  • This guy went to my high school!!!

  • he just probably took all the big words he knew and threw them together haha hes dope though

  • this guy is such a boss...so intellegent

  • dont worry your dope

  • love this dude, awesome flow.

  • An intelligent rapper with good beats and a sick flow. What an oddity. He dropped "cognizant" during the interview - well played, Asher.

  • brother of mark zuckerberg ..FACT

  • i dont like his music but i like him as an individual kinda sad lol wish i could listen to him like that

  • he has no skill ...he sucks

  • @KingdomHeartsLoverer Are you retarded dude? He is one of the most talented hip hop artists in the industry. He also isn't a complete dumbass like most are...so stfu and go troll somewhere else you piece of shit, low life, donkey-fucking whore.

  • @TryHardNoobies

    >Are you retarded dude? He is one of the most talented hip hop artists in the industry.

    BAHAHAHAHAAHA. What kind of hip hop do you listen to? Drake? Lil Wayne? He's utterly mediocre and average. Jesus Christ kid, elevate your taste.

  • @zabrak999 If you honestly think that lil wayne has talent then you have an IQ under a rock. Like Asher said these days, rap is all about money. They could care less about what their "Music" is about. As long as they get more money. There's no message in any of the new day shit rap. Asher raps about having fun and being yourself which is the real goal in life. He is one of the few artists I like in the rap/hip hop industry for that very reason. Drake, Wiz, ect. dont rap about anything important.

  • @brandonethington I don't think he's talented, dip shit. I was guessing that he listens to that trash if he thinks asher roth is impressive or good

  • @TryHardNoobies you are exactly the reason why youtube has become the piece of garbage it is today people can't post their state their opinion without getting raged at im not saying i support the guys opinion but ur over reacting all he said was that asher roth sucks its not like he was trolling or raging like you

  • He's a cool guy.

  • he's DOPE

    

  • I see why he was going into education , maybe he will go back because he seems to know what it needs, or he could come out with another album, either works for me

  • y the fuck is soulja boy lil wayne and drake famous however asher aint getting shit from the media it pisses me offf

  • HERE IS WHAT NAS SAID aka a legend in hip hop now.

    Hip hop use to make money and movements by rapping about conscience...now it makes money out of nonsense..

  • Asher Roth, you're a beautiful man. :)

  • very true.

    

  • hes the 2nd socrates

  • hes the 2nd socrates

  • honky ass motherfucker so soft he makes lambs look dangerous

  • @likemy

    okay racist...hip hop doesn't discriminate.....plus since when did rappers need to look armed and dangerous..wth...you don't know hip hop at all...stick to metal or something....smh

  • @likemy when u said honky that makes me think your black.so shut the hell up you dumb nigger

  • You're both retarded. And of course it's the same word; and that would be a valid point if we weren't talking about context and talking about plain literal spelling.

    "I'm fucking her" - Verb

    "You fucking retard" - Adjective

  • I love Asher Roth but I loved him before I knew who he was, like I only heard the music, I had never seen him or anything like that. I really do hate the fact that all these little girls jump on these videos and say they listen to his music because he's sexy. I have to say, he is sexy, but I loved and listened to him before I thought he was :)

  • The nature of the devil is to go against its nature in order to sway the sleeping from the truth

  • WOW...he is waayyy more down to earth than i thought he would be after watching his college video

  • funkin moron

  • @jmart0031 "funkin moron"? Ur the fucken moron u can't even spell fucking

  • @MrZumiez51 Clearly the word "fucking" isn't spelled "fucken" so apparently neither can you...

  • @rougefantasyinfused You're really stupid those are to seperate words..

    "I'm fucking her" "You fucken retard" One's a verb and the other is an action :T

  • @MrZumiez51 Clearly you're really stupid because it's the same word weither it's used as a noun or a verb.

  • @jmart0031 your father

  • seeexxeeeiiiii voice.. 

  • he has wack lyrics

  • I'd fuck 'im.

  • id vote roth

  • I hate that he's into women!

  • @jonatanblack01 fuk off faggot

  • @caspa2204 you wish. you're not even black.

  • @jonatanblack01 i never said i was black u dull cunt. fuk off homo!!! noone here likes homos!!

  • @caspa2204 everyone luva da homolo :)

  • i'm in loveeeeee

  • "we've settled for mediocracy in America" and as a professional word smith you don't even know the word "Mediocrity" good...just making sure that you're not part of the "mediocracy"

  • he is so fine.

