The latest sentimental tribute comes in the form of a book filled with Yams' most memorable tweets. Followers and fans of A$AP Yams are well aware that the late creative was often a non-filtered tweeter who gained millions of retweets due to his humor and quirky outlook on life. Bronx resident Ajani Brathwaite complied some of the rapper's most iconic tweets into a [hardcover book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eras-tour-book) titled 'A$AP Yams Gems,' which captures the vibrant spirit of the artist. The book will retail for $40, with all proceeds going to Yams' family. Interested buyers can pre-order the book now and should know that Braithwaite will stop collecting orders the day before Yams' death anniversary on January 18th, 2016. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celeb Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebproducts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rapper Tribute Books:** Opportunity for creating tribute books featuring the most iconic tweets of late rappers as a way to honor their legacy and connect with fans. - **Memorable Tweets Compilation:** Growing demand for curated compilations of influential figures' most iconic tweets, providing a unique way to preserve and celebrate their digital footprint. - **Creative Fundraising Initiatives:** Emerging trend of using creative projects, such as curated books, to raise funds for a good cause while commemorating a beloved individual or group. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can explore opportunities in producing tribute books that compile the most influential tweets of late rappers, generating interest from dedicated fans and followers. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can leverage the idea of creating compilations of memorable tweets by influential figures, offering fans a unique way to engage with their favorite artists. - **Fundraising:** Fundraising organizations can consider using creative projects like tribute books that curate iconic tweets to raise funds for charitable causes and support families of late individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rapper-Honoring Fall Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tupac-shakur-estate.md) - [Rapper Merch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravado-x-dmx.md) - [Rapper-Made Design Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hommemade.md) - [Rapper-Honoring Cannabis Strains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-row-records-cannabis.md) - [Hipster Era Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cobrasnake-y2ks-archive.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Artful Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-carpet.md) - [AI Art Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-art-book.md) - [Rapper Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite.md) - [Collector Tote Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryuichi-sakamoto-potr.md)
