A$AP Rocky has unleashed a visual feast with his latest track "Helicopter," which promises to be a wild ride ahead of its upcoming album "Don't Be Dumb" dropping on January 16. The song's accompanying video is an animated fever dream that blends classic GTA aesthetics with satirical and outlandish scenarios, showcasing the rapper's signature style.
The track features Rocky riding around in a hot pink mini helicopter (which he first debuted during his summer tour) while rapping over a bass-heavy chorus. At one point, he even hangs precariously from the aircraft as it soars through the city. The visuals are accompanied by a bold, Playstation-inspired cover art that hints at the album's edgy tone.
This isn't Rocky's first foray into surreal storytelling with music videos; last week, he dropped "Punk Rocky," which featured cameos from Winona Ryder, Thundercat, and Danny Elfman. Like its predecessor, this visual follows Rocky through a wild journey involving friends, bumbling police, and an explosive conclusion.
Rocky has always been known for his unapologetic style, but in recent interviews, he's hinted at wanting to scale back his bravado and instead focus on creating music that feels humble and relatable. In an interview with Variety, Rocky explained the album's subject matter and his desire to tackle issues of insecurity and introspection.
With "Helicopter," it seems like Rocky is pushing the boundaries once again, but this time, he's not afraid to get a little messy. With 130,000 physical vinyls already sold, it's clear that fans are eager for more. The upcoming album promises to be one of Rocky's most creative yet, and with Tim Burton on board as a collaborator, expect something truly unique.
As the release date approaches, A$AP Rocky is certainly living up to his reputation as a trailblazer in hip-hop. With "Helicopter" and the upcoming album, he's got fans eagerly anticipating what's next from this innovative artist.

The animated video is straight fire and I love how he's pushing the boundaries of storytelling in music vids! 
It's clear that Tim Burton's influence is gonna bring a whole new level of creativity to this album, and I'm SO ready for it! 
With his focus on tackling insecurity and introspection, I think Rocky is really growing as an artist and I'm loving the direction he's taking. Let's get this album out ASAP! 
1/16 can't come soon enough... #A$APRocky #Helicopter #DonBeDumb #TimBurtonCollab #NewAlbumAlert
which is why im loving it, his vibe has always been all about being unapologetic but now its like hes trying to scale it back a bit, make it more humble? idk if that sounds good on him tho 
either way, cant wait for the album drop!
they have these insane milkshakes with cookie dough and it's literally the perfect combo for a friday afternoon 
i swear i had like 3 of them last week and i'm still dreaming about that chocolatey goodness 
what do you think about a$ap rocky's new album tho? i mean, tim burton is collaborating? that's some next level stuff 
. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out, especially with Tim Burton involved 
. The fact that fans are already eating up physical vinyls like crazy is a good sign for me - I love digging through record collections, you know? 
. Can't wait to get my hands on that vinyl when it drops on Jan 16th 
The animation style is so sick, it's like a video game come to life 
. I love how he's pushing the boundaries of music videos again, but this time it feels more raw and real 
. Rocky's always been about making bold statements, but now he's talking about vulnerability and self-doubt 
. It's gonna be interesting to see where this album takes him creatively 
And with Tim Burton on board, you can bet it's gonna be a wild ride 
. 130,000 vinyls already sold? That's insane! 
.
and it's awesome to see A$AP Rocky pushing the limits of storytelling in his music videos. However, I did notice that the article doesn't specify if Tim Burton was involved in just the visual or also in writing/producing some tracks for the album... 
Still super hyped for "Don't Be Dumb" and can't wait to dive into it! 
. I mean, can't he just make a normal, relatable video for once? Like, you know, one that doesn't feature him hanging off the side of a helicopter like a Bond villain 
.
Fan love is real!
it's like he's speaking straight from his heart, you know? and that's what makes me so excited for the album "Don't Be Dumb" - i feel like we're in for a real treat 
. And don't even get me started on the collaborations – Winona Ryder and Danny Elfman, what's next, a cameos from Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp?! It's like he's trolling us with his creativity
