Has A$AP Rocky become
too abstract even for his own fans? A couple of weeks ago, the rapper
made a huge update of his Instagram account and basically transformed it
into a huge digital mural which only makes sense when the seemingly
senseless segments are viewed together. It massive piece was created in
collaboration with Robert Gallardo, a member of the rapper’s new
internal creative team AWGE, and featured works by artists Daniel Arsham
and Tan Camera. It was described by Gallardo as the “modern day fine
art, just delivered to you differently because of the times we live in.”
Despite its uniqueness, some of Rocky’s followers on the social
networking service failed to appreciate it and were bothered with the
blank images that made it seem like the ‘Gram was going crazy.
Ultimately, the mural costed Rocky over 100,000 followers and since he
keeps adding segments we are sure many more will unfollow him, too.
The virtual piece of art was coined in support of Rakim’s upcoming album
At.Long.Last.A$AP, which might come out a week earlier that expected.
