ASAP Rocky says his brother’s murder on their own Harlem block is the reason he became “Pretty Flacko” instead of a gangster.
“My brother got shot down the block, on our block.
I was born down the block on 116th and Morningside. Right now we like between Manhattan and whatnot, but he just got shot on the block and died on the block he was born on and raised on, ironically.
And when that happened, I think I was 13, and it was kind of hard for me to process, but I did know that the valuable lesson that I learned was that I didn’t want to be like my brother. He showed me not to be like him.
He was in the streets. He was Big Blood. He was a four-star general. Teardrops, all that. Everybody know who Brazy Ricky was. Everybody know Joker Ricky.
Anybody could tell you nah, he’s nothing like his brother. My brother was tough. I never was tough. I was always on some like get-fly pretty boy.
When he died is when I turned into Pretty Flacko, you know? Before that I wanted to be just like him. So I had a point to prove, like I’m tough, I could hang. That never really was me. And what I learned is that nobody will ever love you and protect you like a real blood big brother. And so I knew that I was on my own from there.
All the men in my family was just dead or in jail. Pops died. My uncle got deported to Barbados. I really didn’t have much people to look up to.
So I started just glorifying people of the arts, and I knew that I didn’t want that kind of road, that kind of story, to be my destiny.
He crawled so I could run.”

A viral video created by a high school student explaining the fourth dimension then disappeared without a trace....🧐🤔
This original video, created by a high school student, explains the concept of the fourth spatial dimension by building upon lower dimensions and using analogies like how a 3D object's shadow appears in a 2D world. He illustrates how a four-dimensional object would cast a "shadow" in our three-dimensional world.
