In the Same boat. Rewards will come later for now let’s build and grind

[@SekaiShinjitsu]

@@leenslife4814 yo, if any of you actually want to check out an other useful video, I suggest you search Iman Gadzhi. He's an entrepreneur who dropped out of highschool at 14 yo, but he says some stuff that can be appliable in our day to day life. So yeah, you could look him up, this isn't music related but I found a lot of his videos very useful. I'm rambling a bit, but I truly wish for our success, I know how far off we might think we are. However, Im sure that with discipline and consistency we can't fail. Eat, sleep, train, work and repeat. It will pay off, FUCK ALL distractions. WE WILL OVERCOME ADVERSITY, time is our biggest ally and also our biggest ennemy. We won't be 100% productive all the time, but we can't keep wasting our most precious ressource.
One last note: If you ever want to read a good book to help you change habits, I recommend Atomic Habits, by James Clear (found that book trough an Iman Gadzhi's video on books to read for self developpment)

Cheers Jonny. I have no plans to stop. 💪

[@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300]

What Rocky has you can’t teach you have to naturally have that. What comes to mind right now is that flow on Praise the Lord. That dude ASAP just got it. That’s why he pulled Riri because the dude is special. With Creativity you have to find your special. And and here’s a biggy you have to be out there doing shit only so many ideas and songs come from sitting in the house you have to go have experiences to write about!!
* full disclosure
Which was my problem never really traveled didn’t take any chances really.
Your never gonna know what you can do until you try.

[@user-tb9sq5po6z]

You a casual if you think Praise the Lord is one of Rocky's best displays of his talent. Far from it.

[@IntellectualBamboo]

dont think hes a casual but id agree @@user-tb9sq5po6z praise the lord is prolly my least favorite rocky song, rn fashion killa is goated for me, but not saying its his best work

[@KristoferBurns]

Asap rocky is one artist I can honestly say is different and has his own lane of music. You can’t copy what he does

[@terreylfields]

That was so good wtf!!! Didn’t know A$AP was THAT appreciating of the craftsmanship and depth of living as an artist inside!!!! Just made me love him 1000x more!!!

[@neotitan880]

Rumour has it that one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
