A$AP Rocky Brings Out Kanye West During Short, Disastrous Coachella Performance
A$AP Rocky easily had one of the most disastrous sets at Coachella in the past two years.
The Harlem rapper arrived, as he's done at previous festivals, notably late. Fifteen minutes is a faux pas at a well-oiled event where clockwork doesn't compromise.
A few songs in, Rocky justified his tardiness by explaining that the strong weather conditions threatened the entire performance. "Coachella! I know there's a lot of wind out there. They almost cancelled our fucking set, almost made us take our screen down," he said.
It started out ambitious, and it was clear he had a vision in mind. He began with an odd surprise: Juliette Lewis appeared on the screens in a pre-recorded introduction, where she played a flight attendant giving instructions to the swelling audience.
