He's got a "Fucking Problem" that's a hit, and one that isn't. But A$AP Rocky isn't letting unlicensed samples ruin the LONGLIVEA$AP tour.
"It's just so hard to get things cleared, because you got to find people to clear samples," Rocky said during a recent radio interview.
The MC's debut LP was set to drop on October 31, exactly one year after releasing his first mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP. Instead, he's had to push the release until January.
On the bright side, Rocky's still on tour and preaching the gospel of swag. That includes shit like hooking up with chicks off social media sites and allegedly doing blow with three models in a hotel room.
Check out Rocky's guide to hooking up.

Swag Hag
A$AP doesn't give a damn whether you're gay or straight, white, black, whatever ... So long as you've got swag.
"I kicked down the door for kids that's my age, older and younger, to be able to wear Jeremy Scott sneakers, rips in their jeans and not feel gay," Rocky says in an interview with Hard Knock TV.
"I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things," "I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color."
He will, however, judge your style. And so will the person you're trying to hook-up with.
So by any means necessary, own some dope swag. If not Jeremy Scott sneakers, maybe a vintage Goyard trunk to keep a fly collection of flat-bill ball caps.
On "Pretty Flacko, Rocky raps, "I'm as famous as Mozart, hoes lark on my go kart/ Get niggas for the Goyard it cost too much so we bogart/ We take yours, nigga Deebo."
However, A$AP doesn't promote robbing shit all the time. Money's a major part of the pimp game, and if you want to hook-up on the reg, it pays to have a lot of it.
Dollars, Drugs, and Drank
Something about having money makes hooking up so much easier. And we're not talking about the emergency $20 bill sewn into your throwback Bugle Boy jeans.
If you want to party like an A$AP Mob rap star, you're going to need serious coinage (and blow) to wake up next to "three model bitches."
"Yes, I'm the shit/Tell me, do it stink," Rocky flows on "Goldie." "It feel good waking up to money in the bank/ Three model bitches, cocaine on the sink."

If your partner's not into blow, try Purp -- both the drink and marijuana variety. Rocky's had success with both.
From "Get Lit": "Just light the candle on the nightstand, sitting by the lotion/I got her open, got her floating off this purple potion/Just take a hit, no time to quit, because you gotta smoke this/ I gotta focus when I pour it 'cause it's kinda potent."
Of course, you never mix Purp with the following items on Rocky's guide ... Automobiles.
German Cars
A$AP has "swagger so impressive" that he "don't need a necklace" to meet women. But for the common man, Rocky suggests investing in German automakers.
On "Peso," the MC claims that, "bitches get impressed when you pull up in that [BMW Seven Series, Six Series, or] them [Mercedes] Benzes."
While he didn't specify make and model, a few months after releasing "Peso," A$AP appeared on his homie Schoolboy Q's "Hands on the Wheel" single and confirmed that his refined automotive taste was in fact attracting attention.
"Got a freak or two, in my vehicle/Got the purple drink, got the yellow drink/Then we mix it up, call it Pikachu"
Don't have the bankroll for a Benz-o? It's OK. Sometimes a reliable Internet connection is enough to get you laid.
Social Media
Earlier this year, A$AP Rocky sat down with Bruiser Brigade crewman Danny Brown in Barcelona to discuss their "favorite type of bitch to fuck," among other things, for a five-part video series on Noisey, Vice's YouTube music channel.
Both agree that freaky girls make for the best kind of lovers, and the best place to find them is apparently online.
"You ever fuck a bitch off Twitter?" Brown asks.
"Hell yeah, I've fucked a bitch off Twitter," Rocky replies. "I fuck bitches off Twitter."
Facebook, however, is what's up.
"Facebook bitches is more personal," Rocky explains. "With Twitter, you only get the option of recent photos... With Facebook, you get to look through all the photos... You get to see if they really have a fat ass or not."
