A$AP Rocky on women and arithmetic: “You have three at a time, and then you have three orgies. That’s nine chicks.”

A$AP Yams, the founder of A$AP Mob—a hip-hop collective whose most famous members include A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg—has passed away, The Fader reports. He was 26 years old; the cause of death is unknown.

It wouldn't be a new year without some media-escalated moral panic over a new and potentially dangerous intoxicant. Except 2012's hazard, a synthetic and cheap legal chemical sold as "bath salts"—varying compositions of mephedrone, methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), and methylone—did have some fairly harrowing consequences. Users who'd ingested too much recounted super-human strength, feelings of demonic possession, vibrantly nightmarish hallucinations; police reports featuring assailants suspected to be under the influence of bath salts documented rabid-animal behaviors like biting, kicking, and primal viciousness.
