A$AP Yams will be remembered for many things. Described as both a great creative mind and a friendly and charming person by those close to him, Yams' talent and personality is remembered through his work with A$AP Mob, but also in the imprint he left online -- namely, his very colorful tweets.
With the impending release of A$AP Mob's Cozy Tapes Vol. 1, a project first envisioned by Yams and one that pays tribute to him in its cover art, we've decided to go back through the influential A$AP member's Twitter account. Yams' tweets are still as funny as they are insightful, and give us a good impression of the wise and creative (if at first bashful) person he was.
Click through the galleries to read Yams' jokes, music thoughts, and overall wisdom. Look out for the Cozy Tapes this Halloween.
RIP Yams.

MUSIC THOUGHTS
Yams was a music obsessive first, and his Twitter account reflected such. Many of his tweets relate to music in some way or another, whether he's co-signing an artist early, praising Ja Rule and R. Kelly, or rewriting rap lyrics into his own hilarious punchlines.

JOKES ON JOKES
Twitter is more or less designed for users to riff on their everyday life, and it's hard to find someone who does that better Yams. From his deodorant etiquette to his infatuation with caps lock, Yams' way with words could find humor in any situation.