  • Comment removed

  • @kyrz0 he isnt 'criticizing' other hip-hop artists

  • Prostitutes.....my bad

  • Soooo no unprotected sex with prostituted?

  • SYRACUSE!

  • Asher Roth looks like Mark Zuckerberg!!

  • This guy is so intelligent. I do agree with the people saying its good he is trying to not act black but if you are talking about how eminem does well he grew up in freaking detroit and had a ton of black friends if you hung out with black guys (I dont and thats not because I'm racist.... I just live in maine...so ya) you would have some of the qualities too so stop hating.

  • @stuffedinalocker sorry but how does Eminem act "black"? he is who he is... He's white, so therefore he is an example of how white people can act. It's like saying Barack Obama acts white, because all the former presidents were white.

  • Comment removed

  • @stuffedinalocker I was agreeing with you...

  • @YourPalHDee ohhhhh my bad the way it was worded sounded like you were disagreeing with me .....completely my bad.

  • @stuffedinalocker props to living in Maine i do also.

  • i love that he doesnt try to act black

  • @facelessplayer woaaaaaaahhh act black? black is a race, not a personality.... lol

  • @bigmullishome Hahahahahaha, I agree on your point just the "wooooooooaaah" made me fuckin' laugh haha!

  • i would ride his dick into the night.... too much? sorry.

  • Almost no one could take about or share these opinions and ideas he's bringing up without a joint or two

  • Almost no one would have or be able to share the opinions without a joint or two

  • mY dUdE asHEr ROtH IS MAd iNTeLlIgEnT...

  • ok now do that in your raps, man, cuz to me the debut was huge disappointment. (other than the songs sourpatchkids, fallin, and larkonmygokart.

  • Oh ya... Asher roth is smart, and a fucking legit progressive with a solid style... Something these republiCONS need to realise

  • damn. hes a smart guy and definitly has his shit together..

  • lol, mediocricy. 0:57

    its mediocrity homie.

  • @nimR0Dz dick rider

  • @nimR0Dz

    *Mediocracy is actually a registered and commonly used word among certain social groups, it's just a mistake that is made so often that people recognize it as proper.

  • @nimR0Dz too true

  • all i can say is youre awesome. i love you

  • he's smexy

  • I love this guys instrumentals, they sound acoustic, and old school

  • Asher Roth Is Sick With It... But dont He Look Like The Dude That Maino Choked Out?!

  • @Abomb110285 He Do Just Different Hair

  • Very smart and down to earth guy, the music industry needs more people like this!

  • @estanuk unfortunately, we are caught trying to transform a ghetto rapper with a terrible rap sheet, INTO SOMEONE LIKE THIS.

  • Not only a sick rapper this dude smArt as hell. I love his music and now i repect him more for what he stands.

  • @1996mazda626 AND he smokes weed. :)

  • wow, he's different than I thought he would be. impressed !

  • Chill dude.

  • brittney spears does not matter

  • is this dude jewish?

  • @69ways2sunday yes, he is!

  • Yo why sometimes ppl be hatin on dis dude just becus he from da suburbs? Wether a rapper from da hood or not don't got nothin to do with wether dey can actually fuckin rap or not. U got plenty of mediocre and/or horrible rap niggas from da hood (sooulja boy, young jeezy, plies, etc.). I kno da majority of his fans probly just wite ppl who don't kno shit about rap and only support him bcus dey want anotha eminem but Asher really is pretty good.

  • Damn he's smart.

  • why the hell would anyone dislike this

    i mean honestly

  • being yourself really is the hardest thing to be..

  • Asher Roth is an awesome dude. love his music.

  • who the fuck cares, this guy is good.

  • This is a guy we should hear more from! Oh, and stop comparing him to eminem. And someone said that eminem was the best lyricist, but I say Lupe fiasco. But that's only my opinion and I don't really like eminem that much...

  • @SuperAwesomo4000 Eminem started his career off by saying these he really never did , remember that and o yea he had to act Black to be accepted

  • so bomb , he knows whats up, ash kills it all day everyday

  • i love asher and hes nothing compared to eminem

  • Hes right Britney Spears does not matter

  • 1:39 wtf syracuse? maryland? umm no.

  • Intelligent.

  • there are so many better underground artists then this fool.

