What’s up y’all? What’s up? Harlem world, yeah. Are we ready? No come on, are we really ready? Ladies and gentlemen, Harlem’s own, A$AP Rocky. I think we might be ready to bring him out. It’s really actually quite appropriate we’re doing this in Harlem. This gentleman here we’re bringing out tonight hasn’t been making music as long as some of those folks maybe, but I think that’s probably a testament to the impact he’s made in a relatively short time, both as an artist and as a style icon. Now for our public conversations in New York we’ve had folks like D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Brian Eno and next week George Clinton, actually at the Brooklyn Museum. At the Academy we invite sixty different participants, kids from all over the world who make music - producers, artists, vocalists, musicians - and they have workshops, they have events, they do performances and we have, what we call, lectures.Ī lecture is not really a lecture, it’s an interview situation, kind of like what we’re doing today. We’ve been in Tokyo, London, Barcelona, Melbourne, Toronto, many other places, Rome. We’re going to be in Paris this coming fall. It’s kind of a pop-up music school that happens in a different city somewhere in the world.
If you are not, the Red Bull Music Academy has been around before the term “pop-up” existed, but that might be the best way to describe it. You may be familiar with the Red Bull Music Academy. This is a part of the Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York, which is happening the entire month of May. My name is Jeff Mao, occasionally known as “Chairman” Mao. Hey, how’s everybody doing? You good? Welcome to our public conversation with A$AP Rocky.
