A$AP Rocky\u2019s<\/a> Testing<\/em><\/a> didn\u2019t fare as well as his previous solo albums both critically and commercially. The project was another creative left turn for Rocky after the psychedelic, LSD-inspired experimentation of his sophomore album, At. Long. Last. ASAP<\/em>. In an interview with GQ<\/em><\/a> after the fourth annual Yams Day, Rocky describes how the reception to his third studio album inspired the name of his current tour, Injured Generation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it was inspired by me feeling emotionally discouraged after I put out my album and I felt like the masses didn\u2019t get it at the start. I kind of forgot that\u2019s the same thing that happened with my album prior: I put it out, people fucked with it, and then throughout time people are, \u2018Oh my God, this is a masterpiece,’\u201d Rocky said. \u201cAnd I guess initially, I was like, Man, did my crowd, did my cult following forget how to mosh? How to slam dance, how to fucking crowd surf, how to go all out? I mean obviously I\u2019m the pretty motherfucker but for real, I like to go crazy in a mosh, that\u2019s what I came here for! As soon as I got here, I went straight to the mosh pit, I didn\u2019t even come in this dressing room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the interview, he also revealed why he decided to go sober in 2019. \u201cIt\u2019s been 18 days. I\u2019m sober right now, my head is on straight, man, I\u2019m happy to be here, I\u2019m high off life, bro,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m also trying to cut out all the sugars and shit. When I turned 30, my metabolism sloooowed way down. And on top of that, the weed was just having me fucked up bro, honestly. But Imma get back on it. You gotta focus for a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n