    Brother ali

    Aesop Rock

    Slug

    (to name a few)

    Asher Roth is uncreative and played out. All you idiots who think he is the "greatest rapper" need to scratch more than the surface of mainstream hip hop. You'll thank me when you do.

  • @JayZilla306 I agree that Slug and Aesop and Brother Ali are incredibly gifted, but Asher isn't not, good. The guy's actually really smart and lyrically talented, and you can't deny that. I wouldn't care if you posted this on Soulja Boy's or Young Jeezy's shit, I hate them, but Asher's fuckin' good dude.

  • @JayZilla306 so basically you're saying he sucks? Then why have people said that he is lyrically one of the best rappers out there. He's not the greatest, but he is good. And who should listen to someone who doesn't even know the difference between then and than

  • @yosoybueno310

    people say he is one of the best lyricists because most of his fans are retarded.  they have never bothered to scratch more than the surface of hip hop. they are the same losers who think lil wayne is a genius.

    A.R =

    "i love college

    i love drinking

    i love women

    i love college"

    rhyming college with college, brilliant.

    ya lyrical genius, hahahaha he fuckin sucks

    Zilla's right on this one you fag/

  • @jameskshak what the fuck are you talking about? Was i ever talking about his fan base? No, you dumb piece of shit. Im talking about other fucking rappers and critics saying that shit. And you think you know shit because you judge him on one of his songs. Look up westwood asher roth. He comes up with shit off the top of his head. His freestyle is crazy. Li wayne sucks dick.... just like you. And real big man... calling people fags. Go fuck yourself you redneck cunt. Walk into oncoming traffic

  • @yosoybueno310

    you obviously have some good taste. the Dynospec is one of my all time favs. but your still a fag. im surprised by how long your response was. I take it you pulled your moms dick out of your mouth long enough to type that.

  • @jameskshak mhhhhmmmmm, how'd you guess? I'm still right. You just got schooled and have no response.

  • @yosoybueno310

    no thats not it. i just dont care what comes out of your shit eating mouth. if your backing up this fool, then your taste in music is whack. ill enjoy real hip hop, and you should probably go buy drakes album.

  • @jameskshak i never really said this was REAL hip hop. I like "Real" hip hop too. Ever heard of Aesop Rock, Brother ali, deep puddle dynamics, and the dynospectrum and all that shit. Is that real enough? Drake is shit. I like Asher because his lyrics are funny and his flow is good. He's not hardcore hip hop. It's just nice and smooth. And eminem isn't real hip hop. That's like hardcore rap

  • @yosoybueno310

    Aiight, your obviously a fan of RSE and DEF JUX. That is a list of my Fav Artists/Labels. So I cant hate too much, haha

  • @yosoybueno310 real talk. very well said

  • @jameskshak

    Don't act like you know what "real" hip hop is, music is subjective, your opinion is biased, now go hit the books little kid

  • @jameskshak itz better than did it on em did it on em did on em put 2s in the air if u did on em and so is We like her And we like her to We like her And they like us to I wish I could fuck every girl in the world I wish I could fuck every girl in the world Real nice wordplay
  • seems like a cool guy intelligent makes a revolutionary change in rap man x

  • To be honest I didnt think he was too smart but he is actually a fairly smart guy. He seems to have alot of meaning to what he does and I like him.

  • pretty amazing dude wouldnt mind drinking a bruski with this fellow!

  • He's unexpectedly intelligent.

  • check out my music on my page im verse 2

  • yea go Syracuse

  • why do all you idiots watch his interview if you dont like him. the eminem comparisons are absolutely retarded you people are fucking boneheads. makes me so mad how people that dont know shit are so stubborn and write him off automatically, your all just jealous.

  • Eminem would murda Asher Roth in a freestyle

  • @ISTAYFRSH3 dude who gives?

  • @XylanProductions naw because people keep comparing ashton roth to eminem, eminem been in the game waay longer than this clown and raps about reality and real stuff.... Partying and drinking gets old after a while..

  • @ISTAYFRSH3 You obviously have heard nothing but this dude's singles..Listen to some of his real stuff like his mixtape Seared Foie Gras With Quince & Cranberry then get back to me saying that his subject matter is only partying and drinking.

  • @XylanProductions Whatever he's nothing like Eminem

  • @ISTAYFRSH3 Exactly, hes a completely different artist.

