Cudi told me, “Don’t do that, it’ll change your life for the worse.” And he said, “If you’re grounded, don’t ever try it, one time will f**k your life up.” I’m like, “Damn, bro, that was worse than what my mom told me about it, and my dad.” He’s like, “Trust me.” Yams told me, “Never do it.” He said, “Hey, man, don’t do coke. For me, the only drugs that I tried were psychedelics, mushrooms, LSD, but as far as s**t like cocaine I still never tried it. Rocky: I never tried a lot of the drugs he was on.
Personally I’ve seen s**t that just had me on my heels, like “Why would you do that?”īaltin: Does that make you not want to make those same mistakes then? It’s crazy, it reminds me of a mixture of David Lynch meets the Pixiesīaltin: Who, to you, is the greatest rock star or that person who pushed it to the next level? I fell in love with Danger Mouse’s aesthetic and sound through the Doors. Damn, I’m a failure, I didn’t die at 27.” I think about it, Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, he inspired me. I was kind of upset when I turned 28, like, “I’m supposed to be up there in heaven right now. Rocky: My whole time being 27, everyone was like, “Don’t use white lighters, you’re gonna be part of the 27 club, wait ‘til you’re 28.” I thought I was gonna die last year, that’s some real conceited s**t to say, but I really thought I was special enough to end (we all bust up). She’s a porn star, my first lady’s a porn star, can you believe that?īaltin: You were just joking about the 27 club. He’s not trying to do s**t and then his wife is a f**king idiot. Rocky: I don’t think he does, he just wanted the attention. This is bulls**t, but have to face it, president.īaltin: Everybody keeps saying, and I think it’s true, he doesn’t want the job…
It’s a f**king joke, literally they’re trying to stir up s**t that you guys worked so hard, smoked so much weed, took so much acid, so the generations after you didn’t have to deal with discrimination and premeditated thoughts. They’re making a mockery out of our democracy. Like Jay-Z and Diddy, two of the rappers turned entrepreneurs he admires in his transition to business mogul, Rocky has that presence and charisma to transcend social circles and fit in a board room at Guess during the day and a studio smoking out at two in the morning.īaltin: How are you influenced by social matters like politics? Rocky is also a FORBES 30 Under 30 alum and one of our 2016 Hip-Hop Cash Kings with earnings of $14.5 million. 1 one albums in a row, four films and collaborations with everyone from Rihanna to Rod Stewart. What is very evident during the marathon conversation is why Rocky has become one of the spokespeople and faces of his generation with two No. This past Monday night he and I hung out for two and a half hours discussing everything from his old soul and being a child of the ‘60s to his many business endeavors, which he estimates to be 30 companies under his AWGE umbrella, his fashion line and working with MTV as Creative Director of MTV Labs. It's not surprising that Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, is aware of the history of the studio after you get to spend time with him.
