Opinions? His flow sounds like somebody xeroxed eminem, but I'm interested in spite of myself. Pretty nice on first blush.

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.

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:

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 20:12 (seventeen years ago)

this makes this look like Wallace And Grommit.

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

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

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?

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

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

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 20:23 (seventeen years ago)

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" ???

pleasure p (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 26 April 2009 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

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"

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 21:33 (seventeen years ago)

excuse me, rrrrrruxpin

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 21:33 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

*can't see the appeal

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 26 April 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

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.

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.

The Brainwasherroth (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 27 April 2009 04:04 (seventeen years ago)

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

this is a good way to end a pissed off post

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.

GOON carter cash (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 22:43 (seventeen years ago)

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

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

righteous lecoq (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 7 August 2010 06:29 (fifteen years ago)

no tofu on this whole revive of course

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

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

deej, Thursday, 11 November 2010 17:05 (fifteen years ago)

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

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.

I'm sure Ebay has some wicked pog collections (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 11 November 2010 17:58 (fifteen years ago)
