L$D by A$AP Rocky Song Info
This song and accompanying video were released on May 19 by Lil B on Twitter. Rocky later tweeted “THANK YOU BASED GOD.” The song is both an ode to the drug LSD (commonly known as acid) and his love affairs with women. Rocky spoke on his “love for all women” during many interviews leading up to the release of this album. Speaking to the New York Post, Rocky opened up about his latest drug of choice, LSD, citing a strong “psychedelic influence” it had on A.L.L.A.. Despite the drug-induced death of his partner and mentor A$AP Yams in January 2015, Rocky remains unapologetic for routinely indulging in drugs and women. Yams died of an accidental overdose of prescription-grade cough syrup and benzodiazepines (Xanax). The music video was co-directed by Dexter Navy and A$AP Rocky. It also features a verse from his song “Excuse Me”. The song contains a sample of “Ode to Billy Joe” by Lou Donaldson. The trippy atmosphere of the whole video is inspired by Enter The Void movie, directed by Gaspar Noé.
