Recap: A$AP Rocky, ScHoolboy Q & Danny Brown Torch Las Vegas
Three of the biggest current forces in indie rap, A$AP Rocky (and his A$AP Mob), Danny Brown and ScHoolboy Q touched down in Las Vegas. Courtesy of Purple Krown, The Well Versed and 2 Dope Boyz, the 'LoveLiveA$AP' tour rolled into Sin City to deliver extra pills to the masses — and did a damn fine job of doing so.
While we encourage the young lions to take a page out of Jay-Z's concert playbook (Where's the live stream, fellas?!), we luckily have some dope shots to recap Monday's extravaganza for those who weren't able to attend. With the venue sold out and packed, these three druggy's with hoes (on deck) set the stage on fire and after the jump you can find out why everything is better purple.

Danny Brown, a.k.a. "The Hybrid" took the stage to start off the raucous endeavor. Backed by a bevy of hits such as "Blunt After Blunt" and "Black and Brown," ODB got the crowd turnt up for the night's debauchery.
The Bucket Hat Bully, ScHoolboy Q, takes a brief smoke break in between his set at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
The cypher continued as Q represented Figg St. proudly over "Druggys Wit Hoes," "NigHtmare on Figg St.," and "THere He Go" much to the chagrin of Sin City fans who were in attendance.
Rollin' up another backwood during a brief break in the performance, ScHoolboy Q and his deejay prepare to take the Las Vegas crowd on another high.
The crowd, clearly enthralled by the former 52 Hoover Crip, stood in awe of the TDE rapper during his performance.
A$AP Rocky hit the stage eager to rob the crowd of their cool composure, as the 'LongLiveA$AP' tour headliner took to the spotlight to entertain.
The Harlem, New York City rapper managed to drive people into a frenzy upon his arrival. The Purple Pretty Muhfvcka performed "Goldie," "Everything Is Purple," "Pe$o," and more.
Proving why he was worth the healthy bidding war, A$AP Rocky glows in his favorite hue while on stage at Las Vegas' House of Blues.
Rock star living is just a way of life when you're A$AP Rocky. Later on that evening, the rest of the A$AP Mob took the stage to perform cuts off of their "Lord$ Never Worry" mixtape.
Taking a page out of 50 Cent's tried-and-true playbook, Rocky donned an all-white vest to rep the rougher side of Sin City's streets.
Throughout the night, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown and ScHoolboy Q showcased a camaraderie that bridges the coasts and sounds of Hip-Hop. If these are the future titans of the culture then the game is in sure hands.
With Rocky's nationally distributed debut album on hold until 2013, Rocky, Q and Danny Brown continue to rock out as if their projects are in stores now. The 40-plus date tour, the 'LongLiveA$AP Tour,' marks a successful bridge for indie artists looking to capitalize on their hard work. And Monday's show was no doubt a spectacle for fans and foes alike to witness.
