Asher Roth

http://www.getrightmusic.com/2008/06/15/dj-drama-don-cannon-present-asher-roth-the-greenhouse-effect/

just listened to his "don't touch me" freestyle and he wasn't saying anything mildly interesting but yeah i guess he can flow? idk

white guys need to stop rapping about how they are white

aint about to sit through a mixtape that's for sure

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/hiphopmediatraining/45145/asher-roth-was-not-involved-in-airplane-melee/

so, my school paper got sent a promo copy of the album (lol the label loves college(s) too!) and i gotta, say... it's pretty dope? i'm like, shocked obv tbh. "i love college" is a huge outlier but in the context of the album it makes sense, and really every other lyric is on point, and the song about being white brings up really good points. between this and ugk it's starting to look pretty good for rap music this year imo.

woah. so is it going to be huge?

oh yeah - classic debut

the song about being white brings up really good points

looool

^^thought that was gonna give it away tbh

Had me for a second.

haha i think j0rdan pitched the asher hoax to me a while back and i was like man dude i can't even poison/just blaze that shit, man, it'd be too tough to keep a straight face

lol i bit on this j0rdan, had a PO'd post i just deleted before i realized i was a tard

totally bought that

^________________^

ur twitter tipped me off jordache

yeah i figured - none of my friends believed me i don't think >:[

altho i think the really hot model girl who follows me and sells iphones was totally fooled

i didnt believe u once u put it up with UGK -- should have left out the 'classic' talk but otherwise good prank

what is this bullshit: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/72677-asher-agonistes-an-interview-with-asher-roth/

The marching band kids, with their horns slung over their orange-and-black pads, walked by. To them, Asher Roth was a joke—nothing more than a dreamer making corny MP3 recordings in a basement with ‘Footie’. They had heard about Roth but they never took the time to listen to his music. Their loss.

what is this bullshit:

this makes this look like Wallace And Grommit.

http://i41.tinypic.com/wty9g7.jpg

1. Asher thinks the word "tuffet" is pronounced "truffet" and no one at his record label corrected him.

2. "Suck a Dick Butkis"

3. There's a scene of him about to get a blumpkin that lasts like 5 seconds.

4. Is he really trying to appeal to people by hoping they go "I play Mario Kart too!"

5. "Cheetos be my choice of chip."

6. "You're the B.E.-EST"

7. Is the subtext of the video that this dorkball is coming through to steal all the african-american women?

What's more wrong, comparing Eminem to Vanilla Ice in 1999 or comparing Asher Roth to Eminem in 2009?

it's hilarious that ppl who like this guy just overlook the fact that none of his references make any sense - they're just there as signifiers

"any tim duncan/ spur of the moment" ???

its seriously on some family guy/meet the spartans shit. i hate him so fucking much.

Eminem: "Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids"
Asher Roth: "Me and Teddy Ruxpin Smashing all the pumpkins"

excuse me, rrrrrruxpin

i mean, i honestly can see the appeal of this guy. I mean it's so easy for bloggers to go OMG PRETTY WHITE BOY PAT BOONEING THIS SHIT VERSION 4080, but we've had like 10 years of pretty white dudes who can actually rap and are actually funny.

*can't see the appeal

I think rappers are cosigning this dude just because no one wants to miss out on ANY potential chance to make an extra buck on a sure thing since the industry is turning to dogshit.

ugh kill him

lol nah right made a Serious Post about that tweet

somewhat disappointing but probably inevitable that (my sense is) this dude isn't as interesting as the least self conscious mainstream witerapper thus far might have been, but it's cool that he pisses people off

http://nahright.com/news/2009/04/24/sour-patch-kids/

I gotta tell you, I’ve endured alot of gum flapping in my direction from alot of people over Nah Right’s coverage of Asher Roth. “Oh, he’s a gimmick”, or “he sounds like Em” or “he’s all hype”. And you know what? Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. I honestly think the kid can spit, and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters to me, and that’s all I’m gonna say on the issue.

