If you’re a dreamer, that puts a chip on your shoulder, and you live to show the world what you’re capable of. Everyone means well, but what they’re really doing is socializing us into a sense of creative scope that’s smaller than our actual sphere of possibilities. You can see it in certain folks’ pleasant surprise to see kids grow up with different plans than city work or career college, in their tendency to size up muscular boys and telegraph what kind of sporting career they’re angling at, and in the nagging habit of genteel older white folks to adopt a light, outdated AAVE and say things like “my man” to you because they learned some jive in the ’70s. People don’t expect boys from Harlem to have that range. He raps, produces, models, designs, directs, acts, fronts a rap crew, and steers whatever AWGE is. What does A$AP Rocky really want? Sometimes I think it’s just for everyone to know he’s well-rounded.
