Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky is making quite a name for himself. After signing a lucrative recording contract with Polo Grounds/RCA Records, he's been the focus of interviews and been tapped by Drake to join his Paradise tour this year. In a new interview on BET's '106 & Park' Wednesday (Feb. 1), the 23-year-old rapper gives details on how the Toronto entertainer went about contacting him as well as revealing a funny story about veteran rhymer Rakim.

The 'Peso' creator, decked out in a Givenchy Rottweiler Print Shirt and a Balmain Raccoon Fur Blouson priced at around $5,000, told hosts Terrence and Rosci that the 'Headlines' rapper was "influenced and inspired" by his work. Recently, A$AP performed in Toronto and brought Drizzy out as a special guest. "They went crazy, they went bananas," he revealed.

Rocky, born Rakim Myers, also expressed the story behind his birth name -- his mother named him after 'Paid in Full' creator Rakim. "My mother, crazy lady right, so she see [Rakim] at the light in Harlem, on 125th St. and he got his drop-top [car]... she just run up and she's like, 'Rakim, I named my son after you. You gotta sign his Pamper.' I had it on or whatever. She's like, 'Oh no! Sign a fresh one.'"

When Rob Base bounded onto the stage of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum for TOGETHER 2012, the United Jewish Appeal fundraiser may have been an unlikely event but the venue was rather apropos, what with all the dinosaurs in the building, reports Spinner.

The '80s hip-hop legend no longer performs with his one-time partner DJ E-Z Rock, but Rob Base was part of a stellar old-school hip-hop bill that included a surprisingly fantastic Sugarhill Gang, expectedly fierce Naughty by Nature and a well-fed Young MC. It was also on the eve of a new anthology compilation by Profile Records, the legendary rap label whose very first release was Rob Base's stone-cold classic 'It Takes Two.'

So in the labyrinthine backrooms-turned-greenrooms of the R.O.M., Rob Base and his dynamite singer-slash-hypeman Kyle Rifkin sit down for an interview to reminisce about parties in the park, their undying hits and how Base himself and DJ E-Z Rock changed hip-hop forever.
