C'mon dude, still sellin' weight and still flippin' keys and still killin' and/or havin' muhf*ckas killed in your raps is just as corny as goofy Frat Hop and you know it.
Asher Roth is one of the kids I would've been at Univ with who
started listening to hip-hop post 2003 thinks Soundbombing II was his generation's defining moment, even though at the time he was listening to Linkin Park worships the beats that fall from Madlib's arse-crack pays for records on his parent's credit card (with their consent) provokes self-hating in myself as a lactose-tolerant listener and purchaser of hippedy-hop
seems like a decent, regular-ass dude in this interview, but i can't say i'm a fan of his music. i can see his appeal for a certain crowd though[/b]
Markets are increasingly turning to sales via a person who most closely resembles their target audience imo. Shit, for UK heads, how long before Dr Who is one of the 14 year-old boys that watch it?

thank you.
LOL, dude, it's well known that you don't even like rap (Herm is merely misguided).
if he's Amish and this whole thing is part of rumspringa - coming-of-age ritual of young adults going away to experience the (sins/trappings of the) real world before commiting to Amish life - that would be interesting. but his raps would still blow.

Why do white rappers always have to pronounce Rs like that? It hurts.
Hemol I'm shocked.

To cleanse the palate:

Herm, you look a whole lot like Kermit the Frog to me right now, liesurely riding a bicycle singing "why are there so many rap songs about rainbows?"
I found myself liking that Jamie Foxx joint, "Blame It on the Alcohol." Weird how Autotune sounds so perfectly normal these days, you barely notice it.
Sorry to come into this thread and not discuss Asher Roth (I've successfully avoided him thus far and plan to continue doing so), but Manute Bol One's comment reminded me of something. I recently got sucked into one of those VH1 shows on the '90s and heard Cher "Believe" for the first time in years (sorry, it was inescapable in San Francisco when it came out). Remember how weird her voice sounded on that song? Now it sounds positively tame.

it does. It does hurt. Seeing as how dude isn't from the Bay (where I first heard that r-talking), I'm inclined to believe that White Rapper Talk has reached some sort of universal commonality across the world or something. Like Super Flaming Gay Guy Talk.
this thread is great, though: I already learned about Asher Roth a few months ago on here, but now I know MTV is still doing Spring Break. That blows my mind.

Also, they don't say a thing about killing anyone in this song so far as I can understand. Talking about carrying guns, yes. Killing people, nope. You might want to check your southern rapper stereotype before you apply it to every dude with an drawl, a grill, and lyrics about selling drugs.

Personally, I think this just confirms the secret in-the-closet history of the queer influence on hip-hop.

Is it though? Look - I never heard Roth until I heard him getting played - middle of the day - on Hot 97. I'm pretty sure the station doesn't share much with most college radio playlists.
Slight tangent: maybe it makes sense but it's weird to me that Eminem seems wholly irrelevant nowadays. Of course, having dipped out for a few years doesn't help the career either.

Hey O, did you hear that Lark cut or "College?" I thought I had ducked dude's whole steez until "College" came on while I was tuned into B96, which is the hip-hop/R&B/Dance station aimed at white people. I groaned, but I wasn't surprised. B96's audience is Asher's prime demographic.
Comments
thank you.
I'm not into the message but fuggit, this song is undeniably enjoyable. Ay!
why is this thread so long?
wuddup azh
started listening to hip-hop post 2003
thinks Soundbombing II was his generation's defining moment, even though at the time he was listening to Linkin Park
worships the beats that fall from Madlib's arse-crack
pays for records on his parent's credit card (with their consent)
provokes self-hating in myself as a lactose-tolerant listener and purchaser of hippedy-hop
Markets are increasingly turning to sales via a person who most closely resembles their target audience imo. Shit, for UK heads, how long before Dr Who is one of the 14 year-old boys that watch it?
Sold a boatload of downloads, despite itself
Yeah I mean I think it sucks don't get me wrong
Truly an awful record.
Does dude even have an audience any more?
Tough to imagine anybody over 15 caring about his music, and all of his original fans have aged out of the demographic.
I think I'd actually bet on Asher Roth over him in '09, despite the fact that Roth's gimmick is so thin (eminem, minus the talent and the angst).
LOL, dude, it's well known that you don't even like rap (Herm is merely misguided).
Is it that or the fact the Roth comes across as a novelty act?
the first CD he bought was Dave Matthews Band jesussss
he was quoted as saying something like "i think rap will be easy to do"
basically his whole career is based his first time experiences with booze, drugs and girls...
basically what most of us here experienced in high school...
yea but he isnt Amish so this shit is boring
he is typecasted. i never see him not wearing the college shirt..
career is over before it started....what is he gonna rap about after college
going to night school to finish his degree in computer science? trying to find a babysitter?
I didn't think I'd like this, but its not the worst thing I've ever heard. The beat is nice.
the beat is awesome. his raps suck. even Snoop had central themes..
Black people know who Asher Roth is. Stop being racist, internets.
Hemol I'm shocked.