  • no one says hes better than em,,,,em is the greatest out there lyrically...no one can deny that. asher just reminds people of the young em...fresh of the boat em

  • @spillane2007 asher roth's style is NOTHING like eminems style. I hate when people compare them. Just because they are both white.

  • dope dude

  • shit hes the smartest retard ive ever seen

  • did he say "mediocrisy"?

  • @shirazness ikr... someone should tell him it's mediocrity

  • Why would anyone compare this guy to Eminem, do they have even 1 similarity besides the fact that they are both white? It's like the idiots who compare biggy and tupac, they obviously don't listen to any rap other than the garbage thats crammed down their pathetic throats on MTV and pop radio stations. This guy is a spoiled rotten fucking jew from the suburbs it makes me sick that people actually like this.

  • Amazing rapper!

  • Asher ROTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • word....ppl who think he is like or is better than eminem...obviously dont noe hip hop

  • Why i like him:

    i can reflect his life to mine,

    his lyrics make sense he doesnt talk shit, its about just the life as youth and where he's going.

    everything he sings and raps about is just what i do, its intense to actually have a white rapper who does exactly the same shit, and doesnt give a fuck. Massive respect for asher paul roth haha. :)

  • i don't hate asher roth.  okay?

  • gotta love ash

  • this dude is an ass clown

  • maybe you are? who knows

  • he's a really good talker, he's suit being a politician instead haha

  • asher roth is damn hot

    yeah why you watch this if you hate him ??

    and he is the best rapper ever !

  • 3:13 umm....if you aren't in it for the money then how come your sh*t isn't free, Asher? lol Watch this kid fall apart on the Westwood clips West basically makes him look as bad as he is...sorry man.

  • @MyWORDisntGospel Um...you still have to make a living to survive...plus, he did release a mixtape which was free...

  • @MyWORDisntGospel um...its his career...

  • pretty sure you look stupid buttt alright?! do you see him rapping about money nah .. so stfu

  • "lets talk about... brittney spears.." no lets talk about something that really matters hahahahhaha

  • JAHAHA what is zambrano831?and what kind of crazy videos r they ?... check it out...search him

  • this guy is great and a amazing singer

  • sick rapper

    what a legend

  • @BreakBeatWilNevaDie i wouldnt say legend yet but the kid is nice and has proved himself on the mic...he just has to keep bringing it

  • genuine person, its not often that u find a rapper that isnt full of shit

  • hahaha word.

  • @nuksucow1983 agreed. i like how he pointed out how like evrything isnt money money like it normally is in rap music...and i really do like how he didnt even sound fake when he was talking....i think i'm in love =]

  • sick rapper no joke

  • baller

  • i was not thinking that hooker thing at alll.....

    now i am!.. hhhhmmmmmmmmm

  • Holy shit, he actually has a brain

  • he's smart

    good interview and he's right!

    & O gosh he's a cutie!

  • In response to the ever-civil and eloquent ptrox123, mediocracy is technically a word (despite the fact that Firefox's browser spell-check doesn't recognize it). However, it means "A government run by mediocre people," which doesn't really make sense in the context he's using it. I think he's looking for "mediocrity." When your profession is just stringing words together to make them rhyme (and still failing - "I am the champion / of beer pong" is a stretch), he should say the right words.

  • @supermen2k4

    i smell jealousy.

  • Very good interview. This is the guy who sings My Kapowski, right?

  • I WOULD MARRY YOU...if i was your age. hahah your amazingg so is ur music! yeahh budy rollin like a big shot. ima baller

  • he commented on the gay rumor and no he is straight

  • ive listened to all of asher roth songs HE IS THE BEST YAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Subscribe to me to see asain tits live!!!!

  • Regarding "mediocracy." Yeah, I do think he's making up a word like that, because he's an idiot. There's really nothing innovative about "I Love College," it's one of the least thought provoking songs I've ever heard. And it's just beyond egotistic to claim that you've made a song that will be an anthem "for years to come."

  • mediocracy is a real word dumbass. Why don't you check your vocabulary first before you start shit.

  • do u not kno what that means

  • So, he is allegedly gay???? So...I really don't care! He has talent! And while I am afraid of how the majority of his fanbase may react to this, if it is in fact true, he will at least show them that his sexuality wasn't a factor at first when you assumed he was straight...... Maybe all of this will clear up a few clouds of ignorance!

  • his not gay!!!

  • i still don't believe hes gay
