A$AP Rocky x Skrillex - "Wild For The Night" [Official Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

"Wild For The Night," the video for A$AP Rocky's party cut with Skrillex has officially premiered, and it fits the rap music video formula by almost every standard - we're thinking rappers must just use their insane video budgets to take lavish vacations and edit together the more TV-appropriate activities. The concept is a little lacking in originality, but the beautiful cinematography and amazing floral jacket combinations of Rocky and A$AP Yams (Rocky is definitely pulling it more convincingly--cover those yams, asap!) make the visuals a worthy complement to an already dope song (one of the best on Long.Live.A$AP--purchase on iTunes here), even if the spacious dubby echo of certain moments on the riddim track is the only thing connecting the visuals to the song with a (very) slender Afro-Caribbean thread. On the other hand if we had a few million to spend on a video about partying, we would probably also utilize it on having the Dominican Republic as our playground too, so there isn't really much to dislike here.
