Kathy Griffin And Anderson Cooper Discuss A$ap Rocky & Danny Brown

YouTube Preview Image

Posting this one late because the power was out all day in Central Ohio because monsoon.

Last week we posted a video of A$ap Rocky & Danny Brown discussing older women that they would do it with for Noisey.  One of those women was Kathy Griffin. Well, Kathy Greffin saw the discussion and brought it up on her Bravo TV  Show.  Watch her and Anderson Cooper(!) talk about how they are feeling Danny Brown & A$ap Rocky and rap in general.

Video: Odd Future – “Sam Is Dead” Short Film

It’s too bad Tedd Koppel’s Nightline TV Show wasn’t around to talk with Tyler, the Creator after Odd Future’s historic appearance on Jimmy Fallon, or the debut of the Yonkers video like he did with Madonna or Public Enemy when they dropped controversial videos.

At Midnight est Odd Future will premiere a short film that us directed by Wolf Haley and features himself, Domo Genesis and Lee Spielman of Trash Talk, Manface, Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce, Brick Stowell and Lucas Vercetti, the film will feature an original score composed by Tyler, The Creator.

While, Odd Future doesn’t have the element of surprise on their side anymore; I am eager to watch this.

UPDATED: Below is the video for Sam Is Dead which is  a war story built around Tyler’s & Domo’s song off OF VOL 2.  The video is not shocking but slick in a manner that speaks with confidence of the staying power of Odd Future.

Watch after the jump.

A$AP Rocky Talks To Noisey About Playing Trill JFK and Lana & Waka on His New Album

YouTube Preview Image

Noisey has a pretty good interview with A$ap Rocky about playing a “trill JFK” in Lana Del Rey’s “National Anthem” video (above), In this interview Rocky discusses groping Lana Del Rey  while filming “National Anthem”. I am a decent looking man. I have nice eyes. But I do not grope women unless I am already having sex with them and they are on the phone with someone they are related to.

But A$ap is dat pretty mfer so I imagine unsolicited ass-grabbing is situationally acceptable from him.

I watched the video several times to figure out when Rocky groped her. At first, I thought maybe he grabbed her boob because he really is never near her butt. But in the interview he definitely says “buns”. Whatever the case, Del Rey  is on Rocky’s upcoming album LongLiveA$AP on a song called “My Bitch”, which drops September 11th.

I guess Waka Flocka Flame,  and Pharrell are among the other guests according to this interview. No word if Rocky also groped Waka Flocka Flame but I would assume he would not because A$ap is not homophobic so therefore he is not repressing an existence of latent homosexuality.

from A$AP ROCKY PLAYS JFK IN LANA DEL REY’S NEW VIDEO

I love it, yeah. I think you make a great JFK. How did it come about?
Lana wrote the treatment with me in mind. She wanted me to be the lead guy. Shit is like, everybody knows we got a thing for each other and we wanted to show that on screen. She’s a genius like…. nigga look at this bitch, I wanna fuck the shit outta her. Look at her she’s gotta be in her late 30s and shit… Err, Hello?

Yesterday was a pretty big day for Fly Union. They had a song  off their Mnkey Wrench Project played on MTV.  Respected L.A. rapper Dom Kennedy dropped an album that has a song produced by Fly Union and their friend Lebron James won the NBA title.

Too bad none of these things were impressive enough for them to be selected to play ComFest this weekend.
