Billboard's hip-hop blog The Juice recently spoke with A$AP Rocky about his collaboration with Lana Del Rey on "Ridin'". There seemed to be some mutual admiration within the song itself-- if you recall, A$AP raps, "Lana, that's my bitch/ You could tell by the swagga and the lips." But that was only the tip of the iceberg. A$AP says Lana is the girl of his dreams:


You didn't know about me being a huge Lana Del Rey fan? That's all I kept talking about all winter. I first had a crush on her from seeing her on the Internet-- I fell in love with her voice the first time I heard it. I probably heard it in July, August for the first time, I think it was "Blue Jeans." And from then on, I'm like…I love her! Mind you, we never even spoke to each other, and then in Complex [magazine], when she said I was her favorite rapper, I was like, 'Oh **** no, man. I gotta work with her! My dream girl acknowledges me!'

Don't tell ... Axl Rose?

A$AP also told Billboard that, for his followup to LIVELOVEA$AP, he has enlisted Santigold and Pharrell, as well as Hit-Boy, the producer of Kanye West's recent collaboration with DJ Khaled, "Theraflu".
