Would you consider yourself a pop star magnet, or even a chick magnet?

A$AP Rocky: Nope. But you know what I think it is? I think girls really admire guys who are comfortable with being them. I’m proud of me and I think God created a handsome man [laughs]. That’s it. I think girls like that. Usually the reason why guys in my position are like that is because they’re famous, but as you can tell, man, I’ve been like this my whole life. It don’t take much to know that. I could be wrong, but I could be right because I think I’m right. Even if a girl doesn’t like me, or find me attractive, I think she’s wrong. She might need to check again, I’m just saying [laughs].

Girls also love your teeth. You have amazing teeth.

A$AP Rocky: Well, the reason I don’t have my grills in right now is because I’m getting surgery done on my teeth. So after I leave here, I got to get surgery. All of these here [towards the back] are permanent. It’s half way done. It’s like an 8-hour procedure. They’re going to ask about that in a minute. These are permanent diamonds. Me and Puff are the only two that got it. Jiggy shit.

Which women do you have a crush on, or would you consider as your WCW?

A$AP Rocky: I see beautiful women everyday. I was just walking down the block in SoHo, and it was just so many different types of women. They all beautiful. That’s the only part, is that you’re so indecisive since there’s so many good ones. That’s the struggle.

Recently, the A$AP t-shirt was pulled from Pac Sun for the upside down flag. People felt as though it was disrespectful to veterans.

A$AP Rocky: Nobody feels no way. That’s a design I’ve been using for the past 4 years on tour from 2011. My album cover has an upside down flag. It’s my anarchy. I look at America as everything they do is backwards. That’s why the flag is backwards. I respect everybody in society. God made right and wrong, and rules and laws, which were made to be broken. It is what it is. That’s why I don’t judge nobody.

I respect people in society for their beliefs. I’m in a society of my own with people from my type of lifestyle. We didn’t fit in with black people. We didn’t fit in with white people. It was to the point that we fit in so much. You got to become the circuit. When you become that circuit, you start to realize that you not alone. It’s a lot of people that feel like they don’t fit in because society confuses them to be prettier, slimmer, or their hair needs to be longer. It is what it is. I look at it like, people got flaws. Nobody’s perfect. Accept your flaws. Quit dwelling on petty shit. And it’s a wack design; I’m glad they took it off the shelves.