You don’t like it? Then don’t fucking patronize this site. Or keep it moving when you come here and see an Asher post. Or kill yourself. I really don’t give a fuck.

Or kill yourself. I really don’t give a fuck.

this is a good way to end a pissed off post

He wishes he could call everyone by their real names individually

Fuck eskay's butthurt bullshit

watching blogger beef unfold is like watching two second graders have a slapfight over pokemon cards

i choose you like a pokemon card/i ain't just see u baby, i pikachu

fuck, there's a legitimate rap album do that references jigglypuff and i never remember what it is.

http://nahright.com/news/2009/04/28/on-asher-roth-nappy-headed-hoes/#more-32660

i gotta say - i'm pretty interested to see how this plays out wrt how much sway eskay has

I’m also announcing a new challenge, and this one is for Asher Roth. Step up and acknoweldge what you said and explain yourself homie. It’s only right. Until you do so, there will be no more Asher Roth posts on Nah Right.

Um, if you think the people buying Asher's album are people that follow Nah Right religiously, you are fooling yourself, homie.

got banned from this other forum last week for continually starting threads with "asher roth has aids"

that's our lamp!

ya i guess - still, eskay has been a pretty vocal backer of asher for a while and i assume that if asher sees the post (which im sure he will) then he might be compelled to respond

at what point are you going to give up having opinions because they dont matter in the face of the great unwashed masses bro

@byroncrawford
I'd just like to point out that I played a significant role in ridding Nah Right of Asher Roth posts.

XD

Yet his music, although relaxed and upbeat, was far from a collection of crass party jams.

How long to Asher Roth sonned in AOL beef?

Maybe he can be the Don Imus of rap.

Black bloggers bickering about a white rapper really make me feel like we are indeed living in a post-racial America.

What the fuck does that even mean? This thread is crazy.

'I Love College' is at #2 in (UK) MTV2's myspace chart, making it I think the first rap video (no, fourth or fifth, after those Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip ones!!!!!!!) I've seen on that channel. HIP HOP FINALLY CROSSES OVER.

Zane Lowe's always loved the hip-hop. Just not as much as his love for shit indie bands and generic drum and bass. Never knew there was more to MTV2 than Zane Lowe though.

April 29, 2009. Remember last week when MediaTakeOut.com told you about some NO NAME rapper named Asher Roth who called Black women nappy headed hoes. Well now he’s turning to Black men.

Apparently Asher, who’s affiliated with Atlantic Records and Jay Z and Kanye West, claims that he’s ‘disgusted’ by the Black rappers. Here’s his exact quote:

“All these black rappers — African rappers — talking about how much money they have. 'Do you realize what's going on in Africa right now?'" Roth says.

"It's just like, 'You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.

We know where dude is trying to go with this. But he is just WAY TO COMFORTABLE talking with such a high degree of recklessness!!!

wait did he really say that

Dude is killing his career for us!

maybe it wasnt him ;-)

wait are u questioning mediatakeout.com's credentials

LOL @ white_rapper_asher_roth_continues_his_reckless_talk__calls_black_rappers_disgusting_for_not_giving_all_their_money_to_africa.html

have i mentioned lately that the character limits on display names are some bullshit?

Lool @ nah rong

lol i missed that, one for the 77 thread no doubt

“All these black rappers — African rappers — talking about how much money they have. 'Do you realize what's going on in Africa right now?'" Roth says.

"It's just like, 'You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.

WOW.

Looks like AP is the source. I've officially left "Stop making music!" territory and entered "Go fuck yourself!" land.

I can't think of one African rapper in the public eye unless MC Solaar and K'Naan have suddenly started talking about diamonds. Or it's just some type of dis against Akon?

is there some Awesome Bapes From Africa blog Asher is checking on the daily?

all Asher is saying is that someday if he ever gets a royalty check that Universal doesn't recoup he's sending it back to Scotland or whever

How can people talk about eating so many shrimp when there's a potato famine going on?

