*NEW* Asher Roth Talks Politics, Album & His Hip Hop College

[TheDJCocktailTV]

Is it me or does Kid Cudi and Asher Roth talk in the same intelligent and intellectual manner?

[hideandgolove]

@ontheprowl1000 If I'm ignorant than why did 80 people like my comment on this video.... Why would you even be watching Asher Roth videos if you don't like him?

[HALFxJAQ]

Bill Nye the Science guy!

[arsenalmanz]

[bailcorr]

Sour Patch Kid is a song about Awesomeness

[Richinity]

i love this fool

[mrmedical2010]

give us science rap

[santeria1193]

Oh my god. I just fell in love

[Mshallal89]

Great for rappers to spread a positive message!!! God bless you Asher!!

[RLBJ90]

did anyone know asher roth is a homosexual? im not lying he came out on an interview. but god dam. he is still one of the greatest in my book hands down. breaking all olds!

[hendrixaholic432]

@RLBJ90 He didn't come out. The incredibly unreliable news outlets that you believe without a source said he was, he then put them down saying he wasn't and he is disappointed that 1- it is a lie and being easily believed and 2- Sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, makes kids who are growing up see that and not make them wanna be themselves.

[wasapur]

should Kid Cudi and Asher Roth make a song?

[r3aLwEEdSm0k3r]

real hip hop is comin this year..2011

[colassalcoconutttt]

I've been on my grind,

I can only grind,

Ah Ah Ah,

For so long.

[dasbakon]

This guy comes across as being very unintelligent.

[PointBlank242]

u guys are pathetic. take what means something to you and dont take away what means something to other

[some18youknow]

Asher Roth, Wiz Khalifa, B.o.B., Kid Cudi, Wale, andYelawolf Bringing Hip Hop Back!!

[andyjb49]

@some18youknow fuck yeah man! People who say Hip Hop is dead haven't heard of the new school coming out.

Don't forget J.Cole from that list though LOL

[bonekraker117]

@some18youknow nah just cudi and asher roth...Bobby ray sold out and so did cudi but not as bad...

[truckdatchit]

@bonekraker117 how the fuck did asher "sell out"

[bonekraker117]

@bonekraker117 oops i didnt mean to say asher every one but him :)

[Laxer1313]

@some18youknow B.o.B. are you joking? wiz? are you kidding, what do they sing about random pointless shit, cudi and asher are a diff story, they say something

[Lowell253]

@some18youknow and Lupe

[555felixthecat]

His music is really good but he sounds like a huge stoner.

[RAFrhymesandflow]

The new age rappers that think they know everything = Young Money

[CallenRah]

Wow this is boring

[livinthegoodlife77]

damn asher is just an all in all real dude. He doesn't freeze up on any of these questions bc he knows exactly what hes talkin about. That's the definition of a strong artist

[xsimpson11x]

@MajahKOfficial, ok bozo. Ash isn't cocky in any way...

[harveykid]

I don't think it's a shame that he isn't making millions because that's when the quality ends and you lose the artist.

[NoOneLeavesHungry]

His political view might be slightly on the right path asking questions is good, but what the world needs to do is understand the different philosophical view that control the world are, when you compare then you immediatly know which one is the best for the world.

[sferb]

this is like the rapping version of the guy from Half Nelson. :/

[jrffisher]

Asher Roth is intelligent

[MajahKOfficial]

@jrffisher imagine soulja boy bein asked these questions lmaooooo

[NoOneLeavesHungry]

@MajahKOfficial Just because Soulja Boy doesn't speak intelligently like that doesn't mean he isn't. He's 5 year younger then Asher and has 10 times as much money as him. Look at 50 Cent. The guy is a business genius, read the 50th law, it just so happens that him talking about the state the world is in, isn't in his best interests to make money.

[MajahKOfficial]

@NoOneLeavesHungry Yeh the only reason asher isn't loaded with cash is because before he even proved anything asher was acting all cocky for no reason thinkin he was gonna sell millions of records before even proving anything yet.MTV was bigging him up to be like some ''problem'' for all rappers.. and then when he dropped his album asleep in the bread aisle...it didn't go too well...quite horrible actually...not that the album was whack..but more like..nobody likes a cocky show off college guy..

[andyjb49]

@NoOneLeavesHungry Money doesn't equal intelligence. It just shows that these artists are economically-focused enough to capitalise on the depressing fact that the masses / the mainstream love microwave music.

Asher's true to himself, puts out true music, and is DOPE at it all the same. I respect guys like Ash, Talib Kweli and Jay Electronica who put the music before the money. It's not like they struggling for money, they still getting plenty of dough to feed the family yknow

[NoOneLeavesHungry]

@andyjb49 lol you did not compare Roth to Kweli. Asher Roth's only hit song's hook was, "I love college, I love drinking" He's got a decent flow but he's not out here dropping knowledge on us.

[andyjb49]

@NoOneLeavesHungry Go listen to Roth's version of 'A Milli' then make a judgement.

[TheSchimmi]

It's funny, he has more rap roots than any black rapper. Rapping in the form of rap battles took place in Scotland thousands of years ago and since Asher is Irish, there's a good chance he's at least part Scottish.

[BALLER511]

asher is that guy,favorite white rapper next to emenim

[roronora]

Asher is awesome.

[tlink1993]

good interviewer

[mrflab714]

that premo track would be insane.

[hideandgolove]

asher roth is so intelligent and underrated. its a shame, he's an amazing rapper

[lytes2992]

ash is madd dope

he knows hip hop hes intelligent

he jux a cool dude

[MegaMissPrincess93]

@lytes2992 hehe you speak funny

[yeebich707lilD]

wheres this dude from? i swear he does sound and look lightweight like kai straw. this that i love college dude?

[drakefliptekard]

Asleep in the Bread Aisle? Lark on My Go-Kart? And yeah he sounds and "lightweight" looks like Kai Straw. They're both irish white dudes.

[BrazillionDollars]

they should jump on each others shit. kai's gettin signed so i mean.. who knos. the thing about ash is that he really is just himself. thass some reall coo shit.

[cicjay]

Asher Roth is one of the best yet very underrated rappers.. His flow is awsome

[jay58oconnor6]

asher is intelligent... i tell you what

[zero1356]

This is a great interview Asher really knows what hes talking about people need to listen for real we have an intelligent person right here,more people like this and good things are to come.

[jassygirl0917]

Asher is so smart!!!! I love this guy.
