I've never gotten mistaken for him, but I would appreciate the comparison.

GoCrapYourself12 karma

You're kind of living every big fan's dream right? You were originally a huge A$AP supporter until they welcomed you into the mob. How exactly did them asking you to be part of it come about and what were you doing before that?

ASAPLouBanga9 karma

Before that I was in between jobs, and it just came about after I met them at a show. I started hanging out with them and becoming close. Rocky needed an assistant at the time and asked if I wanted to come on board and do that and I accepted.

aheller959 karma

ASAPLouBanga36 karma

Hehehe Naw. My license is suspended.

mrwaffleboy9 karma

orangejulius6 karma

What's your favorite song that you've been part of?

What do you listen to when you go home and just want to relax?

Favorite album this year?

ASAPLouBanga11 karma

1 - I don't make music, but my favorite song that I've been in the studio to hear and to witness is probably Yamborghini High.

2 - Future and like R&B - R. Kelly, Ja Rule.

3 - This year so far, it's still early in the year, so not really. Nothing that's hit me yet.

ohMars6 karma

First off congrats on everything you achieved so far, keep doing your thing. I have two questions. What can we expect from the Cozy Tapes? And is it still possible to get a ticket for Yams Day? R.I.P Yam$. Thanks.

ASAPLouBanga16 karma

You could expect that ol' Flaco, a lot of guest appearances, and you can expect that ignorant young turn up music. And a lot of exclusives from the Mob.

The tickets are all sold out - make sure you get your tickets early next year!

CJMRTN125 karma

What were you thinking when you got up on stage with the mob for the first time in NY? Did you think that you would become part of it?

ASAPLouBanga11 karma

Um, I didn't think I'd become a part of it. I was just grateful for the experience to be up there.

What is the craziest thing you and the mob have done while on a tour?

ASAPLouBanga9 karma

Um.

When we were on tour with Tyler, we had a HUGE water fight backstage - throwing buckets of water on people, water balloons, ice. All the cameras got wet. It was crazy.

Discxple4 karma

Who is one artist/rapper you would want to work with in the future? Any artist you've worked with in the past that was super fun?

I wasn't there in the beginning, but hthe Mob really started with A$AP Yams and A$AP Bari, and just throughout time and just runnin as a street crew, the other members joined and it became what it is today.

JoseDoobie2 karma

Do you still connect with any of your old friends from before you were A$AP or is it strictly Mob now a days?