I liked him better when he was in LFO.

i'm kind of in denial that he actually said that

lolz and all...but...fuck this guy.

hadn't heard k'naan until he had that NFL draft commercial that played like a zillion times last weekend

EMMANUAL JAI

so he really said this huh

he really does love college

He loves the most cliche, irredeemably stupid aspects of college.

i love lollage

seriously what makes "I Love College" any different than Bad Ronald's "Let's Begin"?
http://www.spike.com/video/bad-ronald-lets/2790441

Is it because Bad Ronald were more fratty mook beer-pong types and Asher Roth is more of a preppy douchebag beer-pong type?

give up k Whiney?

hmmm...i think all the bad ronald stans on ILM have some serious thinking to do.

i love lollage

OTM.

He loves the most cliche, irredeemably stupid aspects of college.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, April 29, 2009 4:21 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark

not so much this -- its that he loves these things abt college in a cliche, irredeemably boring way.

i can't even muster up the enthusiasm to find this on mediafire and dl it so i can join in with y'all.

that mixtape and "i lol college" months and month ago was enough for me

yeah...i honestly don't know how y'all muster the energy to actively hate on the guy this much, especially now that the album is out and looking like a mild flop and we can stop pretending he's gonna do "Ice Ice Baby" numbers. i'm sure it helps that none of the stations i listen to play "College," though, and if he rallies with a sleeper hit in a few months Soulja Boy-style i may change my tune.

nevermind i think the way his new bullshit press release opens with "Truth: I am 23 year old imperfect human being who’s world is drastically changing around him" has pushed me back into steady hatin'.

hahahha

who's

hoos

HOOS world/constantly changing

Truth: I am 23 year old imperfect human being HOOS world is drastically changing around him tbh imo afaik

As of late, statements I’ve made have been stirring up much controversy and speculation. It is in my best interest that I feel I should address these instances personally and specifically. Truth: I am 23 year old imperfect human being who’s world is drastically changing around him. Facebook is no longer for just me and my friends. Twitter is no longer solely for the watchful eye of my parents. A new responsibility and voice has been placed upon me and is being heard well beyond my immediate peers. I’ve been receiving a crash course on perspectives and a very real sensitivity that exists and is an essential part of our world. With that, I’d like to sincerely apologize for any words that have been misinterpreted and may have offended any man, woman or child.

The twitter situation was an immature attempt to poke fun at an infamously moronic joke. In doing so, I unconsciously stooped to the level of its originator, making it just as bad, if not worse. Pathetic. Lesson learned - nothing good can come from repeating hateful words, regardless of your intentions. Leaving no context in what was being said and being presented through text (no facial or vocal inflection) the sarcasm of the joke (or lack there of) was not properly perceived and left it purely in bad taste. I immediately apologized for my immaturity but the apologies and original post were deleted by my team in an effort to prevent more people from being offended. Unfortunately, the deletion of these statements led several people to believe that my apology was insincere, which is why I have made the decision to release this statement.

The latest quote on giving back was in response to a question about rappers and their money posed to me by the interviewer. With the question and entire vibe of the conversation not being present in the article, when my statement came out in print it appeared as if I was taking black rappers to task randomly. Not the case. Although I do feel strongly about giving back when we are in a position of power and prosperity, it is not my place to talk about what others should do with their lives. Lesson learned: talk about what you know. You can call them mistakes, I call them life lessons. It is my duty as a human being to choose my words carefully, for I am a kind soul who puts a lot of stock in the progess of humans. I am a work in progress, as we all are and I will take this opportunity to learn and grow. Its bigger than an apology, its an understanding.

Moving forward, I hope we can all take some perspective and guidance from the dialogue that has emerged from these situations. I know I already have and will continue to do so.

