A$AP Rocky's “Wassup” Video Premiere

By VICE Staff

Harlem rap sensation A$AP Rocky just teamed up with global media sensation VICE after a chance meeting with Global Editor Andy Capper at the VICE office in Brooklyn.  Rocky pitched a vision of a video to Andy which took elements from his five favorite movies, namely Scarface, Belly, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors and, of course, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

Smitten with the idea, Andy and VICE set making the video with one of VICE's most talented DPs, Jacob Burghart (VICE Guide To Congo, Toxic: Garbage Island and many more). 

Viva A$AP! Viva VICE! Vive La Revolution!
