We've all heard the infamous saying, "when life imitates art." While many of today's songs are a far cry from the obvious, well, others bear striking similarities to the artist's outrageous and routinely insane lifestyle.

Take in point, rapper A$AP Rocky, who recently released this trippy visual for his A.L.L.A. single, L$D. From previous discussions and interviews, the A$AP Mob leader has been pretty adamant on his disdain for syrup and harder drugs (meth, cocaine and heroin), but has always shown admiration for that of the 'psychedelic' drugs, such as mushrooms and marijuana.

In a recent Crown interview with Elliott Wilson, the rapper says that using 'shrooms and thangs' truly helps him from a creative standpoint, stating, "They say if you obtain psychedelics and if you can endure them that makes you a creative genius. For those of you who are squares and don't do weed or psychedelics, yes I'm talking to you, I got a problem with those people," he continues.

"Our community is growing. We're about 100,000 of us, so try it. I hate to be an advocate but I love it. I was joking before; if you don't smoke weed and stuff that's fine. That's how you choose to live your life. I understand. It's the extreme drugs that I don't condone. The heroin. The meth. The weird sh*t. Nothing that's gonna make me look ugly."

The rapper candidly opened up to the NYPost about his recreational usage of weed, and his experimentation with LSD, revealing that OVO singer ILoveMakonnen introduced him to the drug at this year's SXSW festival. He recalls the effects, calling it quite the trip, and jokingly said that Makonnen looked like "Buddha with a Jheri curl" afterwards.

But the highlight of his drug-fueled experience was when Rocky and ILoveMakonnen finally parted ways, and the Harlem native returned back to his mansion, where he proceeded to have sex with nine women. He recollects about the trysts, mentioning that the sexual rendezvous didn't all occur at once, but in groups of three – with three separate orgies throughout the rest of his trip.

He says, "Yeah, but not all at one time. It's like group sex. You have three at a time, and then you have three orgies. That's nine chicks," Rocky said.

When asked if he'd ever do it again or become dependent on LSD, he replied, "Nah, I don't rely on that sh*t. Look at me -- I'm cozy. I do smoke weed every day, though."