Onward and upward

With love,

Asher Roth

I am a kind soul who puts a lot of stock in the progess of humans

i respect that statement tbh

So he's afraid to offend people is the bottom line. Which is usually the mark of a not too interesting artist. Not that he was interesting talking about black rappers not caring for the motherland, he was just a douche, irredeemably uninteresting and predictable.

the song with beanie came on the radio today and i guiltily bumped that shit

Twitter is no longer solely for the watchful eye of my parents.

epic

this guy was a media disaster waiting to happen

i thoroughly enjoyed this (no tofu)

him and his tour dudes goofing around covering "boom boom pow" with some lame new verses but it's fun

no

yaagh, the fergie moment :(

this dude's entire career has been one big fergie moment

http://rapradar.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/58487444.jpg?w=400&h=600

lmao

man i'm so glad this guy didn't blow up, would've been the worst

kid cudi really put asher roth into perspective for me

i know it goes without saying but this is really, really, really bad

http://nahright.com/news/2010/05/14/video-asher-roth-muddy-swim-trunks/

kill

NEW ALBUM LET'S GET IIIIIIIIIT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP_CwX9I5kM

this is prob the least worst thing he's ever put out actually

altho it's also like he heard "walk alone" and was like "shit, i need to do something that corny!"

no tofu on this whole revive of course

its funny, this is so aesthetically ugh to me but there is so much rap that is aesthetically similar ... anyone really into i dunno Blu or whatever, is his stuff that much better than this?

http://nahright.com/news/2010/08/30/thee-tom-hardy-bmf-bananas-are-monkey-food/

oh dear what is that??

it's thee tom hardy!!

so J0rdan how many different titles have you referred to Eminem's "Not Afraid" as now, I know there was "Never Alone" and "Walk Alone," any others?

I like swim trunks and a first listen to foie gras is okay
no me, i guess

the 2009 Salem

no idea what that means

he's calling both of them wiggers

whoa, this thread really does have a Bad Ronald reference

I still have that CD. Obviously it's really stupid but kind of funny. "Let's Begin" still is a pretty good song.

this thread is pretty funny

you know what, Foie Gras is pretty good actually.

color me shocked

wow forks

forks is the antigoon

forks repping for asher before he was a total pariah is quaint, him sticking his guns in 2010 is just kinda brass balls imo

we don't always get to choose what we like
and yeah, he's come off as a total schmuck in every interview i've read/seen
but he sounds good over a whole lotta these beats

we don't always get to choose what we like

http://www.asherrothblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/asher_roth-437x300.jpg

the heart wants what it wants

http://www.korubo.com/erling/hararedemo.jpg

imo its weirder that he was into it before the hype -- truly a glance at taste thru the looking glass -at least after the hype he could claim contrarianism

lolz at your presumptions
i was curious about him because he was getting booked in the city and people were shopping him around for live performances with EPKs and mixtapes and i liked what i heard and was aware there was enough of a push that he was gonna be a national artist hence the thread start

http://www.asherrothblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/asher_roth-437x300.jpg

cool, Z S put out a rap album?

wait, you post a lol racism picture when nobody else is even connecting his wackness to his whiteness and you call us presumptuous?

think yer confusing "lol racism" with "lol kneejerk response" in a gif battle

gee how could i ever misinterpret your crystal clear message

u picking a fite white boy?

great posting

so what does forks's card say? "it is because of my display name that I am called corny"?

i'd like to make an offer to some dude to change my display name to "some dude otm" for a month if he promises to take a break from backing me into boring arguments. i'm not interested in becoming the interim babysitter for his bitchfits while he's not engaging with deej.

haha have i been mean to you lately besides light jabs in the your "kick me" sign asher roth thread? if so i don't remember it and apologize.

dude, i'm just joshing with you

now if i can find some pigeon to follow my lead, we can make a waka flocka these

somebody tell roth that i dont love college

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/asher-roth-flowers-on-the-weekend/

please clap

The existence of this album is still somehow one of the stranger things about 2020.

alright i guess i gotta listen.
