Tonight: A$AP Rocky w/ A$AP Ferg, Ace Hood & Super Mash Bros.


Former drug dealer/dope rapper ASAP Rocky (stylized as A$AP Rocky, because money) will be bringing his act to the Lake LaSalle Lot at UB this evening for Fall Fest 2013. He will be joined by Ace Hood, known for his hit song “Bugatti,” which I imagine is about a car or possibly a pasta dish. Mash-up DJs Super Mash Bros. and fellow ASAP Mob emcee ASAP Ferg (stylized as A$AP Ferg, money) round out the bill.

Established in 2007, the ASAP Mob is unlike a real mob, united by a similar preference in music, art, and fashion instead of a pronounced desire to incite violence. This is good news for anyone in attendance hoping to hear music and not get murdered. This is terrible news for anyone in attendance who may have taken constant lyrical allusions to gun-related felonious acts seriously.

ASAP Rocky dropped Long. Live. ASAP earlier this year to reviews generally considered positive, building on the success of his previous mixtape Live. Love. ASAP and the nine or ten thousand guest appearances he made on everyone else's records. Long. Live. ASAP likewise featured contributions from every rapper you've ever heard of in beautiful rap reciprocation, so don't expect him to suddenly stop being famous as hell. The current Undisputed Rap Champion of the World, Kendrick Lamar, even lovingly annihilated him on his devastating "Control" verse.

This show costs dollars unless you're a University at Buffalo student, in which case you will be getting rapped at for free with your UB identification. Non-UB students can expect to spend $35 out of their ramen fund, general admission is $45.

Doors at 5pm, music at 6pm. Please take all references to questionable sexual encounters and drug use as a guideline, not a rule.






Just Announced: A$AP Rocky


A few hours ago, UB announced its annual Fall Fest lineup: on October 13, A$AP Rocky, Ace Hood, Super Mash Bros., and A$AP Ferg will be coming to Baird Point, or probably Alumni Arena, because UB's track record of actually having one of their bi-annual fests outside is not great. This is not a knock on the event organizers or anything of the sort, but, at least when I was a student there, Baird Point was this elusive, mythical venue, and the weather hated us.

Anyway, this show: it's either going to be an evening of epic hip-hop, or a cautionary tale of what happens when there are too many A$AP's in one spot. The concert might be over in 20 minutes, who knows. But if the rumors turn out to be true, A$AP Rocky might be out of the closet right around the time he comes to UB, which would generate some big-time buzz for the kind-of-underwhelming lineup.

The show, as always, is free to UB undergrads. More ticket info coming soon.
